Some are so rarely seen that people are unsure if they really exist, spurring scientists to do research. No Mythical Pokémon can be found under normal conditions; the only way to obtain these Pokémon is for the player to participate in "Pokémon events" commonly hosted by Nintendo around the world.

In the spinoff ''[[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]'', Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.

{{nihongo|[[Celebi]]|セレビィ|Serebyi}} has been referred to as "new Mew" although Celebi and Mew have no relationship with each other. Although mythical, Celebi is a legendary Pokémon which mainly resides at the [[Ilex Forest]] west of [[Azalea Town]]. This Pokémon is more an event Pokémon, which means it can only be obtained through events. Celebi was around the time of the release of the Generation II video games called as the most rarest Pokémon due to the fact that it was only available for one event which was in Japan exclusive for Pokémon Crystal. Now known, Celebi acts more as a chain to unlock other events in different video games. In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] after obtaining a Celebi through an event, it will let the player travel through time to show the past between [[Silver (game)|Silver]] and Giovanni which contains the actual hate of Silver against Team Rocket and his tough attitude. In [[Pokémon Black and White]] it can let you obtain [[Zorua]] if you transfer Celebi from HeartGold and SoulSilver through Pokémon Black and Pokémon White. Furthermore, it is also known to be the mysterious Pokémon hidden in the mysterious [[GS Ball]]. Celebi also makes an appearance in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. A shiny Celebi makes an appearance in Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness as a temporary part of the team during the storyline. A free Celebi was given to players who used [[Pokémon Bank]] before September 30, 2014. Another was given during the Pokémon 20th Anniversary giveaways during the month of March over Wi-Fi.

In the games, it can be found through an event in which the player receives a member card to the mysterious inn in Canalave City, which is usually locked. On entry, the player is greeted by a man who says "Greetings [Name], we have a reservation for you. Right this way." and he puts you to sleep on the bed there. The player then appears in a dream in which you are on New Moon Island next to Full Moon Island. Here you will encounter Darkrai. When you interact with it, you'll battle it and you can catch it.

{{nihongo|[[Arceus]]|アルセウス|Aruseusu}} is a Normal-type Alpha Pokémon known as the creator of the Sinnoh region and supposedly also the creator of the entire Pokémon world. Arceus is also known as the creator of the lake guardians; Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit. Also, Arceus is said to have created the Crown Dragon Trio; Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. Therefore, Arceus is the only Legendary Trio Leader of multiple trios. Arceus has the power to recreate any of these Pokémon if anything were to happen to the original ones. Arceus signature move is [[Judgment]], and it is the only non-dragon type Pokémon (other than Smeargle with sketch) to be able to learn [[Draco Meteor]], although it must be holding a Draco Plate to do so. It is known that Arceus is the 5th most powerful Pokémon of them all (competitively) and the first Pokémon that has a variety of types due to the plates it holds. The birth of Arceus was when it hatched from an egg out of a portal and it has prospered from then. Arceus is an event Pokémon by obtaining the Azure Flute. Arceus can be encountered at the [[Hall of Origin]] during an event. To encounter Arceus during an event, one must go to Spear Pillar at the top of Mt. Coronet. Once there, the Azure Flute will play, causing stairs to appear. By taking these stairs, one can enter the Hall of Origin. Arceus appears at level 80. Once Arceus is captured or defeated, one cannot visit the Hall of Origin again. It was distributed through a serial code given away during the month of August for the Pokémon 20th Anniversary giveaways.

For the similar group of non-event-exclusive Pokémon, see Legendary Pokémon.
Mythical Pokémon

Mythical Pokémon from Generations 1-8.

Mythical Pokémon (Japanese: 幻のポケモン, Hepburn: Maboroshi no Pokémon) or event-exclusive Pokémon, less commonly known as mirage Pokémon, are a special group of Pokémon that are rarely seen by anyone in the world of Pokémon. Some are so rarely seen that people are unsure if they really exist, spurring scientists to do research. Mythical Pokémon were once considered part of Legendary Pokémon outside of the Japanese media, until Generation V. In the spinoff Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Mythical Pokémon are referred to as rare Pokémon. Mythical Pokémon are rarely obtainable through non-event methods. For a comprehensive list of such instances, check the Trivia section of this page.

Generation I

Mew

151Mew

Mew

Mew, also known as the "Ancestor of all Pokémon," is considered the rarest Pokémon of all. It is a kind and powerful being that in the movie Mewtwo Strikes Back saves Ash and all the other Trainers invited to New Island.

In the games, Mew is only ever mentioned in journals on Cinnabar Island, where it was stated that Mew had given birth to Mewtwo.

It was obtainable in the 20th Anniversary in February through a special code.

In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl, if you have a copy of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Let's Go, Eevee! a Female in Floaroma Town will give you a Mew.

If you have My Pokémon Ranch and Pokémon Diamond or Pearl, you can get a Mew by transferring 999 Pokémon + 1 egg from Pokémon Diamond or Pearl to My Pokémon Ranch.

Celebi

251Celebi

Celebi

Celebi (Japanese: セレビィ, Hepburn: Serebyi) has been referred to as "new Mew" although Celebi and Mew have no relationship with each other. Although mythical, Celebi is a legendary Pokémon who mainly resides at the Ilex Forest west of Azalea Town. This Pokémon was more of an event Pokémon, which means it could only be obtained through events. Celebi was, around the time of the release of the Generation II video games, called the rarest Pokémon due to the fact that it was only available for one event which was in Japan exclusive for Pokémon Crystal.

Now known, Celebi acts as a chain to unlock other events in different video games. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver after obtaining a Celebi through an event, it will let the player travel through time to show the past between Silver and Giovanni which contains the actual hate of Silver against Team Rocket and his tough attitude. In Pokémon Black and White, it can let you obtain Zorua if you transfer Celebi from HeartGold and SoulSilver through Pokémon Black and Pokémon White. Furthermore, it is also known to be the mysterious Pokémon hidden in the mysterious GS Ball.

Celebi also makes an appearance in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. A shiny Celebi makes an appearance in Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness as a temporary part of the team during the storyline. A free Celebi was given to players who used Pokémon Bank before September 30, 2014. Another was given during the Pokémon 20th Anniversary giveaways during the month of March over Wi-Fi.

Celebi may still be obtained in the 3DS Virtual Console release of Pokémon Crystal.

Arceus is also known as the creator of the lake guardians; Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit. Also, Arceus is said to have created the Crown Dragon Trio; Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Therefore, Arceus is the only Legendary Trio Leader of multiple trios. Arceus has the power to recreate any of these Pokémon if anything were to happen to the original ones.

Arceus' signature move is Judgment, and it is the only non-dragon type Pokémon (other than Smeargle with sketch) to be able to learn Draco Meteor, although it must be holding a Draco Plate to do so. It is known that Arceus is the 5th most powerful Pokémon of them all (competitively) and the first Pokémon that has a variety of types due to the plates it holds. The birth of Arceus was when it hatched from an egg out of a portal and it has prospered from then.

Arceus is an event Pokémon by obtaining the Azure Flute. Arceus can be encountered at the Hall of Origin during an event. To encounter Arceus during an event, one must go to Spear Pillar at the top of Mt. Coronet. Once there, the Azure Flute will play, causing stairs to appear.

Victini

Victini, the Victory Pokémon. Victini is considered a symbol of victory for too many people, specifically Trainers. In Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, the Liberty Garden has become a museum of sorts, and many of its visitors know about Victini and Team Plasma's attempt at misusing it. Victini's escape from them has provided a real paradigm shift to most of the Unova region. It is that a Rich man protected Victini from Team Plasma, who wanted to capture and use the Pokémon. This showed that there are people who protect Pokémon and those who mistreat them.

It was available through several events, the latest of which, ended August 24, 2016, in which it was given away for Pokémon's 20th Anniversary giveaways during the month of August over Wi-Fi. The events for Japan in 2010, Australia, Europe, and North America in 2011 would give you the Liberty Pass which enables traveling to Liberty Garden while all the other will allow you to receive Victini directly through Wi-Fi. Victini was originally designed for Generation IV but was held back. Victini is the only legitimate Pokémon with the Pokédex number of #000 (Unova Pokédex number, not the national number).
