Of the 719 officially released pokemon only 476 are actually viable. This includes eviolited pokemon. This list also includes unconventional pokemon that are technically usable but not recommend such as Mothim, Illumise, Lumineon, Relicanth... etc.

As it should stay. A dragon should be more viable than a fucking stick bug. Some animals being stronger than others adds immersions. Adding unnecessary buffs for your "bro" is dumb.

I'm going to assume OP removed the NFE Pokemon, but forgetting we have things like Chansey and Porygon2 who are just as viable as their fully evolved forms.

It would be really hard to balance Pokemon though. Ideally every fully evolved pokemon would be in the same tier and have at least 2 distinct sets, but that'll never happen because nobody would be able to balance the game to that standard

So you defined viable by your own and then pulled a number out of your ass that you thought was fitting?

Pretty much all Pokémon from UU to Ubers are 'viable' in the way that they are really good at at least one role and in many cases can do more than that to stay unpredictable.

The official PGL VGC stats seem to back up that claim as well.

Well of course UU to Ubers are viable. But that still leaves almost all of NU and a large portion of RU.

They are viable as Pokémon and used against each other but are mostly outclassed by other ones so they are less viable than them.

That's the problem with OP's phrasing here. You can't definitely say which Pokémon is viable and which is not.

I suppose your right. Although I'm pretty sure OP was taking all of the Pokémon as a whole rather than in tiers, but that's only conjecture.
nice lucky quads
