Well, I agree that HGSS Bugsy is way harder than its GSC counterpart, which isn't that terrifying but it's mostly a matter of mons available at the time. The pool is rather limited at the time and not many mons are able to reliably win against Bugsy. Spinarak, Cyndaquil, Spearow, Onix, Geodude...

As I've used pretty much everything last year, I'll try to help with the thread. I've already posted my own ranking here. I've tried to dig through the thread and use my memory about experience with each mon for this post. I've changed my mind between the begening where I overrated some mons...

So, I did the run. I caught a level 7 Slowpoke and only used it to defeat all Rocket grunt. It required 2 trips to the Pokecenter, one after the first grunt and one after the second one. Slowpoke was then able to defeat Grunt #3 and Grunt #4. Afterwards, Slowpoke could defeat at once every...

I've used both Slowbro and Slowking as well. While I can get that tiering both differently may feel weird because they are incredibly similar, I still feel it's deserved. I'll start off by saying that training Slowpoke isn't actually hard. It has alright power and great bulk at this point. I...

Sorry for double posting but here is my own tier-list : Do note that Phanpy is the Silver one and Teddiursa is the Gold one. Donphan and Ursaring are the Crystal one. Mons that evolves with an evolutionnary stone will be given 2 ranks (one with evolution and one with pre-evo). Now, I'm gonna...

I finished my run as well and I've used everything I wanted in GSC. I actually did 3 runs with : Wobbuffet/Exeggcute/Shellder/Sneasel, Remoraid/Gligar/Swinub and Delibird/Skarmory/Phanpy (S). Here are the logs : Whitney (19) : Don't bother fighting Clefairy as Counter/Mirror Coat don't work...

Totally agree with both Rhydon in E-tier as well as split ranking for Machamp and Machoke. As for Girafarig, Sentret (and Rattata), I guess it would make sense to have them in the same tier. I personally found Girafarig a bit better because while it comes later, it's more consistent for Morty...

Finished the run. Here are the logs : Chuck (31) : MW Surf 2HKOes Primeape, which doesn't do much back. Poliwrath outspeeds, 2HKOes with Dynamic Punch (well will OHKO after prior damages) and takes nothing from any hit. Jasmine (31) : With a PRZCureBerry, Seel can defeat a Magnemite, 2HKOing...

Agree with every placement with the exception of Girafarig, which I can get and won't contest. I'm especially happy to see Crystal Teddiursa in A-tier. As for mons that can be test to be places, I'll link Shellder, Venomoth*, Bellsprout** and Poliwrath and will explain why I feel Gengar should...

Honestly, I'd say that Abra does significantly better than Totodile. While it comes earlier, Bugsy battle depends on the unreliable Rage. From Whitney onward, Kadabra/Alakazam are truely better. Whitney depends on hitting every Fury Cutter, a problem the Abra doesn't have. Morty relies on bad AI...

Kadabra and especially Alakazam are held to such high regards because they almost walk through the game. Outside of Umbreon and Houndoom from Karen, Alakazam just wins against everything. Every Gym Leader, including Clair is an easy win with everything being either OHKOed or 2HKOed. It's pretty...

Finally did my run with Haunter/Poliwhirl/Corsola/Farfetch'd. Nothing important to note, all mons were fairly bad (D-rank worthy) and I c/ped for earlier battles of Poliwhirl and Haunter. Here are the logs : Falkner (11) : Nop Bugsy (17/18) : Beating the cocoons takes forever as it will...

Melmetal: Do Not Ban

ausma edit: confirmed

Here is the run, I c/ped for the Eevee's rival fight and I had to hack a Mankey as I forgot it wasn't available in Crystal. Still, I got it at level 15 and it had no impact whatsoever. I also caught Weezing directly as it felt better than evolving Koffing. Rival (23) : Avoid Haunter. 2HKO...

I have the same opinion as Xator_Nova on Tauros. Tauros is obviously great and while I can get A-tier (and even hesitated when I posted about it), it would fit better B-tier I think. It only comes at mid-game and actually struggles in some gyms, like it can't hope to do something against Morty...

Sorry for double post but here is the run, I c/ped for Onix as it will have the same performance anyway until Morty anyway. Got Espeon at level 32, I'll explain later what I did to get it earlier Rival (23) : Avoid Haunter. 2HKO Magnemite with Mud Slap and Zubat is Headbutt. Also outspeeds...

Echoing the previous sentiment and Magnitude is pretty reliable for Morty, only requiring Magnitude 7 to OHKO Gengar iirc. I also had the same experience with Granbull and C-tier is perfect for it. It's really impressive how with just a bit better stats, Ursaring performs so much better...

Yeah I guess it would be better to merge Vileplume, Gloom and Bellossom in Oddish while indicating the specificities in the write up (i.e Vileplume is better and it's better to evolve Bellossom in late game). As for Miltank I wouldn't mind B-tier although I feel A-tier might be preferable. It...

I did a run with Togepi, Slowpoke (Slowking), Machoke, Bellossom and Miltank. Here are the logs : My Togepi evolved at level 20, just before the Whitney's fight. Bugsy (16) : Just wins against the cocoons with Swift and that's assuming Kakuna doesn't poison with its first Poison Sting. Rival...
