Tapu 100% legendaries?

[Metbert1212]

Goodmorning, I wanted to talk about a detail I noticed, the Tapu are put in the Legendary category.
Now I watched the video on YouTube, but I think that it can't be a solid proof... that "legendary"may simply mean "that appear in the legends" (similar to Arcanine) rather then being part of the groups of Moltres, Kyogre, Lunala ecc... especially considering that in S/M the pokedex doesn't put them in the Legendary/Mythical category.

So I suggest to create a new sub-category similar to the Mythical with the pokèmons of that green group (Tapus,UB, Silvally and Type:Null).

I assume this is about info on Bulbapedia, so moved the thread to the Bulbawiki section.

In Pokémon Ga-Olé, their disks are labeled でんせつ densetsu as with all other Legendary Pokémon (and not Silvally and Type: Null). Japanese anime episode summaries have also called them Legendary.

In addition, the video about the Shiny Tapu Koko distribution explicitly call it Legendary in English:

Plus they (and the UBs) are only 10 BST points behind comapred to the likes of Moltres or Latias. Its not as glaring a difference as say, Phione. (also unlike Phione but like actual Legendaries, you get a finite number per game)

Good thing there's not already a category for that....

Arcanine can be bred and can be found commonly in the wild. The Tapus are all unbreedable and can only be obtained once per game-a trait most other legendary Pokemon also share.

Therefore the Tapus, Type: Null, and Silvally are all Legendary Pokémon.
