    Even in TR Rhyperior is usually more useful to be honest.

    To be fair, Rampardos just kind of sucks.

    Sorry,
    I'm just ambitious for a metagame where everything can thrive.
    Where every Pokemon gets the chance to shine.

    I mean, face it,
    we all want that for at least ONE Pokemon.

    I mean BL is excluded a lot, but in a way they kind of have to be. They would destroy OUs and half of them can't do anything in OUs. The other half can do a lot and I'm surprised they don't see more use. The tier system will most likely always be imperfect, but I think it's pretty good now so we have to deal with it lol

    You make a valid argument. However, I just think that BL is basically "Here are your Poke-lepers. Enter at your own risk."

    In regard to BL being its own tier, it already is in the most literal sense. I assume you mean that it should have its own metagame, to which I would respond that it would be very unstable. The only thing that can take any kind of special hit is Regice, which still loses to most any special attacker in the tier. The physical side is a little better with the likes of Slowbro and Tangrowth, but they are still pretty easy to get around. I've played a few BL matches before, and I threw together 6 random sweepers and didn't lose a game. It's just way too shaky to actually have a serious metagame. It's cool for fun, but otherwise, it won't really work.

    Also, Staraptor cannot be stopped. Period. It would basically be revenge killing to the max but to a awfully excessive extent. There's nowhere to post my opinion so I thought I'd post it here, but yeah. BL isn't like other tiers besides ubers at all, so it probably shouldn't be treated like them. Even ubers can at least run a functional metagame, whereas BL doesn't take a whole lot of skill to win at.

    Though for a change of pace, BL battles aren't so bad. "Use Magmortar and Staraptor" will win you most any game, but it can be fun.
