Your favourite Legendary
 
Who is your favourite legendary pokemon in the 3rd Gen and why? Mine is Zapdos because he was the first legendary i ever caught and he looks cool.

inferno7453 April 5th, 2013 12:59 PM

Rayquaza. Do I even need to say why? HE IS AWESOME! The shiny palette then? OMFG, the best I've seen. He started the Dragon-type legendary Pokémon series which hasn't ended since then. He has the main role in the games, stopping Kyogre and Groudon, and well, he's just my favorite legendary (except for Lugia, whom I'm not counting because I'm only considering non-event legendaries).

Cossolotto32 April 5th, 2013 1:52 PM

Up to third gen? I'm gonna go with Raikou or Articuno. I think Raikou has a really cool design to him, and Articuno has just...a mystical beautiful look goin' for him.

Sunbean April 5th, 2013 2:36 PM

Definitley Jirachi! Because it has the best legend potential, imo. I feel like you can do a lot with its backstory.

pikachu4249 April 5th, 2013 8:18 PM

Your favourite Legendary
 
Latios and Latias I can't tell them apart or which is which.

Diversion April 6th, 2013 12:20 AM

I think I'm going with both Latios and Latias or Rayquaza.
Well I'm going with Rayquaza anyway. It's the first legendary I caught in that generation.

Palkia April 6th, 2013 1:02 AM

I guess this is for only 3rd generation legendaries.

If so, I probably go with Rayquaza. It's a very powerful dragon Pokemon with one of the best shiny forms in the entire series. Plus, he makes the elite 4 a breeze in Emerald.

Sarah Morgan April 6th, 2013 1:04 AM

Deoyx I think that, pokemon concept was awesome.

Elaitenstile April 6th, 2013 1:56 AM

Kyogre, cause no one beats water whale-ogres!

Also, I happen to love water types.

Sylveon April 6th, 2013 2:14 AM

Jirachi, I like the fact it can grant wishes. Also like the look too :)

Megan April 6th, 2013 2:23 AM

There are quite some I like. Rayquaza is really cool and in emerald it destroys the E4. Also cool are Jirachi and Regice (even if I've never used him). Unfortunately getting Jirachi is impossible for me...

Kikaito plush April 6th, 2013 2:44 AM

It is between Jirachi,Groudon and Deoxys.

I think I will go for Jirachi as it has an unique typing Steel/Psychic and today it is the only legend with that typing.

Hikamaru April 6th, 2013 2:46 AM

My fave Hoenn Legendaries would have to be Jirachi and the Lati's.

I love their designs and I do tend to love Psychic-type Legendaries a lot.

Brendino April 6th, 2013 11:49 PM

Even though I'm assuming that our favorite legendary just has to be available in the 3rd gen games and not restricted to Hoenn, I'm still going with Rayquaza as my favorite. It's one of the few legendaries that I actually found myself using, partly because of it's unique design, and the other half because of it's part-Dragon typing. Also, it's hard to argue how awesome it's shiny version looks.

wonka1 April 7th, 2013 2:03 PM

Mine is Rayquaza!
He is AWESOME!

Alexander Nicholi April 7th, 2013 6:18 PM

Definitely Rayquaza. Dragon/Flying with Air Lock, and learns an HM via level up? How could I not? XD

ABGamer April 9th, 2013 5:22 AM

RAYQUAZA, it's a massive dragon being able to stop two titans just by roaring, plus it looks so awesome as a shiny

Anszkz.DkLt May 3rd, 2013 3:55 PM

I'd go with Rayquaza.. I used him to single handedly defeat the Elite 4 with a well delivered O.H.K.Os eaxh.. And that's even considering the type-disadvantage that a few pokemon presented like Glailie being able to kill me in one shot with something I can't remember

Demon Days May 3rd, 2013 6:34 PM

Rayquaza, along with being my favorite Pokémon in general. It just has this appearance that just suggests... well, everything to you. It has a menacing, mystic look, and the colour palette it has adds a lot to its design. It also has a great selection of moves to choose from, and no other legendary can beat it in terms of nearly everything (apart from stats/moves, but that's a different story).

So, yes, definitely Rayquaza.

Pikayosh May 3rd, 2013 8:17 PM

Groudon is my favorite (he's my favorite legendary anyway) He has a great selection of moves and he's my 2nd favorite color he can beat almost anything including the elite 4 by himself he's just Epic! And also he was my first Legendary and my first Pokemon Game Plus his Shiny form is Also Epic!

Golden Warrior May 3rd, 2013 10:03 PM

I have to choose between Kyogre and Registeel. Registeel had amazing defense and made a good member of my team for a short time. But, Kyogre takes the cake. Why? He can obliterate any other third generation legendary. Teach him ice beam, Rayquaza is down. Teach him any water move, there goes Groudon, Regirock, and Jirachi pretty easily. Teach him Brick Break, everything else goes down. Also, he only has two weaknesses and neither of them go above affecting him x2.

Hm... He might be my favorite legendary of all time now that I think about it. He's just overall amazing.

Aether★ May 3rd, 2013 10:38 PM

Articuno, I like his appearance mostly and he was the only legendary Pokemon I used in my team and trained to 100. Extremely useful with his sheer cold.

Oh 3rd gen as not 3rd gen games but Pokemon? I don't like any of them at all, but Rayquaza is mostly useful, so I'll go with him.

Sydian May 4th, 2013 11:49 AM

Although FRLG are 3rd gen games, I consider those Pokemon gen I Pokemon, so I'm only considering those introduced in gen III. Anyway, my favorite is Regice. I love that trio in general, I love its cry, and I love the way you get it. Well...waiting is a bit of a nag, but at least that was changed in Emerald. It's also got a nice shiny color!

Seth Rollins May 4th, 2013 11:55 AM

My fav legendary of Gen 3 is Rayquaza ofc! Its the strongest, I like its cry and it helps my team alot. Like, A LOT.

Bumfluff1202 May 4th, 2013 12:18 PM

Rayquaza gets my vote, it's so awesome, had it at lv. 100, dragon claw = win!

Sanguine May 8th, 2013 8:07 AM

Eh, I loved Jirachi, its design was absolutely amazing <3

I'd say Rayquaza too, but I didn't like how you could get it in Emerald and spam Outrage on the E4 :3

Amore May 8th, 2013 8:22 AM

Definitely Latios. He's the only roaming legendary I've managed to catch without a Master Ball outside of HeartGold (where Fast Balls get Raikou).
Also one of the coolest looking, with pretty good typing and class moves (Dragon Claw and Psychic mainly). And he was my first special pokémon card.

alisaie May 8th, 2013 8:44 AM

I'm never too sure who my favorite Legendary is from Hoenn. At one point it was Latias, then Latios, then Jirachi, then Rayquaza. But if I had to pick one right this instant I think I would have to choose [email protected] And I definitely blame Pokemon Heroes for it. Though Jirachi is a reaaally close second/third if not actually my favorite (okay who knows) also because of the movie.

Sheep May 11th, 2013 11:50 AM

The Latis, Jirachi, and Zapdos. Probably Zapdos the most because of how immensely helpful he was at beating the Elite Four when I was stuck in LeafGreen. <3; If we're talking only Hoenn legends, though, then I'll have to say Latias because of its strength and adorable back sprite.

lmcde22 May 12th, 2013 5:06 PM

Latios and Latias were two of my favourites because they had well-rounded stats and were very useful in double battles together.

vaporeon7 May 14th, 2013 1:21 AM

Rayquaza is my favourite legendary Pokémon of all time. I just love its appearance and I love using it in battle. The amount of times I have soloed the E4 with it...

Mr. Black May 18th, 2013 11:25 AM

Deoxys... by far my favorite Legendary because it was a nearly secret pokemon.
I remember running like crazy (sometime in the summer of 2007)in a nearby game store which held the event for the aurora ticket ( the only nintendo event that ever happened in Greece ) and when i got to birth island...UNREAL dude !

WalkPokeThrough May 30th, 2013 1:14 PM

mine is moltres i guess :D

Dangelitus May 30th, 2013 1:24 PM

I'm go with the most. Rayquaza

He reminds me Shen long from Dragon Ball; and he control groudon and kyogre.

Besides looks like the dragon asian version.

Creame May 30th, 2013 1:39 PM

Since Sapphire was my first Pokémon game, I was obsessed with Kyogre! The second Pokémon I ever levelled all the way to 100! Besides I managed to catch it with a single Great Ball! I have transferred that Kyogre ever since and it's now on my White 2 storage box! Not as my favourite legendary anymore, but at that point in life it was!

GoldMalik May 31st, 2013 9:43 AM

Articuno. Easily. She is beautiful and just captivates me.

JawDane June 1st, 2013 4:47 AM

Rayquaza is definitely beast.

Doccit June 1st, 2013 11:39 AM

I love ho-oh. Have ever since it came out. And sacred fire is the most awesome signature move that there is.

mizterdekazy June 5th, 2013 10:49 AM

**Mewtwo and Articuno**
the two I have been using since I have beaten FR/LG
and they both just.. catch my attention more than others do.

tnfsf11 June 10th, 2013 1:22 PM

I assume the thread is about Legendaries that were introduced in 3rd gen?
My most favorite would be Rayquaza, followed by Groudon, all the others' designs just suck imo, I mean look at the Regis... Also I dunno why I feel that Jirachi is like the deformed brother of Victini, he was the first to have these "ribbons" made of flesh before Ninfia made it cool :P

And Rayquaza actually had a job, instead of fighting like them d-bags Groudon & Kyogre he stops their cockfight & puts them where they belong! Also he's the first ever Dragon legendary! More points for Ray ^^

Ahri June 11th, 2013 12:02 AM

I totally love Latias ^-^ She's so cute and plain awesome!
Latios is nice too, but still xD

Sargas006 June 11th, 2013 2:08 PM

My favourite is Rayquaza because is master in Weather trio

Daixtey June 12th, 2013 11:41 AM

For me Its simply Rayquaza bcause of various reasons, the two main ones are that his design was the best of the legendarys. And the second one is that he is like the most important in the legendary trio of the 3rd gen.

SetheKing June 12th, 2013 12:02 PM

Rayquaza. Especially his Shiny form. The black and yellow just look perfect. Plus he's so strong that he's got Groudon and Kyogre shaking in fear. You know you're powerful and awesome when two creatures capable of changing the climate (and possibly destroying parts of the world) take orders from you.

Day Tripper June 12th, 2013 10:12 PM

Kyogre. Because water legendaries are the best. And he goes super saiyan

Tide June 12th, 2013 11:26 PM

I would say Zapdos is not only my favorite legendary in third gen', but my favorite legendary ever. Not only does it have a cool design, but it is the best equipped in terms of typing compared to the other two legendary birds.

✯Shigeru✯ June 13th, 2013 12:00 PM

It'd either have to be Rayquaza or Registeel. I say Rayquaza because it's green (my favorite color) and also the first dragon type legendary. The reason I like Registeel is because...well it's a robot, golem thing and has a really epic cry.

Fernando Torres June 13th, 2013 1:39 PM

I love Deoxys. It's cry is so wondrous and luminous. I love it's battle theme and it looks amazing. Deoxys has 4 formes, which means 4 different ways to use one Pokèmon. It's based off of Deoxyribonulcleic acid or DNA, the very thing that make us human! It's the definite alien of the Pokèmon series, and my favorite legendary from third gen, and of all time. It's also my second favorite, #1 is Mudkip.

PokemonComposer June 16th, 2013 6:28 AM

Kyogre is just shrouded in coolness, but still I don't think he's really so powerful in stats, or maybe I just always got low IV version.

TheYellowPixel June 18th, 2013 1:24 PM

Rayquaza because it is a badass looking pokemon. Second would have to go to the Regi's, only because i found them legit without cheating. I actually had a braile homework assignment that i used to translate the text. lol

DodoScott June 19th, 2013 1:37 PM

Mew. Mew is epic. Words cannot describe how much I love Mew, but I'll try:

Mew can learn every move, all it does is bounce around and being joyous. Also, it's pink and cute. Admit it, this little pink Pokemon is epic, and cute. Even you, manly man. I was overjoyed when I got the Mew event.

Mew.

Regards, 'Dodo' Scott C.

Pepster98 June 19th, 2013 2:18 PM

Latias and Latios. They Have a really good move set and are just plain awsome.

Espeon20 June 19th, 2013 2:54 PM

Latias and Rayquaza. I like Latias simply because she's adorable, and Rayquaza is just an amazing Pokemon :D

ikkiXY June 25th, 2013 11:50 PM

Mine's Rayquaza. It's an all-rounder, IMHO.

Khoshi June 26th, 2013 12:35 AM

I really like Deoxys.
Those different forms it gets makes it a really flexible Pokemon. Also, it's origin is nice, it being born from meteorites that arrived from space.

Well it isn't called a DNA Pokemon for nothing. xD

DraconianWing June 27th, 2013 1:31 PM

My favourite would be Rayquaza, probably because he reminds me of when I first played Pokémon. And also because of my love for Dragon type Pokémon :D

gSpartan150 June 28th, 2013 10:21 AM

I like Kyogre. I like his moves, sprites, etc., etc.

T!M June 28th, 2013 12:19 PM

Deoxys, defense forme specifically.

XeroNos June 29th, 2013 12:10 AM

Latios was my all time favorite and I always love it's typings as well as it's beautiful design

xGal June 29th, 2013 7:03 AM

Kyogre. I just spammed Sheer Colds at the E-4 (Elixirs either, on my Kyogre) and unlike Groudon's fissure, it also hits Flying types.

SoraTheTruth June 29th, 2013 10:39 PM

Lugia
Rayquayza
Latios

Rizardon June 30th, 2013 4:02 AM

Latios, Groundon or Rayquaza such awesome looking legendaries

Sableye~ June 30th, 2013 12:31 PM

Rayquaza and Latias, off the top of my head.
Specifically shiny Rayquaza.

Edit:
@[email protected]
Someone else had the same answer that I did...

mrcoolbro July 1st, 2013 8:01 AM

My fav. is definitely Groudon because his drought ability combined with solar beam makes him awesome!

sleds July 1st, 2013 6:14 PM

Your favourite Legendary
 
I guess I'll jump on the band wagon and say Rayquaza. Favorite legendary of all time. He makes the E4 super easy and his design is the best of all!

Altair July 1st, 2013 7:31 PM

Rayquaza sure gets mentioned a lot here, as I would have expected haha, it also happens to be my favorite legendary in 3rd Gen. I found it so difficult to catch, but after that, whatever stood in it's way, it finished.

Nomine July 1st, 2013 8:14 PM

Would it be funny if I said that Rayquaza was my favorite legendary also? His design and cry are just... epic.
