01 · FULL EXPLANATION

Mythicals are even rarer than Legendaries. Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Darkrai, Shaymin, Victini, Genesect, Meloetta, Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion, Magearna, Marshadow, Zarude and others.

Most Mythicals are unlocked through a multi-step Special Research questline (often ticketed at GO Fest). They're tradable but only as Special Trades, and most have shiny variants released later.

Mew and Celebi have multiple Special Research pathways. Newer Mythicals (Hoopa, Zarude) come gated behind paid GO Fest tickets initially, then unlock for everyone months later.
