Merritt Impressive work! Xen I was referring to Hiddenfreezer's comment why Zubat should be B when Pidgey was C, and since Zubat was downgraded shortly after that, I assumed that it played a role in this downgrade. Basically I thought someone suggested that Zubat is not better than Pidgey and...

Again, I never questioned that Zubat has worse availability than Pidgey, it obviously has. The difference is just that I don't think this justifies a tier downgrade, as again, Pidgeotto evolves much later (see next point) According to your own words, that would be 3 gym leaders where you have...

Really? I compare Zubat and Pidgey in every point that has been brought up while your post has only availability as main criticism but I'm focusing too much on similarities? I focused on ALL points, including availability, and I also stated that Pidgey has better availability, but that it also...

Yes, but it is very much possible to put Pokemon of a similar tier into the same tier. That's the entire point of this thread. Let's say each Pokemon in the B tier is an 8.0-8.9 and each Pokemon in the C tier is an 7.0-7.9. For the scenario we just witnessed to appear (Pidgey one tier up...

Regarding the Pidgey issue, whether it belongs to B or C I'll leave to Colonel M. However, I disagree with putting it into a different tier than Zubat. Both should either be B or C. Zubat was one of the more often discussed Pokemon in the thread and for a long time, the consensus was B. Now...

Just for the protocol, Lv13 Golbat at Mt Mortar is Crystal only. Universally, Golbat in Mt Mortar is only available after gathering 8 badges. Crobat is still justified in the B tier if you choose the optimal way to get Golbat. After Morty, backtrack to Azalea Town, receive the Friend Ball that...

The 1st turn to paralyze the opponent is a drawback, true, but after that first turn, Dratini is almost always faster than the opponent, which means it will use attract first. The probability that the subsequent attack of the foe gets through is only 37%. And starting with the following turn...

Can you elaborate why you think Dratini is just medicore? Stat-wise maybe, but Dragonair should already be decent, and Surf+Attract+Thunder Wave+Headbutt rocked the game for me so far

I'm currently replaying Gold and I might give my input as well (hopefully it's not completely off topic): Atm I'm in Ecruteak City and have yet to battle Morty. The current team is Quilava, Kadabra, Gastly, Nidorino and Dratini. Nothing has to be added about Quilava and Kadabra. They are...

Oh no, I'm not referring to Voltorb Flip, I mean this. But yeah, I can understand your other points.

Is Dratini in the D tier justified? I searched the entire thread but so far, Dratini hasn't even been discussed. If memory serves me right, you can get it fairly early in the Game Corner. Sure it costs many coins, but I once heard that you would win more than you lose with the card flip game in...

Oh no, what happened? It could still run the same Choice Band Technician set, right? But I guess the meta changed too much...

Is normal Scizor (not Mega) still the threat it used to be in DPP and BW?

First of all, thanks for your answers :) But could you elaborate on this a bit more? I'm well aware that Battle Spot is run by Nintendo and that some Pokemon are good in BS but bad in OU and vice versa, hence the tiering differences. But my question is, why do Pokemon work so differently in...

Why are there so many tiering differences between OU and Battle Spot? I'm not talking about obvious things (Blaziken forbidden in OU but legal in Battle Spot) but other Pokemon. Here are some examples: Pheromosa (OU:S, BS:B+), Dugtrio (OU:A, BS: not listed), Tangrowth (OU:A, BS: not listed)...

Hey there, competitively inexperienced player here. My question: Is it now mandatory to have at least 1 Tapu in the team to stay competitively viable? Their field effects seem to be so fundamental that it might be a disadvantage not to use them. Or is this more like weather, meaning you can...

So I guess Ash Greninja is above Primarina in terms of viability? As for Magnezone, I'm torn between it and Metagross. Magnezone is much better in terms of utility but Metagross gets the style points. Both on 1 team would probably be steel-overkill

If Ash Greninja were obtainable for everyone, where would it be on the list? S-tier? I'm asking because I just got a Popplio via Wonder Trade and now I have to decide between Popplio and Greninja

Hey guys, I'm new here and this is my first post :) So I was wondering how the former behemoth would fare in Gen VI. To clarify what hypothetical Pokemon I'm talking about: RBY Mewtwo Psychic type 106/110/90/154/154/130 - Total = 744 (no split of the special stat) Ability: Blast from the...
