Legendary trio
A Legendary trio is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related Legendary Pokémon. Legendary trios can be subdivided into two tiers: normal trios and Special trios. Normal trios, which are always the first Legendary Pokémon that appear in any Pokédex order, are allowed into the many Battle Towers and other battle facilities. They are also the only Pokémon with base stat totals of 580, besides the Swords of Justice. Special trios, whose name comes from the fact that all of them are Special Pokémon, are not allowed in the Battle Tower and are found closer to the end of the Pokédex in the generation of their release.
Members of Legendary trios often, but not always, share at least one type, an Ability, and/or a base stat total.
The term fell into official usage from the Shiny Legendary beasts' Wonder Cards.

Trivia
- Some of the Legendary trios have unique distinctions:
- The lake guardians are the only trio whose members are all the same type. However, many other trios share types within the group.
- The legendary titans were introduced as a legendary trio during Generation III until the introduction of Regieleki and Regidrago in Generation VIII. This makes them the only trio to have gained new members after their introduction.
- The legendary birds are the first legendary trio to have regional forms.
- The light trio is the only legendary trio to have a evolutionary line for two of its members.
