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...

I actually agree. Ampharos is quite strong, Fire/Electric coverage is actually pretty good, and 90/75/90 defenses are solid. It is quite slow but doesn't have any bad matchups. It has a slow start, as it has actually no grind a couple of levels before learning Thundershock (Because Tackle...

D-tier for Chickorita? Nope. The first two gyms are awful, but Bayleef is actually pretty great against Whitney with Reflect + PoisonPowder + decently strong Razor Leaf (Bye Miltank). Mud Slap can help for Morty and Jasmine's Magnemites, Chuck is beaten by Protect + Razor Leaf (Poliwhirl doesn't...

Yep, the birds are better suited to A-tier. Murkrow isn't mentionned in the first post. Regardless of this, it's an obvious E-tier.

Then Suicune (C) should be at least A-tier. Good offensive presence, with one of the strongest Surfs (pumped with Rain Dance), can tank hits like a champ, fares extremely well against the Elite 4, has Aurora Beam which completely wrecks Lance... S-tier is maybe too high, but B is too low.

I wholeheartedly agree with some of Lucchini's suggestions. Wooper is extremely good. Early evolution, great dual-STAB, learns Earthquake by level-up (so you'll end with Surf/Earthquake/Ice Punch/whatevs) and has solid stats. B-tier at least. Miltank is way too good to C. Excellent bulk, fast...
