>Pokémon S/M Pokédex >gives holographic backgrounds to

>>31523261
Fun Fact: Manaphy has a holographic frame, but Phione does not. A continuation of GF's fuckery.

It means you, like most of the fanbase, are overthinking things.

>>31523288
Maybe you're underthinking things.

>>31523261
what entries do they even got for Bank National Dex
are they recycled
do they even exist?

>>31523306
Recycled yes, but existent nonetheless.

Ffs I tought we all agreed that they are indeed Legendary, but just in a subcategory (Sublegendary).

>>31523327
The green background the Guardians share with Type: Null and the Ultra Beasts shook that up a little.

>>31523338

>"No Legendary or Mythical Pokémon allowed."
>except Type: Null, Silvally, the Island Guardians, and the UBs of course

>>31523268
Which is strange, as phione is defined as legendary (or so I saw from the last datamine list).
>>31523261
They are called sub-legendaries in the game's code, along with all the previous lesser legends like the genies and regis.

>>31523430
The genies and regis are called sub-legendaries in the code as well?

>>31523443
Yes, most non-mascot/event ones are regarded as such in the game.

>>31523443
They are all grouped in the same category, so yes.

it means the category is for box legendaries or pokemon in trios with box legendaries (essentially, pokemon who SHOULD be box legendaries but ended up not being, or aren't yet)

not hard to understand. mewtwo isn't a box legendary

>>31523462
>>31523467
Well then, that's all the convincing I need to finally go catch them. I've been sitting around trying to figure out if I should catch them in Premier Balls or not.

>>31523443
Were type:null, silvally, and the ultra beasts in that group as well? Or phione?

>>31523561
Not him but UBs, Silvally, and TN are in the sublegendary category. Phione is in the legendary category, likely due to it being event only.

>>31523566
Very interesting, thanks for the info. Any idea if there's a link to a dump somewhere?

>Phione and Mewtwo didn't get shiny things
Get your shit together Game Freak, God.

Legendary tiers (includes Ultra Beasts and guardian deities)

Mythical (not required for Pokédex completion or allowed in Battle Tower/Frontier/Subway/Maison/Tree)

Ho-Oh and Lugia could maybe be considered Mythical from Ruby/Sapphire up to Platinum, while Deoxys may no longer be Mythical since ORAS made it readily available.

>>31523604
I remember some anon posting the list he got from it in a thread just like this one sec.
>>31523621
Isn't Mythical and Legendary regarded as the same status in game? The only time the distinction is made is in external media like Pokemon.com, the store, news, etc.

>>31523604
>>31523687
This was the post with the list, and it also links to a thread just like this one.
>>31488741

>>31523687
Mythical Pokémon aren't required for Pokédex completion. You can get the diploma without having any of them registered, and the Alola Pokédex can be at 100% without Magearna or Marshadow.

>>31523717
yes but they have the same status (e.g. magearna is considered a legendary in the game regardless of need for the dex).

>Pokemon not from Alola have no national dex entry under Sun/Moon. Not even a copy paste from the older gens at least.
>Megas not in Alola get no mega dex enteries under any game
Fucking lazy as fuck GF
