a good part of it yes that Gen 9 has absolutely ridiculous power creep. if you look at OU and Ubers, you'll notice a fuck ton of Paldea Pokemon. this is no accident.

Garchomp was still very good in all prior gens with Fairy in them, though that once-trollish speed stat now kind of just exists nowadays.

Tyranitar is in the weird spot where its typing is objectively terrible, but it also heavily reliant on it. That STAB combo played a huge part of why it was so threatening for so long, not to mention it has a pretty good incentive to either not use Tera or Tera into Rock (you can do it, but are you really going to Tera it into something that takes damage from sand?)
