>>35280680Raticate is probably better than Watchog. I seen Raticate do the whole Guts/Swords dance thing before. I don't think I've ever seen Watchog outside an in-game team.
Liepard is better than Persian, hands down.
Leavanny is better than Butterfree, thanks to Sticky Web. Scolipede, even before Speed Boost, was better than Beedrill. With Speed Boost it's actually even better than Mega Beedrill.
Seismitoad is better than Poliwrth, although they do very different things.
Basculin can't evolve into a murderous sea serpent, so Magikarp is better.
Omastar is better than Carracosta
Aerodactly is better than Archeops, although Archeops is really underrated.
Snorlax is better than Crustle
Amoongus is worlds better than Parasect
Whimsicott>Victreebell>Liligant>Vileplume
Gengar is better than Chandelure
Drilbur is better than Onix, although I'm not sure I see the connection there.
Gigalith is better than golem, even before it got Sand Stream
Raichu is better than Zebstrika in almost every way
Scrafty is better than Primeape
Galvantula is a shitload better than Electrode
Not sure about Golurk and Marowak, but I get the feeling Marowak is slightly better because of Thick Club. Without Thick Club Golurk is much stronger
