B Tier

B Tier Image
Image for the B-Tier Legendary Pokémon

After the A-Tier we will be discussing the B-Tier. Now, the B-Tier is universally known to contain little above average entities. Therefore, we will be discussing the Pokemon that fulfill that criteria. These Pokemon are still among the strongest legendary Pokemon but fall short of being included in the best legendary pokemon list. These Pokemon are listed as follows

Thundurous

Thundurus is called the Bolt Strike Pokemon, entry number 642 on the Pokedex. It is an electric flying-type pokemon and was released in the 5th generation of Pokemon along with its fellow guardians, Landorous and Tornadus. It is a relatively decent legendary pokemon on this legendary pokemon tier list but not too good. Furthermore, it is one of the few legendary Pokemon that have a disclosed gender as well.

HP 79
Attack 115
Defense 70

Entei

Entei is called the Volcano Pokemon, entry number 244 on the Pokedex. It is a fire-type pokemon that was released in the 2nd generation of Pokemon.

HP 115
Attack 115
Defense 85

Latias

Latias is called the Eon Pokemon, entry number 380 on the Pokedex. She is the psychic dragon-type female counterpart of her fellow Pokemon, Latios. Latias’ type effectiveness is the reason she is one of the best average Pokemon because she is weak to 6 types but is resistant to 7 types. She is definitely a strong pokemon to play if you have a strategy built around her.

HP 80
Attack 80
Defense 90

Lunala

Lunala is called the Moone Pokemon, entry number 792 on the Pokedex. It is a psychic and ghost-type pokemon that is referred to as the female evolution of Cosmeom but still remains genderless. Lunalas ability to morph with Necrozma makes it one of the strongest legendary Pokemon to obtain if you already have Necrozma. It is resistant to normal, fighting, poison, and psychic-type moves but very weak to Ghost and Dark-type moves.

HP 137
Attack 113
Defense 89

Genesect

Genesect is called the Paleozoic Pokemon, entry number 649 on the Pokedex. It is the only Bug-type legendary or mythical Pokemon that has been released which makes it a very unique pokemon paired with a steel-type trait as well. It is resistant to 9 types of moves which makes it a very viable pick but has very bad speed and hp stats making it a B-Tier pokemon.

HP 71
Attack 120
Defense 95

Kyogre

Kyogre is called the Sea Basin Pokemon, entry number 382 on the Pokedex. It was released in the 3rd generation as a water-type pokemon along with Groudon. It is resistant to Fire, Water, Ice, and Steel-type moves making it a good general pokemon.

HP 100
Attack 100
Defense 90

Articuno

Articuno is called the Freeze Pokemon, entry number 144 on the Pokedex. It is an Ice and Flying-type Pokemon and is one of the three legendary birds. Articuno has a very unique resistant chart making it a viable choice among the legendary birds. If this were the pokemon go legendary tier list, Articuno would surely be an S-Tier pokemon due to its Special Defense stat.

HP 90
Attack 85
Defense 100

Solgaleo

Solgaleo is called the Sunne Pokemon, entry number 791 on the Pokedex. It was released alongside Lunala as the male evolution of Cosmoem, however, remains genderless. Its Psychic and Steel-type combination allows it to be a decent pokemon to have, but when paired with Necrozma it becomes a very deadly pokemon to play against. Furthermore, it is one of the few legendary Pokemon on this tier list that has a resistance to 10 types out of the 16 total.

HP 137
Attack 137
Defense 107

Latios

Latios is also called the Eon Pokemon much like Latias and is entry number 381 on the Pokedex. He is the male counterpart of his fellow legendary Pokemon, Latias. Much like Latias, he is resistant to 6 types and weak to 6 types making him a very decent pick for your party, especially because of his ability to mega-evolve.

HP 80
Attack 90
Defense 80

Regice

Regice is called the Iceberg Pokemon and is entry number 378 on the Pokedex. It is one of the 6 “Regi” pokemon, being the ice type among them. Its stats are unique as it has very high special defense but very low attack and speed. Regice’s resistance is only against ice-type moves but is weak to 4 types. This Pokemon’s reason for being B-Tier is its abilities, Its stats can’t be lowered, and he regains hp if he is in a hailstorm.

HP 80
Attack 50
Defense 100

Suicune

Suicune is called the Aurora Pokemon, entry number 245 on the Pokedex. It is the water-type legendary dog among the three legendary dogs next to Entei and Raikou. Suicune’s resistance against fire, water, steel, and ice types makes it an effective pick against most enemy teams. Its stats are also well-rounded, leaving no complex strategy to build around it.

HP 100
Attack 75
Defense 115

Deoxys

The next Pokemon in this category is Deoxys, the DNA pokemon. It is a psychic-type legendary pokemon with alternating stats having a maximum attack, special attack, and speed iv with little hp, defense, and special defense iv.

It is a dragon and ice-type pokemon having entry number 646 on the Pokedex as the species “Boundary Pokemon.” Kyurem’s resistance is only restricted to 3 types but is weak to 5 types.

Attack 130
Defense 90

Tapu Koko

Tapu Koko is one of the four guardians of the Alolan Region in Pokemon Sun and Moon. It is the electric guardian and a fairy type, known as the Land Spirit pokemon at Pokedex entry 785.

The Deep Black Pokemon, or Zekrom, is a dragon electric-type pokemon number 644 on the Pokedex. It is resistant to 6 types of moves and Pokemon, making it fairly decent.
