Daily reminder that Typhlosion-fag is whining about how poorly treated Typhlosion is by Game Freak and Smogon, and this is what Smogon had to say about Meganium the same generation Typhlosion was banned from PU for being too good:
>Meganium simply has no real use over other bulky Grass-types in the tier. Its abilities are useless, it has a mediocre movepool, it is very passive, and its bulk isn't even that impressive. Meganium does have some unique moves among its brethren like Dragon Tail and Aromatherapy, but otherwise you're simply better off using other defensive Grass-types such as Tangela, Roselia, and Ferroseed, which have better utility overall. As a cleric, Audino, Articuno, and even Granbull are better choices due to their superior bulk and movepools.
The last generation where Meganium wasn't considered "untiered" (or the equivalent, in Gen 4 it wasn't even given a strategy for the lowest tier, NU, since it was so bad no one thought to give it one) was Gen 3.
