I mean so long as they can get a Steelix. Donphan is kinda…eh.

Iirc, yes. Things are able to start taking those Wing Attacks and Scyther is fairly frail so it tends to struggle a bit around Pryce/Clair and then on. Scizor is ranked lower due to Metal Coat and losing Wing Attack STAB with Tech. Metal Claw would be nice but you need to stave off leveling it...

It is in fact correct. At the end game, Scyther just kinda exists iirc. It goes from being a massive threat to kinda just falling off. Being an effective 2.5% encounter with a pretty hard catch rate and potentially KOing you in turn put it in B tier.

In HGSS? It most certainly can. It has access to Curse and most of the later match ups are very favorable towards it. The other issues with it is that it was slow so it easy to get abused and a good chunk of its moves were inaccurate. But ultimately it wound up in A Tier by quite a few votes if...

That is what I was referring to yes. He was put in A because of the Metal Coat issue. As for the Butterfree claim. You require extra steps such as needing Thief which is in the Rocket Hideout, on top of fhis it’s a 5% chance normally to have a Magnemite with one, 10% with Compoundeyes. It’s very...

Yeah, Steelix had the same issue. It could have been up in the higher A or even S (albeit highly unlikely), Metal Coat was the issue at hand. Scyther was put down super far due to what you stated and the other issue of actually capturing it without it killing you back. It was also found Scyther...

Holy sweet balls of fire. Is that the actual rate on that?

I can see that happening though I have my apprehensions. The first major thing is that the 3DS EShop is dead. You cannot buy anything off it, add funds, etc. (Unless I am mistaken) That isn't to say in the future that these games may make it on NSO (Switch Online) or get a port of sorts that...

Hi yes, I am alive still. I took a leave of absence (again). Life got in the way and after the last debacle on the list, I lost quite a lot of motivation. I won't hash it out. Those that are curious can easily go and see if if they so choose to. Let me do some responses and catch everyone up on...

It's not a problem. I may have come off way to blunt there as well so I apologize. I will be doing a quick run on Slowbro and Eggs here to get input in as well since they seem to be talked about quite a bit here. I will probably test it as Slowpoke, get a Slowbro, and test the two in conjunction...

Gengar is set into A Tier. I have never once said this. If it had been inferred in some manner, it would have been better to personally message me then assume this is what I wanted. I will be seeing the list to it's completion even in Write Ups and then retire from IGTL or at least leading them.

You can legit just cheat the clock to get it. It has nothing to do with the perfect game but more making sure we are testing every inch of a Pokemon we can. This list and HGSS used the same stat boosting items that require the exact same days to get but now it’s suddenly a problem? If it is...

No need for the name calling mate. Even if you are joking. Moving off on that, your Chuck levels are low. Simple as is. But they are off levels for sure. Even when I had Gengar horribly overleveled around Morty, I still got to Chuck with 29s average and a Chinchou absorbing a lot of XP. I had...

Thanks for this. Most of the Pokemon that are tied are unclear or ones that could use a bit more. Usually if it’s a disparity of 1 test (2/1, 3/2) I usually want another just to make sure.

I would advise getting a Male Gastly. Males in GSC have a guaranteed 8 or higher attack DV. Females are 0-7. That’s also how gender is determined. Since Ghost is Physical, it tends to help.

Barring the absurd highness of Gastly (which was a whoops on my part, not that it changed the MU other than you outspeed Miltank at Whitney and Morty. Most levels were 2 to 3 under Gengar. I treated Gengar as my “starter” more or less. Levels are reflective of a casual playthrough using 4...

Because route clearing isn’t really that important in the scheme of things? Hence it’s not really mentioned at all in logs at all. Sure we may mention it but it’s not something we tier a Pokemon based on. But if you want to know, it’s literally just click Lick and Hypnosis for the more bulky...

So test is done. Before I post the logs, I want to talk about the A and B discourse. I can see why most think B. The beginning of it is pretty bad. It takes til 21 for it to do anything notable. However, I am also seeing people overhype the amount of Trainers with Normal Types on their team. If...

I can do a test on all those here. I am at Chuck right now with Gengar and about to do the test there. I have some opinions on Gastly (Trade) and do see why B was a consideration. Once I am done with my test I will go more into detail. Should have it done in the next few days.

That's a fair point yeah. Chuck you can reasonably be matching his level or getting close to. Jasmine being 5 over Chuck isn't something you can catch up to at all in how the lists test. So you typically have to depend on Held Item + SE moves to deal with Steelix. But after, it's been explained...
