Legendary Pokémon

Legendary Pokémon are Pokémon that are characterized by their rarity and their high base stat totals. They are very difficult to obtain because of their difficulty to locate, high levels, and low catch rates.

The Legendary Pokémon currently in Pixelmon include:

Spawning

Most Legendary Pokémon have a 30% chance of spawning every 2 minutes and 30 seconds if it is possible for them to spawn. A message will be broadcast when one of them spawns. It is possible for more than one of each Legendary to spawn in a world, although each individual Legendary has an 80 minute delay after spawning before the same Legendary has a chance to spawn again.

Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres spawn when a fully-charged orb that matches their type (orb of frozen souls, orb of static souls, orb of fiery souls) is placed in the centerpiece of their respective shrines. Each type of shrine spawns very rarely in certain biomes. An orb can be charged by having it in the player's inventory while defeating 375 Pokémon; these Pokémon do not have to match the orb's type.

Mewtwo can be obtained by successfully cloning a Mew in a cloning machine.
