Woah... It's almost as if... eviolite is better on a bulky Pokemon than boosting its speed to ok levels...

Wow PU is really different now from when I used to play it regularly back in 2015 and last year. Is FU going to be more active now?

So Oranguru and Pa'u Oricorio are absolutely completely useless even in PU, then?

also I forgot to mention

Isn't it funny that of all the gen 7 Pokemon in PU, Alolan Exeggutor is the best one?

Normally I would state something about GF not caring about Smogon as its a made up meta. But it's not even good anywhere. I tried to use it in VGC with Eeveboost pass support. While it becomes pretty scary with the boost but it can't recover so it doesn't matter in the end.

Fucking awesome idea and design for a Pokemon (Chimeras are cool) But excecuted terribly.

This. Its movepool is awful for what it should be. Recover and Shift Gear would both fit thematically, and would give it that boost it needs. Hell im surprised it didn't get more specific/niche moves than just Parting Shot, if it's made out of other mons.

Game Freak tried to make a Mini-Arcues, but forgot the things that made Arceus good in Ubers: Recover, Extreme Speed and the required held item boosting its STAB.

Because PU mons "need" less speed

The trade of Bulk>Speed is much more affordable than in higher tiers

Also, Knock Off is much less common

The Alolan forms were a mistake

By comparison, the only Mega to ever hit lower than RU in gen 6 was fucking Audino

All those alolan forms are still better than their regular ones. The only alolan that're straight up worse are Dugtrio and Golem.

Alolaforms are used in VGC. Latest worlds was won by a guy with Alolab Marowak going against Alolan Ninetales. In GFs eyes Alolanforms are probabky a big succes.
