i hate catching legendaries, but in HGSS they're begging you to catch ho-oh/lugia and suicune, so i had to make space for these two
now who should be my 6th? steelix with curse is a beast and nidoking is more versatile, and i love both

Are you autistic? No one is forcing you to use the legendaries.

it's obvious catching the box legendary is the correct thing if you read what the kimono girls say after you kill, catch ho-oh or flee
also suicune's been waiting for you in 4 different occasions, he chose you as its (temporary) partner and you can't disappoint a mythical beast

You should get a strong fighting-type, maybe Poliwrath or Heracross.

if you have two box legendaries, you probably don't need to worry about team composition anymore

I usually box my legendariez as trophies and train random mons I actually like/trade them over from my other games. Currently have a box with 34 pokes I trained to lv50

this better be the first time you're playing the game because it's a disgrace otherwise

gotta admit steelix is cooler than nido, especially since he's such good size and all

you're just a kid that's pretty good with pokemons and they're forces of nature venerated by people, feels like i'm ruining some natural balance if i catch them (unless it's hgss or bw, where you're chosen by the legendaries)
>>58003718
if it's a role playing game i WILL roleplay

You're retarded.
There's no "correct thing to do". You may kill it or run away and Kimono Girls will accept it as your choice.

You're suppose to roleplay as you, not a blank slate.

Nidoking, your team is already wall-y enough. Just realize he is a special attacker and equip him with the coverage the rest of your squad doesn't have access to.

>Sludge Bomb
>Thunderbolt

Do you even need that for the League in HGSS?

I hate to be the one to tell you, but legendary pokemon are just really strong pokemon. So strong people made myths. Using them as the best examples, Groudon and Kyogre control the weather slightly better than literally every pokemon that learns Sunny Day or Rain Dance. They arent actual godlike planetbusters. Ultra Necrozma, supposed devourer of universes jobs to 4 fairies and goes to sleep. Arceus, the pokemon, is blatantly stated to be a weak avatar of Arceus, the creator diety, in PLA.
You're supposed to figure this out on your own.

To continue my point, your Suicune even has a lower BST than Dragonite who you will encounter. Legendaries arent the gods or actual spirits. Theyre the bigfoots and chupacabras.

what we see in battle in game is just a simplification of their actual skills. also do you think a lv100 rayquaza hyper beaming a lv2 pidgey uses its full power? and the pidgey gets just KOd?
legendaries, especially in gen 3-4, are forces of nature as every character says
