>>31838084Viable where? In game or comp wise? Comp wise they're always going to be a bit shit since their schtick is levelling fast but being weaker stat wise, unless they have some god tier hidden ability. Kalos did this well with talonflame and diggersby, both being pretty fucking great. And more recently Pelliper.
RIP bravest bird. Staraptor is weirdly good even ignoring abilities hidden or otherwise, an outlier.
There's also a bunch that are ok in like, PU and NU (in gen 6, these don't exist yet) that's like, "good". Swellow, Stoutland, Luxray, Pelliper pre-drizzle. All generally viable and really one or two things away from a much higher tier, as we saw with pelliper.
