Question

Well, if yes, that I think that people should not consider Phione as a legendary.

Answer 1

Okay, here's the deal:

Manaphy can only breed Phione once, but you can breed Phione to make more Phione.

Phione can be bred from its "evolution," Manaphy, but cannot evolve INTO it. This means that they are commonly referred to as two separate Pokemon, rather than a chain.

Phione is not referred to by most devoted fans as a legendary Pokemon. According to tiering, it's only NU.

I think that the evolution family is so pointless, personally.
Thanks!
And NU is part of a rating system that competitive Pokemon players use to tell which Pokemon are good, and which aren't. NU stands for "Never Used," and is the lowest official rating of a Pokemon.

Manaphy is Uber, which means the best of the best. Kyogre, Groudon, Deoxys, and other legendary Pokemon also have this rating.
