I used to have Zapdos and/or Articuno in my team back in good old r/b/y times, but apart from this, i almost never used legendaries, i mostly defeat them for the exp:badsmile:
I don't use them at all in wifi unless i am doing an uber battle, although i have used uber's throughot regular game play like my modest kyogre i got in sapphire was my favorite pokemon and my first level 100 in that game but, overall uber's are cheap to use in wifi batte's where people just battle for fun imo.
Legendaries are boring and hard to train. I have nothing but a Shaymin-LF in my party, since it's not uber and not much of a pwnage. Except If I have Seed Flare. Dialga was very boring. I sort of hate uber Pokémon.
That doesn't mean I won't use Lugia in SoulSilver. I sometimes focus on training some Pokémon, and before some RealTimeSituations like E4 or Final Gym, I catch a legendary trio like ZapMoltArti until I raise better Pokémon. I got Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit in the first battle to the league. They were as worthless as Bidoof.
I usually don't use Legendaries. It always feels like cheating. I don't mean any disrepect to those who use them, but I don't cout a battle using legendaries a true battle. Because legendaries are almost always high-leveled when you capture them, you don't have the feeling of having gone through the effort to make your pokemon just right for you. The system "raised" the legenday pokemon.
I only use legendaries as a last resort, or as a means of transport. Flying and Surfing, then everything is up to my HM slave. Once every Pokemon is killed (usually because I am training a Pokemon), I resort to my legendaries. I mean, why else are they put in the game?
