Legendary Pioneer Yo-kai

also known as Legendary VIP Yo-kai in the TV series are a special class of Legendary Yo-kai debuting in Yo-kai Watch 3 who were originally famous people before their death. They seem to all have things to do with American history.

Similar to the Merican Legendary Yo-kai, these Yo-kai must be befriended in the overworld. To trigger their encounters, the player must read a book about each of them for five days, after which they will appear before the player and encourage him/her to locate them in select locations in BBQ. They can be battled once a day until befriended.
