Best Pokemon Generation by Type, Day 14: POISON

Gen V (This is terrible. Having ONLY 2/3 of the Scolipede line as DECENT is not a great look for this generation's Poison offerings as a whole. It's weird that a generation that cribbed SO MANY designs from Gen I came nowhere near replicating its Poison abundance.)

Gen VII (Salazzle is top tier, but nothing else here is quality, and there are far too many Pokemon to have ONE good option.)

Gen VI (The Mega evolutions are all that this generation really has going for it. Dragalge is okay, but it's such a late evo.)

Gen IX (I don't like anything here as much as Salazzle, but I like Revavroom, Grafaiai and Iron Moth well enough. There are some definite duds though, and I can't enjoy it fully.)

Gen II (Crobat is amazing, Qwilfish and Ariados are okay, Spinarak is awful. There are only four here and a bottom tier and top tier balance out.)

Gen III (Seviper is awesome, Roselia and Dustox are okay, the Gulpin/Swalot duo is pointless. It's meh overall, but more consistently okay than Gen II.)

Gen VI (There's nothing all that BAD here, but nothing among this group is top tier for me. It's still surprisingly solid, given some of the Poison-type lines post-Gen I, but only okay.)

Gen I (There is almost NOTHING bad about this generation. I don't care for Gloom or Venomoth, but everything else is decent to great. It's hard not to vote for Gen I here.)

Gen VIII (On paper, I probably like Gen I better, but this is the ONE time I will praise Gen VIII, because asie from Toxel, there is not a single bad aspect to this generation's line-up. Huh. How about that. The one typing that has nothing but dual-types is Gen VIII's opus. Shocker.)
