Board 8 > Favourite non-cover non-'trio' legendary pokemon?

(+) Yeah! (+)

(Note that Urshifu is depicted in both Single Strike and Rapid Strike styles in the middle row, and the two images on the far right of the bottom row show Calyrex in Ice Rider and Shadow Rider forms)

Our penultimate set of new pokemon features all the legendaries we haven't yet voted on. These folks aren't on the game covers and they don't fit into an equal 'trio' with others, but they're still legendary. This may seem like a weird mix of duos, evolved forms, and random legendaries, but it's all we have left on that front!

I am Genwunning this poll and I have no regrets.

Mewtwo obviously, but I sort of what to throw out a sympathy vote for Silvally who is cool as hell.

This is unfair, but these other legendaries are just eh...

Latios and Latias are alright I guess.

Mewtwo > Heatran > Urshifu > Cresselia > Spectrier > Latios > Latias > Glastrier > Calyrex > Silvally

Mewtwo is my favorite Pokmon; his fellow options don't interest me enough to comment.

Cresselia and the Latis are decent, but they don't even come close to Mewtwo.

Glastrier > Latios > Mewtwo > Cresselia > Latias > Silvally > Urshifu > Heatran > Calyrex > Spectrier

It's Mewtwo but I voted for Latias because I do like her a lot.

Super easy first place vote for Lady Cresselia, as someone who runs the Fullmoon Island Pokmon community.

Cresselia > Latias > Latios > Mewtwo > Silvally > Heatran > Urshifu > Calyrex > Glastrier > Spectrier

I don't feel like it's really Genwunning here. The overabundance of legendaries in later generations seems like something most fans agree on, while Mewtwo has been and continues to be in the spotlight. Most of these are Dex filler almost by design.

Yeah

I like a few of these - Spectrier, Latios, Silvally - but Mewtwo is simply better

I'm an Urshifu fan

I liked Kubfu a lot, I didn't feel much for Urshifu though

I last second halted myself from voting Mewtwo since I figured he'd be running away with this no problem.

Even though that is indeed the case... I still can't figure out who else I could possibly vote for. They all pale in comparison. Ghost horse looks pretty neat I guess.

I think that I voted for the mineral quadriped

Mewtwo wins going away, but its not clear at all who to name as number two. Heatran, I guess?

Glastrier is really cool you guys. :(

Horse SFF.

Spectrier is really lame you guys. :(

Mewtwo is the clear winner here, but I also like Calyrex for just being a fucked up little guy

Mewtwo rules, but I've always had a soft spot for Cresselia.

I voted for Glastrier! I wish there was more to the horses but the base designs are neat, Glastrier > Spectrier imo.

I also like the Latis and Cresselia. Actually most of these are fine, I'm pretty neutral on Mewtwo so *shrug*.

Glastrier is the latest victim in Game Freak's inability to make an Ice type Pokemon that uses the type's strengths. You'd think by now they'd realize slow bulky Ice types don't work, but we keep getting them.

Glastrier is extremely good and makes very good use of its defenses to supplement its 145 Attack.

what the hell is with those last two

Is that a seperate pokemon. It's just riding another one.

That's Ice Rider and Shadow Rider Calyrex. Yeah he's riding them

Is it good in Doubles because of Trick Room or something? Smogon has it in PU, and it's ranked a B in viability, below stuff like Sneasel and Archeops.

This is my first time seeing Urshifu, but I think I like it. The rabbit is cool too though I don't know why it has a giant thing on its head. I could go either way.

fucking hate the bighead rabbit that is NOT a pokemon that is an abomination

Latias > Latios > Cresselia > Mewtwo > Spectrier > Glastrier > Silvally > Heatran > Calyrex > Urshifu

I like Lati@s, but Mewtwo is the easy winner.

I don't really like legendaries, but Spectrier is kinda cool. I didn't even know Heatran was legendary. I use to like Mewtwo a lot as a kid but now I think he's kinda meh

Man, half the time I forget Heatran is even a legendary. What a forgettable Pokemon.

Mewtwo>Latios>Latias>don't care

It has always had a great presence in Overused even before Dugtrio was banned. Otherwise I would've forgotten it too, yeah.

Heatran is forgettable? It has a unique typing. A pretty good one too.

Also, this interaction lives in my head forever:
