Are there actually two Lugias?

Question

My friend told me that in one of the old Pokemon movies, there were two Lugias and one of them was a baby and another was a mother of that baby. Can someone explain this to me, i'm really confused. I even thought to myself that legendaries couldn't breed. o_o

Answer 1

Yes there were older pokemon movie (see here for details: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Lugia_(Pokémon)#Lugia_.28movie_2.29). These was during the Johto adventures. I'm not sure why there was a movie with a baby Lugia, but legendarie (excluding Manaphy with breeds to make a Phione) can't breed.

So, bottom line, it was an older pokemon episode and Team Rocket was trying to nab Lugias child, and you can't forget, they're multiple Shaymins and the Anime and Video Game are two different branches of the Pokemon tree. And besides, legendaries have to continue living some way, don't they? XD

Hoped this answered your question!

Thank you, and as my picture shows, I'm a girl.

I always thought legendaries lived forever... Guess not.

---

Some might, some probably don't. Then Darkrai takes them away. XD

Nah, its hard to say if they live forever, but they're multiple of some legendaries like Shaymin.

dude ledgendary pokemon are basically immortal unless some guy goes uo to it and stabs it in the head but of course that won't happen in the anime

No. Legendaries have died many times before, especially in the movies. Celebi and Latios are examples.

Latios… my heart breaks ;~;

AND if legendary pokemon die darkrai don't take them away!!!! either hoop unbound OR giratina i mean darkrai only eats dreams

Answer 2

It was a movie-only thing. Lugia did have a baby.
But there is no baby Lugia in the games.

Btw, Legendaries are in an egg group called "Undiscovered".

We just have not discovered how they breed or what they breed with, since there is supposed to be one of each.
