Top 3 Legendary Pokemon in Sword and Shield

#3 - Regidrago

New members of the Legendary titan class were added in the Crown Tundra expansion for Sword and Shield. Regidrago is one of those members. The entire puzzle to find the titans originally was a frustratingly rewarding experience.

This time around, puzzles return and the player can only select to face Regidrago or Regieleki. The Dragon-type titan Pokemon has incredible HP. That is its signature. It just looks so cool as well. Its arms are the mouth of a dragon.

#2 - Urshifu

As soon as Urshifu was allowed in competitive battling, it became a popular choice for trainers. Introduced in the Isle of Armor, Urshifu evolved from Kubfu. The trainer was then given a choice to make Urshifu a Fighting/Dark-type or a Fighting/Water-type.

Both have their pros and cons. Both are extremely powerful, however. The two separate Gigantamax forms are incredibly awesome. This was a Legendary Pokemon that players truly felt could add to their team, rather than just be a massively powerful creature that gets stored in the PC after a short while.

#1 - Zacian

The game mascot for Sword, Zacian, is the best Legendary found in Sword and Shield. It immediately became popular in the game and in the TCG with its amazing card designs. An entire Twitter page has been dedicated to Zacian just holding stuff in its mouth like it does its sword.

In its Crowned Sword form, Zacian becomes a Fairy/Steel-type. Its Attack and Speed stats get major boosts in that form and it becomes even more powerful than in its Hero of Many Battles Form. Zacian is just plain likeable.
