Legends
 
I'm not if this is in the right forum but is it good to have a team with 4 or 5 legendaries.

Not unless you want to be frowned upon by almost every serious battler on Pokecommunity. 1 legend is the maximum most people will use, and they cannot be Uber. In Uber, you can use all legends + Wobboffet, but only there.

Depends what you mean by legendaries. Some legendaries are Ubers, and these are not appropriate for Standard play - but many legendaries aren't Uber, and they're fine. Legends like Heatran, Cresselia and Azelf all see plenty of play.

However, not all legends are the best Pokemon out there - guys like Moltres and Entei aren't even particularly good. Furthermore, you have much less control of getting an optimal legendary - you can't control its nature or IVs (well, you can control its nature to an extent if you use a synchroniser and are prepared to SR, but that's time-consuming, requires preparation, and has limited effectiveness compared to breeding).

So, basically, legends aren't intrinsically the best Pokes, although the best Pokes are generally legends. If you can build a balanced team out of 4 or 5 legendaries that aren't uber, it's fine, but honestly you're probably better off taking a closer look at the stronger non-legendary Pokes first.

Like people have said, there are several legends calle ubers which should only ever be used in their own tier for the purposes of fairness. I personally like an uber battle every so often, but yeah only use non-uber legends on your team unless you have the opponents express permission.

Yeah that would be an uber team, Im currently re-doing my uber team so ill post that in a bit :)

Basically, when a person uses Ubers on their team, it is viewed that they have to in order to compensate for a lack of skill.

Yes, that is right. That is the common view on a person that'll fight to the death to break the uber clause.
