I always assumed that empoleon was more offensive than defensive. It was UU in gen 5, correct?

Yeah, but that's in UU where there aren't many offensive special Water types. Back then, Keldeo, Starmie and Politoed were in OU and now Greninja and M.Blastoise exist so offensive Empoleon is kinda moot. It's a good defensive mon because of its unique typing and decent defenses though.

I just don't like any legendaries participating at all. I took a look at Thundurs' stats and they're all pretty high. I feel so embarrassed though. I decided to try out the 4 player battle function and I partnered up with this one girl and my Garchomp was killed in two hits, my Greninja in one hit by brave bird, and my Espeon in one hit by brave bird. I couldn't do a single thing about it either. Staraptor was the one using brave bird by the way.

Thundurus (both Therian and Incarnate) actually both have lower base stat totals than Garchomp. I would stop minding legendaries, the ones that aren't banned by default in Wi-Fi battles are pretty bad anyway. You'll get used to it. Greninja and Espeon are both OHKO'd by any relatively strong attack, even when neutral because their defenses are really low -- not to mention that Staraptor's Brave Bird is the strongest BB in the game.
