Except for the /poison. Which didn't make sense outside of gen 1.

But I still love him.

Umbreon counter it's non-mega version very hard. It can easily switch into dazzling gleam just fine and can force gengar out.

That was my biggest issue with Gen 1. Why are there so fucking many poison types? IIRC something like 20% of the dex was poison or part poison. I mean, did the Nidos really need to be part poison? Did the Nidos need to be part poison?

Really?
>>23104958
I was referring to giving psychic a fighting chance against kanto's ghost line. Why didn't they buff ghost differently? You can't make 1 evolutionary line the only option for a type and make it weak against both of the types it gets super-effective damage against.

It doesn't make sense.

Also, did we really fucking need 3 3-stage Grass/Poison lines? Why is the bellsprout line even part part poison?

>>23104997
My point is that the design of "big ugly monster creatures" can work without the poison gimmick, since there are already so fucking many of them.

The only Sugi mon that gets special treatment is Lucario.

Being OP =/= special treatment. GameFreak does not give a shit about competitive Pokemon (hence why they make things like IVs as obtuse as possible), and even if they did they have no idea how to balance their own game. (Just look at Fairy type, or Mega Rayquaza)
