Azumarill suddenly has STAB that matches Huge Power, too.

Girafarig is very similar to Stantler. However, it has a bonus Psychic-Type and comes a bit later. Dual STAB is nice but not having natural Psychic in its movepool is lame - but I guess Psybeam is an OK replacement... Girafarig can't hold a candle to the Abra family, but I agree C tier is a bit...

Exactly, it happens all the time with Misdreavus. And that's why I was so adamant about its B-tier ranking. Its bulk and staying power is way better in practice than it looks on paper.

I'm an avid Nuzlocke player, and I actually found some Shinies. Of the top of my head: LeafGreen: A Rattata, the first wild Pokémon of the game. Problem - as you may have guessed, I had no Pokéballs. SS: A Geodude which used Selfdestruct (lolfail), Hoothoot, Smogo Pearl: Zubat, Roselia Black...

I totally agree. I had Espeon / Umbreon / Croconaw / Entei / Ampharos / Misdreavus in my most recent playthough, and Umbreon was a near-unbreakable wall. Slap Toxic on it and you have a stalling behemoth. It isn't OHKO things anytime soon, but in some difficult fights it can really pull its own...

Just right on time, I just finished another Colosseum playthrough! I'd like to advocate Misdreavus for High tier. On paper, it is a bit eh; its stats are nothing spectacular (in the late game, at least), I agree. However, its natural movepool is actually interesting (Confuse Ray, Shadow Ball...

As I said, Pryce has extremely low-leveled Pokemons. So it's really easy to be overleveled (remember that Jasmine has actually higher levels) and beat Pryce without much trouble. And Mud Slap is 4x effective against the Magnemites, so it won't become a war of Sonic Booms. Don't worry, I've...

Pryce? Meganium is the only one that hits everything he has with STAB Super Effective damage. In return, the strongest move you'll take is Aurora Beam from a far underleveled Dewgong (which is not really a powerhouse). Meganium murders Pryce, not the other way around. It's perfectly workable...

Chikorita is fine in B. It's the worst of the 3 starters - and that's why it's in B. But we are not compairing/thinking "Wow, why am I using a Chikorita if I could grab myself a Totodile?"; it's more about the actual performance during the game. I while the first 2 gyms are a nightmare, its...

Ended my first playthrough of Moon with Decidueye / A-Marowak / Rimbombee / A-Raticate / Lycanroc / Toucannon. About Decidueye, A-Raticate and Toucannon: Nothing to argue there, most have been said and their tiering is accurate imo. Ribombee: Limbo A/B tier. I'm torn on this one. Its typing is...

About the worst Pokemon in DPPt, Male Combee definitely is a contender. Terrible typing + poor movepool + horrible stats bar an average Speed? Yeah...

Yesterday, my Black Nuzlocke. Thebes my Fraxure vs Cincinno. Cincinno is first. It uses Tail Slap. Critical Hit! Critical Hit! Critical Hit! Critical Hit! Thebes fainted! Kill. Me. Now.

I like the fact that you're quoting my post, but, in the other hand, you're not providing any answer to the arguments and questions other members had made. Imo, the only zones in the game where Braixen struggles are Grant's Gym and Reflection Cave. Gym-wise its mid-game is actually good. Bad...

In a world where Fennekin deserved D-tier, Chespin would be F-tier. It's fine in A-tier. Braixen's performance is so-so, but that's why it's not S-tier. Fennekin is the best of the 3 starters by a wide margin.

What is Stantler doing in D? It's available quite early, and it can hurt quite a bit with 95 Atk (and it can learn some cool stuff like Shadow Ball and Earthquake), and it's actually fast with 85 Speed. Its bulk is quite average, but being a Normal-Type in Gen 2 is a blessing. It should be...
