Maybe im looking at this in a very simple way, but Gen 2 is often defined by stall, slowly wittling down the opponent, and so the famous skarmbliss was formed, a stapple of many ou teams.
Now, im not saying every team OU teams have that, but here is a pokemon that counters/outright destroys both, why is it only BL?
Ofc, bulky waters would often come in, but this gives you an opportunity, with charizard, to almost destroy that bulky water type, or switch in to a suituable counter to the bulky water when your opponent have skarmory/blissey out. Ofc, there is also fast electrics that could come in on a belly drum, but more than likely, whenever skarmbliss is out, you often get an easy switch to a suitable counter, seeing as neither can deal with Charizard at all(Blissey with sing is an exception).
Do i overestimate Charizards raw wall-breaking powers here? I would have thought that beating both the best physical wall and the best special wall on its own would give it OU status?
