In the Pokémon world, there are over 1,000 different pocket monsters. Some of these Pokémon are special because of their stats, abilities, and stories. Most Pokémon, whether they are beginners or fully evolved, are typical in the Pokémon world. But some Pokémon are known as Legendary and Mythical.
Mythical Pokémon are very rare and often thought to be just rumors. Having one can make a Trainer very famous. There’s some confusion about the difference between Mythical and Legendary Pokémon.
Mythical Pokémon are a special type of Legendary Pokémon. They are usually harder to find and have high stat totals of 600 or more.
There are currently just under 24 Mythical Pokémon, with the newest one being Pecharunt from Generation 9, introduced in the Pokémon: Scarlet & Violet – Mochi Mayhem epilogue of The Indigo Disk DLC.
Arceus
Arceus is said to be the Pokémon that made the whole Pokémon world, and people call it “The Original One.” It has many amazing powers like bringing back things it destroyed, stopping time, and talking to humans. Arceus can also travel through time and change its type using Plates or Z-crystals to fit any situation.
On top of all these powers, Arceus has some of the best stats among all Pokémon. It has the highest total stats in the Pokedex, adding up to 720, with each stat being 120. These stats, along with its size, make Arceus the strongest Mythical Pokémon ever.
Mew
What makes Mew special compared to other Mythical Pokémon is that it has the DNA of all Pokémon. This means it can learn almost any move from TMs, HMs, TRs, and Move Tutors. Because it can use any attack, it can be strong against many different types of Pokémon and learn some of the best moves.
Mew also has balanced stats, with 100 points in each area, totaling 600. Additionally, it can fly, travel through water, and become invisible. These abilities make Mew very unique and powerful.
Deoxys
Deoxys does not evolve, but it can change into four different forms: Normal Forme, Speed Forme, Attack Forme, and Defense Forme.
Each form is good at different parts of battles, giving Deoxys different abilities and making it very strong and hard to beat. All four forms have a total of 600 points in their stats, but the points are spread out differently in each form to match its focus.
Deoxys is very smart. In the anime and manga, it can make copies of itself. It also has psychic powers, can shoot powerful laser beams, and can heal itself, making it even harder to defeat. Deoxys comes from space, and its forms, psychic abilities, and overall strength make it one of the strongest Mythical Pokémon.
Diancie
At first glance, Diancie might seem gentle and sweet, like a cute Mythical Pokémon wearing a little dress and a diamond crown. But because it’s a combination of rock and fairy types, Diancie has a lot of strong moves. This little Pokémon has a great story behind it and is the only Mythical Pokémon that can Mega Evolve.
In its normal form, Diancie has a total base strength of 600. Its HP and Speed are both very low, at only 50 points each. Its Attack and Special Attack are even, both at 100, but its Defense and Special Defense are incredibly high, both at 150.
When Diancie Mega Evolves, its total strength goes up to 700. Surprisingly, its HP remains low at 50 points, but all of its other stats become very high.
Celebi
Celebi is a Pokémon known by many names like ‘Time Travel Pokémon’ and ‘Voice of the Forest’. It has very strong powers. Celebi can travel through time, heal wounds, and make nature grow and become healthy wherever it appears.
Since plants are very important in the Pokémon world for things like food and other uses, helping nature thrive and restoring balance can be important in some places. Celebi has an even spread of 100 in each stat line, giving it a total of 600 in stats.
Melmetal
Melmetal is a special Pokémon because it’s the only Mythical Pokémon that evolves. It evolves from Meltan, which is also a Mythical Pokémon. Melmetal is known for being very rare and strong. It’s not easy to catch or defeat in battles.
Melmetal’s body is made of liquid metal and hex nuts. This gives it flexibility and also makes its punches very powerful. Melmetal has the highest punch strength of any Pokémon.
Compared to Meltan, Melmetal is much stronger. Meltan evolves by absorbing other Meltans and becoming Melmetal. Melmetal has a total base power of 600. However, it’s not very fast, with a Speed stat of only 34. Its Attack and Defense stats are both 143, and its HP stat is 135, which makes it very powerful in battles.
Darkrai
Darkrai is a special Pokémon because it can control dreams and give nightmares to its enemies. It’s more of a defense mechanism than an attack, though. The nightmares stop when a lunar feather from Cresslia is used.
Darkrai can also turn into a shadow and disappear from any opponent, whether it’s a Pokémon or a human, so it’s hard to catch.
Darkrai is like other rare Pokémon with a total of 600 points, but it has a low HP, just 70. Its Defense and Special Defense are also weak, so it’s best if it doesn’t get hit.
Darkrai makes up for this with its strong Special Attack of 135 and Speed of 125. It can often defeat opponents before they can do much.
