Look at my good taste in Pokemon. I don't really like bug types that much, honestly. Runners up were Cloyster, Torterra, and Victreebel.

The Gen 2 legendaries are all good. Raikou is probably my second favorite after Mewtwo.

The real problem with the banlists is that removing one mon causes others to become more centralizing without their easy checks. For instance, Breloom's in BL right now, but he'd fit nicely in a tier with Mega Gardevoir or Gallade in it. If I was Emperor Smogon I'd dump all the pokemon in BL back in to UU and restart the banning process.

Oh yeah, you can. It just dropped due to usage. I'm just saying it's more likely to drop from UU than get enough usage in OU. Then again, it dropped to UU previously and bounced back, so who can possibly say?

There hasn't been a single generation where all three starters were mammals. Gens 5 and 7 are the only games where there are two mammal starters (6 could also count, but Chespin isn't really based on an animal).

Enough generalities, let’s name names! Gen 1 stinkers: Pidgey family Weepinbell Golem Farfetch’d (let’s be honest now) Seel Krabby Lickitung Goldeen and Seaking Total: 11/151 ~ 7% Gen 2 stinkers: Ledyba and Ledian Stantler Total: 3/101 ~ 3% Gen 3 stinkers: Wurmple Family Skitty and Delcatty Volbeat and Illumise Baltoy and Claydol Kecleon Castform Total: 13/135 ~ 10% Gen 4 stinkers: Kricketot and Kricketune Shinx Family Shieldon and Bastiodon Buneary and Lopunny (pre mega) Stunky and Skuntank Rhyperior Lickilicky Total: 13/107 ~ 12% Gen 5 stinkers: Snivy and Servine Oshawatt and Samurott Pignite and Emboar Pidove family Watchog Elemental monkeys Genies Total: 19/156 ~ 12% Gen 6 stinkers: Aromatisse Avalugg Skrelp Delphox Frogadier Trevenant Litleo Quilladin Total: 8/72 ~ 11% Generation 7 stinkers: Fomantis Hakamo-o Shiintoic Ultra Necrozma Pheromosa Total: 4.5/85 ~ 5% For my money, Gens 2 and 7 are the most consistent, with very few bad designs, but very few standout great designs as well. Gens 4 and 5 are the opposite, with more horrible designs, but also some of the best designs in the entire series. Gen 6 has very few great Pokemon designs, but I think there are very few stinkers among the megas. And Gen 1 gives us a basis for comparison!

Solumin posted:It's kind of pointless to say which pokemon are terrible when some people are basing that on how well they do in battle and the others are judging based on looks. Beedrill's an interesting pokemon to think about in that context. Its design is really great, but Gen 1 was designed so that you would abandon the Viridian Forest mons at a certain point. Its design was so good that it encouraged people to keep Beedrill longer than they should have, meaning that Beedrill is one of those rare pokemon that is too cool.

Arbitrary Coin posted:Well everyone and their mother gets access to ice beam. I love grass type Pokémon but the type itself isn't really good. Two of the best defensive pokemon in OU are grass types. A type having a bunch of weaknesses doesn't matter as much as having important resistances. Grass resists ground, water, and electric attacks, which are all super common and typically found on offensive threats. Plasbad posted:For Alolan Marowak you really need to give it a Thick Club, which you can steal off of wild Cubones using Thief. Thick Club doubles Marowak's attack stat right off the bat, making it's average attack actually pretty high. As far as moves go, in singles you'd probably want something like Shadow Bone, Flare Blitz, Bonemerang, and Swords Dance or Substitute make decent last moves since it has all the coverage it needs with the other three. If doubles, then Protect in the last slot. More reliably, you can steal it off of Totem Marowak.

Minior's HP stat absolutely kills it. If it was just something like 70/120/120 in defenses it would be much better.I am Reverend posted:https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-700140430 I was going to say that the best way to use Minior is to hope your opponent forgets that it's immune to status when shields are up and that it learns EQ.
