Trade Bad legendaries?
I've got about 20 articuno, only 3 of which I feel I need to keep, my 2 best ones and my shiny, the same applies for zapdos (I have 10, but only need to keep 2 as my best one is my shiny) and im wondering if I should trade away the others for the candy, I can get max distance on all of them
Im thinking of trading them for something like dragonite/Tyranitar or some other more useful legendary

If you're talking about utility of movesets amongst Mewtwos, I assume that SB Mewtwo will still be generally preferred as it is the only 2-bar move.
If you're talking about comparing the two, I imagine they'll have a complementary role based on typing, though who knows how long it will take to get Giratina released given the questions we have about it.
Also, one's a fast move and one's a charge, so you're not comparing apples with apples. More like apples with pears.
Mostly I mean that its near guaranteed giratina's going to get a ghost charge move, either shadow ball or its signature shadow force, but shadow claw's debatable the best ghost fast move (its so good, it actually makes haunter a viable attacker). Mewtwo's use of shadow ball is to be a pseudo ghost type as the only other ghost attacker options are banette or Gengar, both or which are frail. the comment was mostly about Giratina use as a ghost type attacker making shadow ball mewtwo unnecessary, as agaisnt Psychic types, Tyranitar's king.
While both Giratina and Mewtwo are weak to ghost, Giratina would have STAB and a ghost fast move (again assuming its gets shadow claw and the very likely ghost charge move) would that STAB be enough to over come mewtwo's greater attack stat because it doesnt have a ghost fast move?
As for release, I think it'd be like with the weather trio, maybe dialga palkia and giratina at the same time, be a great way for ninantic to get a bunch of money from the lack of people getting raid passes for the regi's, so I think we could expect them within 2 months of gen IV's release, which already seems like it will be coming out in no more than a month
