Each to his own, I guess. I've already admitted that Carra can be threatening, just not to the degree you guys keep going on about.

It's a pity really. You'd think no weaknesses, acceptable bulk and gigantic movepool would be enough, but that speed hurts it so much. It can beat many threats one-on-one yes, but it usually fails to beat another since it only has pseudo-recovery which is nowhere near enough to continue taking the numerous attacks it will have to weather before going for its own.
| Charizard | -0.33145% |
People should really try to look past the SR weakness and see Charizard for the beast that it is. Fire STAB is crazy good in this meta, with Flying STAB being icing on the cake for Primeape and whatnot. Charizard's power and coverage should never be underestimated as it dismantles defensive and offensive cores alike if given the chance, even with SR on the field. Roost helps too.

I should really start using this again :P
| Sawsbuck | -1.48740% |
| Victreebel | -0.39784% |
Sawsbuck is arguably the biggest case of 'hero to zero' I've witnessed so far. Its coverage is neat, but for some reason it still lacks some sort of punch. Perhaps people didn't like how LO recoil stacks up quickly with Double-Edge. Perhaps they don't like how Horn Leech can fail to KO Golurks or Samurotts while getting KOed in return. Its speed tier is now the norm as opposed to above average, and it doesn't fare too well against the new arrivals either.
However, Victreebel's comparatively lower drop may indicate most Sawsbuck players haven't tried Sawsbuck in Sun. Sun teams are super dangerous right now (still don't get how Victreebel fell) and Sawsbuck offers the best balance between power and speed in Sun (Jumpluff wants to set up to be threatening, and that wastes Sun turns).
I can't seem to find Exeggutor in 1850 stats. Is it forgotten, or has it really fallen that far? :I
