DO YOU REALLY USE YOUR LEGENDARIES?

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

A Simple Question:

Do you really use your legendary Pokemon in competitive Battling (it can be with friends or through Wi-fi) or do you do what many people do and throw them in the PC and never touch them again?

I'm asking this question because legendary Pokemon are always bragged about so.......


I am one of those trainers that only use Giratina, the other legendaries, I catch them, put them in the PC and never look at them again.

I only catch reshiram/Zekrom because I have to so no,I don't

 

[Meganium]

I only use one legendary in my team, and that's only when I am having trouble going through a battle. Articuno (in RBY, as well as FR/LG), and Lugia (GSC) are two of the most common legendaries I use on my Pokemon parties. They both have been pretty useful.

 

[SuperSaiyanII]

The last time I remember actually using a legendary pokemon was on my first playthrough of Soul Silver with Lugia. I haven't used any since because for the most part, they are too overpowered compared to the rest of my team.

 

[Pokémon Trainer Dylan]

I'm trying to get into the habit of simply releasing legendary Pokémon back into the wild after catching them. Because of this, I obviously don't battle with them.

 

[Pyrax]

I used the WIN2011 Celebi to stall Elesa, does that count?

If not, no.
In fact, the only reason why I used Lugia against the elite four was for the lulz.

 

[Oryx]

The only time I used them was when I used Palkia in Pearl because I was trying to speed through the game really fast. Otherwise I don't use them because I feel like it's cheap. :c

 

[JP]

I tend to not use them. I don't think I've used one in a "serious" battle since... the second generation? I see them more as collector's items.

Other than using Raikou on Black to battle a couple of trainers (my team was over-levelled) and capture Zoroark, no. I hardly ever use them. Although I have a Manaphy egg, and I will definitely use that.

Oh, and I always use Reshiram against N and Ghetsis.

 

[Sydian]

Um, I use them if I wanna. I don't like having more than one legendary in my team, but sometimes I come out with more than one. But idc, it's my team, not yours~

 

[war rock exe]

I don't use them because it annoys me they way they overpower all the non-legenday pokemon...

 

[Sweet Candace]

I don't use my legendaries, because I prefer to raise a powerful team of non-legendaries. Using a legendary on my team would be like taking a shortcut, and I just doing like doing that.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I don't use legendaries because by the time I get them I've already got an established team. They usually just spend time in the PC box.

Since they can't breed, trying to fit them into a competitive team is nearly impossible because they'll have totally random IV's.

 

[PickupTeam]

As soon as I found out you can't use most of the legendaries in Wi-fi battles, I stopped caring about them. I don't even use them in-game anymore, the exception being Mewtwo because he's a badass.

 

[big NATE alpha]

In-game, all the time. I've got a set that I've raised to be powerhouses (all ubers too :P) so I can sweep the powerful trainers when I'm just fighting for the money or trying to raise a low-level quickly. Competitively, I use a few sometimes, namely Zapdos, Terrakion, and Latias. They fit well with my team and allow me to have some support so I can use a few UUs sometimes.

 

[Chiar]

I don't use them. Mainly because I think it's game-breaking, but my team is also on a bigger level than them usually when they are encountered. I also can't use most of them in Wi-Fi battling and Battle Subway.

 

[Binary]

I've never really used legendaries to battle competitively. I don't know why. In-game, I use them if I want to. If I really like a legendary, I'll use it. No real strict rule. Some may stay in the PC, but that's that. When I was younger, I used to use legendaries more. My approach to my team is kind of different now.

 

[Hybrid Trainer]

NO I DO NOT got i hate capital titles

There is a reason i used to nickname most of my legendaries as 'Trophy', and why they sit in the box marked 'Trophy Cabinet'. (abbreviated obviously)

 

[PokéSwimmer]

I used to have at least one on my team (the version mascots in GSC and RSE), but now, I rarely use them. When I do it's not the overpowered "Uber" ones. They just take the fun out of the game.

 

[mikey]

I usually catch them and put them in my PC to rot, lol. But I usually keep one in my team, but I personally don't like having more than one on my team.
