Ok, so I'm obviously someone who likes weird-ish kinds of metagames, and I did the level-up only thread as well, so that proves that point.
Ok, so the metagame this time is the 2/3 stage evolution metagame.
This means that you're only able to use things that are the 2nd stage of an evolution but are not fully evolved yet. Eg. In the Beedrill line, Kakuna would be the 2/3 stage.
The eligible pokemon would be:
Bold = Was fully evolved in past generations, but received new evolutions to make is a 2/3 stage evo (I'm even putting it bold if they changed from something like RBY --> GSC)

Yes, that's only 59 pokemon that are eligible, but that doesn't matter, even though most are from the 1st generation.
Ok, so obviously the previously fully evolved pokemon like Rhydon are going to be killer in this metagame.
I have a feeling that Chansey would be used as the key special wall, and you'd probably see Kadabra or Haunter as Special sweepers.
Let's discuss some movesets and pokemon that would be good in this metagame. [PS. Don't mention Kakuna w/Harden and Poison Sting, we all know it would dominate. =)]
