Artwork of nearly all Generation V Pokemon has been revealed via the Pokemon Daisuki Club, the only ones remaining being all event Pokemon and Hihidaruma in it`s Daruma Mode. Below are a few select few Pokemon, specifically the members of two Legendary Trios present in Pokemon Black and White. As a result, spoilers are obviously present, a reason for which the pictures will be placed in a spoiler box:

so, if those bottom 3 are a trio, which they certainly look like it, then why are reshiram and zekerom stuck in the middle of them as far as pokedex# goes?
Look at their numbers..., they're 147, 148, and 151. Reshiram and Zekerom are 149 and 150. WTF? |

Landlos is based off Tsuchijin, which is not actually a classical deity, but a character who sometimes appears in modern media to accompany the other two since it seems like a logical extension of the other two (sky and earth). This is why Landlos is not with Tornelos and Voltolos in Pokedex order and why it has a different ability and stat distribution than the other two. Some fans have been referring to these three as the "Raijin Trio" (including us), but this is incorrect since only Voltolos is based off Raijin (it would be like calling the Kanto Birds the "Zapdos trio"). In mythology, Fuujin and Raijin are alternately portrayed as troublemaking demons (hence their Mischievous Heart ability), or as temple guardians who are so ferocious that they not only ward off evildoers, but scare apathetic people into becoming more devout.
