Seeing Steelix so widely used feels good. Shame he fell so hard after gen 2.

Wasn't there a time when Umbreon could learn Reflect and Light Screen? Or am I just being retarded? I distinctly remember annoying my friends with a Light Screen/Reflect/Moonlight/Toxic Umbreon.

It can learn reflect as an eevee in gen 1, so thats a tradeback move. But if it knows light screen then you're a cheating piece of shit.

Looks like it has bulk, longevity (Milk Drink), speed, and can dish out some hits too.

Physical/Special split didn't exist back then, so you could always predict water/ice moves and switch.
And Explosion was much more powerful back then.

This isn't 2000 anymore, dipshit. People can and often do shit on heavily outdated tier lists in every medium. The only Pokemon meta that hasn't really changed is gen 1 where the meta is pretty much exactly the same, but Victreebel and the other two legendary birds are good now.

I know this is for the shitty 3v3 cart meta but I have a hard time believing that even under these conditions, Typhlosion would be on par with Raikou or Moltres > Zapdos. Wouldn't be surprised if it's just shitter's opinion that westerners take seriously because its in Japanese. Can you even play this meta anymore?

Perish Look combos, Misdreavus is the second most important reason why every GSC team MUST have a phazer to Roar/Whirlwind out the opposing mon (first being Snorlax cuz its fucking Snorlax) because otherwise, Misdreavus just 6-0's entire teams as opposed to carefully tread carefully.
