>>218515444 Pokenon with a decent moveset are better than 3/5 dead weight members with gimmick or completely fucked up and incompetent Pokemon set.
Only Diantha was worse than the E4 themselves because of a completely random and incoherent team.
Steven in ORAS also got that shit tier offensive Carbink and a Metagross without Earthquake completely walled byoe of his main type specializations that is Steel type. The random Aerodactyl was also a stupid choice where it was already one of Lance team members and Brock rematch teams and even then Hoenn and the rest of the regions offered better Steel and Rock Pokemon to choose from.
