Which Poison-Type Pokémon Are Legendary?

Compare the four naturally Poison-type Legendary species from Generations I–IX, Mythical and Ultra Beast distinctions, and Silvally’s type-changing exception.

Which Pokémon count?

Eternatus, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti are Legendary Pokémon with Poison in their usual typing. Pecharunt is Poison-type too, but it is Mythical; Naganadel belongs to the Ultra Beasts. A useful list needs both the type and the category, rather than a loose definition of “rare Pokémon.” See Legendary Pokémon for the Legendary classification.

The list covers Generations I–IX and counts each species once by its usual typing. Item-dependent type changes, battle transformations, Terastallization and type-changing moves are excluded.

The four with Poison in their usual typing

The following table combines the classification with the clues used by Poke Wordle. The total is the sum of the six base stats, not a Pokémon’s level, current stats or Pokémon GO CP.

OkidogiPoison / Fighting9Legendary555Guard Dog / Toxic Chain
MunkidoriPoison / Psychic9Legendary555Frisk / Toxic Chain
FezandipitiPoison / Fairy9Legendary555Technician / Toxic Chain

Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti are the Loyal Three. Their shared total of 555 and Toxic Chain make a good memory aid, but their second types and other available Abilities distinguish them. Eternatus has a different total and belongs to Generation VIII. The Ability column lists the options attached to each game entry; it does not mean one individual uses every Ability simultaneously.

Why Pecharunt and Ultra Beasts are listed separately

Poke Wordle distinguishes Legendary, Mythical and Ultra Beast tags. These examples explain why finding Poison in a Pokédex entry is not enough to put it into the first table.

Pecharunt is Mythical despite its total of 600, as Pecharunt’s classification and the official Pecharunt announcement (English) show. Poipole and Naganadel remain Ultra Beasts after evolution. The term pseudo-legendary Pokémon describes a separate fan category.

What about Silvally and Arceus?

Silvally is Legendary and normally Normal-type. In games that support its Memory items, RKS System changes its type to match the Memory it holds; a Poison Memory therefore makes it Poison-type. A list of Legendary Pokémon that can be Poison-type must include that conditional case, even though it sits outside our four-species list of usual typings. Poison Silvally is a type-changing form of the same species, not an additional species to count. See Silvally and its forms.

Arceus can also take on the Poison type through its type-changing mechanics, including the Toxic Plate in games that support it. Its category remains Mythical. Changing type does not change category.

This site has one Normal-type entry each for Silvally and Arceus, with no separate Poison-type answers.

Using the distinction in Poke Wordle

The example uses normal mode, with all clues visible. Suppose the answer is Munkidori and you guess Okidogi in Poke Wordle. Poison, the Legendary tag, Generation IX, the total of 555 and Toxic Chain all match and turn green. Fighting and Guard Dog do not match and turn gray. The total matches exactly, so it does not need a higher or lower arrow.

Those green clues cannot confirm Okidogi: the gray clues already rule out that guess. Among the Loyal Three, Munkidori and Fezandipiti share the matching features but differ in their other type and Ability: Psychic with Frisk versus Fairy with Technician. A later guess can test those differences.

The game checks each displayed type and Ability separately against the answer’s available values. A green Toxic Chain does not reveal which Ability an individual Pokémon would use in battle. See the clue and color guide for how to read partial matches.
