I don't know if this is already being done, but it would be interesting to have a Showdown format where every Pokemon is assigned a point value based on how good they are, and then players have a set number of points they can spend to build their team. If you want to run a team with only the best, you would potentially have a team with less than six Pokemon. The "best" Pokemon in such a format would be those that can give the most bang for their buck, and give Pokemon that would otherwise be completely unviable a chance to shine.

If your favorite Pokemon is a really common favorite, like an Eeveelution, chances are that its viability has been tested in every possible way.

For TOO LONG the competitive cabal has stopped tortanator from being OU

[@typemasters2871]

Pokemon are comprised of Type, Stats, Move Pool, and Ability When it comes to optimisation people usually start with “what type has the largest STAB coverage? Which Pokemon with that STAB has the best stats for dealing damage, taking damage, and being able to move first with or without trickroom? and What are the strongest moves those Pokemon can learn?” From there the meta evolves by seeing what’s considered the most optimal and providing the most optimal answers to those commonly used Pokemon For example Flutter Mane is a fairy type with one of the highest Sp. Attack and Speed stat combination, in response an opponent might EV one of their Pokemon to deal less damage in order to survive a direct attack from Flutter Mane in order to land a second attack But I think less viable Pokemon should have niches, like Jolteon should be able to work in a rain and electric heavy meta but it should be given moves that help it that Thunderous doesn’t get, you would still want to use Thunderous most of the time but most of the time should be 90-95% rather than 110% of the time

Another way to put the argument about viability of favorites is that "even if it sounds good on paper it has to be good in practice." This is coming from someone who still plays with their favorites and just enjoys watching competitive pokemon. Yes it's exciting when things like Probopass or Sudowoodo make it to top 10 of OU because someone "figured it out" but these are exceptions not the norm. I will always say to play with what's fun but if you're gonna get mad at others you should just prove them wrong. I'm sure they tried the same thing and it didn't workout. It's about fun at the end of the day so just play what's fun to you.

[@hollamonm]

Yeah, life isn't fair for a lot of Pokemon sadly, but that's also because you need to have a "basic" Pokemon group to show off how the Legendaries and Psuedos could work well. For example, I love the Rapidash line. It's been my favorite in terms of non-starter Pokemon for years! Why? Simple. The episode entitled "The Great Race" from the VHS of the same name made me love this Pokemon! I was stoked when I heard it got a new form in Gen 8! "Finally! A form of Rapidash might be viable!" And then the DLC dropped and it was instantly Untiered again, just like the OG Kantonian version has been for years now. Still, I get that it just can't be the best. Due to the OG Phys/Special split, it was playing with a handicap as fire was special and the Physical stat was over 100, meaning that was it's primary STAB, and Arcanine outclassed it in every meaningful way. Once Phys/Special split was changed in Gen 4 though: powercreep overtook Rapidash and it couldn't hack it competitively. Well, surely Hidd- yeah, no, it sucked in gen 5 onwards even more. Doesn't stop the line from being my favorite of all time... but it's that bad to make other Pokemon look better. Arcanine and Entei being the first two that come to mind. Charizard? Perhaps? But that's a different story with it being a starter. Point is, it's hardly even usable in a Nuzlocke, where nearly every encounter is crucial long-term. Would I use a Ponyta/Rapidash in gen 4 Platinum? Sadly, only for a fire STAB until I could find something that did the job better. That's just how it is. There are intentionally BAD Pokemon simply to show off their betters. Again Rapidash vs Arcanine or Entei, both far better Pokemon, both released in the first 2 gens... Am I mad at Gamefreak? Sort of, my favorite isn't good, and it even got a new form, and it still sucks! But do I understand why that it's bad? Yes. As far as bad Pokemon being bad, it makes the good or great Pokemon look even better by comparison! Also, the last thing I'll leave those of you who read this comment with is: "For however much we try and innovate on a concept, Gamefreak is doing the same thing with each generation. First gen was the base, then the Special stat split in gen 2 along with two new types, one of which belonged to an Eeveelution, oh and held items became a thing. Gen 3 brought abilities and the current IV/EV system. Gen 4, saw the famous Physical/Special split, making previously unviable Pokemon, viable finally. Or just more viable in general. Gen 5, we got a soft reset and, at the time, a major powercreep. Gen 6? Megas and the removal of Permanent weather. Gen 7? Z-moves, removal of HM's being required. Gen 8? Dynamax, and technically G-max, but the second was more or less for kids more than adudlts imho... also no more Z-moves or Megas as well as Dexit. Gen 9? Major powercreep that'd make Gen 5 blush, AND Teratypes! So, for as much as we innovate, Gamefreak is doing the same thing each generation. As to who is better at it... well millions vs thousands, perhaps a million at most. Just some food for thought, that Gamefreak has been attempting to balance the games out and figuring out working gimmicks while the players innovate on the gimmicks or changes between gens.

This video just shows how fundamentally unbalanced Pokemon is. With all of the offensive and defensive power creep, ridiculous abilities like As One, Gen 6-8's Protean and Libero, Shadow Tag (especially when it was on Pokemon like Mega-Gengar who had Destiny bond and Explosion in Gen 6, the former which has priority), etc. And what's more is that these Pokemon can't even have their own niches anymore and in the event that they do, there are probably Pokemon who could just... do it better (making people wonder what's the point of a Pokemon having a niche in the first place). Competitive Pokemon is just, "Hyper Optimization: The video Game" at this point and It really makes me wonder why Pokemon "cares" about balance. Thank god Slaking has Truant, otherwise he'd be overpowered. Yeah, like Flutter Mane, Meridian and Calerax- Shadow aren't standing right there. Granted those are obvious examples, but what Regigigas? Did he truly deserve to have Slow Start as an ability? Most would say no, but then again, most would probably say yes just to keep the meta quote on quote, "balanced" ⚖️.

This video also emphasizes my least favorite part about competitive Pokemon, how limited the standard niches become. The more time goes on, the more Raikou and Jolteon feel like the exact same Pokemon, except one is better than the other. Sure, there are plenty of Pokemon with unique strategies that are only achievable by a handful of other Pokemon, just look at some of the interesting abilities that support Toxic spreading in Corrosion, Toxic Debris and Toxic Chain. All of these abilities offer useful utility options when your goal is to spread as much Poison as possible. However, there are even more Pokemon that just do exactly the same thing that a plethora of other sweepers, tanks and walls can also accomplish.
