For a long time, bulky waters have been a dominant force for generations. The legendary suicune, to might swampert; the unbreakable vopareon, to metagame defying gastrodon. Now we are here in 6th gen, we can clearly see the drop of usage in bulky waters.
With inital UU banlist it can be seen that only waters left in OU are rotom-w (which i consider more as an electric type, than a water type) gyarados (bulky variants are pretty rare these days), Starmie (generally used for rapid spinning) azumaril (which doesn't define a bulky water at all) and lastly tentacruel.
Only one of 5 water types that are left in OU is generally used as bulky water, which is only tentacruel. And ironically it is used more as a rapid spinner than a bulky water. That is why i was wondering, are the days of bulky waters over? will mega venusaur replace most of our needs for bulky water in this generation? What will happen to our beloved beard jelly fish?
