Legendaries and abilities

89 of the 568 Pokémon are Legendary. A spin keeps a Legendary only 1 time in 20, so one appears in an offer about 1 spin in 17. Each has one ability, set by its first type.

What each ability is worth

Apex is a flat 95 or better at every position, so an Apex Legendary fills whichever spot your draft is weakest at. Captain is +2 team OVR, the largest flat bonus. Weather is +3 on each teammate who shares a type with it, +0.6 team OVR per teammate helped. Pressure is +1.0 team OVR. Fortress adds nothing to OVR but cancels every type disadvantage your team would take, which matters most against late-round opponents.

All 89 Legendaries

Sorted by best rating; bold is each one's best position.
