Index - Mythicals

Mythical Pokemon are Pokemon exclusive to events, and the bane of every person after a Living Dex

This Index is a means to make it easier

If you wanted a completed Living Dex as of Gen VI, you would need at minimum, 15 mythicals. Thankfully, one is now even catchable in game

15 isn't too bad, but what about if you wanted a completed PC Stable Living Form Dex?

You would then need:

1 Mew
1 Celebi
1 Jirachi
4 Deoxys
1 Manaphy
1 Darkrai
1 Shaymin
18 Arceus
1 Victini
2 Keldeo
1 Meloetta
5 Genesect
1 Diancie
1 Hoopa
1 Volcanion

40 Mythicals total

If you wanted a complete, PC Unstable Living Form Dex, you would need:

1 Mew
1 Celebi
1 Jirachi
4 Deoxys
1 Manaphy
1 Darkrai
2 Shaymin
18 Arceus
1 Victini
2 Keldeo
2 Meloetta
5 Genesect
2 Diancie
2 Hoopa
1 Volcanion

44 Mythicals total

Now say you wanted a living dex in a different generation? PC Stable? All Forms?

Gen I
1 Minimum
1 PC Stable
1 All Forms

Gen II
2 Minimum
2 PC Stable
2 All Forms

Gen III
4 Minimum
4/7 PC Stable*
7 All Forms

Gen IV
8 Minimum
27 PC Stable
28 All Forms

Gen V
12 Minimum
37 PC Stable
39 All Forms

Gen VI
15 Minimum
40 PC Stable
44 All Forms

*Deoxys in Gen III was a bit of an odd duck - Its forms are technically PC Stable, but it had to be traded to a different game to change forms. Normal on Ruby, Sapphire, Colosseum, and Gale of Darkness, Attack on Fire Red, Defense on Leaf Green, and Speed on Emerald. Therefore, to have all at once, you would need to spread your living dex across four different games



Definitely a challenge to get all of these, especially with events being long over. However, for as long as the series has existed, so too have glitches and other interesting ways to get these mythical Pokemon

*Glitzer Popping is a glitch in Emerald that lets you rewrite Pokemon as you see fit, and even some game variables. Unfortunately, Mew and Deoxys in Gen III have a form of DRM built in - They cannot, to my knowledge, be traded off of Emerald or transferred to Gen IV games. Celebi and Jirachi do not share this limitation

**Finding a Ranger game without a claimed Manaphy is difficult at best, so unfortunately this method is of limited use
