Legendary Groups

From Generations

A Legendary Group is a group of closely related Legendary or Mythical Pokemon.
Legendaries in the same group often possess similar Summoning mechanics, requiring either the same shrine or items connected by the same lore.
To make an example, to invoke the #Legendary Birds the player is required to recharge a Px64 Melody Flute.pngFlute infused with a certain Wing.

Some groups have also a more iconic Pokemon, known as Master, that is often not considered as part of the group and rarely shares a similar summoning mechanic as its members.


Many Legendary Pokemon are not part of a group, so they will not appear in this list. It is still possible for them to be connected in some way to the legendaries listed here.

Legendary Birds

The Legendary Birds, also known as Winged Mirages or Legendary Wings, is a group of Legendary Pokemon said to affect the weather of the world based on their moods.
The flaps of their wings are the source and cradle of all oceans, meaning they are closely bound to the guardian of the seas, Lugia. When the birds fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokemon that can quell their ceaseless fighting.
They all seem to respond to the melody of an ancient flute, but only if it has been infused with the power of the legendary.
