MBTI, an acronym that stands for "Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator", is a psychological method that is used to determine the type of personality an individual possesses. This is meant to classify different psychological archetypes and is useful in addressing mental health concerns, allows people to learn more about themselves, and also grants the chance to take a fun personality quiz.
Recently, people have begun connecting the 16 different personality types with various characters and creatures from TV shows and video games, as well as in other media. In this regard, people have been able to see which of their favorite figures from fiction match them in terms of personality. As the legendaries in the Pokemon world are equally, if not more, diverse and dynamic than human natures, they are a great group to do such an activity with.
16 INTJ (Architect) - Arceus
As the god of the Pokemon world, there is no better pokemon to represent those who fall under the Architect personality type. Both Arceus and human Architects are creatively minded and deep-thinkers who always have a plan that they continuously work towards.
15 INTP (Logician) - Calyrex
This big-brained Psychic-type pokemon is a great fit for Logicians, as both are innovators with an unquenchable desire for the best and brightest things the world has to offer, particularly knowledge. While humans of this type focus on academic pursuits, Calyrex uses this drive to benefit the world by seeking new and novel methods of communicating with others and increasing crop yields, as well as much more.
14 ENTJ (Commander) - Cobalion
As the leader of the Swords of Justice, which is composed of Cobalion themselves, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo, this stalwart Steel and Fighting-type is an ideal match for Commanders. With great resolve, both are strong-willed and have no qualms about boldly leading others along any path, regardless of challenges.
13 ENTP (Debater) - Mewtwo
Few pokemon are as open to disagreements as Mewtwo, and who can blame them? They were artificially created by greedy humans to be used as a weapon, though have rejected this identity in order to liberate themselves.
In this manner, they fit the Debater archetype very well, as humans in this group are also smart and curious individuals who cannot resist a good mental challenge.
12 INFJ (Advocate) - Celebi
Celebi, the mysterious time-linked guardian of the forest, is a tireless idealist who constantly flits back and forth through timelines. Their goals are always harmless due to their quiet and fun-loving nature, though at times can be a source of inspiration for others. For these reasons, Advocates are likely to heavily relate to this Psychic and Grass-type pokemon.
11 INFP (Mediator) - Cresselia
Focused primarily on aiding and healing others, Cresselia is one of the most gentle and altruistic pokemon in the franchise. They desire above all to aid those in need and their elegant, kind appearance gives off calm and pleasant vibes. Mediators are very much the same, in that they are poetic individuals who are always eager to help a good cause.
10 ENFJ (Protagonist) - Keldeo
Charismatic and inspiring, the ever-energetic and determined Keldeo is a perfect fit for Protagonists. They seek adventure and can influence others by their brave and courageous actions, even unintentionally. People of this group are often the ones to initiate tasks, travels, and adventures, which many are inclined to join.
9 ENFP (Campaigner) - Mew
The constantly cheerful and free-spirited Mew can be seen in many of its video game and anime appearances as a cute goofball who mostly floats around and enjoys making friends.
Campaigners are known to exhibit similar qualities and are always looking to make others smile with their enthusiastic jokes and low-stress vibes.
8 ISTJ (Logistician) - Uxie
As a legendary pokemon that embodies knowledge, Uxie is the best choice to represent the Logisticians. This pokemon, as well as Logisticians, are practical and reliable individuals; Uxie because of their solid defensive stats and the human Logisticians because of their great knowledge and fact-based decision making.
7 ISFJ (Defender) - Ho-Oh
While Fire-type pokemon are more known for their power and aggression, the legendary bird Ho-Oh instead borrows many elements from phoenixes of real-world mythologies and represents the purifying properties of fire as well as rebirth. Ho-Oh has been known to use their powers in order to resurrect fallen pokemon and protect them from demise, which makes them an excellent MBTI proxy for Defenders, who always aim to protect and heal those who need it.
6 ESTJ (Executive) - Rayquaza
As one of the very few trio leaders who are themselves in a legendary trio, Rayquaza is unique in that it must quell the conflict between its trio partners Groudon and Kyogre, lest they rip the world apart. Because of their exemplary management skills when dealing with their mighty comrades, Rayquaza embodies the qualities of Executives very well, for they are also nearly unmatched in handling conflicts and sorting out people's problems.
5 ESFJ (Consul) - Mesprit
Consul people are popular, social, and very caring; they are always willing to help out. Regardless of the situation, they always find time to aid those who mean the most to them.
As such, the emotion pokemon known as Mesprit is the legendary pocket monster that fits this role the best, as they are always seen putting the feelings of others ahead of their own needs.
4 ISTP (Virtuoso) - Genesect
Those of the Virtuoso group are bold and practical individuals who are great at using pretty much any tool to get their desired task done. This matches the traits of the versatile and powerful Bug and Steel-type legendary Genesect. With their multiple drives, they can be an excellent fit for any team and will usually accomplish their trainer's goals easily.
3 ISFP (Adventurer) - Type: Null
Charming and flexible, Adventurers are always exploring and looking to experience new things. Type: Null, as a pokemon with very well-rounded stats, is a versatile pocket monster who seeks to become whole and harness their true power. Their drive to become better and that they evolve only after obtaining a strong friendship with their trainer makes this Normal-type an ideal representation for Adventurers.
2 ESTP (Entrepreneur) - Deoxys
When it comes to living on the edge, Entrepreneurs are the more fearless. They rely on their intelligence, perception, and vast well of energy to take to any task or adventure without worrying about anything. Much in the same way, Deoxys uses their high Special Attack stat and great movepool to see their trainer's will done. Furthermore, cruising around outer space is about as much as one can possibly live on the edge.
1 ESFP (Entertainer) - Regieleki
Through their dynamic nature and their idle animation where they are constantly hopping about excitedly, Regieleki is the most suitable legendary pokemon persona for Entertainers. Spontaneous and enthusiastic, Entertainers are always the life of the party, much like how Regieleki is usually the most electrifying member of their trainer's party. Things are never dull when they are around.
