History WebAnimation / LegendaryAndMythicalPokemonBattleRoyale

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Darkrai is horrified by Landorus, that it eliminates itself by crawling into Landorus' ear.

** Zygarde shrieks after Hoopa steals one of its cells to bring it out of its Complete Forme.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Some Legendary and Mythical Pokémon never show up on-screen, and are most certainly KilledOffscreen by [[spoiler:Yveltal's postmortem world purge]]. The Pokémon who never show up are Mesprit, Azelf, Manaphy, Volcanion, and Tapu Bulu.

* AdaptationalBadass: In the legendary battle royal analysis, Lockstin explains that they also decided to interpret vaguely worded entries to their most logical extreme, like Lunala being able to control the moon to perform a ColonyDrop ([[SpamAttack repeatedly]]) and Yveltal's InstantDeathRadius affecting the entire world.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: In the Legendary battle royal, Lunala, Groudon, and Lugia turn the planet into a smoldering wasteland with the moon constantly beating down on it, while Yveltal ended up wiping out all life on earth with its InstantDeathRadius.

* SerialEscalation: The first battle royal had an island being the battlefield, with the only two cases of mass destruction being due to Magcargo and Gardevoir. The Legendary battle royal begins with an entire planet, with a lot more mass destruction due to the likes of Lunala, Groudon, and Lugia, and once the planet becomes an uninhabited mess due to Yveltal's death, it quickly escalates to a universal scale, then, during the finale between Ultra Necrozma and Arceus, it [[ReadingsAreOffTheScale crashes the computer running the simulation]].

* BeamSpam: Zygarde-100% tries to kill Mewtwo by shooting laser beams at it. Keyword being [[TeleportSpam tries.]]

** Zygarde shrieks after Hoopa steals one of its cells to bring it out of its Complete Form.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Hoopa sabotages the power of Zygarde Complete by taking away a single cell/core.

* WeaksauceWeakness: When one of Zygarde's cells is removed by Hoopa, it's quickly reduced to 4 10% Zygardes, 9 cells and cores, and one 50% Zygarde floundering on the ground.

** As Hoopa is warping about with its rings, you can see [[EatDirtCheap Melmetal eating Magearna,]] some shots of [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pallet Town,]] [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Santalune Forest,]] [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Postwick]], the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Angry Sun]], and a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy Cactuar,]] and finally, [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Peach's Castle,]] [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Kirby's house,]] and [[JokeCharacter a Phione drifting listlessly in the ocean]] alongside [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Kyogre]], and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a random photorealistic sardine.]]

* {{Lunacy}}: Parodied. As "the beast that calls the moon", Lunala uses the Moon from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]] [[ColonyDrop to hit Earth]] [[PinballProjectile repeatedly]] (with some help from [[ThinkingUpPortals Ultra Wormholes]] for the "repeatedly" part).

** Lunala uses the moon from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]] to perform a ColonyDrop.

** When Black Kyurem hurts its foot after stepping on Keldeo, it nurses its leg while hissing [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy "shhhhhhhh… ahhhhhhh…"]]

* MoveInTheFrozenTime: Dialga uses [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Chaos Control]] to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders stop time]] and prevent Ultra Necrozma from destroying it, Palkia, Celebi, and Arceus. All of a sudden, a light peeks out of a crack on Ultra Necrozma that eviscerates Celebi, and then it begins moving again while time is still frozen, obliterating Dialga and Palkia at once.

* MoveInTheFrozenTime: Dialga uses [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Chaos Control]] to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders stop time]] and prevent Ultra Necrozma from destroying it, Palkia, Celebi, and Arceus. All of a sudden, a light peeks out of a crack on Ultra Necrozma that eviscerates Celebi, and then it begins moving again whole time is still frozen, obliterating Dialga and Palkia at once.

* AllForNothing: Ho-Oh revives the Legendary Beasts after they're felled, but then all four of them get cooked by Mewtwo's Psychic, with Ho-oh turning into a photorealistic rotisserie chicken.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Palkia is not pleased by Hoopa doing his thing by utilizing TeleportSpam with his rings. So when Hoopa gets too close, Palkia kills him mid-warp by slicing him in half with Spacial Rend, [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe the other half falling out of the other end of the ring]].

* MetronomicManMashing: Kyurem pulls this on Zekrom, then absorbs him, turning into Kyurem-Black (with the "full heal" sound effect from ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' as well).
* MoveInTheFrozenTime: Dialga uses [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Chaos Control]] to [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders stop time]] and prevent Ultra Necrozma from destroying him, Palkia, Celebi, and Arceus. All of a sudden, a light peeks out of a crack on Ultra Necrozma that eviscerates Celebi, and then he begins moving again whole time is still frozen, obliterating Dialga and Palkia at once.

** Groudon's reaction to his old rival appearing[[note]]and implicitly overriding Desolate Land with Primordial Sea, leaving Groudon wide-open to being obliterated by Water-type moves:[[/note]]

* RunningGag: Lugia clapping his hands and summoning forty day storms, as well as the moon [[PinballProjectile bouncing around the planet]] thanks to Lunala.

** When Palkia is hit by Ultra Necrozma's light, he gets the same expression [[Anime/YuGiOh Seto Kaiba had when he was hit by Exodia]].

* StrippedToTheBone: Virizion gets melted away due to all the heat generated by Groudon's rampage, but her skeleton remains.

--->'''Regigigas:''' ''(watching as the moon hurdles towards it)'' [[MemeticMutation My body is ready.]]

* AllForNothing: Ho-oh revives the Legendary Beasts after they're felled, but then all four of them get cooked by Mewtwo's Psychic, with Ho-oh turning into a photorealistic rotisserie chicken.

--> '''Registeel:''' (upon going up against Tapu Lele) Defiant statement: There is nothing you can do to me! Do. Your worst.
--> '''Registeel:''' (proceeds to NoSell Tapu Lele's Moonblast) Revolting.

* BadassFingersnap: [[spoiler:How Arceus defeats Ultra Necrozma in the "Arceus Wins" ending: after trapping Ultra Necrozma with its thousand arms, Arceus summons multiple Unown in circular patterns around it, and snaps its fingers, making Necrozma disappear.]]

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Ultra Necrozma is responsible for killing Dialga, Palkia, and in one of the timelines, Arceus. (This is arguably downplayed by Necrozma qualifying as a "Cthulhu" in its own right.)]]

--> '''Keldeo:''' [screaming] ([[BadassBoast You will suffer the pain of a thousand deaths by my sword.]])

* HijackingCthulhu: In the "Necrozma Wins" ending, Necrozma is able to assimilate ''Arceus'' into itself, unlocking a new form.

* MultipleEndings: Necrozma's victory over Dialga and Palkia, the only things that can stabilize the space-time continuum, causes reality to glitch. By the time it reaches Arceus, the universe splits into two, one where Necrozma wins by absorbing Arceus and transforming into a new form and another where Arceus wins after restraining the Prism Pokémon with one of its many arms and snapping it out of existence.
* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Regigigas stopping Lunala's ColonyDrop by catching the Moon with its bare hands and chucking it back to space would have been a pretty awesome moment… if Lunala didn't [[ThinkingUpPortals open several Ultra Wormholes]] to send the Moon back to Earth.
* NoSell:

---> '''Regigigas:''' (Watching as the moon hurtles towards it) [[MemeticMutation My body is ready]].

---> '''Groudon:''' [=[=][[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screaming]][=]=] [gets flushed down toilet, representing getting hit by Surf]

---> '''Solgaleo:''' [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Oh no.]]

--> '''Entei:''' Ba.
--> [volcano erupts]
--> '''Entei:''' Ha ba ba.
--> [second volcano erupts]
--> '''Entei.''' Hakababa ba ba.
--> [third volcano erupts]

** Dialga uses [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 Chaos Control]] to stop time. The sound and visual effects used for this are reminiscent of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Dio's Time Stop ability]].

* TheWorfEffect: Mewtwo, after spending nearly the entire animation killing other Pokémon left and right and dodging powerful attacks from the larger forces of nature, is helpless to stop [[spoiler:Necrozma from absorbing Victini, then leaving the Earth to die via triggering Yveltal's death throes]].

* BadassFingersnap: How Arceus defeats Ultra Necrozma in the "Arceus Wins" ending: after trapping Ultra Necrozma with its many arms, Arceus summons multiple Unown in circular patterns around it, and snaps its fingers, making Necrozma disappear.

* ResurrectiveImmortality: Yveltal undergoes one as it's exploited by Necrozma. Necrozma shoots Yveltal by its vitals and leaves immediately as Yveltal sucks the life force of other Pokémon in the process while entering its cocoon phase.

For a battle royale featuring all other (pre-Gen-VIII) Pokémon, see ''WebAnimation/PokemonBattleRoyale''.

* TheWorfEffect: Mewtwo, after spending nearly the entire animation killing other Pokémon left and right and dodging powerful attacks from the larger forces of nature, is helpless to stop [[spoiler:Necrozma from absorbing Victini, then leaving the Earth to die via triggering Yveltal's death throes]].
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Hoopa is killed before it can activate its Unbound form, which, aside from being much stronger, is able to summon and control other legendaries, even Dialga and Palkia.

** Primal Groudon's rampage is logically stopped by the one being it's 4x weak against; Primal Kyogre, who literally flushes out the Ground/Fire Pokémon.[[note]]It should be noted that Groudon's Desolate Land fails to protect it because Kyogre shows up in the middle of Groudon's rampage, meaning that Kyogre's Desolate Sea overrides it due to its later arrival.[[/note]]

** Tapu Lele's attack bounces off of Registeel. Once Groudon starts firing Solar Beam, Tapu Lele is seen writhing on the ground while burning, but Registeel is completely unaffected even though both Pokémon are at about the same distance away from the beam.[[note]]While Tapu Lele resists Fire and Registeel is weak to it, Solar Beam is a ''Grass-type'' move, [[FridgeBrilliance which Registeel resists and Tapu Lele is weak to]].[[/note]]

** Groudon's reaction to his old rival appearing[[note]]and implicitly overriding Desolate Land with Primordial Sea, leaving Groudon wide-open to being obliterated by Water-type moves[[/note]]:

** As soon as Genesect is released, it tries to fire its backpack cannon at the nearby Giratina, who promtly sends Genesect flying and screaming through a portal into the Distortion World.
** Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres are released all together in front of Lugia, who immediately squashes them flat by clapping its wings.
** Kyurem interrupts the fight between Zekrom and Reshiram, smacking Zekrom around before assimilating it and turning into Black Kyurem; it then fires an Ice Beam that decapitates Reshiram. It also stomps the nearby Keldeo, but ends up hurting its foot because of Keldeo's horn.
** Primal Groudon's rampage is logically stopped by the one being it's 4x weak against; Kyogre, who literally flushes out the Ground/Fire Pokémon.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Ultra Necrozma is responsible for killing Dialga, Palkia, and in one of the timelines, Arceus.]]

* FreezeFrameBonus: As the simulation glitches out [[spoiler:from Ultra Necrozma's charge towards Arceus, you can see glimpses of a [[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Kulu-Ya-Ku]] (Holding the crystal from ''Monster Hunter World Part 4'') and [[VideoGame/StarFox Fox and Krystal]] (As seen in the Vaporwave Segment from their ''Something About'' episode) in the black.]]

** As Hoopa is warping about with its rings, you can see [[EatDirtCheap Melmetal eating Magearna,]] some shots of [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pallet Town,]] [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Santalune Forest,]] [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Postwick]], the [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Angry Sun]], and a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy Cactuar,]] and finally, [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Peach's Castle,]] [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Kirby's house,]] and [[JokeCharacter a Phione drifting listlessly in the ocean]] alongside [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Kyogre]] and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a random photorealistic sardine.]]

--> '''Keldeo''': [screaming] (You will suffer the pain of a thousand deaths by my sword.)

* JokeCharacter: A Pikachu was put in at the beginning, and immediately suffocates in the vacuum of space, because, as Lockstin points out, Pikachu is sometimes treated like a Legendary.

* {{Lunacy}}: Parodied. As "the beast that calls the moon", Lunala uses the Moon from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]] to hit Earth repeatedly.

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Regigigas stopping Lunala's ColonyDrop by catching the Moon with its bare hands and chucking it back to space would have been a pretty awesome moment... if Lunala didn't open several Ultra Wormholes to send the Moon back to Earth.

** Tapu Lele's attack bounces off of Registeel. Once Groudon starts firing Solar Beam, Tapu Lele is seen writhing on the ground while burning, but Registeel is completely unaffected even though both Pokémon are at about the same distance away from the beam.
** While Virizion melts away due to Groudon's heat, Regice can be seen in the background completely unaffected, with the captions "I'm fine" popping up. This is due to its canon pokédex entry stating that its body will not melt away even in extreme heat.

---> '''Regigigas''': (Watching as the moon hurtles towards him) [[MemeticMutation My body is ready]].
* OffWithHisHead: Black Kyurem Ice Beams Reshiram by the neck, which causes its head to then slide off.

** Groudon's reaction to his old rival appearing:
---> '''Groudon''': [[[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl screaming]]] [gets flushed down toilet, representing getting hit by Surf]

---> '''Solgaleo''': [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Oh no.]]

* OlympusMons: This battle royale is made up of all legendary and mythical Pokémon. Pikachu is the only exception, and is the first one eliminated as the result.
* OminousVisualGlitch: Happens a few times in the video, starting with the moon controlled by Lunala bashing it onto the Earth several times. [[spoiler:Becomes much more prominent as Ultra Necrozma absorbs the sun and finishes off Dialga and Palkia. Then it flies towards Arceus, where the glitchy element gets worse. The screen eventually splits into two to showcase two different endings.]]

* PhysicalGod: Several of the combatants are elemental deities, some are an island's Guardian Deities, some are inspired by gods from real life mythology, one was created to be the WorldsBestWarrior when the highest were three of the aforementioned elemental deities, two are incarnations of the sun and moon, two control time and space, a couple are {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, and the final dual ends up being between one of said abominations at it's strongest, as well as {{God}}.
* PraetorianGuard: When Ultra Necrozma rockets towards Arceus, Palkia and Dialga get in its way to protect Arceus. Given that it's a Battle Royale, two Pokemon not only working together, but doing so to defend another one stands out a lot.

* RedShirt: Most of the legendaries don't do anything besides dying, usually in horribly graphic ways.

--> '''Entei''': Ba.

--> '''Entei''': Ha ba ba.

--> '''Entei''': Hakababa ba ba.

* RunningGag: Lugia clapping his hands and summoning forty day storms, as well as the moon bouncing around the planet thanks to Lunala.

--->'''Registeel''': Observation: This is a great opportunity for slaughter.
** During Hoopa's TeleportSpam, it visits a desert with an [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Angry Sun]] and a [[VideoGame/FinalFantasy Cactuar]], [[VideoGame/SuperMario64 Peach's Castle (still dilapidated from the events of ''Something About Super Mario 64)]] and [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Kirby's house (same, albeit Kirby still lives there)]].

** When Black Kyurem hurts its foot after stepping on Keldeo, it nurses its leg while hissing [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy "shhhhhhhh... ahhhhhhh..."]]

** Numerous sound cues are taken from ''Manga/DragonBall'', namely the Instant Transmission sound when a Pokémon does a FlashStep (or does a TeleportSpam in Mewtwo's case) and various beam sound effects when powerhouses like Zygarde's Complete Forme, Groudon and Rayquaza fire off massive beam attacks. There's also the Super Saiyan powerup cue when [[spoiler:Necrozma gets a boost in power by assimilating Victini]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Hoopa is killed before it can activate its Unbound form, Which aside from being much stronger is able to summon and control other legendaries, even Dialga and Palkia.

** Rayquaza, canonically one of the strongest Pokémon by virtue of being the sky incarnate, descends on Earth and doesn't like Lugia's hurricanes, so the dragon vaporizes Lugia with a beam of concentrated air.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Rayquaza defeats Lugia by deflecting one of it’s own storms back at it.

** Palkia spends its final moments staggering back in terror as Ultra Necrozma's beams vaporize it.

* TheWorfEffect: Mewtwo, after spending nearly the entire animation killing other Pokémon left and right and dodging powerful attacks from the larger forces of nature, is helpless to stop [[spoiler:Necrozma from absorbing Victini, then leaving the Earth to die via triggering Yveltal's death throes]].

* BadassFingersnap: How Arceus defeats Ultra Necrozma in the "Arceus Wins" ending: after trapping Ultra Necrozma with its many arms, Arceus summons multiple Uknown in circular patterns around it, and snaps its fingers, making Necrozma disappear.

-->'''Registeel''': Observation: This is a great opportunity for slaughter.
