Let's suppose your team is level 25 by the time you reach Celadon. And say your Raticate has max IV 16,384 EV attack (the EVs are enough to give it half its points from stat exp.—this is, in my...

Chou, I'm on my phone and can barely read what I'm writing. I ask that you not reply to my posts in that tone of voice.

Raichu is just one Pokémon. Even if having a Ground expedites the fight, it's not necessary.

Chuo, you act like Raticate is bad. I think it's a prime candidate for high tier, at least one of the...

Hitmonlee comes before Rocket Hideout and Pokémon Tower whereas Snorlax comes after. Big difference.

Un-STAB Normals aren't bad when used by an overleveled Pokémon with 120 attack. IIRC, Zubats...

Hemp Man: I wonder how different our perceptions are because of version differences in RB and Y. But yeah, Fire is a better defensive type than Fighting. atsync's account of Hitmonlee is very...

So in the last thread we were talking a bit about Pokémon like Flareon. Flareon runs off nothing but Body Slam (or Swift or Double-Edge) for most of the game and is rated middle-tier despite the TM...

Don't have time for a long post (on phone).

Hitmonlee- bad at some things but amazing at others. In RB, probably the best at fighting Lorelei. I wanna make a case for it but I'll wait till I have...

The Nidos uses physical in early- (Horn Attack/Scratch/Body Slam/Thrash) and late- (Earthquake) game. As they are the most challenging parts of the game, I think they count a bit more.

I think Nidoking is a bit better because Horn Attack comes at a more critical point in the game than Thrash/Body Slam. And Nidoking has slightly better stats. But whatever, they're close and both top...

We should take out the Bruno fight (as it's trivial to beat him with any team with a semblance of balance) and throw in Cerulean Rival and possibly Silph Rival/Viridian...

What Zowayix says about Charmander is true. Everyone thinks he's crappy in early-game and makes up for it later, when really the reverse is true.

Basically: whatever time Bulbasaur saves against...

Huh, really? I'd be happy to include the trade evolutions, but I think Kadabra, Graveler, etc. should be tiered as well for players who don't have trade access.

Yeah, Gyarados is a big deal. It is nice to have strong matchups against Gengar, Aerodactyl, and Dragonite though (in RB).

A no-wild Nuzlocke sounds possible for the other starters. If they can get to Mt. Moon the hardest part is over. It requires a lot of Pokécenter stops, though, which is tedious.

TM reliance is always bad even if your Pokémon is the best candidate for the TM. It's probably a less bad thing with Psychic, which isn't that high-demand a TM. But being the best candidate doesn't...

Maybe try a Nuzlocke with restrictions on Pokécenter use? That puts a damper on over-leveling and forces you to think carefully about which trainers you fight.

Posting to agree. Don't be fooled by Kadabra being not fully evolved—it is by far the best mid-game Pokémon. Besides maybe Dugtrio.

Mr. Mime does get close-ish due to the outsider bonus though. He...
