Nowhere has Pokemon more clearly represented the two sides of the Legendary Pokemon coin than in Scarlet and Violet's DLC
A) The powerful hero of legend, renowned for strength and skill but nothing altogether godly or magical
B) The mythical beast containing unknown powers often beyond human comprehension and trapped in a mortal body with definable skills
You guys think I'm joking, but these are literally the two defining classes of Legendary since the very beginning, Gens 1 and 2.
Gen 1 had Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, three Pokemon famous for being Strong but not really having any specific ties to anything crazy.
And then they had Mewtwo, a mysterious and terrifying beast made from man's folly, a skilled brawler and psionic force, but definitely not any sort of biblical or deific being, more like a cryptid.
And then in Gen 2, completely opposite to Gen 1, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune are these famous land-wide beasts capable of summoning volcanos from the ground and purify waters with a touch, like gods made manifest.
And lastly, the legendary duo for this game, Ho-Oh and Lugia, are immense creatures that blot out the sun, casting massive hurricanes and resting in the deep sea or dispensing everlasting happiness and reviving those who are struck by tragedy, like biblical figures given flesh (and wings).
All I'm trying to say is:
My favorite trend in Pokemon is when they cover both sides of the legendary spectrum, the magical creature beyond a mortal's capabilities and the fantastical warrior performing at the zenith of their phylogeny's capabilities.
