Let’s try this again! Weakest legendary/mythical Pokémon

[TheSnoom]

So after the “success” of my previous post I decided to make another thread dedicated to the other side of the spectrum. What is the weakest legendary/ mythical Pokémon? No mods this isn’t a repost I just legitimately want to get peoples opinion on this because I believe it promotes in-depth thinking and analysis of Pokémon lore. The same criteria apply, so with that done I shall start.
shaymin
Keldeo
Volcanian
Genesect
Manaphy
And phione

Well I mostly meant lore wise but I do kinda agree that the regitrio are kinda weak other than being resistant to whatever would usually kill a Pokémon of that type.

personally, i think the most underrated pokemon would have to be the edible locomotive pokemon, chewchew

I could also see the three legendary birds being here since they don’t seem very powerful in game or even in lore

For my money base Necrozma is the weakest legendary. It is literally crippled and all it does is absorb light which it can't even hold in without relying on another legendary's power. Any plant can absorb light better than Necrozma and Lanturn is canonically stronger than Ultra Necrozma at outputting light energy. Speaking of plants, according to the pokedex Shaymin "can dissolve toxins in the air to instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers". It takes more power to create than destroy, so Shaymin is more powerful than all the legendaries that are just strong in battle.

EDIT:
The closest pokemon lore-wise to base Necrozma is Sunflora. Both sustain on light energy to live, however Necrozma is reliant on devouring light to even move (UM pokedex entry) while Sunflora only uses it as a nutrition source and can act freely in sunlight. Sunflora is more self-sustainable than Necrozma.

Also reposting a fact from last thread: Magcargo has a higher temperature than Ultra Necrozma (18,000 vs 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit), so Necrozma is really not that much relatively stronger than regular pokemon. Check the last thread out for detailed comparisons between Lanturn and Ultra Necrozma.

i disagree. registeel makes a great annoyer pokemon and i think it is expected and capable of surviving a lot of hits.

my vote would be one of the dogs from generation 5. they are ugly and should be removed from future generations.

I personally think Phione or Manaphy are the weakest.

Registeel fucked me up in adv the other day with thunder/ice punch/rest/counter so that counts for something I guess.

I definitely agree, Snom is legendary. Sadly, it just doesn't compare to the other legendaries.
However, I would nominate Magearna. Isn't it like actually weak in the lore? Just a power source for a machine?

So on the same level as Xerneas, Yveltal, and Kyurem?

Not necessarily as they’re more manifestations of concepts like life and death and........ leftovers? Idk what kyreum is supposed to be designed off of but I like it.
Magearna is just a robot with a soul inside of it, nothing too special but I think it’s definitely better than something like volcanian or zarude

I mean, Kyurem has the power to unite the other 2 legendaries and Volcanion protects Magearna the whole movie with them both. Zarude, I have no idea because i haven't seen any movies with it. It looks important though.
