By the way, the tiers from highest to lowest are Ubers, OU, UU, RU, NU, LC. Generally Pokemon are placed in the category that fits them best, so normally the Pokemon in the higher tiers are more powerful/more versatile than the ones in the lower tiers. Each of these are suited to only their own tiers, and should generally not be used in higher tiers. Most of these guys are in NU, so if you’re going to the higher tiers (OU, UU) they will outclassed, and don’t bother using them.Alright so;

Typing: Ghost/DarkStats: 50/92/108/92/108/35 (HP, Atk, Def, S.Atk, S.Def, Spe)Abilities: Pressure/InfiltratorPros:

Cons:

Basically: Pretty good walling Pokemon, with offensive options as well

Typing: RockStats: 97/165/60/65/50/58 (HP, Atk, Def, S.Atk, S.Def, Spe)Abilities: Mold Breaker, Sheer ForcePros:

Cons:

Basically:Hits like a truck, can’t do anything else

Cons:

Basically:Awesome setup move, but faces competition

Cons

Basically:Excellent normal type Pokemon

Typing: Bug/FlyingStats: 55/35/50/55/110/85 (HP, Atk, Def, S.Atk, S.Def, Spe)Abililties: Swarm, Early Bird, Iron FistPros

Cons- Bad HP, bad attack, bad defense, bad special attack- Bad typing really, Stealth Rock rapes it, weakness to flying, rock, fire, electric and ice

Basically:Really not a good Pokemon to use, better options out there. Here’s a nice smogon quote to finish this up :3>Ledian is the best Pokemon as it is the cutest. Sadly, this doesn’t mean much on the battlefield.

SpiritombPro:-No weaknesses.-Solid defences.Con:-No reliable recovery.-Not a lot of usable moves.-Very slow.-It have competition.Spiritomb is a nice Pokemon, but it lacks the stats to properly exploit its typing. It will have a hard time trying to take repeated strong hits from strong, neutral attacks since it lacks a good recovery moves and it is to slow to properly cripple a foe. That being said, if you play it right it can be a pain to face. But it is often better to use Jellicent or Dusclops if you want a defensive Ghost type.

RampardosPro:-High Attack.-Powerful moves.-Nice abilities.Con:-Bad Speed.-Bad typing.-Lacklustre defences.Rampardos sadly isn’t to great of a Pokemon. It may be powerful enough to wreck most things, but it gets wrecked very easily itself. It can function on a Trick Room team, but apart from that, Rampardos needs to much support to be an asset.

HuntailPro:-Ok Attack and Defense.-Shell Smash+Baton Pass.Con:-Bad Speed.-Shallow movepool.-Shell Smash+Baton Pass is largely outlawed.-Competition.As with Ranpardos, Huntail lacks the speed to truly shine. And unlike Rampardos, it can’t deal any monstrous amounts of damage. It also have generic movepool it shares with a plethora of other Water types. It can be very dangerous with the combination of Shell Smash+Baton Pass, allowing it to give another team member a massive stat boost it sweep itself. It’s so good, Pokemon Showdown, the main battle simulator, outlawed it since it was to overpowered. Well, bummer.

KangaskhanPro:-All around good stats.Con:-To week to hit hard.-To frail to take a hit.-Normal type.-Moderately diverse movepool.-Very occasional abilities.Kanga is a jack of all trades but the master of none. It’s decent stats don’t allow it to really compete with anything since it have no clear role. That being said, it can be a decent physical sweeper, but only decent. There are better options out there, such as Ambipom or the Porygon and Chansey families that gives Kanga massive competition.

LedianPro:-Ok Special Defense.Con:-But every other stat decent at best.-Massive Stealth Rock weakness.-No useful moves.-Lacks good resistances.There isn’t much good to be said about Ledian. It quite frankly, stinks. Apart from its special Defense, everything about him his downright horrible. It can set up Dual Screens, but that’s as far as its usefulness go. If you want to use Ledian, consider something else in first hand. Volcarona, Scizor, Heracros, Yanmega and Scyter are all better Bug options.
