All I know is that Celebi, Magernea, Diancie, and Jirachi should all be a cheeky girls. (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

Manaphy is definitely a girl for me
I remember that movie with May and Manaphy and I was like, "aw, they make a great mom/daughter combination" and later they would say "wow, so manaphy is the prince of the sea" and my mind will just pause and twirl for a second hahaha |
I don't think many of the legendary Pokemon "scream" a gender, so for those, I'll do gender ratios I think they'd be instead.
Articuno: 50/50 male to female gender ratio Zapdos: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Moltres: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Mewtwo: 50/50 male to female since the anime had two Mewtwos, one with a male voice, another with a female voice. Mew: 100% female, since Mew is known to have been "pregnant" before, so it's obvious it'd better suit female than male. Entei: starter gender ratio (87% chance of being male) Suicune: 75% chance female to 25% male gender ratio Raikou 87% chance of being male gender ratio/starter gender ratio Ho-Oh: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Lugia: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Celebi: male. Shiny one is female. Registeel: sexless or genderless. Probably both. Regirock: sexless/genderless. Regice: sexless/genderless. Groudon: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Kyogre: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Rayquaza: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Jirachi: gonna have to say male for this one, since PMD had one that was considered "male". So. Deoxys: nonbinary virus from space. Uxie: male Mespirit: female Azelf: female Diagla: genderless/sexless Palkia: genderless/sexless Giratina: genderless/sexless Regigas: genderless/sexless Phione: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Manaphy: male. (Since it's the prince of the sea) Darkrai: 50/50 male to female gender ratio Shaymin: female. Arceus: sexless/genderless. Victini: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Cobalion: 87% chance male gender ratio Terrakion: 87% male gender ratio Virizion: 75% female/25% male gender ratio. Zekrom: 87% male gender ratio Reshiram: 75% female/25% male gender ratio Kyurem: genderless/sexless Keldeo: male, probably. Meloetta: female. Genesect: sexless/genderless. It was engineered, so. Xerneas: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Yveltal: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Zygarde: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Diance: female, as it's described as a "princess" in the movie. Hoopa: female. Idk why but Hoopa's always seemed like a mischievous girl to me. Volcanion: 50/50 male to female. Cosmog: sexless/genderless Cosmeom: sexless/genderless Solgaleo: sexless/genderless Lunaala: sexless/genderless Necrozma: sexless/genderless Tapu Koko: male Tapu Lele: female Tapu Fini: female Tapu Bulu: male Magearna: genderless/sexless Marshadow: genderless/sexless. Zeraora: genderless/sexless. Meltan: genderless/sexless Melmetal: genderless/sexless. Zacian: 50/50 male to female gender ratio Zamazenta: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. Eternatus: genderless/sexless. Zarude: 50/50 male to female gender ratio. |

In my personal opinion, it should work as follows:
1. The legends have canonical genders, or gender ratios. 2. They have a "legend status" marker in the code so the daycare is like "uuhhhh this is a myth I will not take it" and thus you cannot breed it. Aside from certain ones like Lugia and such which have been shown to be in quantities greater than one. As for my personal list, (F/M) Articuno = 70/30 Zapdos = 35/35 Moltres = 30/70 Mewtwo = Male Mew = 50/50 Entei = Male Raikou = Male Suicune = Intersex Ho-oh = 25/75 Lugia = 75/25 Celebi = Female Regice = Nil Registeel = Nil Regirock = Nil Groudon = Male Kyogre = Female Rayquaza = Male Jirachi = 50/50 Deoxys = 55/45 Uxie = 95/5 Mesprit = 95/5 Azelf = 95/5 Dialga = Male Palkia = Female Giratina = Female Regigigas = Male Shaymin = 50/50 Darkrai = 40/60 Manaphy = 50/50 Phione = 50/50 Arceus = Male Victini = Male Cobalion = Male Terrakion = Male Virizion = Female The entire forces of nature trio = Male Zekrom = Male Reshiram = Female Kyurem = Male Keldeo = Male Meloetta = Female Genesect = Male Xerneas = Female Yveltal = Male Zygarde = Male Dianice = Female Hoopa = Male Volcanion = 45/55 Cosmog = 100/0, 0/100 (In the respective moon or sun universe.) Cosmoem = 100/0, 0/100 (In the respective moon or sun universe.) Solgaleo = Male Lunala = Female Necrozma = Male |
I remember that in jhoto journeys lugia had a kid she must be a female

My thoughts!
Articuno = Female Zapdos = Male Moltres = Female Mewtwo = Male Mew = Both (Just a species that went extinct) Entei = Male Raikou = Male Suicune = Male Ho-oh = Male Lugia = Female (Had a kid) Celebi = Female Regice = Genderless Registeel - Genderless Regirock = Genderless Groudon = Male Kyogre = Male Rayquaza = Male Jirachi = Male Deoxys = Male Uxie = Female Mesprit = Female Azelf = Female Dialga = Male Palkia = Male Giratina = Female Regigigas = Genderless Shaymin = Both, there is a whole field of them Darkrai = male Manaphy = Male (He’s the prince of the sea) Phione = Female Arceus = Male Victini = Male Cobalion = Male Terrakion = Male Virizion = Female The genies= Male Zekrom = Male Reshiram = Male Kyurem = Male Keldeo = Male Meloetta = Female Genesect = Both cause multiple Xerneas = Female Yveltal = Male Zygarde = Male Diancie = Female Hoopa = Male Volcanion = Male Cosmog = Either Cosmoem = Either Solgaleo = Male Lunala = Female Necrozma = Male |
What a topic! I used to be a big believer in assigning genders to the Legendaries that don't have one, but nowadays I'm not so sure. I'll just jot down the ones I can still think of.
Considering how there are multiples of the Legendary birds (and Lugia in the anime), I honestly think those could be either gender like Heatran. Same for certain Mythicals like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Shaymin, Victini, Marshadow, Zeraora and Zarude - as well as Type: Null and Silvally as artificial creations, and the Ultra Beasts. Meloetta, Diancie and Magearna (at least in personality, because she's an automaton) are always female in my mind, and Mewtwo, Ho-oh, the Legendary Beasts, Rayquaza, the Swords of Justice, Manaphy, Darkrai, Hoopa and Volcanion are always male. The rest, I haven't thought of. Now, there are also a few whom I think are truly genderless, or at least have a gender beyond our understanding. Those would be the Regis, Deoxys, Arceus, Kyurem, Necrozma, Meltan/Melmetal and Eternatus. |
They're asexual due to game mechanics (and maybe lore?) but they can probs be gendered still. It's just that the game doesn't bother differing between sex and gender ^^ Generally I think one can think of the legendary pokémon in whatever way they want, it doesn't really matter. Zekrom might be a badass girl while Reshiram an elegant boi. Or vice versa.

Quote:
In the Gen V games it's presented as truth/ideals since that's a lot easier to make work for a (Pokemon) narrative, but what the Tao trio is really based off of is yin and yang (in the Japanese versions, Zekrom and Reshiram's species names are the Black Yin Pokemon and the White Yang Pokemon). And while yin and yang represent a lot of things, as far as I know two of the things yin represents is femininity and the moon (which in at least two cultures has long been a feminine symbol). Yang represents masculinity and the sun (which in at least two cultures has long been a masculine symbol). but like you said, we're talking about fictional creature pixels and it's not really a big deal what people view each one as, but it's a fun thing to bring up |
Virizion = Female to me.
Tapu Lele & Tapu Fini = Female Tapu Bulu & Tapu Koko = Male Spectrier = Female Glastrier = Male For the rest of the genderless Legendaries idc either way. |
