It's not a bad pokemon per se, just extremely outclassed in nearly anything it does.
His HA also isn't as interesting now with megastones hindering it's use and the buffed knock off being the superior option.

from the Snorlax one

"One greasy, tubby hand pawed at the remote, while the other buried itself in a bag of expired cheetos. He flipped the TV on just in time to watch a Mega Lucario ram a Close Combat right into the face of a Delphox. Snorlax heard a faint voice utter "It's not very effective" as the magical fox fell to the ground in agony."

People threw autistic fits about the delphox thing and now they do it every time because people like OP give them publicity over it.

It's because any publicity is good publicity, and before this little delphox thing nobody was going to serebii to read competitive write-ups.

They're mad because Charizard is undeniably great now, so they're taking out their Grass-starterfag frustrations on the next best thing, this gen's Fire starter.

Too bad their precious Venusaurs and Chesnaughts both have weaknesses to both of Delphox's types.

You're aware that Venusaur got a mega, right? It's pretty good, you know. Great natural bulk, and it's only weak to the fairly uncommon Flying (except on Talonflame) and Psychic types.

I'm a charizardfag bro but you do realise that better doesn't necesarily mean 1v1ing. Like for example mega lucario is pretty much top of OU atm but there are counters in tiers like uu who could kill it easily but that doesn't make it better. Also mega venusaur has thick fat which would make the super effectiveness redundant anyway

I was actually including the megas with that as well, but even if you don't, Venusaur is still better because Charizard is useless without sun too, and Venusaur works better as a sun sweeper due to superior typing and ability.

That doesn't help your argument at all. All you did was say "pokemon have weaknesses!"

all you fucking did was list some 1v1 situation that would never actually happen in 6v6 unless the player using the pokemon was retarded.

That's like me saying Garchomp is weaker than Weavile cause Weavile can wreck him with any Ice move.
