>>53550085I mostly agree, however
>t he'd be better there too because of the funny boots, he basically runs the tier.Except CHARZARD with boots is mostly a supporter/defogger, If it actually want to hit hard it needs to have a boosting item, but then it can't handle rocks anymore.
Also, remember part of what made CHARIZARD so broken is the new moves it got in SwShit, but if Typhlosion had been in SV it would have gotten something (at the very least it would have gotten bargain bin Scorching Sands, meaning it would have had actual coverage).
>considering drought gets its ass thrown out of lower tiers constantly.Even if drought were in the lower tiers, CHARIZARD gets put on a timer due to its sun allergy. And another thing to consider is that DroughtZARD (especially in Gen 8) mostly spammed Fire moves with Choice Specs, meaning Typhlosion would have been a near perfect switch in due to Flash Fire.
>If we're counting Oh Ceee forms however Zard mogs Typhlosion so fucking hard and I can say that with confidence even before HomeThat goes without saying. Someone on the SV team couldn't cope that the Legends team picked Typhlosion as a starter instead of CHARIZARD, and went out of their way to sabotage H.Typhlosion. However seeing as there is a 99% chance that Megas are not returning in Paldea. Charizard won't have its special snowflake form in Gen 9 so that's not really relevant.
