A '''Legendary Group''' is  a group of closely related [[Legendary Pokemon|Legendary]] or [[Legendary Pokemon|Mythical Pokemon]].<br>
Legendaries in the same group often possess similar [[Guides#Summoning Legendaries|Summoning]] mechanics, requiring either the same [[Shrines|shrine]] or [[Summoning Items|items]] connected by the same lore.<br>
To make an example, to invoke the [[#Legendary Birds]] the player is required to recharge a [[File:px64_Melody Flute.png|24px|link=Melody Flute]][[Melody Flute|Flute]] 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.
