If it got Sand Rush just a gen earlier, it'd be OU probably

And now it would be at least UU with an other ability... For now it's just the Staraptor of RUBL

A bulky spinblocker with no weaknesses would've been amazing in Gen 3

Doubtful. If it were pure Steel, it could've been great though

It's basically Steelix with better Attack, but no explosion. I think it would be OU, similar to how both Zapdos and Raikou were OU.

Yes but the EQ weakness is way too much. Steelix's higher bulk at least lets it take a few EQs whereas Aggron would be shattered. Just don't see how Aggron wouldn't just be worse at its role than Steelix. Still love Aggron though

You forgot how being half ground allow Steelix to counter Electric types meanwhile Aggron would just be just a psychic type check.

Alolan marowak maybe?
Obviously its just theorymonning but if you look at the viability ranks (https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/oras-ou-viability-rankings-last-updated-7-13-20.3623399/) it owns quite a few of the defensive pokemon in the tier.

Heliolisk, all of its ability covers three weathers. It would be right at home with permanent weather

Maybe not by usage, but it would have been viable. Especially if it gets its gen 8 movepool.

there was no team preview so illusion mindgames would actually be viable

Charizard, because it would be the only Pokemon and therefore the best.

Could Moltres be OU in Gens 4 and 5 if Stealth Rock didn't exist?

Claydol is already OU in Gen 3 but in Gens 1 and 2, it'd be pretty good.

Gen 1:
>Special is 120, making it a viable special attacking special wall
>Spams Blizzards and Psychics
>STAB Earthquake to hit a variety of other Pokemon
>Resists Psychic, Rock, and is immune to Electric, very good set of resistances for Gen 1; Fighting also but that sucks in Gen 1 anyways
>Gets Explosion also

Gen 2:
>Rapid Spinner that can fight Machamp
>Immune to Electric which is still fantastic in GSC, no quad weaknesses to there Hidden Powers
>STAB Psychic means Gengar doesn't wanna spin-block it

admittedly it might not have been an OU standard but i feel it'd at least be similar to UUBL options like gallade and heracross, certainly viable

Not OU, but imagine if Lugia was introduced in Gen 1.
Would it be a second Mewtwo like Game Freak imagined, or would the lack of Amnesia hold it back? 106/90/130/154/110 still sounds scary.

How? It'd be fast and since sand is everywhere, it'd be good in Gen 4 OU
