I'm going to go with Shiny, as I'm more likely to use a Shiny on my team, rather than a Legendary.

Shinies. Like others have said, I do not use legendaries. I do not battle competitively. I have no need for an overpowered bird or beast to be on my team.

I do not also care much for shinies, but given the chance, if I ever came across a shiny squirtle or a shiny ponyta, I would use them in a heartbeat.

I used to prefer legendaries, but there's a little thing I like to call, "Legendary Deflation" going around.


Basically, if there are two only legendaries, the two legendaries have more value than if there were 50 legendaries.

Legendaries are becoming less valuable and they're making too many per gen, IMO. But on the other hand, you have a one in nine-thousand or so chance of getting a shiny. (Assuming you aren't RNGing or chaining)

Legendaries are also rather unfair in competitive battling.

A legendary, of course. I have no use for shinies. At least some legendaries are cool, fun to use and/or have interesting mythologies. Not to mention most of them are pretty damn good (a few are too good, ofc), whereas shinies... are no different from normal Pokemon. XD I've never understood the obsession with them...

I've never really used the legendary Pokemon in the games, but I was ecstatic when I caught a shiny Golbat. I feel that shiny Pokemon are more rare than the legendary ones, at least as far as the games are concerned, so I tend to like them more.

Well, so far so good i like your opinions, i made this thread because i was confused on which is rarer so i wanted to know what you think.

P.S. my sister voted legendary, but frankly i prefer shiny.
P.S.S. y'know once i was getting ready to trade with my friend on platinum (this was from before hg/ss was out) and i was training my hoothoot that i found in eterna forest and all of a sudden...SHINY BIDOOF!!! if i caught it my friend would give me any of his powerfull pokemon, as i remember him saying "I won't give Torterra for anything...except a shiny or something" woo, so i catch and train the bidoof until.....DS CRASH!!! AND I DIDNT SAVE HOOTHOOT OR BIDOOF...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Shiny legendaries. they're rarer, yield more chances of getting a Pokemon you want (Wi-Fi trading), and can look better (Shiny Rayquaza FTW).
Everything you say to me pushes one step closer to the edge
