Smogon or not, this should be a crime.

he works out pretty well for me. but then again I also like trick room but I heard he can be pretty good outside of it with stuff like string shot.

The Vic Viper has no natural speed upgrades and/or Gatack was the last normal Zecter. You should have been prepared for this.

I don't suddenly stop liking Pokemon but I sure hate methods of obtaining some of them. I can easily list 1 Pokemon per gen
>Rhyhorn is located in the shittiest place possible
>Scyther evolves via trade with rare item AND it can't be caught every day of the weak
>Regirock is locked behind obnoxious puzzle at the end of the game
>Electabuzz evolves via trade with rare item (AND it can't be obtained at all in DP)
>Zoroark doesn't appear in wild
>Trevenant requires either trading its pre-evo or waiting till you get to the last town before E4
>Charjabug evolves at the end of the game in SM

Me and Salazzle. I stopped caring about competitive since gen 5 but god it just underperformed as all for me, specially in the movepool department

the worst offender of this is whatever that pre-evolution is of volcarona. You have to wait until the end of the game to get it and it takes a million years to evolve.

Onix.
Its design just looks so cool, and the main one in the early part of the anime was entertaining, but it's completely garbage stat-wise.

A Pokemon's capabilities in battle are completely legitimate reasons to like or dislike it.

Does Onix suffer from being the first Pokemon you fight in a battle against a gym leader in Kanto? It can't be too strong at that stage in the game so its stats are lower?

Onix and Nosepass both suffer from FirstBossitis. They can't be good or else little kids might not be able to beat them. As such, they suck hard.

I've never thought about it that way....
Still, it doesn't excuse the fact that its only actually good stat is defence (speed being just average), and that it has one of the lowest base stat totals for a no-evolution pokemon in all of gen 1.

I was so peeved when I found out it didn't get an evolution.

Nothing because I'm not a disgusting smogoncuck.
I pick my favorites solely based on design and not by stats.
For the future, keep it as an Eviolite Charjabug and have it evolve at level 49 when it learns Agility. Yes, I'm serious. Better a slow tank than a slow frail attacker. You'll miss out on Bug Buzz but you can teach it Signal Beam via Move Tutor which will make do until you get to the Move Re-learner.
Charjabug with Charge/Spark/X-Scissor/Dig worked wonders in my playthrough.

I was pretty dejected when Beedril became consistently useless before Celadon.
