Bug: The most abundant source of life on the planet, insects represent the free spirit of life with one's soul. It is once said that they might have been the first creatures to emerge on the planet after Arceus formed it. They are, however, much more fragile than the Lords.

NOTES
(1) Ho-oh & Moltres are still argued by experts to this day if they should be placed in the Lord/Dragon category due to their mastery over Air and Fire. However, most accept Moltres in Fire due that it is its primary element associated, and Ho-oh in the Air due to its title of 'Lord of the Skies'.
(2) Meloetta is a Legendary that appears to be able to switch forms, but still posses the heart in both cases. One form concentrates more on the soul, the other on fighting. The heart is associated with it due to its ability to inspire human and Pokemon kind with its songs.
(3) Lugia also presents similar problems; many debates considering its title - Guardian of the Seas - if it should be placed in the Water, Lord, Air or Psychic element. This is further complicated with legends that say its powers can cause it to create storms with just the flap of its wings. However, due to its strong powers of the Psychic/Soul, it will be usually found listed under this category. Each Dojo differs in how it places the Legendary Creature.
(4) Victini is unique in that it represents the Grandest part of the Soul, fueled with the burning desire of fire and passion. Many have considered it the Pokemon of Victory and the Soul Itself. This is why it shows up in both Fire and Heart elements.
(5) While also a Steel Pokemon, Jirachi's ability to grant wishes has many Masters placing it in the Heart element.
(6) We understand that Genosect is considered a Legendary Bug, but because of its death millions of years ago, it is sometimes refused as a true representative of the element.
