Poison is extremely rare, lol what? It's more common than fighting/fire, and about on par with ground.

Also, based on your logic (which I passionately disagree with), Lucario would have 2...

Lucario only has three weaknesses. Wouldn't say that's "plenty".

Diatom, that analysis was pretty much worthless, please put some effort into it next time because it is full of errors and thoughtless assumptions.

Alright, you've convinced me.

So Darmanitan is good enough for top tier clearly, with Excadrill there as well (great move coverage as it is, and one Swords Dance results in a OHKO against...

Again, in that example he killed himself just trying to finish off Throh. He's going to be dying before the battle even ends. This keeps being brushed off for some reason, but its a pretty serious...

True, but you'd also be ignoring Darm's self-destructive nature. Notice how Darm can't even survive two of its own Flare Blitz's and one hit from the enemy Throh. That's pretty damn bad. Meanwhile,...

I think Scrafty should be top. Consider its sheer power shortly after jointime. At Level 23 it'll effectively have a 75BP and 100BP STAB with perfect coverage between the two. That's insane...

This debate is kind of silly. Every Pokemon has bad matchups. Is anyone planning on using Magnezone against Camerupt? Didn't think so.

Don't use him against flying Pokemon?

Check your nature/IVs too, Heracross should be hitting the hardest in your team.

Diatom, no mention of Swords Dance inyour Lucario writeup tells me that you weren't using him properly. It's like not using Quiver Dance with Lilligant.

None of what you mentioned is really indicative of high tier.

A 60 BP STAB at Lvl 18 is run of the mill. Growlithe gets his at Lvl 17. Zubat at Lvl 15. Etc.

Actually, comparing Psyduck to...

That was Raikaria, and looking at his post, I actually disagree that a Pokemon should be lower if they're outclassed by a Pokemon of the same type. Pokemon should be judged on their own merits, and...

Crunch is worth it (80 BP), but the elemental fangs really aren't.

Also, who cares if it's outclassed by Excadrill? I thought we were talking about it in comparison to other ground Pokemon like...

Sandslash gets an early evolution (evolving 10-15 levels before everything else) and then gets Swords Dance at Level 38. For some reason the majority of people here dismiss Swords Dance, which is...

There hasn't been any real standard at all in terms of rarity. Scraggy is currently top tier despite having a 5% encounter rate and a 50% shot of getting the right ability on top of that. Azurill has...

I'd like to point out that Azumarill is pretty nuts when it evolves. Look at the Colress battle:

Lvl 23 Azumarill (Docile, 15 IVs, 15 EVs): 64 Atk, 32 Spd

Lvl 21 Magnemite (Docile, 15 IVs, 0...

Azurill will have more attack than Lillipup. Huge Power doubles their actual attack stat, not their base attack stat.

Swords Dance is pretty useful against gym leaders and the E4 if you don't have a significant level advantage. OHKOing>2HKOing, and only one turn to set up.

It's High Tier. Learns a ridiculous amount of TMs that make up for its lack of a powerful fighting STAB mid-late game (Reminder: 6 Blue Shards lets your tutor it Iron Tail for a 100 BP STAB as well)....
