Final Notes:

The three legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, will be your final targets as they require 18 level 100 Pokemon to defeat (6 level 100 Pokemon for fire, lightning and water types).

Raikou, Entei and Sucine are called the three legendary beasts (or legendary cats/legendary dogs). They were voted in by fans to be turned into being permanently available, but the chances of owning one are extremely low.

Lastly, obtaining a Victini is still possible even if it's no longer available as a Mystery Gift. But players will have to scour the trades for a good deal.
