Weezing is the best of the bunch and definitely usable. Maybe not so much in gen 1, but it got subtle buffs like psychic being nerfed, levitate, will o wisp, pain split.

UUBL in gen 3 according to smogon

Hol up. Is arbok titanboa sized? That shit has about a good foot and half over Jesse and probably half coiled.

It's amazing how much of a non-character Lickitung was. Neither Jessie nor Lickitung gave a shit when the trade mix-up happened. Had it been any other of their pokemon, Team Rocket would have fucking tracked the kid down just to get it back.

It's supposed to be 3.5 m long, I think, which is twice the length of a normal human being.

Weezing has always been decent relative to its peers. Victreebell can do some scary shit under the sun, but you'd have to be dumb to let it set to the point where it wrecks your team, same for arbok coil+gunk shot. Lickitung was never good, lickylicky is mediocre and meowth doesn't even need an explanation.

>>35920512
Arbok is 3 meters long.

>>35920524
There are many TR mons I don't remember anything about. Lickitung used to lick people, but that would have been its whole character regardless of which trainer it was written for. I don't remember what yanmega, woobat and frillish had going on. I like that they started giving their mons a little more character from gen 6 onwards.

some of them are super broken on first introduction then get nerfed hard.

Lickitung won a whole battle through lick paralysis. Wobbufet was depicted as practically invincible at first. Yanmega kicked tons of ass, their latest alolan mons beat ash before bewear.

Only the whacky ones get screen time

Well Wobbuffet is still depicted as being a top tier mon whenever Jessie ever actually uses him in battle.

I don't think it was only at first. I remember an XY episode where that fucker single-handedly tanked a rhyperior's rock wrecker. Wobbuffet is as strong as the plot demands him to be, but he rarely gets used at all.

it's more that the anime likes to treat counter and mirror coat as outright nullifying and reflecting damage, rather than returning twice what you take.

Victreebel was pretty strong in Gen 1 thanks to Wrap. Not amazing I'd say, but a solid Pokemon in OU.

I think in the episode where Arbok and Weezing were released, Wobbuffet failed to tank a Hyper Beam from the poacher's Tyranitar it was trying to Counter.

Wobb almost beat Pikachu in one of the first XY episodes too. That guy is always pretty strong when it needs to be. Like im that Johto episode were he pulverized those fighring type trainers who wrecked the Wobbufett festival.

No, DESU. Poison type was fucking trash in Gen 1. Earthquake TM was prevalent and Psychic type (and the TM) were god-tier (only bug type move was pin-missile which was learned by like Jolteon (no STAB) and Beedrill (Poison typing) while the only Ghost type was the Gengar line who also suffered from Poison typing and shit-tier ghost moves (Lick and Nightmare sucked).

Licky wasn't great and Meowth was NFE.

Victreebel is probably the best thing in that pic, useful as a sleeper.

TL:DR: Team Rocket picked pokes with shitty typing in the meta and got rolled for it.
