>>44565455Actually according to Smogon data, it still placed within the top 50 at number #42 with a usage percentage of 4% in a format where over 100 pokemon are viable and strong, & over 350 pokemon are usable (Not all of them are good). If you're a more of a fan of the VGC meta, you're technically correct in the fact it had a lot of compitition driving it out of being a "strong" pick. However the data present still presents the case of Azumarill being present and a decent pick with it being the 67th most picked.
>>44565551>Mid Tier in ouAn average pick in a meta of the "Strongest" without any absurd bullshit is still great, anon.
>Usage in VGCI'll admit that it's not particularly great in a doubles environment, & the way it's best wayfor it to be used trends more towards a singles environment.
>Usage isn't everythingEh, true. There are a lot of sleeper picks waiting to be found.
I hope that my attempt at an argument has been satisfactory. I've been doing this whole thing while practically braindead from lack of sleep...
