>tfw your favorite mon got power crept and is no longer competitively viable
>>
>>57195412
It’s ok most of the fanbase just cries about powercreep without actually playing the games

Wobbuffet and I have been on a ride.
From shit to godly to shit.
The pendulum will swing to godly again one day…

if youre good at the game anything is competitively viable

More Pokemon are competitively viable than you think. Stop staring at smogshit tier lists.

I quit playing comp and being invested in this franchise once my bros like Gyarados and Aerodactyl stopped being viable in Gen 7. What the fuck is even the point anymore? GF just forces cancer each new generation, and makes the game more gimmicky and unfun just like Yugioh and all the other jap games that have tons of power creep. I'm a main quest casual fag now. Honestly Gen 6 was the beginning of the end of comp being fun. Fairies and the start of generational/regional gimmicks ruined the balance of the game. Fairies should have been a very rare type like Ghosts and Dragons were in Gens 1 and 2 rather than a heavily spammed type like Ice, Flying, Ground, and Poison.

>heavily spammed type like Ice
Ice is the single rarest type IIRC.

> this is no longer an issue
>>
>>57196958
Ice, fairy, and Poison are the three least common types. They’re spammed because two counter dragon and one counters fairy.
>>
>>57196958
>Gyarados not viable
I'm sorry, but... what?
>>
>>57197558
You're thinking of moves. Ghost is third least common type. Poison is a common type.
>>
>>57197580
Ignore him, he doesn't play the game.

They tried gutting my favorite's ability but he's still getting use to this day
>>
>>57197635
The hilarious thing is smogon tiers exist specifically so pokemon that might be outshined by others can still be used viably in a more fitting metagame for them but I don't think a large portion of /vp/ understands this and just thinks tiers that aren't ou exist so you can mock them for being "shitmons"
>>
>>57195412
That's why smogon has low tiers. You like Articuno and Rhydon? Just play ZU.
>>
>>57196507
This is a factually incorrect post. Smogon makes MORE mons viable, not less. That's the whole point of usage-based tiering. Don't talk about things you don't understand.

utterly retarded

Somehow happened to Jolteon, though that's mostly from losing all his moves.
>>
>>57196958
this feels like an AI trained exclusively on /vp/ posts that has no actual knowledge of the games
>>
>>57197986
jolteon's better in sv than it's been in a long time anon...
>>
>>57195412
>favorite mon was never viable in the first place
Who cares
>>
>>57198006
Because of Tera or because of a better movepool aside from Ice Tera Blast?
>>
>>57197824
It was always shit though
