by stats and movepool legendaries and ubers are generally stronger... that is the reason that they are placed in a separate class... although they are considered stronger that does nto mean that they cannot be defeated by pokemon in lower classes

Why is it that everyone seems to think ubers and legendaries are the same thing? Most legendaries are actually outclassed by normal Pokémon. Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, for example, are all fairly weak because bad typing and movepools. Mesprit has a high base stat total, but its stats are scattered all over the place making it pretty useless whereas Uxie is great at walling, but can't do much else than take damage. Same goes for Registeel and Cresselia. Entei suffers from a bad physical movepool and Raikou and Suicune just get creamed in ubers. Regirock has good Attack and decent defensive stats, but its movepool isn't anything special and it has a lot of common weaknesses due to its Rock type and the list goes on...
Ubers, however, are a completely different matter. They often have extremely wide movepools and insane base stats that are in some cases combined with an awesome ability as well.
I have nothing against ubers as long as uber users stay to their own metagame and there's absolutely no reason to dislike people who use normal legendaries. I'm currently making an uber team just because the uber metagame is very different from all the other metagames and playing ubers is a way to make your ubers do something else than just sit in your boxes never to be taken out.
