  1. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    I disagree with Clefable being A-tier without Psychic, as it has other combinations of tms that make it S-tier. Normal STAB+Bubblebeam/Ice Beam/Blizzard+(Thunderbolt, optional)+(Thunder Wave, optional) allows it to smash past all the possible weaker matchups you mentioned, besides Koga (still...
  2. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    I agree with Articuno being A considering the availability and all that, but I wanted to mention that Blaine should 100% not count as a negative. It 1hkos the stronger mons with Blizzard (lvl 51, just use a rare candy) and the weaker ones get 1hkod by Ice Beam. Even if you miss a Blizzard (10%...
  3. Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List Discussion

    It's certainly possible that playing on Sapphire might have led to less experience compared to playing on Emerald. But regarding the other points: Roxanne: I understand that Ralts can win, but it seems relatively luck reliant to pull off since Rock Tomb is a clean 2hko. I guess "horrible" is an...
  4. Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List Discussion

    Did a run on Sapphire with Treecko, Ralts, Skarmory and Kyogre. Treecko seems like a clear C tier to me. It's equal to a B tier until the first gym and after it gets Leaf Blade, but the period in the middle is just super disappointing. It even had problems beating Plusles and Minuns at a...
  5. Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald In-Game Tier List Discussion

    Got interested in the Zangoose nom to S so I decided to do a run. I used Torchic, Alakazam, Zangoose and Groudon (and some Zigzagoons, Tropius and Wailmer for obvious reasons). Not much to add to Torchic since it is in A tier and I agree with what has been said. Alakazam seems S tier but on...
  6. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    On Clefable vs Alakazam at the Elite 4: In my recent 2 runs I used both and this is how they did (both level ~46, Clefable has Strength, Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam, Thunder Wave; Alakazam has Psychic, Psybeam, Seismic Toss, Thunder Wave). Also retested some stuff with Clefable now, since I hadn't...
  7. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    This time I did a run in Pokemon Blue using Squirtle, Sandshrew, Abra, Dugtrio and Zapdos. Like the Articuno run, I almost only used Zapdos for testing with saving and resetting, so it got nearly no exp. I used the "trade evolutions at level 37 instead of trading", mentioned earlier in the...
  8. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    I think initially trying to go for the 1% encounter may have skewed my perception of how easy it is to find a nicely leveled one (30+), since I didn't realize the level 40 Tentacool had such low odds of showing up (oh, and thanks to the person who posted the encounter slots here, that's very...
  9. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    Did another run. This time with Charmander, Clefairy, Jynx(RB trade) and Tentacool.
  10. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    So, I did a run in Red with Bulbasaur, Nidoran-Male, Farfetch'd, Staryu and Articuno. The Articuno got effectively 0 exp from fights since I just reset after testing it in boss fights (I did feed it 1 rare candy to learn Blizzard however), which means this was pretty much a 4 member playthrough...
  11. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    Mmm, seems like Seismic Toss makes a bigger difference in Misty than I though. Both Kadabra/Alakazam and Wartortle can 3hko Starmie at level 20 with it. That way there's no chance to get cheesed by X Defend for Squirtle and Kadabra has an easier time, (Seismic Toss is in the route before Bill's...
  12. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    Maybe don't use Clefable in the run, since it pretty much wants the same tms as Nidoking and Squirtle (Thunderbolt, Ice Move, Mega Punch...). I think running Alakazam alongside them could have value as a means of comparison, but it's just an idea (it doesn't take away any valuable tms either...
  13. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    Ah, ok. I incorrectly assumed that might have been what pushed it from really high A to S/Top, solidifying its position there. My bad. Thanks a lot for clarifying! For what it's worth I would not oppose Squirtle in S (or Diglett, but I already gave my thoughts on that). I saw someone...
  14. Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow In-Game Tiers - Reboot

    I think X-Accuracy + OHKO might have been what pushed Squirtle to S in the previous list, since it lets it sweep the E4 effortlessly on top of everything else it already does well. Now, we both agree that A makes the most sense, but I think saying Squirtle is "arguably" the best starter is an...
  15. GSC In-Game Tier List Mk. IV

    There was a lot of discussion on this in an earlier thread I believe, but basically it comes down to this: Quilava gets flame wheel at level 31. By that point you have spent around 10+ levels with Surf (95*1.5 = 142.5 power) as Croconaw, instead of Ember (40*1.5=60, which is pathetic, it...
