I think people forget how much simpler pokemon was back in the RBY games. I used Bulby and I was like 10 and didn't have any issue at all and he was always my highest leveled poke bc I used it so much

I heard a bunch about Cheren and how hard he was as the first gym leader in B2... and he ended up being crap even though I only had Riolu (no force palm) and wimpy snivy.

and psyduck Plenty of pokes own Clay lol

Really? All three starters hurt him pretty bad (obv Sniv and Osh but Tepig's fighting moves hurt 3/4). There are numerous grass pokes hanging around. Fighting types hurt 3/4. There are not a bunch of water types around yet if I remember right (the duck on the bridge and the water monkey) but...

I have found Lukes Force Palm more than adequate so far, especially combined with Return, Dig, and Rock Tomb/slide. The random parahax has been appreciated as well. Mine evolved at 17 before the poison gym personally.

I really think Riolu should be top tier. I haven't quite finished the game yet but I found him relatively quickly. 5% sounds low but it isn't "shaking grass 5%" plus it allows you to grind your starter up at the same time to make quick work of Cheren. He is good for at least one kill against...

Is the first page still up to date?

There is a challenge mode. You have to beat B2 first though or have it transfered which is just stupid. Or you can open it by "other" means which is what I did. It makes all of the e4 and gym leaders stronger with more pokemon, supposedly better AI, more items, and higher level pokes. Not...

I have found nothing wrong with heracross so far. People talk about its "bulk" in theory, but in practice, the thing doesn't last very long between entry hazards + orb damage + taking an attack and substitute in some cases. Its best set so far for me has been the choice scarf and that is just...

That used to be the moltres set a few metagames ago

dies too quickly IME playing against it. The SD set sucks so far IME. Hera does not compare to Gallade at all. That like of priority is HUGE for a sweeper set.

Ive used and seen hera on the other site (it updated its ladder, but the competition over there in uu is... eh) and it is seriously nothign special ATM. Once again, the comp over there isn't nearly as good... but you didn't need to be good to use the broken guys like yanmega and shaymin...

Jolly still does 46.4 minimum, so it cannot switch into (assuming SR which is fair) a facade unless it is 100% healthy

adamant flame orb facade is going to 2hko max/max gligar so it can wall same heras but not all. still think flame orb will be the best set because facade eliminates a lot of cross's "counters"

it is 99% outclassed by NP jynx who is faster, has dual stab, and has access to lovely kiss.
