It's gender ratio is 50% male and 50% female.
Terapagos is so cute, he really does give a different vibe to all those others.
>>58824109>CalyrexThis guy will be getting his legends game if leaks are to be believed.
>>58824109>Necrozma >The first to start the whole "The reason why the gimmick exist in the first place" That was Yvelta/Xerneas and mega evolution
>>58824126>he>50% female
>>58824371>>58824371Yes anon. He. Terapagos as a species has a 50/50 Gender Ratio. But the only one who exists and has been made obtainable is Male. He is the the only one so far.
Rayquaza mogs them all
>>58824109>Necrozma >The first to start the whole "The reason why the gimmick exist in the first place"That's the XYZ trio.
>>58824109>Eternatus>Calyrex>Terapagosnot third legendaries retarded patternfag
>>58824484Necrozma either. Solgaleo and Lunala evolve from Cosmog and Cosmoem. Necrozma is unrelated outside of technically being an Ultra Beast and being their natural predator.Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina were created by ArceusKyurem was the husk of the original dragon that was once Reshiram and ZekromGroudon, Kyogre, and Groudon all formed naturally over the same time as living embodiments of natural power in the land, sea, and sky, respectively.Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde are slightly less related as concepts, being life, destruction, and balance. Xerneas and Yveltal are close enough, but Zygarde has been shown to be balance for the environment in general and has appeared in other regions completely unrelated to Xerneas and Yveltal.
>>58824484(((You)))
>>58824250>>58824479I forgot that Z-A fully confirm it. I remember that XY and ORAS was giving conflicting evidence on where it came from.
>>58824899ORAS tells you mega stones are formed from the living energy of the nature that was more abundant in old times, Hoenn just has mega stones because it's so often hit by meteors the ones that hit the land in the past got charged with the energy of nature. Rayquaza's own fuel for mega evolution is a meteor that slowly mutates into a mega stone as the story progress, and Wally's own cousin confirms the energy released in the battle with Groudon/Kyogre is what created the galladite that Wally uses against you (and the gardevoirite she gives you).Mega evolution has always been depicted as the power of life, which has always been what Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde manage.
>>58824502>Groudon, Kyogre, and GroudonRetarded Groudon poster
>>58824109Calyrex is not third legendary, it's bonus legendary, like Heatran and Latio/as.
>>58825182Nope, legendaries are internally divided in two categories, sub-legendary and legendary, the first one is for minor legends like Regigigas, Latias, Latios, Urshifu, Ogerpon, Silvally... And the pure "legendary" pokemon are the proper big legendaries of each region, which does include that ugly hare with a giant tumor head>Mewtwo>Lugia>Ho-Oh>Kyogre>Groudon>Rayquaza>Dialga>Palkia>Giratina>Zekrom>Reshiram>Kyurem>Xerneas>Yveltal>Zygarde>Cosmog>Cosmoem>Solgaleo>Lunala>Necrozma>Zacian>Zamazenta>Eternatus>Calyrex>Koraidon>Miraidon>TerapagosAll these are the pure legendaries. None of them is a "bonus" on the same tier as fucking Heatran
>>58825207mewtwo is my favorite third legendary
>>58825207Terapagos is not a pure legendary, it's gendered so more than one exists.
>>58825207Based
>>58824502Necrozma isn't a natural predator. It only behaves this way since it was shattered. Before that, it didn't need to steal light. Its original form was stable; it generated light on its own.Besides this, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma have a lot in common:>They are the only ones that can open Ultra Whormholes.>They share the same light energy (which is why Necrozma can parasitize them).>Necrozma is an embodiment of the photon in general, while the others are linked to the light of their celestial body and the day-night cycle.>They all have golden ornaments with white parts of their bodies.
>>58824984But that's what I'm referring too. This is given contradicting sources that, it's hard to tell which is true. That's why I gave Necrozma that fact about it being the one that started the gimmick trend since Gen 6 made the origin of mega evo unclear.
>>58825231Kanto doesn't have a duo for Mewtwo to be third. Galar does have a duo of knights to work for the crown.
>>58825244I guess Rayquaza stopped being a pure legendary after Z-A then since both Brendan and Paxton carry one. HGSS event makes it so one of the Sinnoh trio, either Dialga, Palkia or Giratina isn't a pure legendary either. Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo and Lunala? You literally see Nebby getting laid and having a child in the postgame, so that line is also not legendary. And the only game with Koraidon and Miraidon so far literally has the MC having one and fighting the AI's other one, so they aren't legendaries, either.How interesting must life be when you are this stupid.
>>58825297>but that's what I'm referring tooWhat exactly in my post is contradicting? XY makes mega stones come from life, ORAS makes mega stones come from life, Z-A makes mega stones come from life, that's the constant in all games.
>>58825411On who TRULY created mega stones. I understand what you're saying that life energy created mega stones, I'm referring to who create really created them. Xerneas and Yvetal or Groudon and Kyorge?
>>58824484>>58824502Necrozma, Eternatus and Terapagos are all thematically linked to their respective box legends (though I'll admit the link between Terapagos and Koraidon/Miraidon is the weakest, it still exists with Terapagos' power having essentially made Paradoxes possible and its ability in its Stellar form countering the Paradoxes. I'm fine with the third legend not literally being created from the same source or ruling over a similar force/domain or something as the box legends - limits storytelling potential.I'd love for Legends Galar to create some kind of thematic link between Calyrex and Zacian/Zamazenta. Galar is ripe for some Kalos-style deepest lore.
>>58825595>Necrozma, Eternatus and Terapagos are all thematically linked to their respective box legendsNo they aren’t.If “they fought one time” is a thematic link then by this dumbfuck logic Deoxys belongs in the same group as the weather trio. And Terapagos just literally isn’t linked to the Raidons period. It’s like claiming Hoopa is linked to literally every legendary.
>>58824109Zygarde has the most signature moves of any legendary, with 5.
>>58824109>zygardeis a fraud
>>58825538It's a natural phenomenon derived from life energy, no pokemon creates them *directly*. And you can't even begin to credit Groudon and Kyogre because if anything they were actively doing the opposite, keeping the energy from the cave of origin for themselves, and they were so thirsty because a pokemon that already experienced mega evolution (Rayquaza) BTFO'd a thousand years ago.Look at it like this, in France there's a guy developing irrigation, and in Japan there are two monsters drinking all the water from a river that would normally nourish the plants. When the guy's work is finished and once the monsters are stopped the plants will bear fruit in both cases. Which pokemon could be responsible of this then? I would say it's the pokemon where the world's water comes from, I don't care if that pokemon was present when the french guy developed irrigation or not, I don't care about the japanese monsters trying to drink all the water, and I don't care if a japanese snake regularly pisses on the soil around his habitat and eats the plants that grow there, if the difference here is only the presence of water, I would thank the pokemon in charge of water.
>>58824400>Giratina mogs them allftfy
Why are modern legendaries so fucking lame? SV's are probably most underwhelming of the bunch>inb4 somebody posts that fucking snail
>>58825207Its so fucking stupid that the bike lizards are somehow more "legendary" than Regigigas or Deoxys theyre literally just paradox Cylclizar theres nothing special or unique about them
>>58826165>Why are modern legendaries retarded edgy fanfic tier dogshit like my heckin childhood DS games?
>>58826170>time travel and parallel universes isnt fanfic tier bullshitCope
I like Miraidon and Koraidon; they have good designs. I just wish their storyline had gone beyond "Cyclizar from the distant past/future with shared DNA." Since they're Legendary Pokémon, I would have liked dialogue that differentiated them from other Paradox Pokémon. I don't know, like making them superior beings, kings, embodiments of nature in their eras, whatever that would give them something extra compared to the others.
>>58826168What are you talking about? They truly are legendary. It's what Heath completely wanted since his favorite pokemon is Cyclizar.
Its sad that kyurem still dosent have his own game
>>58826433Kyurem has two of his own games tho
>>58826173Palkia is not about parallel universes you stupid piece of shit!You had 20 years and you still don't fucking understand the concept of time and space?? Dumbass.
>>58824400>>58826160>Rayquaza and Giratina mog them all, then have an epic final battle to determine the final victor
>>58826223>superior beings, kingsLiterally what they are. Koraidon is called Winged King.
>>58827032Yes, but it's just a name. In my message, I was referring to a role, a little background on the subject, and that it applies to both Raidon
>>58826636>Palkia is not about parallel universes you stupid piece of shit!I'm talking about Terapagos you illiterate fuck. Also Palkia governs all forms of space, including parallel worlds.
>>58826223I liked the theory that theyre the only paradox mons capable of traveling between different points in time. Shame nothing came of that
>>58827139That could have been cool, yes. Unfortunately, they didn't do it; they're just treated like other Paradoxmon with only the title of "legendary" because they're much rarer and more powerful
>>58826168Deoxys isn't a legendary, dumbass. It's a mythical, which is actually more special. Yes, Deoxys is more special than Rayquaza, so is Shaymin, Meloetta or Volcanion.
>>58826433>it's sad that most boring looking """"""dragon"""""" doesn't have it's own gamethank God we are on the correct timeline
>>58827277legendary = mythical.We've had this discussion before.
>>58827371>all the voices in my head agree with this objectively incorrect statement!Nobody cares. Mythical =/= legendary
>>58827135That’s just the mythology, which the devs have said openly and in the leaks is just an exaggeration. Hoopa, Necrozma, even Colress have been shown to dimensionally displace different alternate universe Palkia. It’s just a Kaiju that can distort space, ultimately; it’s not truly the master of its supposed domain.
>>58827277>Deoxys isn't a legendary, dumbass. It's a mythicalMythicals are categorized as legendaries in the code and as of ORAS Deoxys is a legendary since it can be obtained through regular gameplay
>>58827491Except that's wrong, they are different. Right now all categories are>ultra-beast>paradox>sub-legendary>legendary>mythicalAnd Deoxys is still labelled as a mythical, not a legendary.>but you can get it from normal gameplay in this game!Yeah same about Keldeo, or Meloetta, or Marshadow, or Zeraora, or Meltan... they have been more generous with them lately but they haven't changed the category of these mythical pokemon.
>Ultra Necrozma was 1 trainer vs 1 mon>Eternamax Eternatus was 2 trainers and 2 legends vs 1 monIs Necrozma just that much weaker or are the galar trainers the ones who are weak?
>>58828364It's more of a difference of how much the Pokémon are really able to do lore-wise and to what extent in a specific situation they're holding back.
>>58828364>>58828372I just see it as the case of hardware limitations and Gamefreak being Gamefreak.
>>58828364It’s Gamefreak not caring about lore coherency.>star destroyer can be beaten by one dude>city destroyer needs two dudes and two dumb dogs
>>58828364I would say Galar is the weak one, Necrozma was a threat to entire universes while Eternatus only ever affected GalarThis is why no character from past games shows up in Galar
>>58828459They jack off Leon and that other pajeet so fucking much though, Jesus Christ
>>58828459>Necrozma was [FANFIC]
>>58828473>dude Necrozma has stolen light from countless worlds!!! It’s so strong!!!>jobs to humans with technology>jobs to its own prey and 4 mediocre sublegends>jobs to (You)lollmao
>>58824250No Rayquaza mega evolved in hoenn before any other Mon
>>58824109wait a second, youre telling me I can have both, a male and a female Terapagos? I thought it was set to always be male
>>58828964It is. The one you catch is always set to male, but on the game files, it have the gender ratio of 50%male and 50% female. It's speculated that they will release the female as a send off for the anime, based on Liko's Terapagos.
>>58824502retard
>>58824109> terapagos?which group is it part of?
>>58830303It's not apart of any group. It was, however, the reason why we have Paradox pokemon.
>>58830303>>58830710Are you trolling or just retarded?
>>58828364The galar duo were handicapped by using the jobber dogs
