First of all, thank you for the post. It is wonderful to see that there are other people who are this willing to yap about Pokemon Conquest! Out of the Pokemon you mentioned, only Forretress is a serious contender for the title of the worst Pokemon in Conquest. Make fun of the other Pokemon all...

What do you think is the worst in-game Pokemon of all time, counting any game that uses battling as its main mechanic? GSC Ledian? RBY Onix? EoS Phanpy? Whatever you think it is, you're probably wrong. Any Pokemon that has access to Struggle is leagues better than what I consider to be the worst...

In another universe, it was. Yeah. In earlier generations, it wasn't suffering because it had 60 BP Dig, it was suffering because it had NOTHING.

I dunno about this. I think Wynaut's stats don't matter because it can't earn any exp on its own with a moveset consisting of Splash, Charm, and Encore. I'll make a note of the other things you mentioned though.

missing entries in the F tier for writeups? time to play Pokemon Ruby with the worst team I've ever used in my life lmao for reference, my testing is done with neutral natures and 15 IVs in all stats. here are the writeups; you'll notice a distinct lack of the word "sweep" in all of them

I can do a writeup for Illumise.

Exceptions - These Pokemon are relevant, but cannot be tiered based on normal criteria. [/spoiler] Purgatory - Only available as a starting Pokemon on an incompatible warrior. These should not be used beyond the immediate short term. Waitlist - Only available as a starting Pokemon on a...

E tier - These Pokemon should never be used, or should be abandoned as soon as possible if the warrior starts with them. If you think you have nothing better, you are almost certainly wrong. [/spoiler] F tier - These Pokemon are so hilariously bad that no amount of mental gymnastics can...

C tier - These Pokemon have flaws that outweigh their advantages, but are usually able to contribute in at least a minor way. This is the cutoff for a Pokemon to be considered worth linking with. [/spoiler] D tier - These Pokemon have crippling flaws with few advantages to using...

Since the previous thread never resulted in a tier list and doesn't seem like it will, I've decided to create a new thread for tier list discussion, and I promise to actively maintain it. This list covers The Legend of Ransei (the first and main episode of Pokemon Conquest). The following...

I know that the usual policy is to tier Pokemon based on how much they contribute over the whole run, but if you instead view it from the perspective of "should I use this Pokemon when I do obtain it", then for Lugia the answer is probably yes. It's the bulkiest Shadow Pokemon, it's the least...

I want to put a word in for Leech Seed Lotad in Pokemon Emerald. Unlike many egg moves, you can get this as soon as you have access to the Day Care (with just a minimally-trained male Shroomish and any female Lotad) and it's a move that greatly improves Lombre's performance. Fake Out + Leech...

Towards the end of my Platinum run, I decided to pick up a high-level wild Tentacruel right before the Pokemon League and was quite happy with its performance. It set up Toxic Spikes against everyone except Aaron, which helped weaken some important foes like Garchomp, Magmortar, and Milotic. It...

I think a much more diverse and healthy metagame will appear if you cap maximum link at 70% (or at the very least, 90%). For one, Leaf Storm/Outrage/Brave Bird will actually apply their drawbacks, leading to more strategic considerations. And warriors will be less predictable: you might see...
