>>40687194Well let's see.
Gen 1
>MewI believe this is still technically available from Ranch, but even if not, the LGPE one still counts I think. Without any of that, it's still available if carefully spawned in VC.
Gen 2
>CelebiObtainable from VC Crystal on 3DS at all times. Shiny possible too.
Gen 3
>JirachiColosseum disc owners still exist and make them regularly. Otherwise it can be purchased and used, as long as you have a GBA and GC.
>DeoxysStory catch in ORAS
Gen 4
>ArceusEvent only. Rare, always at Lv. 100. HoO ones exist everywhere but are usually considered not legit.
>ManaphyI believe there's still a way to get this from Ranger carts.
>ShayminTweeking but otherwise rare. Will not have a Fateful encounter tag, which causes issues.
>DarkraiSame as Shaymin.
Gen 5
>VictiniAs far as I know, it's still possible to send Pokemon via DNS exploit that are holding the Liberty Island ticket.
>Keldeo, Meloetta, and GenesectEvent only, rare.
Gen 6
>Diancie, Hoopa, and VolcanionAll event only, rare.
Gen 7
>MagearnaAlways available, QR code.
>Marshadow and ZeraoraEvent only, rare.
Thus, out of the above, the rare ones are Arceus, Keldeo, Genesect, Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion, Marshadow, and Zeraora.
Out of these, Arceus has recieved the most distributions.
Diancie has recieved the second most as far as I know, including catch up events (Keldeo also got one of these). Keldeo is 3rd, with slightly more than Genesect and Hoopa, which are 4th roughly. The 3 rarest thus are Volcanion, Marshadow, and Zeraora.
Now out of these, 2 were end-of-gen closer promos, namely Volcanion and Zeraora. Marshadow is in high demand due to how useful it is, but it was only distributed ONCE, in 2017. The north american version in particular is the rarest, as it was distributed for less than a month, as a Halloween promo. While Zeraora technically also was only done once, it was in 4 countries (Volc in 5), while Marshadow was in 3.
Thus, Marshadow is the rarest event mythical.
