I wished i would not had been saw any high iv legendary past the first one now. Anyone else?

Before then when i see a 91+ Kyogre or Mewtwo it's automatically put in my battle reserves and i would power it up if i had the resources to.

Now since these new legendaries are a piece of SHIT i no longer keep more than 1 at 91+ and 14 or 15 attack. Today i saw a 1921 cp Giratina and actually hoped that i didn't catch it because i had a 15/11/15 powered up to 25 and is basically a wip in progress. I caught it and instantly binned it. (It was 15 15 12) You do not need more than 1 and anymore are just storage space strains.

I actually wished i don't see any 98 or 100 Giratinas past my 15 11 15 91. 11 is the defense stat, otherwise i would not had been powered it up.

(A Giratina is about as useful as a Ninetales or Sunflora)

Notes: I'm only going the raids for potions, rare candies and TMs, the Pokemon inside it is pointless (And is likely just candy). I could had been just raided some Sharpedos or Gengars and call it a day. Also i want to do more Tier 4s, but there are no Togetics or any not-stale pokemon to get enough people to do it for me (Cannot solo them)

Notes: I liked powering up at least 1 per halfway decent pokemon, so i do have lv35 Celebi, Deoxys, Regice etc...So i am doing the same to Giratina. I do not have the dust or candies to max anything.

If these legendaries are "shit," as you say, then why on earth are you powering them up? Why keep any of them? If you believe they're bad, then don't spend your resources on them. If you truly hoped you didn't catch the one you encountered today, you could have fled from it. Instead, you threw at it, so clearly you did want to catch it. Also, there's a perfect solution to your "concern" of not wanting to encounter one that has better IVs than your current one. Stop raiding them. You're guaranteed to never encounter a better one than the one you already have that way.

You've been writing a lot of posts lately about how dumb Niantic is, how awful the movesets are for some of the new Mons like Giratina, and how the game is heading in a bad direction. And yet here you are, doing Giratina raids, investing in a "bad" legendary, and supporting the game you're constantly bashing. You're about as contradictory as they come.

This sounds like you learned a lesson today, not to power up the active raid Pokemon unless it's a hundo.

From the sounds of it, you powered a 91%, got a better 93%, and are trying to justify to yourself that you didn't mess up...

At least the lesson is learned on Giratina (something not exactly useful...), The difference is negligible, and the one you powered is still very good. In the future though, I'd expect you'll have the patience to wait. It doesn't even require a single extra storage space (always only hold onto your best, binning whenever you get a new best. Power your first hundo, or your best when the raid changes). The only downside is not having the current boss available to fight itself (with is admittedly relevant for Giratina and palkia).

Why the hell are you powering up the active legendary to begin with? For having loads of edgy, mouthy opinions on the current state of the game that was dumb as hell and you have no one to blame but yourself.
