4th Gen HeartGold / SoulSilver: What did you do with the legendary Pokemon?

    For those who have captured or traded Pokemon for those that are legendary, what did you do with them in HeartGold / SoulSilver?

    I captured Ho-oh using the Master Ball and Articuno using the Ultra Ball and used both for my battles, especially with Red. For Dratini, I trained it until it evolved into Dragonite and kept levelling up until past level 70 for the battle with Red.

    Dragonite and its two predecessors are accepted in this topic.

  • I've caught all of the legendary Pokemon possible in Pokemon Soul Silver. I used Lugia on my main team and it was quite helpful, I caught it with an Ultra Ball because I knew that I would need it for Entei or Raikou which turns out I didn't need it on them (since I caught them with Ultra Balls as well) I used it on Ho-oh.

  • I got Ho Oh, Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Suicune, Kyogre, and Latias in HG and boxed them all. I caught Ho Oh and used him all the way past the last gym in Kanto, then ditched him and completely rebuilt my team for Red. I did get Mewtwo and he became a member of my personal team, and I ended up training him to Lv. 100. In SS, I got Ho Oh, Lugia, Groudon, and Latios. I caught Latios with my Master Ball and left the roaming Johto beasts to do their thing. Once I get a chance to borrow someone's DS, I'll trade them all to HG and get Rayquaza, since I have both Kyogre and Groudon. THEN, I'll trade the Legends of my choice and do a SS solo run with them. Can't wait to get Rayquaza!

  • Caught them all besides Rayquazza - been too lazy to get it or the such I suppose is all what with the whole trading thing. I didn't use any in my team though, not even as HM slaves (unlike how Lugia was usually a main team member/surfer/flyer back in Silver. XD).

  • I got every one except Rayquaza, though I can go get it whenever I happen to be drawn away from LG enough to go after it...

    The whole lot of 'em have seen nothing but PC Box time since their capture.

    Generally, I just box 'em if I feel like catching them, but to be honest, I hardly ever bother with catching the legendaries anymore...

  • I lost my version of HG, so I haven't caught every single one, but every one that I caught I put in my PC in a special box for legendary Pokemon. 8)

    I've caught all of them except for Latias in HeartGold, I plan to EV train the the ones I haven't already EV trained, and trade them to white.

  • I usually play at night so I caught every legendary with a dusk ball. Epic. I don't like using master balls.

  • I finally have Rayquaza and caught Raikou by luck, going after Entei and I'll have every one of them within the two games. Here's all I have so far: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Ho Oh, Lugia, Latias, Latios, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Raikou, Suicune, and Mewtwo. Entei is next.....

    I caught all legendaries in both HG and SS except for Latios and Latias, and Raikou in SS.

  • I caught every one in HG 'cept Rayquaza, and the only one I ever really fought with was Ho-oh. I ended up trading Raikou for... I don't remember what. I used Lugia once, then just kinda forgot about him. My mewtwo was released when I moved all my other pokemon onto White.
