Legendary birds
Legendary birds is the collective term used to refer to the trio of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. In the games, they are also known as the winged mirages.
Being the first legendary trio, they set the standards for future trios; that is, a sort of different-but-similar feel to them. Like the other trios later would, the legendary birds share a master in Lugia (in the anime, at least), but as well share a common trait, their Template:Type2 and their ability: Pressure. Their coloration is reminiscent of the first three Pokémon games the global audience got, Red, Blue, and Yellow, and their primary types influenced those of the next known trio, the legendary beasts.
Their English names are related, as the last syllable of each of their names is Spanish for one, two, and three, in the order they appear in the Pokédex.
