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.

Some will never figure out how to get Dusknoir in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Dusknoir Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Dusknoir Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
Arceus exists.

I only wish the best for Corsola in her future endeavors. Thank you.

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.

Renegade Platinum gave Dusknoir Iron Fist and Drain Punch, which is a potent mix. With a moveset of elemental punches, drain punch, and shadow punch all boosted by iron fist, it could make Dusknoir more viable. And While it is technically good for its tier, its still insane to think that Kyurem Black is just an ordinary OU pokemon for its debut in competitive, despite being a Boxart Legendary.

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
@Andreecals Месяц назад
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.

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.

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. What makes this especially cruel is that Dusclops too is stuck in tiering limbo, as it is completely unviable in UU.

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 1 Pinsir is one good bug move away from completely shaking up rby ou. If x-scissor existed in gen 1 it would be great but even twineedle would be good. Gen 3 Gyarados is 2 base speed away from being able to run an attack boosting nature while still outspeeding Aero and Jolteon after a one DD.

Staraptor, the pokemon who spent all its time since gen4 in UUBL, its brave bird being too powerful for UU but it's speed being too low for OU

Magcargo was just showing off against horsea. Magcaro-horse-prime has an insane base special attack and horses has a terrible base special defence and still he opted to use a non-stab physical attack to one shot horses. One might to so far to say he was horsing around.

I truly hope Horsea learns from his mistakes and turns into a friendly Seadra or even Kingdra. Unfortunately the dry lands may not be welcoming him too soon, as his horse leadership was far too biased in his own misconceptions. Alas we enter a new era for horses worldwide.

Knew it. Ofc Macargo has access to legendary swag items. Can‘t stop thinking whether or not iron mugulis has something to do with this cheezy scheme.

Marcargo the underdog hero turned political villain was not the arc I was expecting in 2024

I believe Mega Pidgeot should get Inferno, translating its infernal suffering since gen 1 where it was outclassed by the weakest shitmons available in route 2, and Blizzard, translating the cold it felt alone in untiered metas until it got a Mega form. This with Focus Blast and 10 more in SpAtk would definitely make it very balanced. I am not biased in any shape.

Dusknoir not getting Levitate is weird as it literally levitates in battle

the fact magcargo-horse-prime just has calyrex-shadow's stats copy pasted at it is hilarious

Dusknoir would be great if only it had a solid HP stat to work with and reliable recovery. Gen III and IV have such overblown bordlerline tiers that they can function as their own placement.

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

Dusknoir should get an ability buff. I’ld call this new ability Reaper Force, essentially, Ghost type Dragon’s Maw
