@Flaming_Rok4 ай бұрын
Dewgong is starting to have an interesting lower tier history, particularly in Gen 1 UU where it's the best defensive answer to Articuno. But in general Seadra's worse than you think it is, so being outclassed by Dewgong isn't super surprising.

Honestly i had sort of the opposite reaction. I never dabbled much in competitive, but i was surprised when i heard a gen 2 randomizer speedrunner say that kingdra was top A tier. I was like "i didnt think its stats were that good" since to me the only thing it had was good typing/almost no weaknesses. For neutral hits it always seemed like a mid stat pokemon to me. Usually high speed and high offense is preferred for those runs (like Aerodactyl or Dodrio) but i guess bulk helps when you use X items.

@joeyyoung5173 Physical Kingdra has been very very niche compared to Special Kingdra especially post Gen 4. It's not that you are "guessing" when you see a Kingdra in front of you, you'll assume it's special as Physical Kingdra doesn't cross your mind. You might want to run it Physical to catch people off guard, but you'd end up with a much *much* worse Pokemon overall as Physical Kingdra has a worse coverage (by a lot actually as on the special side it can use Ice Beam and Hurricane) and raw power and you'd also be running a severely outclassed Physical rain sweeper (why not use Barraskweda, Kabutops, Basculegion etc ?) and if you're trying to do it with a Sniper Set then you're infinitely worse at abusing it since you don't have Draco Meteor to spam. And if you're trying to do a Dragon Dance set then congratulations, you've got like the 25th best DD user available. Physical Kingdra is a non factor. You could drop it's attack to 55 and increase it's SpA and HP by 20 each and the mon would be a lot better with not a lot lost in the process

I don't think I have the book anymore, but I do remember her drawing of a glittery purple and blue Seadra evolution with queen motifs and long seaweed tendrils.

Seadra is one of mid stage evos that desperately needs some sort of buff(s) alongside its evo, but in slightly different ways (albeit in large part stemming from their rather shallow movepools). That said, I really like how your remake videos are covering more of the initially fully evolved pokes' careers instead of ending said points to once they get their evos, & I'd have thought it'd be a one-off thing with Onix & Steelix. Brings more need to recognize Middle Cup and/NFE tiers as full out metagame tiers like how Little Cup does so than ever before
