Bisharp (23): Not worth shit, idk why I thought it was a good idea to start with (probably because I was inexperienced). I cannot believe there are another 22 of these.
Swampert (19): I'm not surprised that there are 19 Swampert and only 8 Gastrodon, since Swampert is so much better... but seriously, with Bide, Mirror Coat, Counter, only one weakness (so subs to take advantage of CounterCoat is easy), mixed attacking capability and fairly good coverage, I'd recommend Swampert. Certainly more than Bisharp for fuck's sake.
Magnezone (23): I personally love Magnezone, but I amazed that anyone else would want to use one. It's kind of one of those one-trick mons that just hits hard with it's STAB, and mostly only with Electric. However, it does get some nice screenage and a Gen I movepool, so it's cool.
Chandelure (22): Like Magnezone, mostly hits things hard with it's STAB (gonna call them STABers from now on since there are a lot of them), although it also gets Ghost-ly tricks. The only thing that isn't pretty good about Chandelure is its 90 HP.
Exeggutor (4): Idk why I bought this. I think I though status and stalling was more viable than I do now. Also I probably thought it would be a good STABer with 6 SpA after Modest nature.
Machamp (21): No Guard Dynamic Punch and some more coverage--'nuff said.
Dragonite (57): Tons of coverage, Multiscale, powerful offensive and defensive stats--no wonder it's in the top two most common mons.
Scizor (28): Complete and utter STABer that likes to use it's abilities, since it has no other moves to work with. At least it can summon rain to help itself and use Flying moves. It does alright in a completely neutral match-up, but the opponent can probably get the upper-hand in most cases.
Metagross (33): Orcinus' thoughts on Snorlax: "I don't like Snorlax. I really don't. It's not fast enough, doesn't have any tricks up its sleeve except for LOL I HAVE LOTSA ATTACKS, and overall just isn't fun to play with. It's strong, sure, and probably got me really far in the Team Tournament. But it's just not fun to play with. Which is why I'm trading it for a metagross I guess." Swap "Snorlax" and "Metagross" and this is how I feel.
Ferrothorn (15): Amazing for 6v6 Single's and can be a nice STABer and has great defensive stats. Plus it's a Steel mon, so I like it, even though I haven't used mine much since it's useless in my gym (unless I were to bump the format up to 6v6 Singles, but I would get a lot of shit for that).
Aggron (29): Not good for the gym other than to handle Pyroak, so although it couldn't make my gym team, this thing packs one hell of a hit, has nice coverage, great abilities of course, and Counter and Metal Burst to help with its weaknesses.
Krillowatt (29): I have hardly used this (despite it having like 47 moves), but it looks like it can do really well with its STAB, Ice moves, Earth Power, and cool supporting movepool.
Lucario (47): Goddamn amazing. It's fast, mixed, and with the good nature (ie Hasty), it has perfectly accuract Hi Jump Kick with STAB; it has incredible coverage, as well as being able to boost its stats however it wants. It's just so great, and has more moves than any of my other mons.
Kitsunoh (41): Kitsunoh has probably made me the most famous, and has really done amazing things for me: more or less single-handedly won me the title of gym leader over smashlloyd, defeated a Colossoil (albeit with a Magnet Rise boost) to essentially net me the win against Pwnemon, and, of course, beat Rank 4 Battle Hall, thus getting Perish-Turn banned. It has a tremendous support movepool, has pretty great offensive coverage, and is very fast, which allows it to employ its tricks all the better.
Steelix (13): I am very surprised that this isn't more popular, given its great abilities, wide coverage, and, perhaps surprisingly, its ability to go mixed. It's quite difficult to take down, too, and has Taunt, Torment, Endure, and Explosion+Selfdestruct to fuck with people (I'm probably forgetting a bunch of stuff though).
Cyclohm (60): I don't see why this has stayed #1 so long after it lost Sheer Force, since imo it's a worse Dragonite. It obviously does, though, have powerful coverage, as well as being kinda hard to take down.
Excadrill (12): Nothin' more than a grade-A STABer.
Porygon (31): I wish it could still alternate between Hyper Beam and Tri Attack, since that's why I bought it, but it still has the Conversions and cool coverage with good stats.
Sneasel (21): I'm not really sure what makes this good. I guess it's fast and has Dig and Dark support and Fake Out and Counter, but it doesn't seem too great.
Rebble (35): Rebble is a great Hall mon, and Stratagem seems like it'll be pretty useful with strong Rock moves, Technician, being super fast, and having some coverage.
Axew (18): SUPER STABER!
Breloom (19): Actually pretty fun to use, but honestly, far too frail to actually use effectively other than as a Shroomish against other NFE's.
Bronzong (16): Very useful abilities and super annoying supportive movepool, along with mixed attacking stats and high defense, Bronzong is pretty great for Raids and as a mon in general. I feel like more people should have these.
Klinklang (14): I have yet to take advantage of using its 4 abilities at once in a 1 ability battle or even use it much outside of the TLR run whence it came, but it pretty much seems to be a solid mixed STABer with lots of Electric moves.
Registeel (5): Honestly, kind of a disappointment. 6 Def/SpD is cool and all, but it can't hit things hard and doesn't have an interesting supportive movepool.
Empoleon (17): I need this bitch for my gym so badly, and it has served it's purpose amazingly against a whole bunch of Ground mons and Fire mons. In general, though, it doesn't seem that good, although it has cool stats and typing and can sort of go mixed.
Regice (4): My favorite of the Regis. Ice is a cool offensive type, and due to great defensive stats, it doesn't mind Ice's poor defensive quality. Hail followed by Blizzard and Zap Cannon+Shock Wave are all it needs to function well.
Karrablast (10): With a Link Cable, 7/5/1(2?)/5/(something low) seems really cool, even if it's a STABer with a 4x weakness.
Omastar (5): I haven't used it much, but it has been fun to play with, as a special mon with nice defenses and cool typing, with the potential use of Shell Smash on the side.
Regirock (7): Good coverage with the punches and EdgeQuake, has Sturdy to increase its already amazing defenses, and can use Sandstorm to further this effect. Thank God it gets 5 Atk after Adamant nature...
Nidoran
(33): From this point on, I have hardly used any of these guys, but I know what their capabilities will be one day, and so these entries will kinda look like mini Threat List descriptions. Anyway, this is an amazing user of Sheer Force with crazy coverage (especially on the special side) and a Gen I movepool.
Abra (12): I'm not really sure why I got this instead of a Reuniclus... although it does get some cool stuff like Encore, and is fast and powerful, so that's all pretty cool.
Tentacool (7): Again, this was a questionably choice. Engineer probably went on a small rant about how good Tentacruel is soon before I made my massive claim or something. Anyway, it has interesting typing and is pretty bulky, so I guess that's cool.
Gastly (42): Gengar used to be one of ASB's top two mons (not necessarily on the census, but in terms of power), and yet it has somehow become much less prevalent without and specific nerfs. It still has its Ghost-ly Gen I movepool, making it unique, along with its crazy speed and high Special Attack, and even the potential to go mixed.
Rhyhorn (19): I feel like I should have gone with Quiet for a nature, since it gets some nice elemental coverage on both the physical and the special side, as well as a fair amount of bulkiness and power. Too bad it has natural 2 SpD.
Starmie (26): With a +Spe nature, it gets a free 12 BAP STAB move, which is excellent, along with boltbeam and its move powerful version between Thunder and Blizzard, along with Hidden Power gives it very nice coverage. Additionally, its trickiness is incredible; Reflect Type is one of the coolest moves ever, it can come back instantly with Pain Split, it can use Gravity to ensure the whole team's accuracy, etc. This is one mon I have actually used a bit, and I can attest to its coolness.
Elekid (18): Gen I movepool, goes mixed, great coverage, what more can I say.
Magby (12): Slower, fiery version of Electivire.
Aerodactyl (9): Super fast, perfect accuracy Stone Edge, Taunt, Torment, Tailwind, Whirlwind/Roar, nice coverage, more Gen I movepoolness. Also, its stats ain't bad at all; the only thing more you could ask for is natural 5 Atk.
Munchlax (32): Super duper movepool, and I feel like Whatever-it-is Incense giving it No Guard will just make it all the better, especially since it doesn't mind the -1/2 priority.
Togepi (30): Paralysis plus STAB Air Slash with Serene Grace is pretty great. Furthermore, Hustle makes its physical attacks viable regardless of its nature, especially Sky Attack and Extremespeed. It probably gets good supportive moves that idk about yet since I haven't used it.
Aipom (7): It gets Skill Link and Technician; how can anyone not love that? Probably because that basically only affects Fury Swipes... but that's still actually pretty good. It has a solid movepool between the Punches, Fake Out, Bounce, Dig (?), and even shit like Seed Bomb (lolwut?). I think this'll be really fun to use one day.
Heracross (14): Quite a STABer plus Stone Edge and Payback, but it looks fun to use.
Skarmory (7): Why the fuck did 6 other people get one. I basically got one to increase my number of Steel mons.
Pupitar (33): Tyranitar hasn't been mentioned much as one of ASB's incredible mons (I'm thinking primarily of Dragonite, Cyclohm, Gengar, Nidoking, Gallade, even Colossoil a bit), despite it's stats (110/5/4/4/4/low with Quiet nature), great supporting moves and awesome coverage, but I think this thing will kick serious ass.
Torchic (28): Blaziken is probably just a worse Infernape in ASB tbh. At least it has high powered offensive stats and typing.
Ralts (53): Gallade has very vast supporting options, as well as excellent typing, potential to go mixed, and solid coverage. One day I'll have one with like 60 moves and I'll still need more before it's good enough.
Sableye (11): How the fuck can there only be 11? It has Stall Metal Burst and Prankster FUCKING EVERYTHING. Additionally, it has OK stats and some nice coverage.
Roselia (19): Mostly fun to use because its Grass movepool and Technician, and it also has cool stats and its own item.
Duskull (23): 90/4/5/4/5/low with Quiet nature, and it isn't lacking in the move department, so I'm surprised that I don't see more of these around.
Cranidos (15): This actually has a nice special movepool, and can fucking smash shit on the physical side, so 15 seems pretty low to me.
Spiritomb (4): Why does this exist. I might just trade it away to whoever is willing to buy me an Embirch and put a counter or two in it.
Gible (25): ...why are there so many of these? I guess it's a kinda cool STABer plus Water/Fire if you go mixed, but it doesn't seem like it could do shit to anything with an Ice move. Honestly though, I guess it's a cool mon.
Timburr (18): Wow, how did this one's popularity explode? With 12 BAP elemental moves plus awesome bulkiness and other moves that its abilities can boost, this is not a mon to mess with.
Shelmet (7): With amazing speed, Accelgor seems like it has the potential to be pretty fun to use to screw with people, but at the same time has shitty stats and offense, so it kinda reminds me of Breloom.
Mienfoo (13): It seems like it could really take advantage of Hi Jump Kick and Stone Edge with the accuracy it gains from a Jolly nature, as well as Fake Out and U-Turn and whatnot to work with.
Golett (19): Iron Fist Punches, omfg... as well as No Guard Dynamic Punch and Earthquake and Fly and stuff, this bot looks like it'd be an offensive beast.
Deino (40): It's another one of those mixed dragons with great coverage, but this one doesn't have quite as good a movepool due to being Gen V, although it doesn't suffer a 4x weakness.
Larvesta (27): I just got this for the bulk with a Bold nautre. Otherwise, it just looks like a classic STABer.
Syclar (35): Technician (and Bug STAB) Icicle Spear, Tech Icy Wind, perfect accuracy Blizzard, high accuracy Sheer Cold, Tech Bug Bite, Tech Water Pulse, the shit just goes on... also, Mountaineer + U-Turn could be taken advantage of really well in Switch=OK matches.
Revenankh (26): Great Timeless Tower mon (although I didn't use one so that hardly concerns me), perfect offensive STAB, fair bulk, pretty nice coverage as well as a Ghostly movepool.
Arghonaut (27): I don't like this all too much, even though it can use its typing well with Iron Fist and whatnot, it just doesn't seem to have anything particularly special going for it.
Colossoil (28): Oh my god, this thing gets everything. It can go mixed to really use its Water movepool in addition to its STAB, it gets Bounce, Dig, and Dive, it gets U-Turn, Fake Out, Encore, Taunt, Torment, it's all just so good.
Scratchet (36): Prankster is pretty cool on this thing with Stealth Rock(?) for big matches in addition to Roost, Taunt, a lot of things I don't know about since I've never used/faced it very much, as well as really cool typing and STAB moves.
Necturna (28): Its stats are amazing, and it gets Horn Leech + Giga Drain, Leaf Storm and Power Whip, but unfortunately just Shadow Claw/Shadow Ball/Hex on the Ghost side. It also gets a bit more coverage, plus Super Fang, Torment, and Pain Split just to be that much more awful to face.
