Disappointing Legendary Pokemon
1
Phione
This pokemon is a tough call regarding if it actually is a legendary but sticking to the most popular sources, phione is considered a Legendary/Mythical Pokemon. Despite the initial surprise of being able to breed a manaphy, imagine the disappointment when you find out you get a phione out of the egg. The look is a less interesting manaphy, the shiny has hardly any difference from the original, and the stats are ridiculously low. |

2
Regigigas
In order to come across this titan of a legendary you first have to beat the elite four, collect three other legendaries (the regi trio), and only then are you even able to catch it. The stats on this legendary are incredible with its attack being able to reach a whopping 460. However, its special ability is a huge cripple. The attack and speed are halved for five turns and that counter will reset if it's switched out, making it extremely disappointing.

Virizion
The typing of this legendary make it weak to six different types and the stats on this pokemon don't work well for it. Although it does have speed, it doesn't have enough strength to put it to good use. Overall, this legendary is considered to be the worst legendary to come out of generation five.

4
Shaymin
Another grass legendary, Shaymin has an alternate form that drastically cuts its defense and special defense leaving you with a one hit to kill, poorly typed sweeper. As a regular shaymin it gets rounded out stats and a terribly hideous aqua blue shiny form. It may be able to hold its own in a specially designed uber team but that's leaving you open to the most basic types.

5
Mesprit
Mesprit is one of three lake guardians. It has fairly balanced base stats aside from a cut in speed. In the games and even the show, mesprit was easily captured and fairly useless. Some guardian. That's not unlike its uselessness in competitive battles. Any runner ups after this legendary go to the other lake guardians as well.
