12 Pokemon Inspired By Real Historical Events

5. Kyogre, Groudon And Rayquaza

Known to fans as the Weather-Trio, these legendary Pokemon serve as the version mascots to the third generation games Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald and their recent remakes Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby. The design and in-game storyline of the Weather-Trio is inspired by an ancient Hebrew legend.

The legend tell of three beasts: the beast of the sea, Leviathan, who is a counterpart to Kyorge, The primal beast of the land, Behemoth, who mirrors Groudon and the beast of the sky, Ziz who matches up with Rayquaza. The Hebrew legend states that these beast would rise up and do battle at the end of the world, much like the Weather-Trio do in the games.
