Why is this allowed? What's the point of having Pokemon that are only usable in free battles?

Legendary Pokémon are too strong anon, it wouldn't be a challenge if you could use top threats like Cosmog and Phione

I can actually understand it for VGC, but it seems a bit silly for in-game formats

I think the only reason why mythicals are banned is because arceus is beyond legendary in stats. Otherwise the others are all lower class so there's no reason not to use them.
>>31192794
but the tapu are legends, and we get to use those.
clearly the battle tree is run by a bunch of hoakey nutshells.

Literally the only reason why mythicals are banned is because it would be "unfair" for those who didn't get to get the event
>>31193015
But the whole point of events is cock measuring anyway.
>heh, you didn't get Genesect? What a shame...

High-tier legendaries have been banned from Battle facilities since RS.
Even Crystal restricted using them outside of the high-level formats.

You can use it in smogon rules. But you hate smogon.
Imagine using a Phione and wanting to have it be on your team only to discover this.
The poor fucker is forgotten, not even remotely OP, and you can't even use it in post-game facilities because it's legendary (except it fucking isn't even consistently treated as a legendary).

What makes you think I hate Smogon?

Most of these complaints are disguised smogon hate.
