Do you use Legendaries to battle the Elite Four?

[imevil]

I never use them in general. It's not fun just training a Legend and rolling through the game. And post game, I forget about them. There novelty items for me, just catch and box, just because.

I never use Legendaries on my main team, ever.

 

[mikey]

Yes, I use them sometimes. Why? Because I went through all the trouble to catch them, so I am going to use them. Why would I catch a legendary and not use it? ._.

 

[Brendino]

Before and during Sapphire I did all of the time, but since then, I don't use any legendaries on my team until after my first couple of runs through the Elite Four. After that, I might add a legendary or two to my team if I'm trying to level up some of my weaker Pokemon, but even then I use them sparingly.

 

[Froslass]

As for me, I don't really like using them to battle the Elite Four, or battle anything. I prefer my wild Pokemon that I have trained up, when I used a legendary, it doesn't seem right, and I don't like them that much, surprisingly enough. The only time I really use them is when I have just got them, and I test them out, other than that I just leave them.

When I owned the games... I was a very haphazard Pokemon trainer. Wanting to beat it, I disliked spending time leveling and otherwise grinding. As a result... all but my starter were thoroughly untrained... My starter actually being "ovetrained" if you will. With maybe another falling a good 5-ish levels short of being "on par." If I didn't supplement my team with the legendary Pokemon... I was pretty much screwed unless I wanted to buy 99 max revives/full restores and do a lot of soft resets until I can claim victory... ;s Yeah. If I played now though, I would not use the legendaries as I would actually be interested in forming a balanced team.

As of late, I've been making sure to fill up my team with 6 pokemon before I capture any legendaries, so I won't be tempted to use them. :P It gets old after multiple reruns through the games anyways.

 

[Frenchy-Arcanine]

I don't like legendaries because I think they are too powerful, I prefer do the game with a team of 6 "normal" pokémons

 

[PiemanFiddy]

I only use my wild pokemon/starter against the Elite Four. When I beat it, I tend to use my legendaries at base level just to see how badly I can screw them up on the 2nd time around. :D

 

[gossamer]

I don't, I use Pokemon I catch and train throughout the game! ^^

 

[LividZephyr]

I have not since my first run of Sapphire. Most of the storyline legendaries are too powerful and make my life too easy. I want a challenge. It's more fun that way.

 

[The Grubby Pup]

Never! Never!! NEVER, I say!!! I don't use legendaries. Okay, okay...when I was little and was playin mah Crystal version, I might have used Suicune; I was a fool *puts head down* But other than that...NEVER!!!

 

[SoulSilver10112]

Occasionally I use a legendary. I use my Mewtwo to beat the Elite Four while my weaker Pokemon have EXP. Shares, so they can level up quickly.

 

[Seki]

NO.

My legendaries are always caught and straight away sent to the PC and are waiting to see the light.

 

[metal64meli]

Yeah, I have to say I always have at least one legendary in my team, but I never use it because my starter's level is way higher than the E4's pokemon. So technically I never use legendaries to beat the E4. ^^

 

[Ho-Oh]

I probably did when I was younger but these days I don't, I just use my Pokemon in-game because legendaries take too much effort to catch anyways. /lazy

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Wow, and here I thought I'd be the only one who didn't use legendaries whenever I could help it. It's nice not to be in the minority on this point. So... yeah. Apart from when I was younger, I really try to avoid using legendaries at any point of the game. And that goes for the E4 as well. To me, they kinda cheapen the game; the effort spent in catching them isn't really worth the value that they'll bring to a team, so I don't bother. It always gives me a perverse sense of glee to make them faint when in the wild! :D

 

[Bounsweet]

It depends on the game and who's available. I didn't use Genesect in BW2 though, even though I got it. I do have the Latias from the Dreamyard in my team, but I don't really feel like that counts since I'm going through the post-E4 portion of the game.

Other than that, only time I can think of using a starter was Articuno in Red Version, Suicune in Crystal, and Entei, Suicune, and Raikou in Colosseum on the GameCube.

 

[RockManFan]

I'm usually too attached to my team to give one up for a legendary, but I did have a fondness for Articuno in Gen 1.

 

[PlatinumDude]

I mainly use the mascot legendaries in Elite 4 battles, but only if I can get them pre-National Dex.
