Explaining Every Pokemon in Competitive Gen 2 [PART TWO]

Показать описание
In this video, I discuss how every Generation 2 Pokemon performs in the various tiers of competitive Generation 2 (GSC).

———————

On GSC UUBL:
GSC UUBL contains so many Pokemon because it is a product of tiering attitudes from the early days of Smogon. Back then, UUBL was seen more as the middle tier, not really the banlist. OU was the standard Pokemon, the big standard metagame guys. UU was the Pokemon that were not good in standard play, the suckers and losers of the world. UUBL was the middle ground between these two tiers. These Pokemon weren’t staples in OU, but they could be good if used correctly. This is why UUBL is so big in GSC and especially ADV, a lot of Pokemon were seen as mediocre but not useless. UUBL as we know it in modern gens, which is the list of Pokemon banned from UU, only came around in generation four. Other BL tiers in GSC, like NUBL and PUBL, work like the modern BL tiers.

Tiers:
Ubers - The highest tier. Ubers contains the only Pokemon disallowed from OU, the standard GSC tier.
OU (OverUsed) - The Standard GSC format. OU is by far the most played and represented GSC tier.
UUBL (UnderUsed Banlist) - See the Above paragraph
UU (UnderUsed) - Pokemon that were considered poor in OU in the early 2000s.
NUBL (NeverUsed BanList) - Pokemon that were banned from NU.
NU (NeverUsed) - Did not exist when GSC was current gen and was created well after it ceased to be CG.
PUBL (PU BanList) - Pokemon that were banned from PU.
PU - Did not exist when GSC was current gen and was created well after it ceased to be CG.
ZUBL (ZeroUsed BanList) - Pokemon that were banned from ZU.
ZU (ZeroUsed) - Lowest played tier. Did not exist when GSC was current gen and was created well after it ceased to be CG.
SZU (SubZeroUsed) - Fully Evolved Pokemon considered not good enough for ZU.

COMPETITIVE POKEMON JARGON:

STAB (SameTypeAttackBonus) is a boost in damage to attacking moves if they are of the same type as the Pokemon using them; an example would be a Charizard using Flamethower / Wing Attack.

Phazing (PsuedoHazing) is when you force an opposing Pokemon out. Roar and Whirlwind are immediate phazing moves, while Perish Song can act as a pseudo phazing move.

Ironically I kept running into meganium on Showdown today and didn't know how to deal with it in general lol

Funny question, but think a part 3 with every relevant NFE might drop? I just think it’s funny to see things like Elekid and Magby mentioned as threats in NU, so might be a nice little companion piece

Awesome video! The jumping between tiers and power levels was a little jarring at times. Keep up the videos!!

Awesome comprehensive! I was surprised Bayleef didn't see coverage given its role in GSC NU. Also, the tier below GSC ZU is spelled as GSC SU instead of SZU. Yanma finally has a home!

Late but Unown actually does have a niche in GSC DNU (an OM where the BST is capped at 249 with a few added exceptions); it's by far the strongest mon stat wise and one of the only special attackers period, and besides Togepi it's got good opportunity to 2HKO much of the tier with STAB HP Psychic
