>>58811807>Totodile>most unusable>HGSSHow do you figure? The split actually lets it meaningfully use its big Attack stat.
In a sense, you could say it suffers for just being a discount Gyarados, but that's something all Water starters suffer from. They're always competing with at least a few really good alternatives, so they need to be Swampert-tier busted to really stand out.
>>58814707I want to say that Hyper Beam was specifically something reserved for fully evolved Pokemon. That said, most single-stage Pokemon I can think of from Gen 1 were also able to learn it, so I dunno why Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee couldn't.
