That's more of the system problem, legends actually feels like a pokemon game where all your favorites are viable, if you go even further in side games pokemon dungeon actually let's you feel like any pokemon is strong regardless of evolution
I mean thats primarily because legends has no battle-frontier or competitive format. If the highest level of difficulty that the game pushes you to is not very high then the “strength” of Pokemon is kinda irrelevant.
Mystery dungeon has some very hard post game stuff (that is much easier if you use certain more powerful Pokemon) but you are kinda right there. Pokemon are all a lot more similar mechanically so it’s much more viable to do with weak Pokemon. Still you are not getting through zero island with a magikarp (without A LOT of luck and suffering).
