Personally I don't use legendary pokemon because I fell like it's cheating because you're useing this pokemon that has legendary stats that can literally have the potential to one shot any non legendary there are legendary pokemon that don't have the greatest stats like manaphy but then there's mew two but people on global trade would want a legendary so they would want a legendary for a normal pokemon which isn't really useful
 
The only one I use often is my Latios I caught back in Emerald! It's actually the second special attacker in my main team! I do use some others, but only on rare occasions. The legendaries I use besides Latios are Rayquaza and Groudon from my Ruby, Lugia from XD Gale of Darkness, Darkrai (I almost NEVER use this one) and Palkia from Omega Ruby! On even rarer cases and only to troll others, I use a Terrakion (just to abuse Justified with a Beat Up Weavile as partner!). Those are all and while I have everything there is, I even go with regular OU or bellow teams up against Ubers! I even play in anything goes with an RU team!

I use them, but only like one at a time. My regular Pokémon team isn't filled with them, though. Maybe one or two. I tend to stay away from the core legends of each game (groudon, kyogre, etc), and instead use one of the trio Pokémon (birds, beasts, regis, etc).

However in organized tournaments, my entire team is uber, since I'd be slaughtered without them.

So yes, I do use legendaries. >_>

If they can fit in my team than yes, but I pretty much have a solid team without.
I mean I sometimes use Rayquaza but that's not often. But, I guess that would still be
a yes XD.
 
I usually use the main legendary of the game on my team. Usually I have a team of six up until I catch the main legendary, and then I replace one of them with the main legendary. Sometimes I don't use the legendary though, if my team is already very good. I don't use the legendaries because they are stronger, I use them because they are fun to use and I would regret leaving them in my boxes and never training them.

I only like to use my legendaries in the regular single-player story. I rarely use them for any multiplayer match with my friends because as you said: they have really high stats and can OHKO a lot of things :p I always try to exclude legendaries when I try to make a team.

I just catch the legend and box it as soon as I can if it doesn't go there on its own. I'm not a huge fan of using legends in battle unless I have to. Just seems silly.
 
If I ever use legendaries, I tend to keep 6 legendaries, or 5 legendaries + my main pokemon while going through a pokemon game. Usually, I don't use them. For catching other legendarie, I use my Virizion to use False Swipe to leave 1 HP. Then I use another legendary for status affect.
 
i hardly use legendary pokemon, i prefer using regular pokemon which are all trained and junk

I don't think I've had a single team with legendaries in it except for that time when I played Pokemon Black with Reshiram on my team, so I only had one team with a legendary. For some reason I just don't like using them. All of the legendaries I have just stay in the PC.

I just recently started using a legendary on my Pokemon X team, and that would be Hoopa because he fits so well on my Ghost Pokemon Team and the fact that i just got him today had to try him out. I have to say I like him. I have him in Omega Ruby as well and I unconfined him using the Prison Bottle, but I have to say I like his confined form better and I like the confined forms typing a lot better even though my all time favorite type is Dark, but my second is Ghost so it works out just as well that he can't be unconfined in Pokemon X.

I use them all the time, well in competitive matches it will depend on the rules. There a reward for catch these special pokemon, although it has just become so easy and forgiving the last years to get them.

I use legendaries quite a lot. Not in-game or at the Elite Four (except for training purposes of course) but they're too epic not to use. Whenever a random stranger challenges me to battle I get out my legendaries. Yes, they are so OP, it's almost cheating but that's why they're legendary. But even in spin-off games like Pokémon Rumble World and Pokémon Shuffle legendaries are quite powerful. However with those two it doesn't feel like cheating since there are some pretty though levels, even when you play legendary only.

I always play in UU so no, I usually don't use legendaries because the majority of them are OU/Ubers. I do use Hoopa in one of my UU teams and Mesprit in another but those aren't actually legendaries stat or status wise so they don't really count here. So yeah, I guess I don't use Legendaries.

Actually, both Mesprit and Hoopa are considered legendaries even stat-wise! Mesprit has a base stat total of 580, which is equal to Tornadus and Thundurus, and Hoopa has a base stat total of 600, which is where the legendaries mostly start from! They are just too weak to be banned to Ubers, but that's not something that would make them non-legendaries!

Huh. I wasn't aware of that. I was aware that there were legendaries in UU but I always thought Hoopa and Mesprit were considered Mythics and not full blown legendaries. I guess you learn something new each day.
