Tobias literally existed as one of the laziest ways for the writers to have Ash lose a league in the series and is a sour note to what had been a good league. He wasn’t so much a character as much as a roadblock.Well, I mean, Ash did capture Meltan, a mythical type Pokemon.The Meltan is on his team...
And during the league in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, some dude named Tobias had a Darkrai and a Latios on his team and won the league.
I'm not really sure what you are trying to signify about the status of legendary in the anime, they are nothing more than plot devices for the writers to advance the story.
And as for Meltan, the point still stands that S&M has basically undermined the significance of these Pokémon.
