Ninetales is a Kitsune.

Idr what it's called, but what about the deer unicorn in Chinese mythology?

I am aware of what Ninetales is, but I mean a Kitsune that's a legendary and more reminiscent of the original Kitsune legend from Japanese folklore as opposed to Ninetales (and to a lesser extent, Zoroark), and Ninetales isn't a legendary.

Also, the Chinese creature you're thinking of is called a Qilin.

I really like that idea, but if it were up to me, I would have the shared subtype of the trio be "bug", so you have bug/dark, bug/ghost, and bug/poison. The reason for this is that the bug type is more creature based than the other three. So you would have a trio of bugs, kind of like you have a trio of birds, and a trio of beasts. And I think that bugs are good creatures to associate with fear, or whatever theme you want to impose!

I feel Dark would be a much better shared type for such a trio, given its original name translates as "Evil" or "Bad". Bugs are but merely one fear and many species are actually seen as a positive thing; evil/bad applies to all three trio members and is the core concept in and of itself.

On second thought, maybe Poison would in fact be the trio's unifying type.

According to the fear-based Ability, the "scary types" are officially Bug, Ghost, and Dark (Incidentally, the Shadow Triad's three non-Bisharp Pokemon are of these types...).

Quilin, that's it! It would be something like water and grass...because it purifies water with its horn.

I think they should make a legendary Pokémon based on a lion.

I made one once, but it was an epic fail.
Pion, the pie lion Pokémon. It was created due to an accident in a bakery. It was part steel type because of its pie tin.
Extra rare: Pion, cherry filling, it's holding a cheri berry.

ENTEI IS A LION :P I know technically it's something like a bulldog-collie thing but I will forever call it a lion.

legendary horses / a water-like version with a trident like Poseidon omg how cool. probably throw in an electric and a grass type.

i would love to see a legandary ghost type pokemon or even better a ghost/psychic type!! and of course i'd love it to be another adorable legandary.

How about Greek-mythology based? Only less douchy.

Time for a ghost legendary!!!!

I wonder what a "Ghost" legendary would be. Maybe they could have it be the ghost of some legendary pokemon that lived back when the fossil pokemon were around, and it went extinct with them, but is now back because, y'know, it's a ghost....

Well, the games aren't really clear wether or not Ghost pokémon are dead.

Well, waaaaay back in Gen 1 there was the ghost of that dead Marowak.

^^ And yet she didn't turn into a Ghastly/Haunter/Gengar, so, confusion is still on effect
