For the most part, Hypno's stats are all pretty average, with the exception being its low base 67 speed. When taking a look at its stats, it definitely stands out as more of a defensive pokemon than anything else. The main reason for this is because it can't really dish out a lot of damage with each of its offenses being a low base 73. This could potentially be remedied by nasty plot however, but not much. 

Even though it stands out as a more defensive pokemon, it's pure psychic typing doesn't allow it to defend against dark, ghost and bug type attacks, which are all fairly common in the meta game. 


Personally, I think there are plenty of pokemon that fill Hypno's role better, so I'm going to give it a 4.5/10. 

Next pokemon up is Golduck. 

Golduck is has a pretty decent moveset, since it can learn psychic type moves. Other than that though, Golduck is very useless. It's stats are poor for a fully evolved water type. There are so many better water type pokemon out there than Golduck. I give Golduck a 4 out of 10.

The next pokemon to rate is Combee.

Combee sucks it's one of many awful bug/flying types. Anything with that type dies quickly because it's a weak link. Combee gets a 1

Next pokemon to rate is Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur is one of the only grass type pokemon I can actually tolerate. For a grass type, it doesn't have a ton of weaknesses and it's got an excellent design. It's evolved form Venusaur is one of the only good grass type tanks you'll find. It's got a good move pool and good stats, so I give bulbasaur an 8 out of 10.

The next pokemon to rate is Meganium.

While Meganium is far from my favorite grass type starter, or even grass type pokemon, it does serve its purpose as a tank. It is primarily used as a defensive pokemon, and for that, it does its job well because it has access to good recovery/status moves including toxic, giga drain, and leech seed. Aside from its decent base 100 defenses, it hardly has any offensive presence since both of its offenses don't reach 300. Coupled with its mediocre speed of 80, it is outsped by a lot of common fire type threats that completely wall it. 

Altogether, Meganium is an average tank, and a decent pokemon, however, I definitely think Venusaur does a much better job at taking hits and sapping health away. I rate Meganium a 5/10

Next pokemon to rate is Dragonair. 

For a prevoluion Dragonair can actually be quite decent. It has nice typing has a fairly wide movepool which can be useful ingame (though there really is no reason not to evolve it there).

It also gets a nice amount of bulk when holding eviolite which can makes it somewhat viable competetively. It has decent stats all around and thanks to it's ability marvel scale or shed skin whichever you prefer combined with rest + sleep talk + dragon dance and outrage and you got a fairly potent Pokemon in NU.

I'd rate it 7/10

Next Pokemon is Scyther.

Scyther is probably the only good bug/flying type in the series. It's got great attack and speed, making it a really good pokemon, even though it's not fully evolved. It's also got a really good moveset. For these reasons, I'm giving Scyther an 8 out of 10.

The next pokemon to rate is Snorlax.

Snorlax is really a classic Pokemon, probably one of the most well known Gen 1 Pokemon aside for the starters and a few others. Sure it doesn't do anything but its almost always had a role in the games. My rating is an 8/10

Next Pokemon to rate is gengar.

From a competitive point of view, Gengar is a pretty broken pokemon, mega evolution or not. Normally, it has access to Levitate which is great because that makes it immune to ground type moves like earthquake, which it would be susceptible to otherwise. It has a great base 130 special attack and excellent 110 base speed which allows it to outspeed a lot of potent threats. 


With its mega evolution and shadow tag, it just becomes an absolute monster, no wonder its banned from everything. Either way you look at it, Gengar is extremely dangerous, and without preparation, it can punch huge whole in your team. I also like Gengar's mischievous design as well, it suits its ghost/poison typing. 


I rate Gengar a 9/10

Next pokemon to rate is Magmortar. 

   Magmortar can be a great offensive weapon, although his speed holds him back from being used in situations where a Pokémon may have some ground move or other move that can take out a Magmortar just because the ground type attacks can be used by a large range of Pokémon. 
As for his appearance, I never really liked how the entire Magmar line looked. The face is weird, it resembles some kind of bird, with how the legs attach to the body, and it's just a design I really don't like. Although, the yellow patterns on it do look cool. Overall, I'd give Magmortar a 5/10.

Next is Spinda.

Sounds isn't really that great a Pokemon, I mean sometimes it can be cute, but I feel its really weak and can't really offer much, plus just look at its type. 3/10

Next Pokemon to rate is oddisb.

Assuming you mean Oddish, there really isn't much to go off of. It looks like a mix of an onion and a blueberry. It's stats are not that great. At least it is a first generation Pokemon, though. I will give it a 4 out of a 10. 

Next up is a Magikarp. ( Can't wait to see the hate on this thing ) 

Magikarp is one of the most pathetic pokemon in the history of Pokemon. Ignoring the fact that it does evolve into a mighty Gyarados, it has an atrocious moveset: splash, tackle, flail, (and on special occasions bounce). Along with the terrible moveset, it also has some terrible stats. It has no special defense, virtually no attack or special attack. It has decent defense and speed but what's that gonna do for you if you can't even hardly damage your opponent. Overall, Magikarp is one of the worst pokemon in existance, I'm giving it a 2 because there are a few pokemon that I think are worse such as....

The next pokemon to rate is Sunkern.

Oh boy. Sunkern. One of the least popular pokemon. Its stats are horrible, evolves into a flower. :v

I rate it a 2/10


Next up is Houndour. 

Houndour and Houndoom are very good in-game, but not so much competitively (which is how I usually rate pokemon). They can hit hard, but their typing is horrible, being weak to 4 very common types (water, rock, fighting, ground). Combine that with their awful defenses and they will easily die in one hit. I also don't like how most of their coverage is physical, while they're clearly special based.

6/10

let's rate Gliscor!

Gliscor is an interesting Pokémon, while I've never used it
since I don't think I've ever caught it's pre-evolved form it has an interesting
design and actually reminds me a bit of one of my favorite bat Pokémon Crobat.

The next Pokémon to rate is Zygarde.

Zygarde is an interesting Pokemon if a bit obscure. It feels like there was a 3rd game intended that was supposed to tie Zygarde in with Xerneas and Ylvetal lore wise and it doesn't really have the wow factor of said Pokemon. I also like that it's based on the Midgard Serpent from norse mythology since it's something I find pretty interesting myself though that is being a bit specific.

Actually usage wise it's stats are alright for a legendary Pokemon nothing that really stands out besides it's defense being at 121, overall though it's stats aren't that impressive.

It can definietly be good ingame but competetively basically the only thing it has going for it is it's subcoil set which while alright I haven't found that impressive.

In the end though not comparing it to other legendaries, it would probably still deserve a 7.5/10.

Next Pokemon to rate is Stunfisk :3

Stunfisk is a dunsparce clone with a different type: ground/electric. If you look at it's stats, you'll see an eerily similar pattern to dunsparce: High hp, good defenses, very low speed, and low attack/ sp attack. Forutnately it has a good moveset While it has a unique type combo and good moves, it's dunsparce like stats make me think that Gamefreak has run out of new ideas. I rate Stunfisk a 4/10.

Next pokemon to rate is Meloetta.

Meloetta is a Pokémon with a design I think looks really nice. Along with that, the special stats this Pokémon owns is great as well. The amount of moves it can learn is great as well. From moves like Hyper Voice and Psychic going great with a Meloetta. A very versatile Pokémon that has quite a few good uses. 8/10

Next Pokémon to rate is Houndoom.

I've always liked houndoom's design and its unique typing, but I wish it was a little bit bulkier before it mega evolves. A super effective stealth rock or fighting/water type move will more than likely knock it out. This make it difficult to run competitively. 

Aside from that, it does have its uses, and it can become a potent threat with access to both will-o-wisp and nasty plot.  If I were to run a set, I would more than likely give it max speed, 200 special attack, and dump the rest into HP with a timid nature so it can outspeed more threats. Overall, it is a decent pokemon and with some smart stat investments, it can sweep teams more effectively. I rate it a 6.8/10.


Next pokemon up is Victreebell
