Implicating legendary_pokémon → pokémon
Link to implication

Reason:

Not sure why it doesn't already. It is kinda in the name.

Edit: After posting I noticed that most legendary pokémon also have the tag pokémon with them except for shaymin who only has the legendary pokémon tag.

Yep, they're all already chained through the species tags, so this isn't necessary.

Though, come to think about it, it would've saved quite a few implications if we had just implicated this. Instead of all legendaries one by one.

And I guess the shaymin implication got removed when shaymin_(sky_form) was created. The latter isn't implicated to anything at the moment, those need to be fixed.

Pretty much unnecessary, but +1 anyway as a fallback.

+1 to Genjar's idea: unimplicate individual legendaries from pokemon and instead create a chain.

-1. I believe that "pokémon groups" like eeveelutions, ultra beasts, mega evolutions and legendary/mythical pokémon shouldn't imply 'pokémon'. The reason is fakémon; anyone could create a fan made pokémon that would belong to one of these groups, then post it on e621 (actually this happened many times).

If fakémon don't belong under the pokémon tag, then I believe they shouldn't be tagged as legendary_pokémon either.

Though, honestly, I don't see why fakémon can't be tagged as pokémon, we usually tag the franchise that fan characters originate from so I don't see why not with pokémon either.

Isn't the whole point of a fan character the fact that it didn't originate in the franchise?

The whole point of a fancharacter is if it DID. It's the main reason it's called a FanCharacter afterall. Fan, fanmade, you get the idea.

ORIGINAL characters on the other hand do not originate from any franchise at all.

'fakémon' is an abbreviation of 'fake pokémon', then a "fake" legendary/mythical pokémon is perfectly possible.

Copyright tags are used to things that belong to a specific, well, copyright. Fanmade characters or species do not belong to any copyright, unless the artist also create a new one.

Exactly.

If we're going to be tagging legendary fakemon, we should have a legendary fakémon tag.
