Competitive Pokemon's Greatest Fall-Off.

Hahahahaahaahahah

Raikou took that away from him with his past paradox form Raging Bolt AKA Great Neck. Even Girafarig mocks him with the evolution Farigiraf. I suspect the past paradox form of Gholdengo, Old Money, is involved.

Exeggutor used to be an eggcellent competitive Pokémon. But now it is left scrambling for ussage. It will need to hatch a plan to be viable once more.

[@JoshTseng]

It needs a buff, to get more yolked, you could say. Turns out Eggy after Gen 1 wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Jumped out of the pan, and into the fire. Guess the last one in ZU is a rotten egg.

[@LookingForTheTop]

Exeggutor also suffers from the mechanic changes from gen 2 onwards. It has decent HP and physical bulk, and the decent HP can cover up for the lackluster special defense, but while back in the day it could run all its stars maxxed out, after EVs were introduced it has to choose. If it has bulk it has no power, if it has power it has no bulk, and either way its still a slow pokemon anyways

@Super_Top_Secret_Area it has similar jobs and relevant targets. Mostly special attacker aiming at fighting and neutral attacks. Fairy also targets dragons, which is significantly viable and has been the main draw of ice types... well icebeam/blizzard on water types. Fairy hitting dark types for super effective damage is just type icing on the cake.

Every time I see people dump on mediocre modern gen pokemon, i remember that something as simple as Avalugg would completely upend Gen 1 OU and feel bad that they never really had their shot at glory.

[@l.t.c3847]

Avalugg would possibly get banned from gen 1 OU. The literal strongest (unboosted) move in the game, snorlax’s self destruct, does 57% max. Admittedly the special attackers chunk it for a lot, but having a catch all physical switch in to pair with chansey that can smack you back incredibly hard is very scary. Esspecislly considering avalugg would be the only phys was with reliable recovery.!

[@bird5306]

Honestly I was expecting a video on Tauros, from the best pokemon in gen 1 to ZU in gen 9

[@GIR177]

Tauros definitely had a worse drop off between gens than Eggy, from being the best mon in RBY OU to barely reaching D tier viability in GSC OU, but Eggy has suffered a lot worse overall since the change from stat experience to effort values. Tauros at least had naturally good speed to help it keep up with faster metagames, and Sheer Force was a nifty power boost.

[@usernametaken017]

I had commented something along these lines too. My man was at the top of the world and now he's barely getting enough usage to pay rent

[@MAYOFORCE]

Exeggutor was something I didn't think twice about for most of my time playing pokemon until I heard about how good he was in Gen 1 comp. Now he's one of my favorite pokemon. And I think that's where a lot of the appeal of old pokemon competitive comes from, people are generally surprised to see what mons end up being in the highest tiers when they hear about them for the first time. These days it seems the best pokemon in current gens are whatever Game Freak decides to make absurdly powerful and there's little to no surprise anymore.

[@BorkBigFrighten2]

I personally feel like Snorlax had the largest fall from grace. Snorlax has landed higher on the food chain than Exeggutor over the years, but he also fell from a much, much higher place. Going from a top 5 best Pokemon in RBY (including the Mews), then becoming the best Pokemon in GSC, even in Ubers, falling all the way down to ZU in SV is a hell of a tumble.

[@bedalred412]

Well it's the case of Tauros, Eggy and Snorlax finally ... SV ZU = RBY OU ?

[@EggscellentTree]

I wish they gave him coverage option , only special coverage it has outside of stab is sludge bomb. I hope they gave him earthpower to hit steel types

[@sirmoony5633]

I actually tried out Exeggutor in some Gen 5 OU battles as part of a sun team i made. Since it has access to Harvest, I can just give it some defensive investment and then give it a Sitrus Berry for recovery. I also gave it the moveset of Giga Drain, Substitute, Leech Seed and Psyshock. And under permanent sun from Ninetails' Drought, if everything works in my favor, it would work wonders for Eggy and it's Harvest ability. I even let it hold a Starf Berry sometimes too. LOL

Tauros has a more extreme fall off (I don’t count regional varients). It went from an auto include to not good in one generation and has just gotten worse.

[@thegreatphantus1627]

This has been bothering me for a while now. I'm not into damage calcs, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but how does the "Half Enemy Defense = Double Base Power" equation work? Logically, it would work something like this: Normal Defense: 250 Base Power - 100 Defense = 150 Damage Halved Defense: 250 Base Power - 50 Defense = 200 Damage If you were to use a 500 Base Power move against a Pokemon with 100 Defense, you would deal 400 Damage by that logic. Maybe somebody can clarify how it actually works, because I've heard this so many times and yet it never made sense to me.

[@darienwest4748]

Its because Pokemon damage isn't just Base Power subtracted by Defense, there's a very complicated formula but the main part that would clear up your confusion is "Move Power x Attack Stat / Defense Stat". If we use your example in the formula, this is what we get: Normal Defense: 250 Base Power x 100 Attack / 100 Defense = 250 Halved Defense: 250 Base Power x 100 Attack / 50 Defense = 500 Those wouldn't be the real damage numbers for those stats because the formula is way longer (you can see the full thing on the Damage page on Bulbapedia) but hopefully this gives you a clear picture on the Power vs Defense part.

unpopular opinion: exeggutor was never as good as he was hyped to be due to his 7 weaknesses (similar to gen3 tyranitar who is overhyped when he simply has far too many weaknesses)

[@bedalred412]

In fact, in gen 1 ou, five weaknesses were not or almost inexistent (bug, dark, ghost, poison, fire). So Eggy had just two weaknesses ! Ice and Flying. And it had crucial resistances, like water, electric, ground and Psychic. And after gen 1... 2 weaknesses became 7 weaknesses indeed.

[@hakkbak]

@@bedalred412 I agree with this. And by gen3 eggy was pretty much done for

[@Aquilenne]

​@@bedalred412 Also that flying weakness was very easy to account for because the only pokemon with a decent flying move was Zapdos, who you're probably going to Golem/Rhydon on anyway.
