Big 3


The big 3 are pokemon which most teams consider a MUST if you are creating a team. Alot of the time fights will revolve around who can keep their "big 3" the healthiest and some pokemon have found niches to just counter the big 3


Snorlax
- Snorlax is one of the big 3.
- It is loved for it's amazing hp stat and insane movepool consisting of both defensive and offensive sets
- Snorlax's normal typing aswell as it's high attack stat allows it to abuse STAB.
- Also as it has high hp and can learn amnesia, it becomes a very powerful wall in generation 1's special attacking based metagame.
Chansey
- Chansey is another 1 of the big 3.
- Chansey is considered the special wall of Gen 1 OU
- Chansey has a great 105 base special stat and an insane 250 base hp stat
- This makes it able to withstand physical attackers and makes it night impossible to die to special attackers
- To add salt in the wound it is one of the few pokemon in generation 1 OU that learns a recovery move making it able to heal off all the work you have done to it.
Chansey
- Tauros is the last but not least of the big 3.
- Tauros being a normal type with a high attack stat like Snorlax allows it to use normal STAB to its advantage.
- Due to how generation 1 merged the special attack and special defense, it gets a nice 70 base special stat
- This makes it able to also use special moves in its arsenal which it gets alot of.
- Unlike snorlax, it has high speed which allows it to outspeed alot of pokemon which threatens its bulk.
