That post that said HA Inteleon would be the best Galar starter competitively and HA Cinderace would be the worst

speed swap a-raichu will define VGC
decidueye is the most viable alola starter
xurkitree is ubers worthy
eiscue will define OU
slaking would be RU with a good ability

Contrary Serperior would still be RU (or whatever tier it was in at the time) in gen VI.

Damn, I forgot overhyped Xurkitree was in the beginning. Pretty funny that people only saw its special attack and not that it's a slow and relatively frail mono-electric.

I thought Heatran wouldn't be good at the start of DPP.
Imagine being as wrong as I was.

Imagine what /vp/ would say about Pokemon like Heatran and Tyranitar if their viability hadn't already been proven for years before the board was made.

I remember being all smug on the internet saying "Big EQ weakness, too many bulky waters in the game."
/vp/ would probably say the same, but maybe talk about Close Combat as well, which was a new move at the time.

At this point, you should probably assume any starter war threads are just shitposts rather than actual attempts at predictions.

I literally can't think of even ONE moment where /vp/ was right about anything regarding some form of competitive with Pokemon.

I remember anons saying Duraludon was going to be OU material because it was Steel/Dragon while I pointed out that it will only be UU at best, as its abilities are fucking garbage and that Steel/Dragon isn't that remarkable currently in a meta where Fairy exists, especially when I pointed out how Fairies, Ground Types, and other Steels have made Dialga a basic nonentity in Ubers. As a result, Duraludon has to strictly make viability off of type, movepool, and stat build to even be great. Well guess what, I was fucking right, it was UU before it got slapped to RU

To be fair, everyone misunderstood Eiscue's ability at first
If it was actually just effectively immune to physical attacks in hail it would probably have a pretty big impact even with shitty stats

Duraludon would be OU if it learned Toxic. You seem to have only a surface level knowledge of Ubers because Dialga does well against virtually everything except Xerneas and Primal Groudon.

maybe in gen 3 but not anything after that. Even then blissey is better just because it actually has reliable recovery unlike regice which has to resort to rest.

Mega Zards would still be horrible because rocks
A-Ninja is worse than Protean Greninja
Marshadow was gonna be a shitmon
Zyg100% wasn't Uber material
Dusk-Mane was gonna be a shitter Solgaleo
Dynamax was balanced
Waterbear was better than Darkbear

Like at this point vp's prediction are just shitposts.
