Legendary Pokémon With the Best Lore, Ranked
Sinnoh’s trio sits at the center of Pokémon’s creation myth: Dialga governs time, Palkia space, and Giratina the Distortion World. Unova, Kalos and Alola have powerful legends of their own, but fewer shape a region’s cosmology so directly.

Cutest Legendary Pokémon, Ranked
Cosmog and Cosmoem look like pocket-size stars, while Kubfu has the eager focus of a student ready for training. Ogerpon's masks give it a different personality for every mood, and Munkidori adds a mischievous edge. Terapagos's Normal Form is adorable, even if its larger battle forms feel less cuddly.
