The 5th generation has several legendary Pokémon that will significantly change the meta of Pokémon GO. We give you an overview of 6 Pokémon.
What does this list show? After we have already introduced some non-legendary Pokémon, we now show you the legendary monsters of the 5th generation.
Explicitly, there are 6 that will become particularly strong, and that you should not miss in the 5th generation.
However, the values are not yet official. A lot can still change, so this should initially be regarded as a rough estimate.
You should remember these 6 legendary Pokémon
When could the Pokémon appear? There is no release date yet. According to some teasers for Gen 5, the first monsters could already appear this year.
Legendary Pokémon usually come in raids. It may take some time until all these legendary monsters are actually in the game.
This is important regarding the values: All these values are not officially from Niantic, but were determined by Gamepress using the formula for calculating values.
Especially with legendary Pokémon, it may be that Niantic adjusts this later since the values sometimes seem too strong.
The same applies to the attacks. They often determine whether a Pokémon is good or bad. They are, just like the values, not yet known.
Despite all these circumstances, the current values already give a hint about which legendaries can actually become strong.
1. White/Black Kyurem
- Type: Dragon and Ice
- Attack value: 310
- Defense value: 183
- HP value: 244
- Maximum CP: 4596
What makes this Pokémon special? Both white and black Kyurem are each fusions of an item and normal Kyurem. Normal Kyurem is already quite strong, but the two other forms are even more powerful.
Only Deoxys has a higher attack value, but Kyurem is much more durable and could overshadow any other Pokémon with the right attacks.
However, one can actually expect a nerf, as if these forms of Kyurem come into the game, they will easily dominate the types Ice and Dragon.
2. Thundurus (Therian Form)
- Type: Electric and Flying
- Attack value: 295
- Defense value: 161
- HP value: 188
- Maximum CP: 3659
What makes this Pokémon special? Thundurus can take on two forms. There is the Incarnate Form and the Therian Form. Especially the latter makes Thundurus powerful.
Its attack value of 295 is by far the highest among Electric-type Pokémon, and with the right attacks, it could become the best attacker of its type. As a Flying attacker, Thundurus is also the best. However, it also depends on the attacks.
Its disadvantage is its fragility. But here too, it can only be hit very effectively by 2 types.
3. Landorus (Therian Form)
- Type: Ground and Flying
- Attack value: 289
- Defense value: 179
- HP value: 205
- Maximum CP: 3922
What makes this Pokémon special? Landorus, just like Thundurus, belongs to the trio of “Forces of Nature”. It also has 2 forms, with the Therian Form being better.
With the right Ground-type attacks, Landorus is a better attacker than Groudon and would lead the list of Ground attackers.
4. Terrakion
- Type: Rock and Fighting
- Attack value: 260
- Defense value: 192
- HP value: 209
- Maximum CP: 3698
What makes this Pokémon special? Especially as a Fighting-type Pokémon, Terrakion could become interesting. With good attacks, it could replace Machamp as the top attacker.
As a Rock-type Pokémon, it could also not be bad, but with Rhydon and Tyranitar (in Gen 5 also Aerodactyl), it has strong competition.
5. Reshiram
- Type: Dragon and Fire
- Attack value: 275
- Defense value: 211
- HP value: 205
- Maximum CP: 4038
What makes this Pokémon special? Reshiram could become particularly interesting as a Fire attacker. It would then be the Fire Pokémon with the highest attack value in the game, and with good attacks, it could also become the top attacker there.
As a Dragon attacker, it is also not bad, but it has a lot of competition. One should hope for good Fire attacks here.
6. Zekrom
- Type: Dragon and Electric
- Attack value: 275
- Defense value: 211
- HP value: 205
- Maximum CP: 4038
What makes this Pokémon special? Zekrom has the same values as Reshiram but has Electric as its second type. If you ignore Thundurus, it could be the best Electric attacker in the game.
As a Dragon attacker, the same applies as for Reshiram. It is good, but has better competition. Here, one should hope for strong Electric attacks.
