Seviper: is it a hidden gem or just the weaker rival?
Seviper gets overshadowed by Zangoose, but it has a solid Special Attack and a decent movepool. Does Seviper have any real competitive niche, or is it mostly a Hoenn nostalgia pick?

Sharpedo: Speed Boost glass cannon or Mega Sharpedo with Strong Jaw?
Sharpedo is fast and hits hard but folds the moment anything touches it. Mega Sharpedo with Strong Jaw makes Crunch and Aqua Fang scary. Is it worth the risk, or is it too frail to rely on?

Sableye: is Mega Sableye with Magic Bounce worth it?
Prankster makes Sableye a great support Pokémon, but Mega Sableye with Magic Bounce is a different strategy entirely. Which do you use, and is Sableye still one of the best utility Pokémon around?

Absol: Mega Absol’s Magic Bounce, is it worth it?
Absol has a high Attack stat and a good movepool, but I never know whether to use the standard set or go Mega for Magic Bounce. Which version of Absol do you prefer, and is it worth the Mega slot?

Scraggy — is it actually good, or just a fun Dark/Fighting pick?
Scraggy has always been one of my favorite early Unova catches, and I love that it gets Intimidate or Moxie depending on the ability. Does it have any real use before it evolves into Scrafty, or is it purely a stepping stone?

Alakazam — is it still viable with 4x weaknesses or has it fallen behind?
Alakazam's special attack and speed are still elite on paper, but that glass cannon typing and quad weakness to Bug and Ghost feels riskier every generation as movepools expand. Does it still earn a team slot competitively or do the newer Psychic-types just do the job safer?

Absol — does the "disaster" gimmick actually mean anything in-game?
Always loved Absol's design and the whole "appears before disasters" lore angle. Curious if Mega Absol still holds up competitively or if it's mostly a fan-favorite for the aesthetic and backstory at this point.

Nidoking — worth using over Nidoqueen?
Going back to the earlier Nidoran debate — curious specifically about Nidoking now. Does the higher Attack stat make it the better competitive pick over Nidoqueen, or is it more balanced than people think?

Gengar — best moveset and is it still meta relevant?
Curious what everyone's running on Gengar these days, especially with the amount of Dark and Ghost types floating around now. Still a solid special attacker or has it been outclassed?

Nidoran — male or female, which one do you actually pick?
Always end up going back and forth on this — Nidoran male evolves into Nidoking and female into Nidoqueen, and both lines are solid in their own way. Which one do you actually catch/use in a playthrough, and is there a real competitive edge to one over the other or is it mostly preference?
