Top 10 Pokemon that Fell Off

[@mariemely3769]

I couldn’t believe it when I heard that Tyranitar dropped to RU in Gen 9. I’m not a competitive player but I do know that Ttar was in OU for like the longest time

[@haters3327]

it's been in every gen except gen 9

[@definitelyadragon1644]

The reason it's in RU now because its typing leaves it vulnearable to many fast fighting type Pokemon and its speed stat prevents it from outspeeding many Pokemon and from setting up dragon dance.

[@MayHugger]

@@definitelyadragon1644Then just Tera away the typing.

[@TundraRage]

​@MayHugger That's another reason why it fell. It relies too much on Tera, when something requires a Tera to be effective (of which it's not) then it's not very good. Because then you wasted your Tera on something useless when you could Tera something more useful.

[@TundraRage]

​@@MayHuggerIt also is outclassed by Garganacl.

Honorable Mention: Walrein It was one of the best hail Pokémon in Gens 4 and 5 because weather effects were permanent. As of Gen 6, weather effects only last 5 turns. Thus, Walrein isn’t as much of a powerhouse since. It’s still a good Pokémon imo.

Mimikyu is still kinda used in VGC. It has a niche where it's a Trick Room user that isn't affected by Fake Out so it still works at times.

[@thedarthbear]

As a big fan of Vaporeon, it losing Toxic by the time I came back to Pokemon in Gen 8 was tragic. :~ The Teal Mask got my hopes up when I saw Toxic back as a TM, but they still said no. :(

[@robertlupa8273]

At least Umbreon got it back.

[@goGothitaLOL]

It did get Scald and Flip Turn tho Even when Alomomola is better with Regenerator

[@philtess3126]

Vaporeon losing toxic just improves its breedability to be fair.

I automatically thought "Starmie" upon hearing Metropolis Zone music. I think those explosive starfish (not Starmie; play Sonic 2 and you'll understand) have left a lasting impact on me.

Starmie was more deserving of a spot than Tauros or Metagross. 6 gens in OU and yet it’s now in NU.

staraptor with choice scarf its still great. with the damage that it takes from its own moves it cant be hit too, but the damage that it can do because of reckless its crazy

[@kenw.1520]

Mew will be back. Lack of recovery is bad, but I'm sure that recovery will come back with one of the DLC's coming out. But no mention of Talonflame? That Pokemon was everywhere for ONE generation and then he died. Like he never lived to begin with. The Gale Wings nerf was too much. It's not like Stealth Rocks has gone anywhere. (Not to mention the loss of the Flying Gem.) And he was never impossible to deal with in VGC. With all the power creep that has been going on, Talonflame would need Full Power Gale Wings just to be relevant again.

[@Regeor]

I don’t know anything about all these tiers but I’m watching regardless.

[@goGothitaLOL]

Singles tier-list basically: OU = top-tier UU = high-tier RU = mid-tier NU = low-tier PU = bottom-tier ZU/Untitled = unviable

[@Netherwolf6100]

I would probably add Aegislash to the list. It started off God-tier and then one 20-point nerf and 1 generation later, it just fell off. Not as bad as Metagross, which is a damn shame but yeah, its rarely used anymore.

[@loopygordo]

Aegislash didnt drop cause the stat cut it was cause the meta in gen 8 just wasnt kind to it. The other major part is dynamax sucked with it because it couldn't stance change. Also agislash isnt in SV i believe.

[@Netherwolf6100]

@loopygordo that's why I said "20-point nerf *AND* 1 generation later". It's a combination of the 2 that killed it and dropped it to UU

I would say Charizard fell off hard, as it was very good in gen 8 but in gen 9 it got slumpt by power creep. HOWEVER. Chi Yu got banned from OU, and Charizard got Weather ball back. Lategame, Charizard is really good at picking up KOs even on resists. (cleanly oneshots Great Tusk and Gliscor, as well as 2 shotting Slowking) so i can see charizard making a comeback. Maybe the next DLC will give him what he needs to make a full return. EDIT: i should specify that you should run Specs + Solar Power. this set is really draining of course. I wish zard could get Roost back, so i could run Life Orb instead.
