If you play Pokemon Go, you probably know about the various types of Pokemon that you can catch. Not only are there multiple shapes, sizes, and classes of Pokemon in the game, but they also vary in terms of rarity and strength.

You can find some Pokemon easier than others throughout the game, and some are much harder to collect. Some of the best Pokemon you can catch belongs to the category of pseudo legendary Pokemon. If you're interested in acquiring those, read on to find out how you can get one!

What Is A Pseudo Legendary Pokemon?

A pseudo legendary Pokemon is a fan-term to denote any Pokemon that has:

  • three stages of evolution
  • experience of 1,250,000 at level 100
  • base stat total of precisely 600, excluding a Mega Evolution
  • These Pokemon are some of the best in the game due to their high stats.

    Fans call these "pseudo legendary" and don't classify them as "legendary" because you can find them more than once, they can evolve, and they can breed.

    As you might expect, pseudo legendary Pokemon are much harder to find in the Pokemon Go game than other types. Even when you do find them, being able to catch them is another skill to master. You may have to use an Ultra Ball and become an expert thrower to avoid one of these Pokemon escaping capture. Since they're so rare, you'll want to make sure you master these techniques before encountering one!

    all pseudo legendary pokemon

    There are only a few Pokemon in the game that meet all these criteria. Those Pokemon are:

    • Dragonite: The original pseudo legendary Pokemon is a dragon that has 263 in attack points, 198 defense, and 209 HP. It's a beast, and if you find that you can capture it, Dragonite will make a fantastic addition to any team.
    • Tyranitar: With 251 attack, 207 defense, and 225 HP, Tyranitar is a magnificent rock Pokemon with a few weaknesses. Still, it's a formidable Pokemon worthy of the pseudo legendary designation.
    • Salamence: This flying Pokemon has the highest attack of any of the pseudo legendaries at 277. Its defense is a little lower at 168, but it has a nice HP of 216.
    • Metagross: This Pokemon comes in a little light on the HP side at 190, but makes up for it with a 257 attack and 228 defense. Metagross can resist dragon attacks and has Meteor Mash, both of which make it a powerful performer in any Pokemon lineup.
    • Garchomp: With 261 attack, 193 defense, and 239 HP, it's no wonder that Garchomp is one of the most popular pseudo legendary Pokemon. Plus, Garchomp has such a cool look!
    • Hydreigon: At similar stats as Garchomp (256 in attack points, 188 defense, and 211 HP), Hydreigon is a powerful ally as it can resist psychic and ghost attacks.
    • Goodra: 220 in attack points, 242 defense, and 2017 HP combine to give this Pokemon a well-blended set of stats. It doesn't have a 4x weakness like the other pseudo legendaries, making it a treat to use.
    • Kommo-o: With a sizable 240 defense, 222 in attack points, and 181 HP combined, Kommo-o comes prepared for any fight. It's good against a plethora of
    • Dragapult: This is the newest Pokemon, so it doesn't have stats yet within Pokemon Go. However, it's shaping up to be quite an impressive one!
      a plethora of

    Each generation of Pokemon games introduces a new pseudo legendary Pokemon. For example, Dragonite appeared in the original Pokemon Red and Blue games. Metagross appeared in the third generation of Pokemon games, Ruby and Sapphire.

    Some Puzzles for Pseudo Legendary Pokemon

    1 Which One Is The Best Pseudo Legendary Pokemon?

    While pseudo legendary Pokemon all have the same base stats, they're not the same Pokemon by any means. There are some pseudo legendary Pokemon that are better than others.

    Generally, fans consider the newest pseudo legendary Pokemon, Dragapult, to be the best of Pokemon's class. As a dragon-type Pokemon, it's fast, fierce, and looks super cool. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more intriguing Pokemon than Dragapult.

    2 Is Lucario A Pseudo Legendary?

    Another class of Pokemon, called semi-pseudo legendary, often gets mistaken for pseudo legendary status. These Pokemon are strong on their right and are uncommon to find. However, their base statistics do not equal 600, so these fictional creatures do not meet the pseudo legendary criteria.

    Example Pokemon that people commonly believe are pseudo legendary Pokemon are Lucario, Kingdra, Aggron, and Volcarona. These four Pokemon belong to the semi-pseudo class instead, as none of their stats add up to 600.

    3 Where Can You Find Pseudo Legendary Pokemon?

    These Pokemon are rare to find. You'll likely have to be always on the lookout for them. You can use an online Pokemon radar or map to know the spawning locations of these Pokemon. However, that requires your device to be at the spawn location at the right time (as we'll see later, this isn't too challenging to do).

    One other option, of course, is to evolve a lower-stage Pokemon into its final stage. For example, Dreepy becomes Dragapult. Dreepies are easier to find in the wild than Dragapults, so that's another possibility. Naturally, it takes significant time and effort to evolve each of these Pokemon, but if you can't find a Dragapult in the wild, starting with the first-stage one is always an option.
