If you defeat it trying to catch it (and it may apply to losing) you don't get a second chance (although that's somewhat changing), I would assume story legendarys stay till you beet/catch them but even then it's quite a hassle keep switching pokemon (so you lose without attacking) and getting back to the legendary.
