>>56142634Gens 4, 5, 7, and 9
>gen 4Major BST spike, a lot more legal legends, physical special split, movepools got much better, stealth rock, Gengar finally received a STAB, and far stronger moves than before (close combat, draco meteor, post-buff outrage, flare blitz, stone edge, pre-nerf payback, focus blast, etc.)
>Gen 5two trios of legendary pokemon and two of them had a broken ability (prankster), new broken abilities (regenerator, prankster, contrary, multiscale, etc.), one of sturdiest and hated walls in the series (Ferrothorn), and the dream world abilities giving two pokemon abilities that were previously exclusive to box legends.
>Gen 7Several 590 BST UBs with minmaxed stats, a quartet of legends with weather abilities, and Z moves. Suddenly every pokemon now either has a nuke or a some busted stat boost. Introduced the strongest VGC mon of all time.
>gen 9Another busted quartet of legends, more than a dozen 570-590 BST mons that can abuse a broken new item (booster energy), several new top tier and broken mons in both formats (Kingambit, Gholdengo, Garganacl, Baxcalibur, Palafin, Farigiraf, Clodsire, Meowscarada, Ogerpon, Archaludon, etc.)
>"But what about gen 6?"Gen 6 just had a few broken megas. The small dex didn't powercreep the game very much overall.
Gens 2 and 6 slowed the game down.
