NU Pokemon you wish were better?

[g3rgni]

Personally, I would like to see Magmortar become a better Pokemon. It has a cool design and relatively high attacking stats to complement its large movepool, but its pure fire typing and mediocre speed make it a crappier version of Infernape.

sandslash, marowak, tropius, abomasnow, crustle. Mostly just because i think they look cool and i like the idea behind them.

I bet you could find a use for meganium, the greatest starter pokemon of all time.

Crustle can't be NU because there currently isn't any such tier in Generation V. Also, Abomasnow is BL in Generation IV and UU in Generation V.

Meganium. To stop all the hating.

Word.

I still posit that it's not so hard to do, either.

Give it Baton Pass, Wish and Dragon Dance. Now you have a Dance passing, status removing, wishing, screen summoning bulky grass type to contend with. She's basically the ultimate supporter. It's what she's supposed to be built for, after all. I say let her be good at it, goddamnit. Her poor typing and the existance of Chansey/Blissey and Cresselia will still keep her from being broken, but at least with those three moves she could actually become a viable threat and stop being treated as a joke.

I would like Persian to stop being NU.

Also, same with Farfetchd

 

[Feralize]

Manectric. Nice moveset, but very poor stats.

 

[Synthesis]

Manectric, Spinda, Farfetch'd, Dodrio, Rapidash, Electrode. List is endless.

 

[Valkyria]

Meganium. To stop all the hating.

This. A hundred times over. Also, Bastiodon, Regirock and Regice, since they are great walls cursed with bad defensive typing.

 

[SharKing]

^ Regirock is UU. That Rock typing has many weaknesses, but a 50% Sp. Defense boost combined with that beastly Defense and decent Attack makes it a pretty nice tank in UU.

EDIT: Damn it, Smogon. Changing tiers behind my back... Well, I never paid that much attention to UU, anyway.

 

[Fleeg]

I'll hand this to Grumpig. I've found many ways to use it, but nobody else has, apparently. :sweatlol:

 

[Sanic Hegehog]

Regirock is actually NU just to clarify. In fact it's been like that for a while now, which is not surprising considering it was pretty inferior to Registeel anyway.

 

[pokemoll]

Hmmm. I agree with Feralize and Raizhu.

And just to add, Rapidash.

 

[Gioku]

The one...the only...FARFETCH'D!!!

Oh, and Lickilicky.

I agree with both of these, especially Farfetch'd!


I would like Beedrill to be better, because he looks totally cool and looks like he should be more powerful. Alas, such is the problem with bug-types..... In fact, come to think of it, all Bug-types need an upgrade in strength!

 

[SharKing]

In fact, come to think of it, all Bug-types need an upgrade in strength!

I dunno. There are bugs like Yanmega, Volcarona, Scizor, and Genesect that perform just fine. Not all of them need an upgrade (though quite a few of 'em would love to shed the Stealth Rock weakness).

 

[g3rgni]

You forgot about Venomoth and Scolipede. In the lower tiers, they're pretty cool.

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

Charizard (Give it Earth Power for crying out loud, and bring back Dragon Pulse with it)
Raichu (He's the full evolved form of the series's mascot, so it needs to perform better with wider movepool or have the light ball work on him too)
Magmortar (Perfect example of why evolutions shouldn't make them worse)
Wigglytuff (Full evolved form of the secondary mascot of the series, it deserves a special item like the light ball)
Farfetch'd (Evolution plz, with a fighting/flying dual typing)

 

[Shreyas]

I'd like to see improvements on Dunsparce and Girafarig they have been the lowest of NUs, and can only be used by those that can predict really well.

 

[Angad]

Wigglytuff (Full evolved form of the former tertiary mascot of the series, it deserves a special item like the light ball)

Golurk needs Stealth Rock, it work like a Metagross lead if it had it.

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

Golurk needs Stealth Rock, it work like a Metagross lead if it had it.

No, it'll only do more harm than good for fire, ice, flying, and bug types who also need to improve.

 

[Angad]

One more pokemon getting Stealth Rock wouldn't do that much damage. It's be the first spin blocker with Stealth Rock, but Starmie could still beat it.

 

[Troggy]

Charizard (Give it Earth Power for crying out loud, and bring back Dragon Pulse with it)

Charizard does get a nice DW ability, though.

I'd like to see improvements on Dunsparce and Girafarig they have been the lowest of NUs, and can only be used by those that can predict really well.

The only thing Dunsparce can really use is better stats. It has the perfect movepool to do its job in life, if it had more power and/or better defenses, we would see it a lot more. Dunsparce's BST is 415. I would raise it at the minumum to Clefable's level (473), something like:

HP 100
Atk 90
Def 80
SpA 60
SpD 75
Spe 68

Girafarig has higher BST than Dunsparce, I just think that since his offensive stats are all good but not great, he struggles to find a niche. His typing is interesting, but it still doesn't have that many resists or immunities. If it had base 95+ speed, it'd probably be better off. If I adjusted it to 473 again, maybe something like:

HP 70
Atk 65
Def 67
SpA 101
SpD 75
Spe 95

This makes it a specially based Pokemon only, so maybe that isn't what I should have done, but you still get the idea. It still isn't making any top 10 lists, but hey, it's an improvement without getting unreasonable with the BST.

My vote is, of course, VILEPLUME. It is a terrible crime against Pokemon that a flowering plant can't use Leech Seed!

 

[Ghetsis-Dennis]

Charizard does get a nice DW ability, though.

He wouldn't last long though, you want to use Pokemon who's able to wipe out a single team, which is what the majority of Pokemon in OU are.
