Redpill me on the Gen 2 meta, /vp/.

>Snorlax used Curse!

Why wasn't curse banned?

curselax
steelix
skarmibliss

rest sleep talk and curse; the meta

>>32964019
curse wasn't broken

Snorlax is clearly an ubers mon in gen 2 but thing didn't as liberally get banned back then as they do now

Nobody sees SD tentacruel coming
Beats Skarm with hydro pump, beats blissey with sludge bomb
deceptively fast and can take non-stab thunderbolts to close a kill

SkarmBliss is not a thing in Gen 2. If anything, the go-to defensive core is Skarmory + Raikou.

>>32964215
Didn't SkarmBliss become a thing in Gen 3?

>>32963999

>Gen 2 Meta: Hope you didn't have any plans, 'cause this Battle's gonna go on for a loooooong time

>>32964220
Yes, SkarmBliss is damn good in Gen 3. In Gen 2, Blissey is a big "Welcome, Snorlax, be my guest and set up" sign.

Was the Berserk Gene any good?

>>32964235
No. Everything had Leftovers, except Marowak and the rare Thief user (popular with Skarmory, Nidoking and Exeggutor).

>>32964249
So it was a meme item then, was Light Ball Pikachu also a meme?

>>32964257

Light Ball Pikachu is always a meme.

>>32964257
Yes, more or less. Pikachu is bottom of the barrel, Light Ball or not. Too frail in a bulky meta.

Snorlax
Zapdos
Cloyster
Exeggutor
Steelix
Vaporeon

is THE best team ever made.
