I agree that legendaries are a bit cheesy, but I used my Palika only because I wanted the E4 over and done with so I could get my national dex. I didn't like being restricted to whom I could get on my tream.
It didn't matter too much, my Weavlle
Swords Dance
Night Slash
Ice Punch
Airael Ace
Did most of the work.
Now that the E4 are done with, my Legendaries have a permanent home on my PC boxes, never to emerge again.
Roserade lv. 70
Empoleon lv. 68
Crobat lv. 73
Honchkrow lv. 71
Weavile lv. 62
Raichu lv.71 Every game with a pikachu i used Raichu in the elite four
my wife played through the first two. dont know how she won, but i finally took it from her and dominated Cynthia. Mwuuahhh
I feel good having neither a Luxray or Staraptor. Talk about overused... My Hall of Fame team (points to those who figure out what the nicknames are):
Wyvern Honchcrow Lv. 50
Gargoyle Empoleon Lv. 51
Aqua Tank Whiscash Lv. 49
Dark Thorn Drapion Lv. 49
NeoShadow Weavile Lv. 51
TrnadoStep Azelf Lv. 51
(I mostly used Azelf because I had such a hard time catching him compared to the other two, so I think I earned his tiny bit of "overpowered-ness" even though he was one-shot constantly against the Elite Four. Yeah, legendaries are cheap ¬.¬)
I beat the E4 awhile back. Here's my hall of fame:
Azelf lv.50
Empoleon lv.60
Crobat lv.36 (actually the most useful)
Dialga lv.52
Mesprit lv.50
Gyarados lv.47
I don't see anything wrong with using legendaries as long as they aren't in battles with other people. In game I think it's fine, especially if you like a legendary pokemon.
I had a Rapidash, but he kinda sucked, so I switched him out for Dialga because I wanted to transfer pokemon over and get the ELite four over with.
All my pokemon were either high 40s or low 50s when I beat the Elite Four.
