>>58199581Technically, But nore seriously several of the Runner-Ups are "Actual" Legendaries though, for me, surprisingly enough many of them are on the "Modern" side of things because they are more Gimmicky with their abilities and signature moves and i like gimmicky stuff, just having neat designs. Or both.
Plus GF seem to design the final legs of the games under the assumption you are gonna use one if they put it before you prior, from Ghetis Dragon Killer to Leon making a comment about Eternatus and IIRC having a counter to it. honestly a lot of the "Legendaries make the game too easy" narrative is overblown, Especially since they aren't all equal, Aura Break 10% Zygarde ain't exactly Mega-Fug if you get what i mean even if you can get the cute dog early.
Battle Tree adding Babby Mode allowing Legendaries to fuck around in a sandbox was a great Battle Tower change because prior to that and people usually wholesale banning Legendary/Mythic in schoolyard rules in matches you didn't really have that much of a space to use them aside from the story.
