What is Pseudo?

Question

I see this word everywhere but I have no idea what it actually means.

Answer 1

Though GAMEBEATER is right (probably :D), you maybe meant pseudo-legendary. It's non-legendary Pokémon with total stats over 600 (but eg. hounds, guardians and golems have only 580). The psuedo-legendaries are: Dragonite, Tyranitar, Metagross, Salamence, Garchomp, and Sazandora.

Hounds,Guardians and Golems aren't Pseudo-legends
Dragonite,Tyranitar,Salamence,Metagross,Garchomp and Sazandora are Pseudo-legends

---

I know they aren't. They're just legendaries under 600

---

So pseudo-legends are legendaries under 600 or normal pokemon who are more than 600?

---

Quick question, where did the 600 or below come from? I don't really understand it.

---

It's stats total. If you mean, why 600, I'm really not sure :D

Answer 2

It's nickname in french.
I comes from the greek word ''ψευδής'' (or ''ψέυτικος'') wich means false, not real.

Eg: SuperFlygon is your Pseudo.

Sheesh, French......
I speak English!!

Answer 3

Answering this because the definition of Pseudo-Legendary has changed since this answer has been posted. There are 3 requirements for a Pokémon to be considered a Pseudo-Legendary. They are:
1. The Pokémon must have a BST of 600 exactly (Prior to Mega Evolution).
2. The Pokémon must have a 3 stage evolutionary line.
3. The Pokémon must have 1,250,000 Experience at Level 100.

There are currently 9 Pseudo Legendaries, them being Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Goodra, Kommo-o, and Dragapult. Of course, none are Legendaries or Mythicals.
