I think there needs to be a clear structure before we start this.

Factors such as the following could be important:

How popular is the Pokemon? Is it used by a wide variety of players, both skilled and non-skilled?

How strong is the Pokemon? Can it pull off effective combos and good mindplay?

How evasive is the Pokemon? It might be bulky and slow, open to lots of hits or it might be fast and slim, making it easy to dodge attacks (especially with the dodge function).

Does this Pokemon have a large "match-up" range? Can it combat many other Pokemon with more advantageous qualities and have a few disadvantageous (going to use Brawl as an example, Ice Climbers have a clear advantage to almost all characters in the game, but will most likely be destroyed by a equally skilful Peach)? Does it have lots of bad match-ups to other Pokemon and few good match-ups?

And of course, are they simply able to do well in a fair battle between two equally skilled players?

But don't listen to Aarron if you don't want to, Aarron's silly.
