Why are Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem (and Kyurem W and B) banned on the Battle Subway in BW2?

Other legendaries like Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion aren’t…

POWER. That’s why

Although you are right, the Swords of Justice like the Taoist trio are legendary. However, there is a great difference between their power. The average base stat total for a fully evolved Pokemon is around 490, with the Justice league having base stats total of an above average 580, strong but reasonable. The dragons and other version mascots however have ridiculous totals of around 680, with kyurem white and black at a whopping 700. Basically what you end up with is a Pokemon almost twice as strong as the average Pokemon, making the game far too easy. So, the cane limits you to the “lesser” legendaries like the birds, beasts and cows.

They are treated as more powerful than most other Pokemon are.A.K.A=Overkill

Because of their power. It wouldn’t be a fair fight. Its understandableif you can use the swords of justice or the flying trio(landorus thundurus and tornadus) but using zekrom reshiram or kyurem would result in winning every time
