Legendary Pokemon are famously powerful and among the strongest Pokemon GOs.
The meta of Pokemon GO’s is somewhat different from the main goal of the series, but most legendary Pokemon is sufficiently competent to be available. The best Pokemon is, however, that the meta itself can be actively formed.

What are the 5 best Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO?
Mewtwo
Mewtwo is a psychic pokemon of the supremely powerful kind, which decimates almost every opponent.
With one of Pokemon GO’s highest maximum CPs, Mewtwo will shatter any target of the devastating Psystrike.
But Mewtwo is also a Pokemon that can be adapted beautifully. It can learn how to transfer charges from six different styles.
Even Ghost and dark Pokemon have to worry about a Mewtwo if the mono-psychic Pokemon is not fit for focus or shadow ball.
Giratina (Altered)
Both the forms of Giratina are pernicious, but their altered form is without a doubt the more powerful of the two.
The changed shape has a higher defensive status, which can be a difficult option. However, despite its lower attack status and less effective movements, the DPS ends up being dangerously high.
By having more protection, the risky Pokemon will last, which has an advantage over Giratina. Giratina is also 6 forms resistant and 2 others resistant.
 Registeel
Registeel has been in the competitive scene of Pokemon GO for a long time.
The Pokemon is not only obscene, but is also a superbly tanky kind of steel that can withstand ten different types and that is strongly poison-resistant (immune in the main games).
It takes a robust EPS movement (Energy Per Second), and then hits Hyper Beam hard. For a Pokemon that can outweigh the vast majority of enemies, the higher energy costs do not mean much.
Cresselia
It’s a defensive choice and with its penetrating psychic attacks contributes to injury.
Cresselia has a good mass, which the players are allowed to turn on while they are on ropes. It also has access to the retrograde Future Sight assault, which damages significantly to its greater load requirements. Cresselia is able to use Grass Knot to add vulnerabilities to the coverage of a team.
Psychic is, unfortunately, not exactly a great defensive typing, so despite its bulky statistics Cresselia ends up taking more damage than she likes.
Rayquaza
Rayquaza is a powerhouse of horrific proportions, the rising snake, the Pokemon of the sky. It features a huge assault and a very strong danger of CP giving it all the strength to wipe away adversaries.
In view of its access to Dragon Tail and Outrage, both of which are very high DPS movements that are short of steel and fairy forms, rayquaza is still harder to resolve.
But Rayquaza can go down surprisingly fast with some glaring weaknesses (Fairy, Rock, Dragon and a 4x Ice-weakness, particularly in the recent meta, where the settlement is dominated by Abomasnow and Giratina (Altered).
