>>57747195No, because Sneasel has shitmon stats and everything else around it also improved, effectively meaning it dropped further due to powercreep giving better mons better options, and introducing more diversifying twats to fill out the tiers, creating rises and falls as new niches and roles were formed.
But get this, it's not worse because of the PSS, it's worse because of powercreep as a whole. Even without the PSS, it would've dropped off anyway because of ruthless moves like Close Combat still being guaranteed to exist (because Fighting Moves being able to or not being able to draw from SpA does not relate to a move that fits with the type's risk-reward style, now manifest in a powerful move described as "going so apeshit physically you lower your guard in order to focus on brutalizing the enemy") and being distributed to a borderline unfair amount of mons, even non-fighters like Staraptor, Ursaring and Arcanine, all of which immensely appreciate the coverage and aren't expected to be taking heavy blows anyway.
