The most powerful Grass attack without drawbacks was fucking Leaf Blade and the only user was Sceptile, which best function was a Fast Sub Seeder and abusing Overgrow when the health is critical.

Then you have Thunderbolt, and even with STAB and high Special Attack, they barely 2HKO most Bulky Waters, wereas they can just stall, phaze them or just boost in their faces.

Add to that that Choice Specs didn't exist, and your best bet to break a well handled Skarmbliss was a Strong Mixed Hardhitter supported by one (or two) Bulky waters that could take hits for it.

Overall, Psychic, Water, and Dragon were really good.

Gen 1- Psychic
Gen 2- Probably Normal, but Psychic was still pretty good
Gen 3- Water, but Psychic was still up there. They kept making retardedly good Psychics (Jirachi and especially Deoxys were a lot better back then)
Gen 4- Either Dragon or Water
Gen 5- My opinion still goes to Dragon, but an argument can be made for water, Fighting, or Ground too
Gen 6- Probably Flying, but Fairy is pretty good too

So you never played Gen 2 at all, right? Snorlax is literally the god of Gen 2 OU. There is nothing that even comes close to his power.
Miltank is also very good as it is the closest thing to a counter Snorlax has. Porygon 2 can also be dangerous in the hands of a skilled player.

Also fighting is a rarely used type in Gen 2, only Machamp is relevant in OU, same goes for fighting type attacks.

Gen 2 most common threats:

Perish trapping (special attention to Thunder Misdreavus)
All forms of non-Belly Drum Snorlax (there's no guaranteed answer to DrumLax)
Mix sweepers
Jolteon + Marowak
Tentacruel
Charizard
Curse Porygon2 (and Curse anything to be honest)
Spikes users (which can be deadly with a Ghost-type or Pursuit user)
Baton Passers
Exeggutor
Zapdos
Spikes shuffling Raikou / Skarmory / Suicune
Explosion
Growth Vaporeon and Jolteon
As many variations of Gengar as possible

also how is miltank the closest thing snorlax has to a counter? The closest thing to a counter to opposing laxes is your own. Thing is Lax doesn't have a counter it's just a matter of forcing it out with a nice mixture of offensive and defensive pressure until you can pull off a free turn to win w/ your own lax or sweeper of your choice.

Drumlax doesn't have a counter, and neither does LK as long there is no Pokemon already asleep on your side. For all other variants Miltank is the safest counter. Snorlax vs. Snorlax is a 50:50 where a crit can completely kill you.

Heracross is also relevant, that's true.

So, apart from Snorlax and Blissey, which have good counters in Machamp and Heracross, why is Normal the best type in Gen 2? Makes no goddamn sense.

True that Gen 2 was pretty balanced, but I'd say that Normal still is the best type in OU (In Uber it's clearly psychic). With Snorlax normal has the obviously strongest Pokemon + 3 other viable ones in Miltank, Porygon 2, Blissey.

Miltank is the Top A rank here for a reason (this guy is an experienced Gen 2 player who knows what he's talking about). I already stated it: Miltank is the number 1 Snorlax "counter", which alone is extremely important in Gen 2.

Miltank is definitely good, what are you talking about? It was basically a physical Blissey.

Heracross was just okay while Machamp relied on what was basically a Fighting type Stone Miss, easy to stall out in the Gen of stall.

Machamp is pretty dangerous though.
With Cross Chop + Rock Slide + EQ + HP Bug it can hurt every Pokemon in the tier for good damage. Most sets use 3 of those + Curse, though (or a Rest + Curse + 2 attacks set), so there will be some mons that counter it most of the time (usually posion types as EQ is the most common attack to skip).

Psychic also has Jynx and Slowbro and Starmie in OU, though. Still Normal is the most prevelant type, because Tauros + Snorlax + Chansey are so damn good.

Yeah but are you really gonna count those with 2 types? I mean I shouldn't even mentioned Exeggcutor.

Alakazam is literally the only pure Psychic-type that was really good in OU and in every team. That's it.

Meanwhile, pure Normal types were much more prevalent.

That's because it's the only thing that has a fighting chance against Fairies. Fire only has a defensive advantage, and Poison is shit.

Enemy sent out Snorlax!
Go, Machamp!

Machamp used Cross Chop!
It's super effective!
Snorlax used Belly Drum!
It cut its own HP!
Machamp used Cross Chop!
It's super effective!
Snorlax fainted!

This isn't even taking into account Cross Chop has a high critical hit ratio, capable of OHKOing Snorlax.

Gengar's primary type is Ghost.
Venusaur's primary type is Grass.

Poison is just tacked on. When people think of real Poison types they think of Arbok and Weezing, not Gengar or Venusaur.

In a meta where everyone and their grandma runs stealth rock a fire/flying pokemon was one of the strongest on OU. Let that sink in.
