Pokemon Competitive Singles is a world where not every Pokemon has a home. Usage based tiering is a great system allowing such fellows as Beedrill and Castform to be metagame relevant somewhere.
But some Pokemon are stuck in that Limbo. Not good enough for the OU Tier, but too powerful for UU.
This is UUBL. However even some UUBL Pokemon find a niche in OU from time to time.
And some don't even have that luxury. Let's explore some forgotton Pokemon that were almost good, but fell just short.

Due to the fixed bonus of 100 base stat points for Mega Evolutions, for Mega Pidgeot, they probably should've done what they did with Mega Beedrill: take points out of its less important attacking stat and add it to the other. As far as I know, Mega Pidgeot only uses its Attack stat for U-Turn, so it wouldn't have lost anything major by losing base stat points from that. But yeah, having a better movepool would definitely help it, too.

The one mon that always comes to mind for "almost good" is Cresselia in Gen 4 OU. On paper it is the bulkiest mon in the entire metagame, but in practice, it has quite a few drawbacks holding it back. I think Crobat getting low sweep as a fighting move in Gen 3 would make sense, even if it isn't the best fighting move. I think Magic Guard would make more sense than Overcoat for Dusknoir, and it would be a slightly better ability. Maybe it would be too much, though?

@Andreecals Ай бұрын

I mean, every mega form only added 100 bst to the original forms, so the issue wasn't on the mega form, but the base form. Mega alakazam reaches high stats because they were already high before the mega. Mega pidgeot musst work like mega beedrill, being a fast one trick poney (not that they are horses) in order to have any chance of doing something.

the reason mega pidgeot has such medocre stats is 1. It decided to be a special attacker when in base form it has a higher attack stat. 2. And more importantly, megas only give 100 bst above the base version which makes mega pidgeot only have 579 bst and 65 of those 100 stats go to special attack.

@MMurine Ай бұрын

I mean, they could've moved some of its base form's attack to special attack. Mega Beedrill has a BST 490 and it still managed a 150 Attack/145 Speed.

@@MMurine that is true, i honestly forgot they did that to beedrill. it loses 30 spatk whem mega evolving, but idk if any other actually redistributes the stats like that, if they changed mega pidgeot's attack to give it more special attack or speed it would have been cool though.

I felt this really hard with Specs Sylveon in ORAS OU, and is something I originally discovered as an anti-meta threat to make mega sableye players regret their lives. It was amazing then, but now it struggles too much I think. If Sylveon had just like, one more thing, specs/pixie plate Sylveon would be one of the scariest wall breakers in the tier. Spammable special fairy stab on a nonmega is nonexistent in the tier, and 90% of Pokemon just get deleted by specs hyper voice, and even resists take huge damage. If it was a tiny bit faster, it could speed creep some common counters. If it had a tiny bit more hp it could set up 101 hp subs. If it had a slightly better move pool, it could tech something to deal with Chansey (something like trick, taunt). The baton pass ban for pivoting also really hurt it. It's stats and movepool are ultimately just a little too bad. I've tried to make this thing work so much, and it often goes 2.5 for 1 vs balance teams and is bulky enough to be a huge nuisance to offense, but it just can't justify a role when the opponent has certain defensive cores that just kill it.

@epicraptorman Ай бұрын

I feel Zebstrika... I love this Pokémon. But it needs volt tackle. It also needs Flare Blitz (it already has overheat, flame charge). And get rid of one of its redundant electric immunity abilities and give it Reckless because the PokeDex talks of Zebstrika's poor temper and rage. It even gets thrash as a move to support this. Hell, for giggles give it Outrage too. But the ideal set would be: Life Orb + Reckless: -Volt Tackle -Flare Blitz -High Horsepower -Volt Switch

Video Idea: Newer Pokémon That Might Fit Well Into Older Generations Some examples: -Despite being Gen 3 additions, Latias and Latios share many of Gen 2’s identifying features, like held items, genders, and the split Special stat. They were even in a Gen 2 movie! -Haxorus is notable for being a Pokémon developed far earlier than its debut game was even announced, and some of this design can be seen in how it feels like it would right at home in Gen 4 without being too overpowered. It may hit really hard, but it doesn’t contribute as much bulk and Speed as other top-tier Dragons of the time. -This is an Ability change rather than that of a Pokémon’s debut generation, but how would Alakazam perform without Magic Guard from Gen 5 onwards? Similarly, how much better would it be in Gens 3 and 4 with this Ability?

Dusknoir's state in Gen 5 is especially cruel. Not only it finds itself in RU, which is tiered below its pre-evolved form, but it is completely unviable in RU, so it finds itself in tiering limbo.

As a big PMD fan, is has always pained me how bad Dusknoir is, and how Dusclops objectively outclasses it in later gens.

Intimidate is fine for support, he also gets Parting Shot, U-Turn & Roost, but he lacks the Base Stats to be a support Pokémon. Hustle is just terrible and he literally has ONE move that he can exploit with it: Aerial Ace. Guts + Flame Orb sounds good, he has the moves to use it, but there are a lot of other Pokémon that can do it much better. Lastly, Sheer Force + Life Orb sounds broken, but when you realize the only move he can boost is "Pounce"... oh well. Really, this Pokémon is a walking (flying) tragedy.

Gen 6 Hawlucha seems like a strong physical sweeper with a great movepool and access to Unburden on top of its 118 base Speed. Unfortunately its gimmicky signature move Flying Press is underwhelming, and its 92 base Attack is a little anemic. Hawlucha struggles to take advantage of coverage options like Stone Edge because it needs both Substitute and Swords Dance to do its job. On top of all this, Talonflame exists. Not only does it easily OHKO Hawlucha with its priority Flying STAB, it's also mostly outclassing you in the SD+Acro sweeper role. I wonder if changing Flying Press would fix this bird. Make it a Close Combat clone, 120/100 and dropping your defenses. Then Hawlucha could run White Herb to activate Unburden, and maybe find a moveslot for Stone Edge so it isn't stonewalled by Zapdos
