Is there any other Pokémon that dropped as hard as Regice?

Regice was OU in gen 3 and became NU in gen 4.

Sceptile dropped pretty hard. He was pretty damn good in Advance and then dropped pretty hard after that. Power creep along with phys/special split.

Regice went from high-tier (top-tier?) OU to not even NU in DPPt. Nowadays he's NU at least, it seems.

Meanwhile, Tauros is forever forgotten since RSE and Exeggutor gets worse every passing generation.

For what it's worth, Tauros made it to the RU threshold, but since that was after the tiers were locked it's still NU. Same thing happened to Golurk.

It's basically a shaved Bouffalant. And Bouffalant is quite good.

I've always been interested in a 'Pokemon tiering over the years' kind of thing.

I always wonder what Pokemon would have shifted a lot within a generation.

Namely the birth of the Fighting type. Fighting types didn't really hit that hard before gen 4. Thanks to everyone and their mom getting Close Combat, Fighting went from utility to wall smashing. Literally any wall weak to steel turned to shit starting gen 4(unless they had very unique niches like Blissey). Then of course you look at the most used pokemon of DPP and you realize Regice was just a free switch in for Scizor, Tyranitar and Heatran(who can be considered as the 3 kings of gen 4).

I see. I had completely forgotten that Fighting type wasn't all that great during the earlier Generations.

It's fast, reasonably powerful and it can tear through the physical walls of RU with Sheer Force + Fire Blast or Endeavor.

It's probably not staying in that tier, though, since its Fire Blast can't touch Assault Vest users.

Right. Furthermore, it now had to deal with special attackers that did way too much damage thanks to Choice Specs. In gen 3, rest was enough recovery but when you start taking Choice Specs Draco Meteors without a reliable recovery you become dead weight. Even 200 special defense just wasn't enough for Choice Specs Latias, Gengar(with Focus Blast) and Nasty Plot users like Azelf. Not having reliable recovery is fine and dandy until pokemon start hitting you with 130+ base special attack powered 120 base power super effective attacks further boosted by either Life orb or Choice Specs. So yeah power creep.

252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Regice: 138-163 (37.9 - 44.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
