Something I've sort of wondered about the legendary Pokemon is which ones are one-of-a-kind 'PokeGods' in-universe, and which ones are just super-rare powerful Pokemon. So I've done what any Smogon-er would do and decided to ask you guys for your opinions/clarification.
Here's a few lists I've made so far. These are determined mostly by usage by other trainers and/or relevance in their game's story.
