I remember the time where tauros was one of the strongest pokemon, if he was out, the game was 90% over.

110 base speed, in RBY higher speed caused higher crit chance, so every move had >20% chance of a crit
STAB body slam for a further 30% chance of para and good damage regardless
STAB Hyper beam, in RBY when you knocked something out with hyper beam, you avoided the recharge
EQ for Gengar (who Persian can't beat >>21369142)

There were no such thing as smogon back in the days, or so called sets.

This is just plain bullshit, those sets have been created years after the actual games.

It's a shame. He's not a bad Pokemon now, but nobody would want to use him over mega mom.

In addition to>>21369172, also 90% accurate Blizzards off of 70 special, which wasn't bad at the time. It beat everything in OU that wasn't Slowbro or Exeggutor (though it had to be wary of things with counter and t-wave)

In trying to be anti-Smogon centric, you have implied that there was no competitive sense or idea of good sets before it. Top, top kek

110 speed is only average now. He doesn't get body slam, lacks the reliable kill move of Hyper Beam, has a shit special attack and blizzard is too inaccurate now. Also normal type is no longer considered a good thing.

I'll give it his abilities are useful and he still gets EQ. But even with no mega milf there would be no way the thing would get used still.

Yes it did. Even ADV has better joke teams with Tauros than GSC, because magneton and CB.

Hyper Beam nerf and Skarmory are one hell of a change. Tauros fell to UU (and got banned from there), but it's still not OU.
