>>58576760>Who uses starters in competitive anywayIncineroar is the VGCat.
Charizard, both regular, Mega and Gigantamax has seen consistent use throughout the years.
Venusaur is a god tier tank that completely demolishes a bunch of restricted Pokemon in both singles and VGC.
All the Mega Hoenn starters saw experimentation and use, even a mediocre one in Mega Sceptile saw a really good niche as a legendary killer.
Infernape was really good back in the day and Empoleon although niche has seen some use as well.
Emboar hits really fucking hard and Serperior has Contray bullshit, both saw niche play as well. Hisuian Samurott has an amazing type and one of the most retarded moves ever made, needless to say it also saw usage.
Greninja got retarded favoritism and thus of course it saw a ton of usage.
I already brought up Incineroar, but Primarina is also fucking amazing in competitive across a lot of formats.
Rilaboom is fantastic and very versatile, also sees a ton of use to this very day.
Meowscarada hits hard, is fast and has Protean, need I say anything else? And Skeledirge is just amazing at cockblocking a ton of restricted Pokemon and setup sweepers, as well as being an amazing Tera abuser in general.
Hell, even Typhlosion with it being as mediocre as it is has seen some usage as a Choice Scarf Eruption spammer, Hisuin Typhlosion has the advantage of being immune to Fake Out in doubles and that Ghost STAB is appreciated.
I would complain as someone who loves Delphox, but my my fiery fox is finally getting something big with her Mega, as well as amazing new coverage moves too.
