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