Mythicals aren't necessary to complete the National Dex

At the time of writing, certain Mythical Pokemon such as Celebi, Deoxys, Darkrai, and Arceus are still unobtainable in BDSP. Thankfully they don't count towards the completion of the National Dex.

The same holds true for other Mythical Pokemon such as Mew, Jirachi, or Manaphy. If you missed out on getting these Pokemon, you'll still be able to complete your National Dex.
