Favourite 4th Generation Legendary
 
Whats your favourite 4th gen legendary and why? I think the 4th gens are awesome.

M-Sanji January 8th, 2014 8:55 PM

Drakrai | This pokemon is insanely awesome because of the power of ghost :)
Dialga | This pokemon has a good demands and one of most powerful pokemon in the universe.

curiousnathan January 8th, 2014 9:12 PM

Oh wow, I can't believe I didn't respond to this earlier.

WELL, my favourite legendary (or should I say legendaries) at the moment would be Entei, Suicune and Raiku as well as Ho-oh and Lugia. They're such enchanting and mystic Pokemon that I just can't help loving them.

Deceit January 8th, 2014 10:49 PM

Wait is this like 4th generation Pokemon(DPP), or from any games in the 4th gen? Meh, whatever.

From the 4th Gen itself: I really like Darkrai, not just because of its design but because of its mysterious background and event (that locked house in Canalave City always bugged me). Another favorite is Heatran, because of its unique typing and capabilities in battle.

From other 4th gen games: As said before, I really like Ho-oh because of its great design. Although Lugia is very close too, I love both of them. As for the legendary dogs, I prefer Raikou as its the one I remember using a lot in previous games, so I eventually formed a bond with it.

Chr. Draco January 10th, 2014 4:35 PM

MY favorite 4th legendary is Dialga, I simply like that dragon pokemon, with an interesting type and moveset. (also both colorations).

blue January 10th, 2014 4:41 PM

There is a lot to choose from, but my favourite three of Sinnoh are Dialga, Palkia and Cresselia. The fourth generation definitely introduced some awesome legendary Pokémon, maybe a little too many but they're still pretty cool.

ObnoxiousOboe January 10th, 2014 7:20 PM

My favorite legendaries from the Gen 4 games are Dialga, Regigas, Ho-oh, Suicune, and Celebi.

The legendary music for both game series are something else. The legendary beast music for Gen 2/4 is one of my favorite video game pieces.

AluminiumOxide January 11th, 2014 9:43 PM

Dialgia, Arcues, And every legendary but actually Dialgia is in first. Because of its unique design shape and history it can control the time. And also had a great entrance in Diamond in the sky piller event.

Hikamaru January 11th, 2014 10:11 PM

Dialga is my fave overall 4th Gen Legendary, like many have already mentioned. I love its blue color scheme and it has a pretty cool type combination as well, which I recall off the top of my head has just two weaknesses. Its Roar of Time is even more beautiful in the anime.

Pendraflare January 11th, 2014 10:20 PM

Palkia, surely. I've always thought it looked coolest of the three, and Spacial Rend is such a rad move visually.

Meganium January 12th, 2014 8:40 PM

I'm a huge fan of the Lake Trio Pokemon, Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit. Those are like, the only legendaries that I like in 4th generation alone. :x

Evening January 12th, 2014 11:18 PM

I like all of them but my favorite has got to be Giratina and Heatran

Giratina - Banished because of its violence... Cool.
Heatran - Good typing, looks good. In Lumiose City Jaune Plaza, two people were talking about rumors of a Lava Dome Pokemon in the said plaza.

Silhouette January 15th, 2014 11:23 AM

Heatran and Giratina are pretty cool. I like that a lot of the legendaries in D/P/Pt aren't necessarily ubers, like Regigigas and Heatran. But I think I like Azelf the most. Nothing like using Explosion with a little elf thing.

CelticsPhan January 15th, 2014 4:58 PM

Favorite Uber Legendary: Dialga
Favorite Non-Uber Legendary: Azelf

Dialga is a really cool Legendary. It looks so chiseled and ancient. The design fits its description as a "deity" Pokemon because of its statue-like appearance. It is sharp in design and in battle. Dialga is a perfect Steel/Dragon mix, the two most overpowered types in the metagame. This Legendary holds its own in Ubers because of that typing, defense and attack power. A deadly combination.

Azelf is one of my favorites not only as a Legendary. Its design is a lot simpler than Dialga, Palkia or Giratina. Azelf is in deep contrast to most Pokemon added in Gen 4, which were edgy, intimidating and almost overdesigned. Just a simple fairy-like Pokemon which appears harmless. Don't be fooled by its looks! Azelf is a fantastic Special Attacker with excellent Speed (125 and 120 base in each!).

Azelf was the most popular lead Pokemon in the Gen 4 metagame because of its great Speed and the strategies you could use with it. My favorite is the Stealth Rock/Taunt combo, which almost guarantees a successful set-up and possibly one faint. I had one and everyone else had one. Its Shiny is pretty cool too- an orangish body with a lighter shade of blue mixed in.

It's a coincidence that my favorite Legendaries are capable in battle.

Venitardus January 15th, 2014 8:41 PM

Giratina and Mesprit.
Giratina because it is the only one with the typing Ghost/Dragon, and because I love it's design. It's strong too.
Mesprit is my favorite of the 3 lake legendaries. I prefer it's design more then the others, and the only one that I actually ares about training.

Brendino January 16th, 2014 1:36 AM

Not so much for its design, but I love both the typing and moveset of Giratina. If I used legendary Pokemon more often, I wouldn't be surprised if a Giratina found its way into my party.

Aside from Giratina, I liked the Lake trio, Cresselia and Shaymin as well. As for the legendaries of HG/SS, both Ho-oh and Lugia are up there in my favorites as well, wtih the slight edge between those two going to Lugia.

Lost Lore January 16th, 2014 10:58 AM

Darkrai, because of its typing and design. The whole putting things to sleep/giving them nightmares thing is pretty cool, too. (Not that you'd be saying such if you were on the receiving end, I'd say...)

Giratina sits in second place because how anyone could think a giant skeletal spectral dragon that is said to appear in a graveyard in another dimension isn't awesome is beyond me.

Sheep January 18th, 2014 9:18 AM

Ho-Oh forever go! I've always loved its history and the design is pretty beautiful, very fitting for a legend.

Puddle January 18th, 2014 9:24 AM

Dialga was the main legendary Pokemon that I got when I had Diamond and I wrecked with it. I didn't really like the 3 little things. (Azluf, Luxie and that other one). I also like Blue, so it was definitely a cool Pokemon for me to use.

AluminiumOxide January 19th, 2014 12:31 AM

Why didn't i see this thread earlier ? I was just looking for something like this. My favorite legendaries are - Ho oh, Lugia, Arcues, Dialgia, Darkry, Entei, Zapdos, Molters, Girantia

I am ashamed of mysel that i didn't catch all of them. I hope one day i will. :P

Edit : Opps look like i already posted here long time ago. Anyways i shared my feelings again :P

Astraea January 19th, 2014 4:40 AM

My favourite 4th gen legendary is Arceus! I also like girantana, dialga.

I didn't knew about them but learned about them after i finished both diamond and pearl game!

Hiatus January 20th, 2014 2:42 PM

My favorite 4th-gen legendary is Giratina--specifically the origin form. Dialga would be my second favorite. I would have mentioned Lugia somewhere in here, but technically, it's from generation two. xD"

Shrew January 29th, 2014 7:26 PM

Despite Sinnoh being one of my favorite regions, its legendaries are my least favorites. Shaymin is probably the only legendary I like from Sinnoh, and I like it a lot. :)

Astraea January 29th, 2014 8:47 PM

The coolest Legendary in my Eyes is Dialga:-

MegaTyphlosion January 30th, 2014 9:13 PM

Definatley Dialga. Diamond was the first genIV game I played and my friend had Pearl. He once said "Why did you get Diamond? You know Palkia's better than Dialga right?" So I said "Ok then, we'll battle 1 on 1." His Spacial Rend does less than half my Dialga's HP while I hit him with a Roar of Time and he goes down immediatley. Neither of us actually knew much about either legendary back then sice the games were brand new, so we didn't know each others type or special moves or anything so he thought his Spacial Rend would be super effective.

Sniper January 30th, 2014 9:21 PM

Probably Giratina because of its downside world and type. Also its design.

Homura Akemi February 1st, 2014 5:53 AM

Giratina.

For one, Ghost/Dragon. Amazing typing to me, it's innovative. Spooky scales ftw.

Its design's new, being some creepy centipede thingy with wings and horns and such, with Origin forme has a more serpentine body, with the wings becoming claw thingies.

Blastcore February 1st, 2014 5:58 AM

Giratina. Seriously, I really like its design.

Aashutosh Kumar February 1st, 2014 6:04 AM

For Some reason My Favourite Legendary of 4th Gen is Lugia!

Nex February 8th, 2014 3:20 PM

Girantina (Origin Form)because it looks
awesome

pastel_fallout February 15th, 2014 3:06 PM

I like Darkrai and Cresselia.

I also like Raikou and Suicune.

What a great selection!

Any particular reason why you like this bunch? Is it because of their appearance, battle capability, move pool etc?

Zorogami February 19th, 2014 5:36 AM

Design-wise i love how Dialga looks, since its not your standart dragon look. Idea-wise i love both Giratina since he is a GHOST Dragon that reign over the dark world, and darkrai, who embodies nightmares.

Radiam February 19th, 2014 11:59 AM

The best designed Legendary Pokemon from Generation 4 is Giratina Origin Forme. Don't get me wrong, the Altered Forme still looks great, but I like the Origin Forme better. It looks like a darker Pokemon, which is what I like about it. It also has some nice color selections going on, and the model of it looks great. The second best designed Legendary from Generation 4 is Cresselia. It looks magnificent and very majestic. I can't tell what it looks like, but it's pretty darn cute.

In battles, Arceus is one of my favorites to use. It's stats are so balanced and they are not bad stats either. The moves that it learns could be better, but when you teach it some TMs, it will be your best friend. It can learn a lot of TMs so that makes up for it not learning a lot of moves from levelling up. The Multitype ability can be pretty handy as well, since you can change its type when you make it hold a certain plate. Judgement, a move Arceus can learn, also changes type depending on the plate it holds which means it gets STAB.

AoTora March 14th, 2014 1:56 PM

Palkia and Dialga are my favourites <3 I love their designs and I love their typings aswell :3

Kotetsu March 15th, 2014 8:56 AM

My favorite Gen 4 legendary is Palkia. I like the design, its cry in the anime is amazingly cool and it's very good in battles too.

Kikaito plush March 15th, 2014 9:13 AM

Darkrai because it has an badass design and has an cool ability

Judge Mandolore Shepard March 16th, 2014 4:16 PM

When it comes the Legendary Pokemon that were introduced in the fourth gen, these ones are my favorites:
Dialga - It has the power to control time which is awesome
Giratina - I like the fact that it has more than one forme
Darkrai - The fact it can create nightmares can make it useful for dealing with enemies
Regigigas - It is the trio master of the Regis, so it is awesome

Rizardon March 17th, 2014 5:05 AM

To be honest... I do like the 4th gen Trio mascots (Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina) and Arceus. I really can't decide on which one I want to choose but I guess I'll go with Arceus.

Eevee March 28th, 2014 7:15 AM

I'm gunna be going with Manaphy for this one. Its so adorable! <33

Lunarose March 28th, 2014 7:23 AM

I really like Cresselia the best. Shaymin is adorable too. I'm not a huge fan of Sinnoh legendaries though.

mangamusicfan March 28th, 2014 12:00 PM

Drakei His Design, is really Awesome!

Livewire April 2nd, 2014 11:06 AM

In HGSS, my favorite is Raikou, without a doubt. One of the best designed legends, in my opinion! Now, in DPPT, I really like Darkrai the most. It has a cool, sinister design fitting a Dark type/boogieman-looking Pokemon, and it's incredibly powerful and fast. And Dark Void is one of the coolest sounding attacks too, haha.

Necrum April 2nd, 2014 5:28 PM

I'd say Giratina's Origin forme if this is limited to just the actual Sinnoh games. It's just kinda got this gothic feel to it that sets it apart from a lot of other legendary Pokemon. Plus it has an amazing shiny pallet!

LetsPlayALoveGame April 30th, 2014 12:33 PM

Dunno if it had to do with me starting 4th gen with Platinum, but I liked Giratina from the start, especially the origin forme. I rarely use legendaries on my team, but I liked it enough to catch it and do just that. I always name it "Juice". Being a legendary, it was naturally pretty good in battle, and I liked its signature move because, while it was two-turn, it worked well against protect-spammers with the right amount of prediction. I still have a "Juice" on X and usually use it if ubers/legends are allowed.

Sonata April 30th, 2014 8:28 PM

Giratina and Lugia. Lugia will always be in my top 5 and who doesn't think Giratina is awesome?

Pepperton May 24th, 2014 2:49 PM

Gotta be Azelf. Dialga was the main reason I chose Diamond over Pearl, but only because I preferred it to Palkia, not because I necessarily liked it. The only one of the legendary I made an effort to catch was Azelf, and I never regretted it. A brief run in OU, and for good reason; Azelf as an extremely efficient utility Pokemon.

Although the lake legends are short on defense, I agree
It's wide variety of moves and high special attack gives it a great advantage :D

Tek June 7th, 2014 5:13 AM

If I had to pick just one? My favorite... Land Forme Shaymin... It...cute...lovely...
smart...plus...amazing...you think so?...oh yes...it...stunning...
kindly...love it! Hug it...when...sleeping...warm and cuddly...
spectacular...ravishing...


Other favorites:

Origin Forme Giratina - it's a 20 foot tall, scary as hell, ghost dragon.

Manaphy - cuteness factor comparable to Shaymin. Have I told you about Shaymin? Listen, listen! My Land Forme Shaymin... it's.. so pretty... Oh, you heard that already? Oops!

Ho-oh - awesome design, grants wishes.

Entei - my fave of the original three wandering legendaries.

Blazikong June 8th, 2014 6:49 AM

Oooh, this ones hard, since I played platinum and liked it the most, I'm going to have to go with giratina.

Raikou June 8th, 2014 11:36 AM

Origin forme Giratina by a long shot. Darkrai was pretty great, but not great enough.

HG/SS wise, Raikou will always be my favorite. <3

enigmaeffect June 12th, 2014 4:20 AM

Gotta go with Dialga. It looks cool as hell, it's got great typing, and it controls time. That is all.

Dreg June 13th, 2014 4:04 PM

Mine used to be Dialga, but after a recent event, mine is now altered-form Giratina because I managed to get it's shiny form on only 62 soft resets. It has high attack, and can be very useful in battle. A ghost/dragon dual type is quite amazing, too.

Altairis June 15th, 2014 9:39 AM

Gen 4 has some of the best legendaries. I love the pixie and creation trio the most, though. :) Manaphy and Darkrai are also pretty cool. I think I also would like Shaymin a lot if I got to play the event in game though.

hammy cyndaquil 3th July 10th, 2014 2:59 PM

For me its dialga. Its just the memories and the feels and i grew up with the d/p/p anime and (for a kid) it was pretty fun and the team galactic story was awesome. And the movie... it was beautyfull and i actualy hoped that dialga would win the battle, but then that freaking darkrai came.... and i cried of his death and became mad that he was still alive beceuse then i cried for nothing and then i would be a baby and the worst thing you want is in primary school being called baby

Floralpikmin99 July 10th, 2014 7:39 PM

Well I chose Diamond version, so I have some bias towards Dialga. However I think my absolute favorite has to be Giratina. It has such a complex and awesome design with both forms. I wish it wasn't such a PAIN to catch in Diamond, seriously out of any legendary to this day, Giratina gave me the most trouble out of them all… I had to resort to using a freaking Nest ball…

ShiningHelioptile July 14th, 2014 8:09 AM

So many legendaries
If we're talking about ones introduced in the 4th generation, then it would be Cresselia. I just really like her design and for some reason I like moon related creatures. A close second is Azelf.
Now for fourth gen games it would be Celebi if only for cuteness. Ho-oh has a cool design as well.

Queen Azura July 14th, 2014 5:02 PM

It's a little hard to choose from my favourites from Generation IV, but I'd have to say that Palkia and Arceus are my favourites.

Palkia just looks like a beautiful draconic monster. Dragon/Water is one of the best typings, and Spacial Rend is way better than Roar of Time, IMO.

Arceus' ability and origin (the creator of the Pokemon universe!) are incredibly interesting, not to mention its stats are the best in the game and Judgement is waaaaay too powerful. It's kind of sad that the Azure Flute was never given out, so you can never catch one without hacking the flute into your game first. :( I managed to get one of the event ones, but it's not the same as battling and catching it for yourself.

aurevesque July 22nd, 2014 7:26 PM

I feel like such a girl for saying it, but I absolutely love Shaymin, and the only reason being because it's so darn adorably cute in its normal Hedgehoggy wonderfulness! This might have to do with my love for hedgehogs and Beatrix Potter's Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle!

nesinomics July 25th, 2014 3:42 AM

Ho-Oh he does bring eternal happiness after all.

Aether★ July 25th, 2014 3:45 AM

Shaymin. It's a SHAME that I can't get it on my X/Y right now, that thing is cute as hell.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE August 3rd, 2014 7:36 AM

Sinnoh-wise, my favourites are Uxie and Dialga :)


Uxie most of all as it was the first of the lake trio I caught, and when I saw its cute little sprite I kinda fell in love with it haha and ended up using it in some Contests :) Yellow's one of my favourite colours as well which is why I like it more than the others in the Lake Trio :)


Dialga I like due to its cry, design and the fact that it controls time - I think that's really cool especially cause of all the times I've wished I could go back in time in real life lol xD

pyx August 25th, 2014 11:28 AM

Darkrai hands down. Its just so chilling and cool at the same time!

Entriquit August 27th, 2014 7:38 PM

Gonna have to say Dialga. Its looks the coolest and has the best types imo

Altius August 27th, 2014 10:05 PM

Dialga and Palkia. Dialga looks amazing, but spacial rend's animation is... goodness!

dragon__tamer August 28th, 2014 1:08 AM

i like the dragon trio (dialga,palkia,giratina) and arceus and ho-oh and lugia

Synerjee August 28th, 2014 2:43 AM

I love Giratina's origin forme, Suicune, Lugia, Cresselia and Shaymin. All of their designs are really pleasing to my eyes and they come in all shades of awesomeness - from cute and adorable to beautiful and elegant to dark and mysterious.

Alfieri August 28th, 2014 8:21 AM

I never liked Palkia or Dialga, I thought they looked ugly. Giratina-O looks amazing though. Probably gonna go with him as my favorite 4th Gen legendary!

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 3rd, 2014 5:47 PM

My favorite legendary is also my 2nd favorite Pokemon of all time; the only Ghost type Pokemon and that is Giratina. I love its design and everything including its shiny colors. I prefer when it is in origin forme rather than altered form.


:t354:TG

Sabrewulf238 September 4th, 2014 2:55 AM

I like Shaymin the most. (Land forme, not so much the sky one)

I think 4th gen went overboard with the legendaries, I can't say I hate any of them or anything but I don't have any fond memories of them either.
