Title: Legendary Pokémon Content: Legendary Pokémon are very rare Pokémon in the Pokémon world. Characters in the series often claim that very few people have seen them. They are hard to catch, and are stronger than most other Pokémon. They have powers that other Pokémon do not have. In the games some roam around, while others stay in one spot until the it. If the player defeats a legendary Pokémon, they will often not be available again, because there is only one of them, in rare cases they might reappear after certain conditions are met.

But legendary Pokémon can also be caught with a normal Poké Ball.
