charlie_ Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Bellsprout way up, it comes at a point in the game where it kills two gyms fairly easily and also beats down all the rocks in Rock Tunnel. It should be on top of high in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandjackal Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Squirtle should perhaps be a tier below Bulbasaur, since Bulbasaur could pretty much solo most of the game. Squirtle has problems against the likes of Misty and Surge while Bulba only really has lolBlaine. Charmander should not be in the same tier as the likes of the Royals, their court Wizard and the starfish Jester, or their wild and stalwart Bodyguards. Top of upper mid at best. Am I the only one dissapointedwith Zapdos's performance in this game? Due to starting with just Thundershock and it's meh Sp Atk, your only real choice would be to save Thunderbolt for all that time. Otherwise it just has Drill Peck. Moltres in bottom? This isn't gen 1. It has no right being below garbage like Slowpoke or even Goldeen.

Charmander gets Flamethrower at lvl 34, and has like 110 sp att. Zapdos down, anyone else object Moltres comes too late, we have access to many other fire types by then, and its like Charizard-but comes late. Slowpoke comes a wee bit late, but is a good mon. Psychic/Surf/IB/CM/Flamethrower/SBall/BB and it can go mixed. Goldeen is touchy, can someone enlighten me on its uses? Bellsprout way up, it comes at a point in the game where it kills two gyms fairly easily and also beats down all the rocks in Rock Tunnel. It should be on top of high in my opinion. Uhh, lets see. Vs Misty, it does well Vs Surge its average->meh Also, Oddish and Bulbasaur can do the same things. And then it slows down, against Koga its mediocre, Blaine Rapes it, and Sabrina too. Giovanni gets raped by any grass/water so he's nil. Against the e4 its mediocre, due to average to low def/sp def. Stones are buyable, so it can evolve whenever it wants after Rock tunnel.

Shadow Mir Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Charmander gets Flamethrower at lvl 34, and has like 110 sp att.

Espinosa Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 IMO Squirtle > Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur has to wait until lv. 10 for Vine Whip, without which it cannot defeat Brock's Pokemon. Squirtle gets Bubble at lv. 7. Bulbasaur is also stuck with Vine Whip until lv. 22, and Razor Leaf is no longer the auto-crit it used to be in gen 1. It gets Giga Drain when you beat Erika, but with 5 PP and base power only 5 points higher than Razor Leaf, its offence is nothing impressive. Sludge Bomb might seem like a good STAB, but it's unavailable until postgame. Bulbasaur has a subpar earlygame as it needs to grind for Brock, runs out of Vine Whip PP too easily in dungeons, an okay midgame when it learns Razor Leaf and evolves, and is really not worth training for the E4, because Lorelei's Pokemon survive its attacks and threaten with their own super-effective moves (which are way more powerful than Giga Drain). If you ask me, Bulbasaur shouldn't be top tier at all - it's about as good as Charmander as a starter, and noticeably worse than Squirtle.

dondon151 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Squirtle also gets Mega Punch. There's a reason why Squirtle is the starter of choice for speedruns. Edited February 28, 2012 by dondon151 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Weedle, is good early-midgame for a filler. Caterpie....yeah, I'll switch them. Squirtle up, Bulba down. How about Voltorb up, some of the e4 mons are fast, and stab TB off of 140 speed should outrun a lot of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) To be honest, I actually think Weedle could drop to bottom, since its movepool sucks pretty badly. Edited February 28, 2012 by Metal King Slime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just at a glance... Squirtle above Bulba, no doubt. Squirtle has dig and bite for Surge and Misty, while Bulba has to deal with Sabrina, Koga and Blaine. I honestly think Bulba is probably worse then Charmander. Staryu should go up. Stones and boltbeam are both purchasable, and of course surf. Mr. Mime seems pretty meh to be so high. Birds should probably go down to mid because of availability. Jolteon is stupidly low when it can evolve instantly and thunderbolt can be bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about you, but I wouldn't count on having Bite for Misty. And I'm not seeing Charmander as better than Bulbasaur when Charmander's just... not that good gym wise (it's only really good against Erika), and it's stuck with Ember for STAB until level 34. I can agree with Squirtle > Bulbasaur, however. Edited February 28, 2012 by Metal King Slime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) A) Beedrill is pretty much useless scrub so weedle can go scupadiving B) Squirtle > Bulba IMO C) I would go as far as say both royals above bulba and Charmy-boy. Both of them are crippled by bad early/mid movepool while Royals are just awesome all the way. D) Why is Zapdos above Snorlax again? Chubby is just awesome offensively and comes earlier E) I like trains F) Correct me if Im wrong but doesn't magnemite have same availability as Zapdos? Why is it above Zappy? Dragon Resist for for srubnairs/nite? G) Moltres is like Charizard without having to bother train its ass up, bad midgame movepool and oportunity cost caused by why would I ever choose charmy-boy over turtles?

grandjackal Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 A) Beedrill is pretty much useless scrub so weedle can go scupadiving I wanna say Twinneedle saves it and that it's good early...but that doesn't really help, does it? C) I would go as far as say both royals above bulba and Charmy-boy. Both of them are crippled by bad early/mid movepool while Royals are just awesome all the way. Really, Double Kick as early as they show up when everyone is still using rocks and normals is what makes them more awesome than Charmander's dumbass. Fantastic movepools too. F) Correct me if Im wrong but doesn't magnemite have same availability as Zapdos? Why is it above Zappy? Dragon Resist for for srubnairs/nite? Don't forget resistance to Lorelei's garbage instead of being weak to Ice, and can hit Lorelei back hard since most of her mons are part water. G) Moltres is like Charizard without having to bother train its ass up, bad midgame movepool and oportunity cost caused by why would I ever choose charmy-boy over turtles? Was how I was trying to put it, but he beat me to the punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Metal Claw, true, but Geodudes and Gravelers aren't the types of mons you want to keep alive for more than a turn, or else...... KABOOM!!!

MacLovin Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Ok Squirtle to top Bulba down Moltres up a little Char down Weedle down/caterpie up Ok, how about Poliwag, water absorb and Poliwraths bulkiness+bulk upped BB against Lorelei and Brunos Onix(s). Poliwrath could rise over Vaporeon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKL Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Why is jolteon so low? Should be at least mid tier seeing as how thunderolt is buyable and it can insta promote... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Why is Rattata above Vaporeon? Vaporeon lasts the whole game, and doesn't face competition for Surf. Raticate is short term at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I think all the Eeeveelutions have their merits. Even Flareon is great if you get it, assuming that you can afford Flamethrower for it. This destroys Erika's gym and gives it a solid STAB that lasts the entire game. It also has the combination of a high physical attack stat and a very good special defence, making it a good chance for facing Psychic-types. It's Flareon who often ends up beating Sabrina on my runs, after I teach it Shadow Ball. I think Vap, Flareon and Jolteon are about as good. Jolteon has less coverage than the other two, but excessive speed, and weakness to electric is one of the few important ones in Kanto.
