Why is Hyper Beam so weak but have every other medium spam it like some god move?
>PMD
Hyper beam used to save the world
>anime
Spammed as THE generic signature move for any hyped up mon
>manga
similar to the anime

And yet in the game is a shit tier move outside of Porygon or M.Gardevoir cheese, what does Nintendo need to do to make Hyper Beam competitively viable or just in general useful?

Either buff the power to 250 or give it back Gen 1 killstreaks.

Isn't Hyper Beam good on a few select pokémon, though? Say, Adaptability Porygon-Z? It's something I guess.

It's a niche move on Porygon-Z and Mega Pidgeot. Otherwise it's completely worthless.

Remove recharge time, Boomburst is by far superior to Hyper Beam

And yet Boomburst is portrayed as weak shit in the anime. Probably because it belongs to Jobbervern.

Because Gen 1 let you go on genocidal rampages against the entire enemy team with it. If you KO'd another Pokemon with it, there was no recharge time, which meant it WAS a very godly move.

A Dragonite spamming Hyper Beam was the most broken thing after Mewtwo, because all normal moves operated off the attack stat and Dragonite's was godly by gen 1 standards.

Hyper beam USED to be a super powerful, godly move.

And then Gen 4 happened. The physical/special split, along with the massive power creep eventually marginalized the move.

outside of gen 1 it never was

there were always plenty of 'mons that could stand up to a hyper beam and killing something with a hyper beam was generally speaking NOT a good idea since it gave your opponent a free turn to set up whatever horrible stat boosting move he had, then sweep your team

it's great in doubles and triples because of wide guard baiting.

Specs adaptability porygon z will OHKO most things but you are giving opponent an opportunity to set up on you during the recharge. I've had a lot of fun with it though
