...frankly, most stuff past gen V.
@lvxferre @sleepybisexual Gen IV was when the real power creep started to happen.
I know gen 8 pokemon are too strong but how was gen 4 guilty?
@sleepybisexual Aside from what lvxferre said, there's also Stealth Rock with very ineffective way of removing it because of ghost types, random 120 base power moves and the physical/special split essentially buffing the coverage of offensive pokemon (Gengars can actually use Ghost type moves). Essentially the gen that made dragons overpowered. I guess you can say these are all subtle. Gen 6 onwards just made it more blatant with gimmicks like mega-evolutions, z-moves and terrain.
Yup, and also the legendaries got a lot stronger too.
