I feel so bad for the Gen 4 "OU by Technicality" #Pokemon. The technicality is that they were used enough to be OU, even though they're actually too weak to see any use in the tier. Electivire & Dusknoir suck so much ass in OU, meanwhile their brother Magmortar is a huge NU threat.

Despite having 123 base Attack and extremely good coverage, Electivire is basically useless in OU Tier.Being a Ghost-type with 135 Defense and Special Defense makes Dusknoir seem like a great prospect. However, dawg has 45 HP and the "Pressure" Ability, making it completely outclassed by Rotom for blocking rapid-spin, and its 45 speed makes it outclassed by Gengar for attacking.Magmortar was part of the same set as Electivire and Dusknoir (Gen 4 Evolutions to 2-Stage Lines that were introduced in previous generations). However, unlike the other two, it wasn't used enough to end up in OU. This resulted in it falling down to NU, where it not only had the tools to be one of the best 'mons in the tier; but good enough to have a niche in UU, the tier above it. In being less popular during Generation 4, it was able to see competitive success to some degree.

I know that Lillie's Clefairy was a bad card, but I wonder if they'll consider slapping Fairy Zone on other #Pokemon just to counter Dragon Decks. I mean... They don't gotta 'cuz Dragapult rotates next spring, but I'm just kinda curious. #ptcg

Lillie's Clefairy ex A Psychic Type pokemon card with the ability "Fairy Zone", an ability that gives all your Foe's Dragon Type cards a Psychic Weakness.
