Don't Use This, Use That
The purpose of this thread is to discuss common sets that are seen as overrated and suggest better alternatives. There are a lot of Pokemon and sets in the usage stats that are ineffective, and we should raise awareness that these sets are not optimal. Furthermore, there are a few Pokemon that don't even deserve to be in the tier because they simply do not work effectively. There are certain Pokemon being used on the ladder in a way that reduces their viability. For example, Defensive Armaldo is not effective in the metagame, though that doesn't mean Armaldo is bad as a whole, as it does have viable offensive sets that it can use, as it's a very good Swift Swim sweeper. You can also suggest alternative Pokemon that outclass another in a certain role, such as suggesting Wartortle or Torkoal for Rapid Spinning instead of the aforementioned Armaldo. If you think a Pokemon or set is wrongfully being accused of being ineffective, you are encouraged to discuss why you think that way.
*Please do not use this thread to bash Pokemon, try to educate the playerbase and teach them what not to use. Any offensive posts will be deleted/edited.
Some things that we would like discussed to begin:
