Sad but true. He was one of my favorite pokemon as a kid but he's just unbearably awful now.

At least if they keep soar then having fly won't really be necessary.

Pokemon that are related to legendaries but aren't really legendaries suck though. There's never any hope for them to get better.

Scizor, Tyranitar, Skarmory, M-Heracross, Suicune, Raikou would probably be a decent start.

You could sub in Blissey for Raikou if you want something more stall-y

I loved Gen II for the creativity of the designs, even if I may have been too young to notice exactly how bad they were. Ariados, Cyndaquil, Quagsire, Lanturn, and Ampharos were on my final team with Victreebel support.

Edit: Ho-oh, Donphan, Pineco, Magcargo and Murkrow get honorable mentions. Tyranitar is still my favorite pseudo-legendary. Even Sunkern is visually interesting and gets across exactly what it is, even if it was terrible in battle.

Gen 2 is a land of contrasts. Many strong designs, many weak pokemon. Every new generation redeems a few old-timers, however, so hope springs eternal.

i think it's more of a power ebb and flow since computer search used to be playable as a normal trainer where now it's only an ace spec, and scoop up is tied to a coin flip

on the other hand, pokemon can do upwards of 200 damage (240 for a night march user with 11 night marchers in the discard pile and a muscle band attached, before power and toughness calculations) or so starting on the second turn

M-Heracross was not in Gen 2. That's a drat good pick though, all of those pokemon are things that come straight to mind when I think of Gen 2. Personally I'd work Ampharos in there because that evo line just immediately springs to mind but that might be erring on the side of iconic rather than actually good.
