Because Belly Drum Azumarill still runs over it, so it doesn't do its job as well as other Grass types.

The reason it's getting more recognition of late is that Volcanion's release and use discourages Azu from setting up.

Because it recently moved up to OU.

People are too scared to use things not classified as OU for some reason.

It became OU because people started using it. You're putting the cart before the horse

It's scary effective. Especially in Battle Spot because it can pressure you to bring your counter when they really bring Azu's counter's counter instead, like a Mega Pinsir for Mega Venusaur.

I totally agree. I'm an avid user of non-OU things in OU, but scrubs have a strong tendency to shit on things that aren't standard, until it becomes standard at which point they make all sorts of excuses.

Well eventually there had to be pioneers using other Pokemon to realize that, "Hey this Pokemon is not shit, if you use this specific build and strategy." I mean also look at Serperior for another example.

Tangrowth is another recent example of people just mislabeling things as shitmons without actually using them, only to later discover that they do have their uses.

Basically people didn't run him right, been using this guy for a decent time and he is decent thanks to high bst moves along some support choices, but the metagame was just unhealthy for him and Keldeo could still take a shit on him depending on the set, also spdef Talonflame still shat over this guy.

Now flashforward a bit and even with bird spam resurgence he still gets the job done, but got discovered first by people who loved the AV set before other people experimented with him.

Don't oversell tangrowth, he is fine for some stuff, but isn't entirely great.

People were anticipating Contrary Serp for a while though, it's totally different.

Using it with zoom lens with focus blast is pretty fun
