With all the existing mons of the type or just the type match up?

>>33056825
this

>>33056831
I was thinking more the first one, though this one >>33056825 would be closer the the second option.

Gen 1 type tiers:

>God tier
Psychic
Normal

>High tier
Water
Rock
Ghost

>Mid tier
Fighting
Electric
Ground
Flying
Grass
Dragon

>Low tier
Poison
Ice
Fire

>Bug tier
Bug

>>33056861
Switch Ice and Fighting.

>>33056831
I assume these anons are doing it considering all existing mons, otherwise ice wouldn't be so low on its own right, but when you remember than almost all of them are built as slow walls, you get why it is so low.

>God tier
Steel
Fairy
Ground (a personal pick, earthquake is just too good of a move)

>High tier
Water
Fire
Ghost

Dark
Electric

>Mid tier

I fucking hate earthquake at this point.
Ground Trainer knows it, Fire Trainer knows it and the stupid Ice trainer who has like 3 dragons has it too. it's pretty hard like that.

Although I am probably biased based on OU viable mons

>>33056958
Reminds me of a hack rom where I picked the psychic starter and every NPC had feint attack and knock off.

That I consider EQ an amazing move doesn't mean I don't hate its distribution though. It is annoying that certain mons that have no bussiness shaking the ground get it. Same thing goes for stealth rock, toxic, ice beam, knock off and many others I'm probably forgetting.

>>33056985
you forgot about Dark.

>. It is annoying that certain mons that have no bussiness shaking the ground get it. Same thing goes for stealth rock, toxic, ice beam, knock off and many others I'm probably forgetting.

yeah, pretty much. I mean Empoleon can do earthquake by itself as well but is weak against it.

>>33056994
Oh shit you are right, was going to move it from mid to low but forgot to readd it
Dark is pretty shit these days, fairy types are everywhere and psychic / ghost types are rarely ever seen in OU. Knock off and specs ash ninja Dark pulse is about the only thing it has going in OU

>>33056987
Everything learning hyper beam is also pretty dumb
