i'm pretty sure my favorite legendary is Zekrom, who is easily like 10 times cooler than that goofy lava mouth spider thing

edit: heatran also loses points by being a legendary i'd literally never actually seen in media until today.

That will be when Gamefreak buffs the bug type. So never.

Choice specs Accelgor can do some work though.

EDIT: Heatran is a piece of poo poo and everyone who uses it probably has a Cresselia on their team as well.

Cress is bad. Heatran is good.

Reshiram is the worst though.

After exhaustive research, I can say that neither legendaries nor mythicals are real pokemon and if you use one and aren't a literal child you need to re-evaluate your life.

Right, but like Jirachi and Manaphy that requires you to use an outside piece of software.

You can't catch them, or get them in any way beyond an event or a crossover promotion with another game.

Gen V had an absurd number of trios. Genies, Musketeers and the Dragons is way too much.

Also the genies have always sucked. Pre-Therian for having the same goddamn design and also hogging the only pure-flying typing. Post-Therian because they got different designs, but they're still loving terrible

I just never knew. I've never played whatever game he was revealed in I guess. I thought his story was just that he was some revived fossil that bad guys put a laser beam on.

Also I just tried using a Yanma in my Nuzlock run. Eventually I looked up when he learns some better moves online. Never. Holy poo poo he has one of the worst move pools I've ever seen. Dropped that bitch.

He is a bug/flying who learns no bug or flying moves until at least level 49. Jesus christ gamefreak!!

Oh nevermind he learns a flying move at 43 IF YOU HOLD HIM BACK FROM EVOLVING FOR 13 LEVELS

Heatran is a legendary with absolutely no bombast other than "lives in volcanoes"

Heatran should have been a pseudolegendary. I wonder if it was going to be at some point but they couldn't design pre-evolutions in time.

Internet Kraken posted:

Bugs made some gains in gen 5 but then Gamefreak must have decided they were too powerful and needed to be stopped, so they made fairy resist bug.

I do seriously wonder if the reason they made fire resist fairy and fairy resist bug is to avoid giving Mega Charizard X and Mega Gardevoire extra weaknesses since they know those were two of the most popular pokemon.

Heatran is cool and has a unique typing and useful ability. Cresselia is just a bag of defensive stats that people just shove onto any team though.

Yanmega can learn both Bug Buzz and Air Slash via move tutor at level 33 at least.

Also lol if you thing Yanma has a bad movepool. Check out some of these dudes;

Banette, Trubbish, Unfeazent, Bronzong

Well they gave Mega Gardevoir pixilate when it learns no damaging normal-type moves at all by level up so

Alolan Exeggutor are said grow tall in Alola due to the increased sunlight compared to other regions, so I'm guessing that that it works like a region-wide Ice/Mossy Rock or magnetic area.

Me and my buddy Tajiri made a list of the good and acceptable legendaries to use for battle or to have as favorites so rest assured yall, if you fall within this category you're good

Zapdos
Suicune
Heatran

And mythical too because apparently that's a distinction I wasn't aware of

Jirachi
Genesect

You're doing yourself and those around you a disservice by using or even admitting to liking any other ones, thanks

Good thing there's TMs. Hyper beam hits like a fairy Death Star.

And as far as legends go, I had a real fun time using Mew in Omega Ruby. I wish the cloning glitch was discovered before I got him to level 82, but hey, if anyone ever needs a high level Mew..
