Game Freak couldn't give them actual stats, just rearranged Kanto
Were the last non legendary Pokémon to get their hidden abilities and it was after the generation ended and Meganium's was fucking Leaf Guard
Meganium is the lowest tiered starter
Typhlosion is unusable it its tier because PU can't handle a Pokémon with only one move. The only time it accomplished anything in VGC required it to be babysat by Mega Shillzard Y
Feraligatr's the only one have any sort of dignity in competitive but people still see it as worse Gyarados
No Earth Power for the Volcano Pokemon
No good powder moves for Meganium (Poison Powder can suck it)
Skipped over for Megas
Removed from the Lame Series games forever (While the Kanto starters got insane buffs to their movesets)
Kantofags and Zoomies are too stupid to appreciate them and just see them as worse versions of KANTOOO!
