The Swords of Justice

The Swords of Justice, otherwise known as Cobalion, Keldeo, Terrakion, and Virizion, is a quartet of legendary Pokemon located throughout Unova. They all share a secondary fighting typing as well as learning moves such as Secret Sword and Sacred Sword. What do you think of this group of legendaries? Which is your favorite of them?

I think the group suits unova.
Of coarse in each gen there has been a trio but this group has a unique member keldeo who is obviously noted as the youngest of the group and the only one who has a seperate form (that is known of )
The group definately has a strong pull to the region and the disasters and other events that occur here which is probably why theyre one of my favorite groups from a region second only to the lake guardians.
My favorite would have to be Virizion because of its cool typing its nice shiny form and how it usually seems to be smiling :)

*why is it I feel like threads that could have a poll don't have one*

Anyways, I like the group of the Swords of Justice and how each one focuses on a different stat. My fave of the main three-design wise is Virizion, but the bonus member that is Keldeo is still really cute.

Virizion has an amazing design and definitely is my favorite of the 4. I use Keldeo the most though as it is unquestionably the best competitive wise of them. Though I really adore all 4 <3

I thought these were a good idea and I really enjoyed them. They came out nicely. My favorites would be Virizion and Keldeo

I thought they were a really cool Legendary trio, one of my favourites for sure. In terms of my favourite it's hard to choose. Keldeo and Terakkion are both top-tier threats in the Special and Physical fields respectively. Virizion can run a number of sets and is pretty sweet design-wise. I'd have to say, in the end, that Cobalion is my favourite; it's just so versatile in battle! It's ability to learn Volt Switch is incredibly useful (especially to me as I like to spam Volt-Turn combos), along with it's astonishing Speed and decent all round other stats. It just comes across as the leader in the Keldeo movie too which makes it that much cooler to me!

I like Cobalion! How do you get Keldeo?

KorpiklaaniVodka July 4th, 2015 1:28 AM

wow nobody seems to prefer terrakion...

That said it's my favourite of the 4 because Rock/Fighting is awesome offensively and it hits hard as hell whether it has a LO or a Scarf.

SleepyTrainer July 5th, 2015 12:50 PM

I've got two faves, Virizion and Keldeo, design wise. All of them are splendid tho.

Bgoldwax July 5th, 2015 3:15 PM

Personally I like Terrakion the best because it looks like Tauros' evolution and that gained the Ground and Fighting types to replace the Normal and the fact that it has a massive base attack stat helps.

I just replayed my Pokemon Black and caught Cobalion in my second Dusk Ball, Virizion in my first Dusk Ball and Terrakion ni my 13th Dusk Ball so I was pretty happy. Then after I caught them all it took me 20+ Ultra Balls to catch the Kyurem and only 1 to catch Volcarona due to a critical capture (only had 26 Pokemon registered so it has a 0% chance modifier I believe)

VillageofDragons July 7th, 2015 9:55 PM

Keldeo is my favorite to be honest, especially because of how cool its other forme is and its movepool. It's also cute :3

Sun July 10th, 2015 12:50 AM

My favorite member would be Keldeo! I love its cry and how its design. Virizion and Cobalion are good on their own as well. :)

I found Keldeo so adorable and its strong attacking power and speed makes it quite the adorable badass. Its place as the fourth member of the group makes sense when you consider it was based on d'Artagnan, who was the new one to join the trio in The Three Musketeers.

Oops he's name slipped off my mind. XD But sure, he's liked as well as there's no reason to hate it.

Dragon December 1st, 2015 1:33 PM

I adore Keledo and Virizion! Keledo is like a majestic sea-horse galloping through the land, but, more than ever I do like it's fighting/water typing so it can come into pokemon like tyranitars or something, while hitting back hard with Hydro Pump, Secret Sword, and so on.

I used to use Virizion a lot back in the day because it has great moves like Work up, so it can be like this really interesting Mixed attacker but I also like the way it just looks, art-wise. But still, Cobalion and Terrakion are great too. I like this idea of the Three Musketeers!

FireSnow December 1st, 2015 1:40 PM

This group of legends is definitely one of my favorites. As others have have said, I like that there is a Three Musketeers vibe coming from them, with Keldeo trying to break in. I also loved them in their movie as I could see the bond they share with each other and how important they are to the world. My favorite is definitely Cobalion. I love its dual typing personally and how it seems to be the leader of the group. Always ends up being a member of my postgame team in Black and ORAS

ShiningKami December 1st, 2015 2:25 PM

I really like this trio because of their status as protectors. In a region where Team Plasma try to take over twice and there's the possibility of two large dragons and their partners fighting over beliefs and potentially destroying everything, protectors make sense. They all have really cool designs, too, and Sacred Sword is an awesome move. I don't really have a favourite — Keldeo is adorable, and the other three are equally cool. If I had to choose, though, I think Terrakion would win out. Funny story about Terrakion: I used almost every ball in my bag trying to catch him on Black 2. I had to keep putting him to sleep with Musharna's Yawn so that he wouldn't end up using Struggle and knocking himself out. I finally caught him with my last Timer Ball, after using everything other than my Master Ball.

Sopheria December 1st, 2015 3:27 PM

I love the Swords of Justice! I love the lore surrounding them, I love their design, they're all pretty darned good in battle, etc. Plus they introduced Sacred Sword, one of my favorite attacks in the game! Virizion is my favorite of the four, for sure.

GiovanniViridian December 2nd, 2015 12:43 AM

The trio is pretty interesting and I caught them in my Black 2 run. Their Pokedex entries are pretty interesting considering Team Plasma's aims of liberating Pokemon from trainers, with the trio wanting to protect Pokemon from humans.

Qibli December 2nd, 2015 1:10 AM

Virizion because very pretty design and elgent also Keldeo just went to cuteness muskteers

Killua December 5th, 2015 4:46 AM

Go Keldeo!!!!!!

There's something I see showcased in the designs of each musketeer. Cobalion is the leader, Terrakion is the strong one, Virizion is the beauty and Keldeo is the cute newbie.

Nah December 10th, 2015 11:02 AM

Sometimes I forget that their official English group name is "Swords of Justice".....guess I got too used to calling them the Musketeers before SoJ became a thing. doesn't help that whenever I hear the phrase I think of protoss zealots lol

I guess my favorite would be Keldeo. The Water/Fighting combination, especially with Secret Sword, is a really nice offensive type combination.

Kaiyu December 12th, 2015 9:28 AM

Keldeo is my favorite from the group. I currently have it on my team. I haven't captured the others yet but working on it.
