OK, I had the liberty of see the tier list that all staters are right now (including Megas and Ash-Greninja). Here is the list:
RU Venusaur
PU Meganium
PU Sceptile
PU Torterra
BL Serperior
RU Chesnaught
UU Decidueye
OU Mega Venusaur
UU Mega Sceptile
PU Charizard
PU Typhlosion
Uber Blaziken
UU Infernape
NU Emboar
NU Delphox
PU Incineroar
OU Mega Charizard X
OU Mega Charizard Y
Uber Mega Blaziken
RU Blastoise
RU Feraligator
UU Swampert
UU Empoleon
PU Samurott
OU Greninja
UU Primarina
UU Mega Blastoise
UU Mega Swampert
OU Ash-Greninja
Were you hoping to make a point with this?
So Grass types suck, Fire sucks without Megas and Blaziken, and Water is great no matter what.

>>32752040
Venusaur alone gives me great nostalgia for the older anime just because of the highlights on its body
>>32752054
Now do Battle spot doubles.
Everyone already knows this. Water starters are the most balance, Fire is only good because of mega which is gimmicky, grass can't do much because it's not a good offensive typing, which is why bulky mega venusar is run.
>>32752075
#5 - Charizard
#34 - Greninja
#36 - Venusaur
#42 - Swampert
#46 - Blastoise
#53 - Blaziken
#70 - Primarina
#74 - Incineroar
#78 - Infernape
#79 - Sceptile
#94 - Serperior
#97 - Typhlosion
#137 - Empoleon
#162 - Delphox
#191 - Decidueye
#267 - Torterra
#275 - Samurott
#286 - Feraligatr
#317 - Chesnaught
#349 - Meganium
#372 - Emboar
You should probably wait until after USM/USUM, the meta is still a little hectic and unstable.
Plus, Alola starters are still missing HA and move tutor which is a big thing, there's Ash-Greninja and it's move tutor moves.
>>32752054
Is this from after the Hoenn starters' megastones were released? Mega Scept is doing worse than I expected.
>>32752226
Yep
>>32751945
>>32752054
>>32752116
>the best starter of its generation continues to be the best of its typing
Where are my Venusaur bros?
>>32752159
>You should probably wait until after USM/USUM
As it they'll add anything.
>>32752024
Something tells me they regret making Samurott. I can understand it was the result of artist block, but could they at least throw it a bone? It feels bad that it tarnishes an otherwise soild record of water starters.
>>32752054
>>32752116
>Zard
Fuck you. Fuck you so fucking hard. It's only there because of two Megas. Otherwise, it's a shit fucking Pokemon. So fuck you, you little fucking princess and every single fucker that likes you. Fuck all of you. Blaziken deserves first. Greninja deserves first. Venusaur deserves first most of all. But no, the fucking snowflake with two megas get the first all the fucking time. Fuck it all.
>>32752296
Are you okay anon?
>>32752116
>Incineroar that high
y tho
>>32752296
>being this mad
>>32752333
Incineroar's better in doubles. Primarina being higher in that same format confuses me though.
>>32752296
>It's only there because of two Megas. Otherwise, it's a shit fucking Pokemon.
I mean, you can say that for all of them. Blaziken is only Uber because of its HA, otherwise it's an average Pokemon. Same for Greninja, which might be a shit Pokemon. And same for Vanisher.
The reason Zard is more shit than them is because it didn't get a good HA like all of those, and because it had SR fucking it up. Imagine, a world where SR is replaced with a move that damages Water-type on entry and Greninja had Magician for HA. It would be shit. Now imagine, a world with a Drought Zard, with no SR. And a world where Sunlight was actually more useful. See? If there's anyone getting unfair treatment, it's Zard. The only good thing to ever happen to it was getting two Megas. And after being fucked in the ass for so long by getting the shittiest treatment, yet having fans who didn't give up on it, I'd say it deserved it.
So calm down, anon. Please.
>>32752344
It's quite mediocre without intimidate and it's missing key moves, hopefully from move tutor.
While Primarina (and Decidueye for that matter) are pretty much set from the get go, their HAs are only useful for gimmicks, and move tutor can't expand much on their already perfect movesets (maybe give Decidueye a fighting type move), so basically they can't get any better than they already are.
>>32751945
mons that might be banned/rise at some point this gen:
sceptile -> NU/BL4/3
serperior -> OU
typhlosion -> NU/BL4
delphox -> NU/BL4
shit, I think that's it
kind of sad
>>32752054
>Primarina 4th out of all starters despite useless abilities and no mega
Maybe GF was right to gimp its ability and movepool a bit.
>>32751945
Now that Meganium has a lot of friends in PU, including arguably the most popular starter Charizard, is it now no longer considered the worst starter ever?
>>32753050
Mega venusaur is OU just like lando t. Do you think venu is as good or better than lando t?
>>32753145
No but at least Meganium won't be the poster child for worst starter competitively. :^(
>>32752357
This.
>>32752296
>Muah Muah a pokémon I don't like is popular and used a lot
Kys faggot. What a fucking retard.
Is speed boost blaziken still that broken?
>>32755528
It isn't broken on Battle Spot, but still really good.
It's Ubers on Showdown.
>>32755528
yes.
>>32755536
battlsespot is basically 3v3 Ubers without the box legends
