What makes a Pokémon pseudo-legendary?
A pseudo-legendary meets three conditions: a base stat total of exactly 600, a three-stage evolution line, and no Legendary designation. The 10 species on this page all clear that bar, which is why they read as some of the strongest non-Legendary Pokémon of their generations.
It is worth stressing that pseudo-legendary is a community term, not an official one. The Pokémon Company does not use the label, but the 600-stat, three-stage pattern is consistent enough that fans have used it for decades. Every pseudo-legendary is also fully breedable and catchable, unlike most Legendaries.
Pseudo-legendary vs Legendary
The difference is what the label means. Legendary is an official designation from The Pokémon Company tied to a species' rarity and role in the story, while pseudo-legendary is a fan term for a powerful ordinary Pokémon. In practice, pseudo-legendaries can be bred and caught normally, whereas Legendaries are usually one-of-a-kind and cannot breed. See the official list on the Legendary Pokémon page.
