Legendaries are undoubtedly the strongest additions to Pokemon Go, but some are just built differently, boasting better stats, moves, and damage output like no other.

These powerful Pokemon include the likes of Mega Rayquaza, Primal Groudon, and Primal Kyogre, and they are arguably the most sought-after grabs in the mobile game.

While Megas are easy to get, you must be confused about Primal Reversion and Energy, which can unleash the most OP versions of Groudon and Kyogre.
