>>33744295I'll always remember Breloom as the most buffed Pokémon in the franchise story:
- Gen 3: It's introduction. Its most viable move was Focus Punch.
- Gen 4: Category split and Poison Heal. It could now use Physical Grass-type moves and the newly introduced Seed Bomb was perfect on it. Also the rare Poison Heal helped it a lot since it used Substitute most of the time.
- Gen 5: Technician. Like if getting Poison Heal wasn't enough, it received Technician as HA. Now it could use Bullet Seed over Seed Bomb for more damage (only if it hits 4-5 times), could use perfectly the new Low Sweep, and moves like Mach Punch, Force Palm, and Rock Tomb did more damage and could be used as coverage and filler moves, giving it an alternative over the Substitute set.
- Gen 6: Nerf. It was the first time it received a nerf: a combination of Talonflame, the new Fairy-type, and the boost of Low Sweep hurt very hard to Breloom but despite this it stood in OU for all the Gen 6.
- Gen 7: Drop to UU. Like most Pokémon that were OU in Gen 6, Breloom dropped to UU thanks to Tapus and Ultra Beasts.
Breloom is always the example that as long as a Pokémon has good moveset, good ability, and decent Typing, its stats doesn't matter, even Ledian is jealous about it.
