>>35901064Honestly, anyone disagreeing with this in 2018 is completely retarded.
Blastoise has proved itself many times to be literally garbage in every department.
Defensive starter? Venusaur has better defensive stats.
Offensive stats? they are so low.
>mono water>outclassed by half of the water dexso it deserves to be the worst.
>its mega is so shit that even Blastoise fans don't use itCharizard was used to be trash before it got two megas.
Vanilla Charizard was frail af and was only used for Belly Drums before Stealth Rocks raped its guts out.
Now it's Mega Y made it quite great.
Venusaur? The one the people used to shit on?
Doesn't need mega to be viable.
the only non-mega starter ranked in VGC
high offense and defense stats, isn't even the slowest.
3 broken moves in Gen1
its mega made it even more balanced.
great hidden ability while the other two have shitty ones.
can be offensive, defensive, staller, etc.. and it works great with any role.
