How are there two Legendary Pokémon of the same species?

Like: How are there two Articunos, Zapdoses and Moltreses? It’s supposed to have only one?

Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres:Brandon in the Hoenn Battle Frontier uses one of each bird, and one of each can also be found nesting in Kanto during the same time period. Three years later, one of each can be found in both Kanto (HG/SS) and Sinnoh. One of each can be found in the Kalos region, and — here’s the big one! — Dana in the Battle Chateau uses one of each. Meaning that at least two members of each of the three legendary bird species lives in Kalos alone.

The existence of regional forms with the Legendary birdsArticuno, Zapdos, and Moltresimplies that a trio separate from Kanto existed in an isolated peripheral population (in this case Galar) and hence formed a new species.

In Pokémon Platinum, the player is able to catchZapdos, and Dahlia has a Zapdos as well.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player is able to catch Entei andZapdos, while Darach also has an Entei and Dahlia also has a Zapdos.

In Pokémon X and Y, the player is able to catch eitherArticuno, Zapdos, or Moltres, while Dana has the complete trio of Legendary birds.

You can also find thelegendary birdsjust FLYING AROUND Kanto in Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee after you catch each of them from there respective locations. Meaning you can have a whole team ofMoltreswithout actually transferring some over from Go, or other Let’s Go’s.

And manyyy more.

Who said there’s only supposed to be one? Plenty of minor legendaries have multiple. You usually onlyfindone.commented 1 day ago by Giga~Blade X

Yep: there are a lot of examples to show that there are more than one Legendary Pokémon of the same species.
