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

[NinjaPawniard]

When I was playing, I usually had one or two legendaries in my party, most of the time it was Darkrai.

 

[Sap Sipper]

Challenge myself by vowing to catch them in ordinary PokéBalls, succeed, and then either leave them in the PC or trade them away for Wobbuffets.

 

[Shiny Celebi]

Ive caught 2 legendaries in Soul Silver and they are both in my party right now. I used Lugia for the Elite 4 and some of the gyms in Kanto and just caught Ho-oh, not sure what I'll do with it though.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

My strategy for legendaries isn't really a strategy; it's either catch-and-box or faint-and-walk-away. With regards to SoulSilver, Latios and Suicune are resting in the PC, gathering lots of dust as I type this message.

 

[Ho-Oh]

I captured every legendary available in the game except Groudon/Rayquaza. I also got someone to trade forward/trade back so I could also get a Dialga from the Arceus in-game event. :3

Either way, all are boxed, in a very special legendaries box! :)

 

[Ciax]

I don't use legendaries in-game so I caught all of them and boxed them. I took them out to see what their sprite was and how they looked following me. But then put them right back where they belonged. In the PC :D

 

[miltankRancher]

i was running a bug monotype in HG, but I caught Ho-oh with the master ball just for the heck of it.

 

[Vena Sera]

If they're good IV/nature wise, I'll use them for in game stuff. I had a Modest Dialga in Diamond, and I destroyed everything with it. My adamant Darkrai, however, became GTS fodder.

I've only caught Lugia and Entei thus far in SoulSilver, and they're both used fairly regularly in my team. Lugia especially, 'cause I love it :3 I feel like a boss having it follow me around :laugh:

 

[FrostPheonix]

I caught all of them that were available, except events and groudon, but only used lugia and latios.

 

[Dave666]

Just Catch them and box them, i just catch them to fill pokedex entries

 

[Killjoy]

I hate using Legendary's, so I box em. They just kill the game for me a lil bit

 

[Klave]

I use Lugia in my team since I don't like a lot of other flying types available in the game and I like it following me around. :D

 

[ThorCat]

Raikou and I kick some Team Rocket butt and The Gym Leaders too!

 

[JollyRoger25]

I don't use them for anything, I just catch'em and box'em. Simple, I just think that they're kinda unfair to use for anything.

 

[90210]

For my newest game play, I kill them all just so that I can RNG them later

 

[Seki]

Catch them for Pokedex entries and box them afterwards.

 

[Spades Slick]

I just killed the ones that were needed to progress the game play (if there were some, I haven't played it in some time), and either fled or avoided the others

 

[Nick]

Caught Lugia with an Ultra Ball and put him in a box where he remains to this day. I don't really use them on my team since I hate it when those noobs online decide to use a legendary only team. It just holds some stigma to it for me to even consider having a legendary on my main team. Never even bothered with Ho-Oh. I do try to catch the roaming Pokémon, but their fate ends up the same: in the box. Still trying to get Entai.

 

[vizarod]

Well, I usually keep the main legendary in my party, but the rest of the legendaries I box and never use. I'm more of a pokemon collector than a battler.
