Their poinson type meant that not many people liked to use them. Their
evoled ground dual-type meant that they had some better abilities, but
poison meant psychic and other ground Pokémon could easily finish them off.
Speaking of Balbasaur, what would be a good combination? I like having leech
seed possibly toxic or sludge bomb (if that's possible) a grass attack and
something else. The grass attack could be Solarbeam combined with sunny day,
but that means there aren't any stat boosting or plain power attacks. I like
having a normal attack for Pokémon who there's no real advantage over, like
body slam.
In fact I wish body slam was a TM you could get somewhere, because it is
quite strong and can paralyse. I think in the early games, RBY, it was a TM
that was available, but you'd need to use it well to pass it on to others
from GSC, but there's no point since we've now got Ru/Sa.
