So, I know most of the legendaries are a considerable size (kyogre, groudon, etc.) So my question is, exactly how rare of an occurrence would it be for one to be much smaller than normal? Like say, a groudon the size of a charizard?
This is relatively unheard of and exceptionally rare; The closest known Legendary to exhibiting this kind of trait is a Latias in the Hoenn region, affectionate dubbed “Little Lady” by the community.
Its a few inches shorter than other recorded Latias and is dwarfed by the Latios it tends to travel with, but it by no means exhibits the aforementioned qualities in your ask.
I hope this answers your question adequately!

Sanctuary True Chapter 2
After lunch everyone headed for the cart again when Dr. Villy got a call on her walkie talkie. “Dr.Villy please bring your group to the auditorium ASAP, we have a code Time and Space,” Professor Cherry’s voice came through. “On our way professor,” Dr.Villy looked at the trio “look like we’re headed back.” After everyone got in and was on the trail again Rose spoke up with a question everyone wanted to ask “what’s a code Space and Time?” Dr.Villy hesitated “………..Palkia and Dialga are fighting again.”
The girls where one of the first groups back, as they sat they noticed a group of 6 Alakazam walk into the auditorium. The Alakazams walked to the window side of the building and stood looking out. Slowly more and more groups returned, about half the groups had returned when a boom went off in the distance. A rushed voice came over Dr.Villy and the other group leaders’ walkie talkies, too quick for anyone to make out. Before Dr.Villy could radio back half the building came crashing down.
As the dust settled it became clear why the building had come down, Palkia and Dialga had just crashed down onto it. Every human was safe thanks to the Alakazams who had moved everyone in danger, they now had used the move protect to keep everyone safe as the battle between the lords of time and space raged on. Dialga was clearly winning as Palkia was having trouble with standing his attacks, with a well-aimed Dragon pulse Palkia went down with a ground shaking thud. As Palkia struggled to stand and Dialga readied another attack a human ran from the protection of the Alakazam towards Palkia “Stop already he yielded!”
happy new year!
How exactly are Pokemon classified as legendary, or even mythical? Pokemon like Palkia or Kyogre seem fairly obvious. Others like Entei or Zapdos don’t seem stronger or rarer than Pokemon like Garchomp. Locario populates Sinnoh history and myth even more than say, Manaphy. Even Rotom, Phione, and Zorua have seemed unclear at some points. And this isn’t even bringing up the complications of man-made Pokemon and genderless-ditto breeding. So in short, how are Pokemon classified as legends?
This is a wonderful question! There’s truly a large number of factors that go into determining the classification of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, so I’ll do my best to cover the basics.
First and foremost (and the most obvious in my opinion) is the mythology of the species. Most Legendary Pokémon have an incredible amount of history surrounding them, dating back to ancient times. As you said, not all Legendary Pokémon are as widely-renowned as the likes of Rayquaza and Arceus, but in most cases there’s a deep history of their sightings dating centuries back. Yes—Lucario has been seen in myths more often than Pokémon like Manaphy, but that’s simply because Lucario’s history is deeply intertwined with mankind. Similar to Arcanine and other loyalty driven Pokémon. Believe it or not, Manaphy fossils date back further than some Relicanth fossils!
I know what you’re thinking—What about Pokémon like Genesect and Silvally, though? They aren’t ancient by any means and have only been brought into existence in recent years. This is also true! We categorize them as Legendary/Mythical because... they don’t quite fit into any other category! They’re so new to the scene we don’t know for sure what they’re capable of and what effects they have on their respective environments. Until we have concrete proof and enough study to make a fairer judgement, they’ll be staying on the list.
Lastly, most Legendary Pokémon cannot breed through regular means or evolve. Manaphy can produce eggs, but the eggs will always hatch into Phione—never a new Manaphy. The only true exception to this is Cosmog/Cosmoem and Lunala/Solgaleo. An argument can be made in the case of Type:Null, but it’s relatively agreed upon that Type:Null seems to undergo a permanent form change (simply a voluntary removal of the control mask) rather than an evolution when becoming Silvally.
Pokémon like Garchomp and Metagross barely miss making the list. Their high stat totals put them in the runnings for powerful Pokémon capable of giving some Legendaries a run for their money, but ultimately they fall short due to their breeding and evolution process and relatively shorter history.
This was quite a bit of information, and I hope I explained clearly! Thank you for your question, and if you have any further questions feel free to send a follow up!

I need some advice. I somehow befreded a rayquaza when bardock my garchomp took me to this high mountain he goes to train and met the rayquaza there i gave it some pokebeans and poffins and affection but now it keeps trying to follow me. Should I capture it?
Rayquaza are considered Category 1 Legendaries, which mean they actually legally cannot be captured by anyone other than a Champion, Professor, Scientist (with good reason), or a licensed individual—these particular licenses are only distributed in times of great crisis when all previously listed options are unobtainable.
This is because Rayquaza are known balance keepers like Dialga or Palkia, and are much too important to take them out of their natural habitat unless it is an extreme emergency.
That being said! While it is illegal in most cases to own a Rayquaza, there is certainly nothing wrong with befriending one. If it follows you because it chooses to, it finds you worthy of its company. Feeding and playing with it is fine, just as long as you don’t bring it into a Pokeball!
Then perhaps some day, in a time of crisis where the region Champion is unable to perform, the Rayquaza may choose you to direct it in combat.
Good luck!
