OU=Overused. Great stats, great movepool/ability. Even if you don't see it much, it is so strong, that it is too good for UU (such as Tarous)

UU=Underused. Not as good as OU, with either poor stats, or halting movepool. Many UU pokemon can be good for OU, but their movepool, typing, and in rare instances, stats, halt them from OU status. Such as Vileplume.

Many UU/BL (Borderline) pokes aren't that bad though, it's just there is an OU that does it better (Blaziken and Infernape)

It is a hax item, so it doesn't matter. But yeah, it's permanent. Focus band fails though. Quick claw is /THE/ king of outragously cheap hax items.

It really doesn't take much effort to post a solid sentence XD. Anyways, I was wondering why poliwrath is UU. Out of all the UU pokemon I so love to use in OU, poliwrath has worked the best. Why is it UU? I'm talkin' 3rd gen BTW. And even D/P, why?

I'm guessing because Poliwag/whirl get forgotten about?

I certainly forgot about Poliwag/whirl/wrath

Idk.. it's just a forgettable Pokemon

Well...yes. you can use any move after mind reader. It is a horrific combo though. Never use it.

Two brick breaks have 150 power, vs. 1 dynamicpunch that has 100 power. It is a waste, trust me. Just don't use it, it sucks, just like lock on+zap cannon. It just fails.

Yeah, but mind reader + dynamicpunch, the combo, is lol. Dynamicpunch is fine by itself (w/ no guard) but is otherwise garbage. That's what cross chop is for.

If you want Leech Seed back, you can always go to the Move Relearner in Pastoria City.
