Why is Jellicent so low? Does Dragapult fuck it up that badly? I'm also surprised Cofagrigus is so low, I thought Runerigus was worse cause its typing is less defensive. I've missed a lot.

>Why is Jellicent so low?
Jellicent has always been one of those Pokémon that has a niche in higher tiers but aren’t as splash able as others, though in this case it’s even worse since aside from beating Ushifu Rapid it doesn’t really do anything spectacular.
>I'm also surprised Cofagrigus is so low, I thought Runerigus was worse cause its typing is less defensive.
These two are weird since Runerigus is actually in PU but is viable in RU, unlike Cofagrigus. Being a defensive Ground type that’s actually immune to Fighting helps it stand out compared to other Ground types, especially with Toxic Spikes and Wil-O-Wisp to beat most physical wallbreakers

Dragapult is so far above Jellicent that I'm gonna assume you're asking why it fell from Gen 5 OU and that's because
>Ghost-types as spinblockers were less necessary because Rapid Spin became less necessary when Defog gain the ability to remove hazards on your side of the field
>In the same vein, Defog becoming more popular led to pokemon like Bisharp becoming more popular
>Knock Off on every pokemon
>Vulnerable to every entry hazard
>Power Creep, especially from Megas
>some other things I don't remember. it was a different time

Why is Flareon still ranked? We have utility Rapidash now.

wish flareon can be viable, also copycat allows some big brain plays like using it on volt switch/u-turn, hazards, etc

Imagine being a fully evolved Pokemon that stage 1s can keep up with. Any tier aside from OU and MAYBE UU is pathetic. Gamefreak needs to be shot for gimping so many lines like this.

This but unironically.
Even discounting unofficial Smogon tiers, every fully-evolved mon should at least be somewhat viable in a meta without legendaries.
