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

[DrFuji]

I used to always take a legendary with me wherever I went in earlier games, but in HG/SS I've found that I'm catching and immediately boxing them. Even after all the trouble I went through to get the three dogs on SS, I haven't touched a single one. I guess they're just going to rot in my second PC box with the likes of my Tropius HM Slave and a million Magnemites with wrong natures.

 

[何贤豪]

Me? I only use my Legendary Pokemon for the Battle Frontier (Zapdos/Articuno), against Red (Mewtwo and some other, I guess) and against the Elite Four (Dialga, Palkia and some others)...
That's how I did it. Only for the flash cart HeartGold, though...
My newest HeartGold (a Game Card one, the real deal)...I'm still loafing around in Violet City, but I plan to kill ALL legendary Pokemon first and re-spawn them when I can. Or...RNG them and catch them as well. But it looks hard...

 

[Hydro Pumper]

All my legendary Pokemon are sitting my "Legendary Pokemon Box" in my PC. I prefer using non-legendary Pokemon in-game. The main reason I caught them was to have their complete Pokedex entry, since my major goal is to complete the National Dex in Soulsilver, like I did in Diamond ages ago. :")

 

[LegendaryZekrom]

Well im in Kanto now getting badges I really havent had the chance to go for the others so right now Im just using HO-OH and he was a big help in the pokemon league. (Bruno + Extrasensory = Easy button) but yea. Oh and I also have my Dragonite that I recieved from the Dragon's Den

 

[Sector]

I love collecting Legendaries and putting them up in my boxes in the PC. Although I have to say, I only use a few. Arceus, Mewtwo, Latias, Latios, Groudon/Kyogre(Depends who else is in party for Weather team).

That's that.

I've collecting every single one of them in SoulSilver and will buy another SoulSilver soon...for double the fun!

 

[BZW Golem]

Most of the legendaries I get just stay boxed, I don't like playing with them >.>

 

[Juzey]

I always seem to use quite a lot of legendaries in-game, and in HG I used Ho-oh, Shaymin, Heatran and Suicune, which I'm pretty sure is the most I've ever used at one time.
The others stay in the PC, though.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

I ended up boxing most of the legendaries I caught in-game but I did end up using Lugia and Zapdos on my team regularly and occasionally Ho-Oh and Latias too but that wasn't very often sadly.

 

[solaris knight]

Back in Gen IV, I used Palkia and Giratina as part of my team. In SS, I used Lugia for the pokémon league. In HG/SS, I used Raikou in the league. In Pearl, I used Mewtwo (holding an Amulet Coin) To sweep the entire league multiple times whenever I felt I needed cash, or to evolve pokémon (through exp. share, of course).

Otherwise they just stay in my pc.

 

[ichachan]

I used Lugia just to help with Elite 4 for the first time. Then he is in the PC forever unless someone wants him for a trade. I just recently added Zapdos into my team and currently training him to beat Red now. Probably will transfer Moltres into the new B/W2. The rest of legendaries stay in the PC box..

 

[Joshawott]

Stored them in a random box for all eternity. I wish I still had the will to use legendaries, but they're just too good and it ruins the fun for me. I played through the entire game at least 20 times and didn't use a legendary once. Maybe I will when I start doing online battles with Black and White 2.

 

[Elite Four Brendan]

I caught every legendary in the game except Latios in Soulsilver and I manage to get level 100 with every pokemon and my team

 

[Unknown#]

In all of the games I'll use the mascot legendary until I beat the Elite 4, then put it in my special "LEGENDARY" box with all of the other legendaries I caught.

 

[spockbass07]
