What percentage of Pokémon are Legendary?
Legendary Pokémon are among the rarest and most powerful creatures in the Pokédex. Understanding how rare they are gives context to why they are so sought after for competitive battle teams. This analysis examines the proportion of Legendary Pokémon across the entire dataset of 800 Pokémon to determine just how exclusive they really are.
The pie chart clearly shows that Legendary Pokémon make up only 8.13% of all Pokémon, with just 65 out of 800 classified as Legendary. The vast majority at 91.88% are non-Legendary. This confirms that Legendary Pokémon are extremely rare, which is reflected in their typically superior base stats compared to regular Pokémon. For a trainer building the ultimate battle team, securing even one Legendary Pokémon would provide a significant advantage.
