pokemon-sixth-generationpokemon-x-y

So I'm pretty sure there's at least 2, one for both X & Y. Much like other iterations of the other Pokemon games, are there other Legendaries? How many legendaries, and what are their names?

Best Answer

There are 3 Kalos (Generation VI) legendary Pokémon, and 4 Kanto (Generation I) legendary Pokémon available in Pokemon X & Y.

Kalos Legendaries

Kanto Legendaries

  • #144 Articuno / #145 Zapdos / #146 Moltres
    • Randomly encountered wandering after defeating the Elite 4.
    • You can only encounter one, which is dependent on which starter Pokemon you chose:
      1. Chespin -> Articuno
      2. Fennekin -> Zapdos
      3. Froakie -> Moltres
    • They will flee automatically 12 times when you encounter them, after which they will go to the Sea Spirit's Den where you can finally battle them. Source.
  • #150 Mewtwo
    • Available after the Elite 4, in the cave in Pokemon Village:

      After defeating the Elite Four, a man will stop blocking a cave within the Pokémon Village. In this cave, you will find nothing but a solitary Mewtwo with its back against the door. Interact with it and a cutscene will occur where it notices you and attacks. After defeating it, you will receive the Mewtwonite X or Y item depending on your version. - Source
