>>58679230Back in gen 2 when it had special Thunder Punch, and no natures or phys-special split meant mixed attackers had a point and also nearly everything has far more limited move pools than then yes, it’s movepool was good enough for to actually be good in Gen 2’s official meta. But from Gen 4 onewards it’s had one of the shallowest move pools in the games and basically spammed one move for over a decade, until gen 9 finally gave it a couple more special moves and by that point the game was such a powercrept shitshow where even Gen one darlings like Snorlax are getting fucked in the ass by creep
Tdlr. That anon probabaly could have used use used a better example than Typhlosion, (like half the Eeveelutions) but their choice has merit
