Yeah but to be fair, Machamp sometimes runs Earthquake so it wouldn't change the matchup too much

It'd for sure be great in UU just for the fact it'd be the only Dark-type available in UU with respectable stats. Being able to take on each Psychic and Ghost sounds good. Also, for fun, Im gonna throw in a bonus question of how good would Muk be if it got all the Dark-type moves it'd want in the OP

Assuming no other changes, does Muk possibly make it to OU? No movepool changes either meaning its only Dark move is Thief so its really only good defensively. Also, is there a better place to post this? Theorymon stuff in general? Also, for fun, how good would it be if it did get the good Dark...

What's Meganium's niche?

Its nice to see Sandslash as potentially the best Swords Dancer in RBY. Its my favorite Pokemon

Whats Clefable's niche? Status spreader? Seems like a discount Chansey

I don't play much GSC UU but has anyone considered Sand Storm Stall Omastar? I hear its Omastar's niche in GSC OU (Thanks FSG for the info lol) so I figured it would be nice in UU as a support for making Nidoqueen even more vicious

So what exactly is Venusaur's niche over Victreebel that makes it ranked?

This isn't too important to note but I do find it interesting that Flareon for once is more viable than Vaporeon (Even though I think Haze Vaporeon is a fun thing to try out) when in each gen after, Flareon is really bad compared to its Eeveelution counterparts. Gen 1 is the only time you'll...

What makes Dunsparce viable?

I'd say D is truly the cutoff for viable Pokemon. Example is Sandslash is a good Ground-type Sword Dance Pokemon, which is a unique niche that can be useful. Obviously, it has its issues but its still capable of doing something genuinely admirable with that niche whereas you'd be stretching to...

I'd say Kingler is better than Kabutops but not by enough where it deserves to be a tier above it. That said, Kabutops still offers enough of a difference to warrant a ranking.

Has anyone ever started to update the niche Pokemon's pages for RBY? Would be nice to see updated analysis for Hypno, Sandslash, Persian, etc

What is Machamp's niche? Beating up Normals?

Fair reasoning.
