>>47331830Competitive Pokemon was a mistake. Howver, since it does exist, there's no reason why every Pokemon shouldn't be viable in it. They don't all need to be ZACIAN GO SLASHIAN, VISH GO BRRRR, levels of power, but certain Pokemon being so bad that they're only advice on Smogon is to not use it is inexcuable. Pokemon is a social game and 99% of the multiplayer is competitive play, so a Pokemon being bad in competitive is basically locked out of 99% of the game. Besides that, who looks at a Pokemon and says "This thing is useless, it's my new fave".
