>>29436801Politoed is still high tier in doubles.
>>29436831Ninetails is indeed pretty ass now but Ninetails A has a good offensive typing, if it gets a favorable stats shift it will be good.
>>29436837Tauros didn't even really fall, the only nerf he took was the hyper beam recharge change. He's just remained around the same level of power while the meta got away from him.
>>29436841Golem was only a thing in RBY because of Zapdos. It wasn't particularly good even in gen 1, it was just one of the two least worse options to prevent Zapdos from effortlessly sweeping you.
>>29436987Specs Jolteon is still good as a lead/pivot in battlespot. It really needs a grass or ice coverage move though so it can use its hidden power on the other one.
>>29437026Sylveon doesn't really compete with Jolteon, two completely different pokemon. Sylveon is slow and tanky, Jolteon is fast and frail. It fell off because 110 sp. atk isn't what it used to be especially with its relatively limited coverage options. When the 'staple' set for your pokemon is two electric moves, a hidden power and then either shadow ball or signal beam you know it has movepool problems.
Anyways Snorlax is probably the most powercrept pokemon out there atm. It fell off a bit in gen 3 but just plummeted in gen 4 as fighting type became more common coverage and had better moves, and its once amazing defenses just couldn't stack up without reliable recovery.
