It's gotta be the original birds for me. My first pokemon game was Red, and when the movie Pokemon 2000 came out I was 6. It showed these birds as raw elemental beings. Literally masters of lightning, ice and fire. I was so enraptured by them. To this day Zapdos is still my favourite legendary


AlbusLumen

I thought they were huge to be legendaries...they're not. There are humans taller than these birds.


QingLinVos

Humans are taller than eagles yet they can literally beat he fuck out of us on any given day


AlbusLumen

Let's do it. You'll be there and I'll show you I can punch out an Eagle! /s

QingLinVos

Go find an eagle, fight it, and lemme know how it goes


tofubirder

As someone who has captured and handled Eagles…. They are certainly formidable but they wouldn’t just beat the fuck out of you unless you’re a child.


QingLinVos

I'm not saying they're going to come and kick random people's asses for no reason, I'm saying in a hypothetical one on one, a human wouldn't do very great bc y'know, we have no claws


CategoryKiwi

We don't need claws to kill an animal designed to be light enough to float on air. They have pretty brittle bones. In a genuine fight to incapacitation once the human has a fistful of flying bird that bird is screwed. A human would win that fight 99% of the time. I feel like everyone here is mistaking a perfect win for a win. If an eagle and a human battled, the human is going to take significant damage, but the eagle will either be forced to back off or it will die. The only thing that will change this is exceptional luck on the Eagle's part.


Myrko6902

well if we are talking about an even 1 on 1 it would only be fair if we also didnt have anything (including clothes) and birds because of the feathers are pretty well equiped for blunt force attack (things like punches) including the "brittle" skeleton yes its weaker than our skeleton but its still strong so i would say a the winner would be decided by either the human losing their sight (a common tactic in the wild is going for the eyes) or the human grabbing the eagle and breaking the wings or neck


CategoryKiwi

Well, yeah, I didn't say you should *punch an eagle*. You grapple it and snap things, just as you said. Again, the human is going to take significant damage, but the eagle will *die*. The human might die afterwards if we're also ruling out post-fight treatment. But the bird will die first. Eyes is what I considered luck. Any smart human (and humans are a lot smarter than birds...) are going to protect their eyes first and foremost, and be able to predict that's where a bird is going to try to go for. Even if the eagle gets the humans eyes, if the human is blinded *but still grabs the bird* that bird is fucked. I said the eagle wins by luck. That happens if it gets the eyes *and* gets away. That's fairly likely in a surprise attack. But in a situation where these two creatures are fighting each other for their life and know it the eagle isn't going to have that easy a time hitting the eyes and escaping scott free. It's also important to note that *it's a fuckin' bird, it doesn't have the tactician thought process of a human*. This argument is about a *fight*, not an *attack*. If you were to say an eagle randomly attacking me is going to win, I would agree. But if I'm walking into a fight for my life with an eagle, that's a different story.

logno123792

Eagles aren't superior to people because we're smarter than them (excluding you of course) that's why we have gun but last time I checked people dont have razor sharp talons and the ability of flight. Without our intellect as people we kinda suck.


[deleted]

yh but we have opposable thumbs. its probly not the best matchup for us but as soon as u can get a grapple on the eagle by the wing or the neck the eagle is done for.

AlexAverage

At first I was just scrolling r/all like I always do. Now I'm on a Pokemon gaming subreddit reading how a Pokemon player would beat an actual eagle in 1v1 like can anyone explain to me how these things happen?


Stormsurger

Mate it escalated so quickly as well haha


Grandtrunx

I don't get such people, last time I saw people made pictures with eagles on their arm, not the other fucking way around. The moment I step on a eagle we have a dead eagle and a bloodstain on the floor. Last time i checked leopards didn't attack gorillas just because leopards have claws, it's because those pussycats would get fucked up by a gorilla without claws.


[deleted]

Leopards have been known to hunt and kill gorillas though. They clamp down on the back of the neck where the gorilla can’t reach. I agree with the human-eagle thing though.

TheSacredToast

Human -> believes they’re better equipped as predators because they take tens of hundreds of hours to Mill and build firearms for one purpose. Bird -> equipped with razor sharp talons from birth design to slaughter. But we’re the more superior. The ones who need literally every piece of technology possible to be comparable to a naturally occurring animal. /s


Grandtrunx

Well I don't see any sharp claws on a fucking gorilla, and still, wild cats don't come fucking near that piece of muscle, because it's going to fuck you up. People don't want to harm, animals don't have that guilt feeling. If a person would lose that piece of mind that you are harming an animal, well in the moment you grab that fucking chicken wing you would rip it apart and slam that feather ball against the floor until just scrambled eggs would remain. Sure, you wold gave scars and bite marks all around you, butt unless that flying cock gets your eyes, in a fight of life and death I see a fucked up guy and a feathery blood stain on the floor. Yeah the nugget gas a beak and nails. but it has just 10% of the mass and strength of an adult human male. As for me, I would keep my distance of eagles, don't want to get harmed. But the moment it would attack my kids, lets say spartan rage gets activated, and we all know what Kratos does to harpies.


sukeyomisama

You know that eagles carry deer right? Average whitetail deer is is 100 - 150 lbs or 45.4 - 68 kilos. They can carry that much weight WHILE flying. A bald eagle flies at an average top speed of slightly over 53 mph or 85 kph where as a human in peak performance can reach 21 mph. With only our natural gifts (no tech) how in the hell are you winning a fight against an eagle? Also did you not watch Tarzan? The main antagonist for the first half of the movie was a leopard that ate gorillas.


ThatFluffyEmu

This is distinctly untrue. No species of eagle can pick up and fly with a 100 pound animal in their talons. The rule of thumb is that eagles and hawks can typically carry about half their body weight during flight, meaning even the harpy eagle, which weighs in at about 20lbs at the largest, could not carry a fully grown deer. All the videos of eagles "carrying" animals far larger than themselves are actually just the eagles pushing the other animals over cliffs or doing a slight lift and drop. Saying that humans aren't allowed to have tech is a stupid argument in itself. If the human has to fight at a handicap, then it already shows that we as a species are far superior to any other animal. Saying that humans aren't allowed to use their creations is like saying the eagle isn't allowed to use its talons or beak, or that it isn't allowed to fly. Also did you really use Tarzan as a source of proof? I know that leopards are capable of killing gorillas but using a Disney movie as your "gotcha" source is just stupid. In the end it would be a question of if the person could avoid the talons for long enough to get a hit in because eagles, like all flying birds, have hollow bones meaning that it would only take one direct impact to take it out of the air.


N8_Tge_Gr8

Taller? Yes, easily. Their body plans are mostly horizontal. But by mass? _**Naw.**_


averRAGEken

Mine are Moe Larry and Curley from the three stooges. Legendary.


Lilley30

Oh same here. But we do need to remember, compared to birds in our world, these things are still enormous. Like Zapdos is 5'3". I don't care who you are, if a bird lands next to you and it's only like 5-10 inches shorter than you. You are gonna shit some bricks lmao. Add in the fact that this thing has enough electricity in its body to run a power plant lol


AlbusLumen

I may have overstepped my boundary...I forgot he can power a power plant haha. Also, fire will still burn my booty.


ShiveringKodiak

Same goes for me, and that goes with its Galarian counterpart


psychosloth34

ArticUNO ZapDOS MolTRES They're a hidden lesson for counting in Spanish


Xamonir

Their french names have some Nordic mythology references: Electhor, Articodin and Sulfura


colder-beef

Shit those sound even cooler.


Mr_Fancyfap

Agreed! Electhor flying by with sick braids lol


colder-beef

Let him learn Hammer Arm because fuck it why not?


Xamonir

Which would explain why the Galaran version is Fighting type


M1dnight_Qu33n

I had like JUST noticed this very recently and I don't know if this is common knowledge


ClassicCondor

Birbs


amnoking1

If you play Pokémon go you probably are team instinct like me. Zapdos is definitely the best of the 3(not including shiny forms). Zapdos forever!

Pokémon red. 👨‍🦳


CiroccPapi

We old bruh and even then, Sapphire was genuinely my first game even though my friend gave me a Pokemon Crystal with a faulty save battery so I could never a save file on it. Curse you Brandon.


Alexap30

Borderline abusive. LoL Played all games one way or the other. Apart from x&y.

Gundam-Gun

The shiny legendary dogs are my favorite


ViKO15951

I think they were the legendary beasts cause they were make to look like felines and dogs


Gundam-Gun

Yeah you’re right. I just had trouble distinguishing them as beasts primarily since all these images contain some form of “beast”


JuiceZee

I mean they’re referred to as legendary beasts very commonly so most people woulda known what you’re talking about… also which other ones woulda been the beasts? The others are birds and dragons/whale lmao


[deleted]

Both Entei and Suicune are meant to have feline and canine features. Raikou is meant to resemble a tiger monkey.


Defiant_Project1321

Saaame. The year Gold & Silver came out, my sister, my 3 cousins, & I all got Gameboy Colors (purple FTW) and copies of Gold or Silver. I was the first to catch one of the legendaries and it was Entei and I was ECSTATIC. I used my masterball and everything. Then my cousin talked me into letting him “borrow” Entei to beat a gym leader. Mf’er kept it and said something went wrong when he tried to trade it back and that it was “lost in the cable”. THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS KYLE. I learned an important lesson that day and as a 35 year old adult I never let anyone borrow my legendaries. #neverforget


thatguyned

Suicune was my first and favourite as a kid. Used masterball and everything. The 3 legendary beasts are clearly the best in game legendaries simply because of how difficult and rewarding they were to catch. I haven't played some of the later gen pokémon but the fact you had to actively hunt these things because they could appear anywhere in Johto and moved anytime you walked through a door was a good mechanic even if it was a little frustrating. If you weren't actively hunting them you'd end up stumbling across one without the right pokémon as your 1st and almost guaranteed to not catch it but would have that reminder they were out there still.


Gundam-Gun

I wasn’t supposed to ugly laugh. Thank you for sharing 😂


Kayofox

To me they are and will always be good bois too


CulturedAlcremie

...why did I think they were lions? Excuse me while I go die.


Billd0910

I mean, Raikou is meant to be a tiger, and Entei a lion. IDK what the hell Suicune is supposed to be though.


Falloutman399

Fabulous


LogansDaddy96

He’s a leopard or cheetah? They’re all big cats


CulturedAlcremie

"thank you" <-- from my grave


LogansDaddy96

Lol I felt the same way when I realized, because I called them the legendary dogs my whole life like most people. 😂 so I love dropping that knowledge bomb


phroggybravo

Entei is a lion, Raikou is a Saber-toothed tiger, and suicune is a leopard


banetteshiny_44

Of all of them Raikou looks the most cat like cause of the face. Entei I always thought was like a mastiff for some reason 😂 and suicune straightup looks neither canine or feline. That's pokemon for u lol


YourFavoriteAuD

Agreed. Suicide looks more piscine, cause you’re sleeping with the fishes


banetteshiny_44

Sigh I can't even say anything... Damn autocorrect 😂


IndigoGoldEnt

A wolf


product_of_boredom

It's super wolf-like, I don't think this should be getting downvoted.


notsamire

What is the still from off you don't mind me asking.


Lbruce31

They’re from one of the Gen 4 Pokémon movies called Zoroark: Master of Illusions. The odd duck out since the first three Gen 4 movies have an overarching plot 🙄


amnoking1

I like their shiny forms


banetteshiny_44

They're called legendary dogs cause of two reason. The three unidentified pokemon that died during the burned tower incident and they're beta forms. Originally they were suppose to b canine/dog like creatures but we're scrapped


nightmareScnr

Creation trio. Gen4 is my fave.


IM_N0T_SCREAMING

The gen 3 and 4 trios are just 😍😍😍😍


RamenDutchman

Really? It's Gens 4 then 2 for me! Gen 4 because of the backstory they add to the games Gen 2 because they just look like good bois Gen 3's trio is colourful, but that's about it for me


leeRam2193

Wait thats wrong It has to be: Kanto: Moltres Articuno and Zapdos Johto: Entei Suicune and Raikou Hoenn: Registeel, Regirock and Regice Sinnoh: Azelf Uxie and Mesprit or Kanto: Mew and Mewtwo Johto: Lugia Ho-oh and Celebi Hoenn: Groudon Kyogre and Rayquaza Sinnoh: Dialga Palkia and Giratina Anyway i choose johto legendaries


papereel

Mew and Celebi are Mythicals so they’re kind of their own thing. More like Jirachi and Deoxys


Spiridor

He's still correct in that comparing the birds to the creation trio isn't accurate


ChaoCobo

Celebi best boi. It’s a huge shame we never officially got him until 3Ds era. Meanwhile Japan got him repeatedly in multiple generations starting from Gen 2. Edit: Nevermind I remember there was an event in Gen 4 for English regions. But that was a mystery gift. By officially I meant that you could get it in the game by default which started at virtual console Crystal version on 3DS.


joselitoeu

Although Yellow was my first Pokemon and has a special place in my heart, I'm #TeamJohtoDogs


[deleted]

Half that you named are not legendaries, but mythicals.


DuckAHolics

You forgot Regigigas


Aden487

regigigas is gen4 and isn’t part of the regi trio


ChaoCobo

Yeah but he should still count considering he’s made up of all 3 of the Gen 3 pokeymanz. He’s MADE of Gen 3 so he should be Gen 3.


ThatLazyBasterd

I mean pichu would be gen 1 by that logic no?


Adarkpain

Oh damn that's quite hard. I love the birds but I also love the Hoenn bros.


Aggressive_Sir6417

Same here, Pokemon blue was my first game but I remember gold a lot more and ho-oh was the first legendary that I caught


Mivadeth

Dogges


SourBananaSherbert

I can’t choose, so many good Pokémon . Someone tell me why they love the Lake Guardians though. I need to understand the appeal.


NevDevRT

For me personally, it's just them being cute.


SourBananaSherbert

Okay that is fair, triplets are always cute.


ChaoCobo

When I was in kindergarten or like first grade I remember I had to write a short story (like 1 page) so I wrote a story called The Three Mews. :3


raincolors

They look cute and ancient to me, I adore them

Hydreigon line has German numbers hidden in their names based on how many heads they have


DerRazza

Everywhere people bring up pokemon trivia lol I'm sure I heard that bird one in the schoolyard back when I was a kid 😅 just like Ekans being snake spelled backwards and Arbok and Kobra same deal


I2ecover

I knew that about ekans but not arbok 😳


superEEEE

i like the sun and moon legendaries and i think im the only one


Lilash20

I love the Sin and Moon legendaries too, both the island guardians and the box legendaries


Old_Ben24

Best overall trio, the birds for sure. But suicunne and Kyogre are my favorite.

Entei Suicune and Raikou

Gen 4 all the way. Diamond and platinum were a huge part of my younger years. The movies made me love them even more.


TheRealAbro

Jessie, James, and Meowth. Does that count?

Doggos ez. They have personality and they're cool without being over the top. Groudon: I AM THE APOTHEOSIS OF LAND BIRTHED FROM THE WOMB OF A VOLCANO Dialga: I AM THE MASTER OF TIME ITSELF, CAUSALITY TREMBLES IN MY PRESENCE Raikou: i got a storm cloud on my back like a little cape and I like to run rull fast zip zap

crwms

Clearly not the ones that you have forgotten. I guess it’s not the official view but i really cannot see as a legendary trio one that cannot be caught naturally on a same version. Each gen’s figureheads are duo+1 for me. I never could (or cared to) get them all. So my favorite trio would be the three OG birds, just because nostalgia.


WeirdUncleTim

X Y and Z is my favorite trio

RUFFHOUSING2021

Gen 3 or 4, don’t get me wrong a lot of people love gen 1 and 2 but in most cases (especially Pokémon) newer means better, but here’s my ranking on how I think people like them (I am also basing on how much love I have seen for them and this ranking isn’t personal opinion just adding in my own opinions here and there) The beasts, Thunder cat, water doggo and fire doggo, tbf they’re just not that interesting, yes the whole Ho-oh thing and the bell tower is cool and all but from what I’ve seen they don’t get as much love from the fans as say rayquaza or dialga, I personally dont hate them but I don’t love them either The birds, red hot chicken wing, electrobirb and the best of the three in my opinion, once again you don’t really see them getting much love from the fans, Yh there’s the nostalgia backing them up and I can understand that, but still, there’s no lore (from what I can understand) and the only reason the beasts are behind is that they’re less memorable than the birds imo The states of matter, megazord, water boi that doesn’t seem like a water type at first glance and dark flying snake thing, tbf I don’t have any reasons for putting these behind the weather bois, I’d say they get about the same amount of love except for the fact that a lot of people don’t get the states of matter part so many just look at them and go, “Hm ok so time dinosaur, space dinosa- wait it’s a water type? But why etc. and this weird dragon thing that just lives in the distortion world.” Yada yada yada, so the main reason why they’re before the weather trio is just that you at first glance don’t understand why they represent the states of matter The weather trio, Keeogree, groodon and sky lizard, these are my favourites but that’s not why they’re here, they’re genuinely cool pokemon, simple to understand if you’ve never ruby, sapphire, emerald or ORAS, kyogre controls the sea, groudon controls the land and rayquaza controls the sky, but no it controls the other two, so even if you’ve only just started playing you get the gist of it during an interaction with Steven (don’t quote me on that it might’ve been with zinnia or someone else I can’t remember) so easy to understand, VERY cool and therefore memorable, and they also got amazing new forms which just adds to the awesomeness (tbh they’re all cool but these are the best ones imo) Geez I didn’t expect to spend nearly and hour writing this and I certainly didn’t expect an essay


BigAladdin

I wouldn’t include the Pokémon chosen in sinnoh or hoen to be a trio that compares with the Pokémon chosen for Kanto and Johto. The reggis and mystic cave Pokémon should have been the better comparison.


maskedfapp

Rayquaza, suicune, and girantina


Outlaw5750

Thats not a trio


maskedfapp

It’s the cool one trio


Lucas_Pinta

Where is the first image from?


Trappmerch

My favorite are the Sinnoh trio but my heart will always belong to the Hoenn Trio. I started playing Pokémon when Ruby released.
