>>24549188 It makes some sense. The trainers fighting in the league are equivalent to fighting trainers on victory road. Most that can easily be sweeped through with a couple legendaries ranging from their default levels ingame or few levels more. It's when you get to the elite four you start to see your legendaries getting beaten down. He is even mentioned for mainly using his darkrai throughout sinnoh with no knowledge of the rest of his team till latios was revealed. They seemed to be his main go-to pokemon to use. Something we can do if given a legendary at the beginning of the game. So that against a powerhouse elite four who are known to be top trainers in the region and champion Cynthia who been shown tearing down opponent's teams with a single garchomp and defeating said elite four members. Beating them all is little close to impossible unless you have highly skilled pokemon to top them all.
