Went from a top-tier OU mon to a top-tier UU mon.

Scrafty and hydreigon. r.i.p.

Politoed is PU.
Was once the god king of weather wars in OU.

Why? I fucking hate this thing in UU, bringing back to OU or BL

>>26962437
Flygon, probably the most tragic case of a Pokemon being left behind

>>26962600
It's only PU because Drizzle is banned in UU. It would be the king of UU otherwise, you can practically consider it BL.

>>26962593
It's a shame fairy types really fucked over those cool designs.

Scrafty was never good, and Hydreigon is still as good as it ever was

Heracross, Snorlax, both were gods
Though pre-physical/special split is probably what made them so good in comparison to everything else.

Drizzletoed and Droughtales weren't outcreeped, they got ripped by mechanic changes

It used to be an absolute terror in Ubers, splashable on almost any team, able to force at least a trade with anything, and THE go-to choice for fighting off Kyogre.

Now it is a liability to even have one on your team.

Tauros, OU in gen1
Got nothing new over the generations except two ok abilities.

This. Pathetic really, even Mewtwo isn't top tier in Ubers anymore.

At least Palkia and Dialga have a shot at getting Megas/Primals that are actually good.

>>26962884
Same for golem

>>26962931
Mewtwo Y at least has a niche as a hard Darkrai Counter, and as a victory condition.

Palkia is only Xerneas setup fodder.

The PokeGods giveth, the PokeGods taketh away.
