Everything goes- how Gamefreak treated them, how normal people treated them, how compfags treated them, how much suffering is in their pokedex entry, how much and what kind of attention they got in secondary media, roll that into a ball and put the mon on the chart. I'll start with some.
Suffering-Deserved chart for Pokemon
Talonflame
100 suffering
10 deserved
He did not deserve to die like that just because shitters couldn't take a rock pokemon.
100 suffering, 70 deserved
Charizard
Suffering: 0
Deserved: 80
Don't know if I'm doing this right. If something feels off, either feel free not to include it, or replace it if another Pokemon is worthy.
Regigigas
Suffering: 100
Deserved: 0
Sceptile
Suffering: 90
Deserving: 0
Sceptile got screwed over by the Physical/Special moves split in Gen 4 harder than any other 'mon to my knowledge.
If its special movepool equaled its physical movepool, or its physical and special attacks swapped, it'd be decent.
Could still use other improvements here and there, but either one of those two could take it from NU to RU/UU at least.
Typhlosion
Suffering 80
Deserving 0
You do not get to put Greninja down as 100 suffering when he gets the best hidden ability, the best event ability, is in Smash, and is prominently featured in anime and merch.
>but he's not in Gen 8
okay but that's not 100 suffering material
typh is kinda boring so that's automatic 10-15 deserving
(0, 90)
I really wanted to carry this bitch in my BW2 run, but she keep breaking like glass, even over leveled.
It did get suffering with rocks but all off the attention it gets nulifies it, that's a tricky one
If attention counts, then Raichu should be at 75 suffering points.
Masuda
Suffering 50
Deserved 100
Ohmori at 100-100
suffering 90
deserved 10
CHARIZARD
0 suffering 40 deserved
Was shit on in the anime a bit but became the poster boy of Kanto, got a promotion to being the only pokemon from the pokemon trainer to be playable in smash 4, got 2 mega’s, a gigantimax, was Leon’s ace, and many more things in favor of it that I can’t think of. Just by association of Kanto pandering it should suffer a bit but won’t ever due to game freak worshipping it.
>Arcanine
Suffering 55, Deserving 25
Suffering 60, Deserving 30
Suffering 5, Deserving 85-90
>120 bp priority move
fuck you it deserved every bit
Not sure about deserved, but Parasect and the Galar fossils are the two that come to mind for suffering.
Burastu baan jokes for 6 years and being called jobfrog for years because of that
80 suffering at the absolute worst
