Top Ten Legendary Pokemon Battle/Encounter Themes
5/30/15: I made an updated version of this list in the 2 Years since this video was uploaded. This video features themes from X/Y, as well as ORAS. Figured I'd throw a link here since this version still gets a lot of views for some reason: • My Top Ten Legendary Pokemon Themes(Updated)
If there's one frustrating aspect of the Pokemon games, it's capturing the legendary Pokemon of each region. Part of what encourages us to keep doing it, aside from the appeal as an optional sidequest, is the music that accompanies each of these powerful creatures.
10. I love the numerous remixes of this piece, but I decided to go with the original version. I love the sound of it, since retro music has this big appeal for me.
9. This theme really emphasized the ancient power this trio had. Made catching them all the more entertaining.
8. I just love how this music really gets you pumped to encounter the Unova Legendaries, especially Victini and the Musketeer Trio. It even carried over into Black 2/White 2.
7. The bass. That is all.
6. Proud and upbeat. Not what I'd expect from deities of Time and Space, but still great to listen to.
5. I could imagine an army marching to the intro of this piece. I also like how the piece is altered depending on the dragon you faced, like Kyurem having a more emphasized bass at the beginning, or the fire/lightning effects in the middle of the Reshiram/Zekrom variants.
4. More fitting of the area where you fight it, but calming. I loved this when I first heard it, and I still do.
3. Difficult to describe, but an epic piece for a mutated space virus.
2. Fitting for GOD. It's the simplicity that makes this track work.
1. The melody is just chilling. The creature you face while this is playing is basically the Pokemon equivalent of the Devil. I could listen to this piece for hours and never get bored of it. My personal favorite track in the series for my personal favorite legendary Pokemon.
