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.

Damn, interesting to see Venomoth actually be good in a tier prior to Gen 5.

I'm surprised Raichu isn't ranked yet. Sure, its mostly outclassed but Surf alone is genuinely a great attribute as its something Rhydon and Golem aren't willing to take.

Why is Venomoth ranked so high? Whats its niche and how does it do it well?

Whats the niches of Flareon and Dodrio exactly?

I feel like Kingdra should drop down to UU. Doesn't seem too OP though it'd probably be good thanks to its typing. Offensively, however, it isn't amazing from what I've seen

I know that they're low on the tier list but what're the reasoning for the following 'Mons being ranked: -Hitmonlee -Pikachu -Crobat -Mr. Mime -Blastoise (seems like discount Starmie) -Qwilfish

How does Dodrio perform in this tier?

I do think an E+ Rank could work. Reserved for E Pokemon that are slightly more slappable on teams. I'd say Tentacruel and Dodrio fulfill this. Whereas Rapidash has very niche advantages over say, Moltres, I'd say Pokemon in E+ Rank have just noticable enough advantages (Dodrio murders Jynx, and...
