According to the news, the pokemon company has finally found an official name for all the creatures that aren’t Legendary pokemon and named them as a “Powerhouse Pokemon.”
According to the Serebii’s Joe Merrick tweet he said, “Also interestingly the official notes for the Dragonite Raids and Larvitar, Bagon, Goomy & Beldum Outbreaks labels them as “Powerhouse Pokémon”.
He added “This was also used for a recent merchandise line featuring the “Pseudo-Legends”
I think we now have an official name for this group!” Joe added.
Fans Reactions
The reaction of fans towards the new name was quite positive
A Fan said; “I could see it becoming a rectangle and square situation. All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
In this case, I could see a reasonable stance being that all 600+ BST Pokémon are Powerhouse Pokemon, but not all Powerhouse Pokémon are pseudo legendaries.
But yeah Powerhouse Pokémon feels pretty catch all and fitting given there are plenty of legendaries sub 600.”
A fans reaction: “Both sound awesome, not sure which I prefer
Also I don’t know if the new name would still include Archaludon, “Pseudo-Legendary” as a name doesn’t disqualify Archaludon but more the rules put in place”
“Interesting, IIRC there was a region-exclusive merch line awhile ago that was about the pseudos and referred to them as “late-bloomers,” so I wonder if this is a updated term or if both of them are just merch lines with thematic names that aren’t necessarily the official name of this group of Pokémon.”, another fan said.
Conclusion
In summary, Pseudo- legendary pokemons, having a base stat of total 600, name has been changed to powerhouse pokemon. Fans are showing positive reactions calling it as a “ Interesting” and “ Awesome”.
