So basically Empoleon was like Infernape, being absolutely amazing and great in it debut generation but dropped in the later generations because of power creep, I thought Empoleon would have some OU niche as a defensive rain mon. At least Empoleon is still good and isn't in NU or PU unlike Torterra whose STAB completely screwed over for its role
@joanaguayoplanell4912

The difference is that Empoleon is still perfectly viable in OU and absolutely thrives in the more fast paced metagame of Battle Spot Singles, mostly because of his access to Yawn that only Swampert and Hippowdon can run with a similar effectiveness.

Empoleon certainly had a pretty good competitive career with being in OU for the first two generations it appeared in and then in UU for the next two generations. Being a water/steel type certainly helped against the likes of sandstorm, toxic spikes and stealth rock which gave an edge Empoleon had over other water type Pokémon.

UPDATE: As october 2023, Empoleon is OU in Scarlet & violet. It got roost, flip turn and haze, and its hidden ability is now competitive. It also got some good old moves, like knock off or roar, which arent really common in the gen9 metagame due to poor distribution. It will probably drop to UU, since its only true niche is walling walking wake and roaring manaphy out, but history has been made: empoleon is a legitimate OU pokemon which had more usage than Landorus-therian.

Empoleon is the one fully-evolved Sinnoh starter that I've pretty much slept on. I started with Infernape, then went for Torterra this one time and never looked back. Though, I knew it benefited greatly from the Defog buff in Gen VI so that's nice.

Water/steel is a really unique and interesting dual typing. It`s kind of sad that we have only gotten 1 mon with it so far. Oh well, at least it has managed to put said typing to good use.

Empoleon with Defog in Gen 6 is a hacked pokemon, however, if it originated from Gen 4 it's legal-ish. And Gen 7 reintroduced the move so you can have legal of generation Defog Empoleon.

I actually run assault vest Empoleon... That thing is a beast, not only crushing regular stuff like scizor and hydra, but with 496 sp def it eats up a manectric hit, destroys the nidos (which I actually haven't seen in ages) and slaughters pidgeot. Along with my Umbreon's wish support, Napoleon tends to be the last one standing even if I lose. Probably sunpar, but I didn't want a spinner because none fit on my team and obviously defog stealth rock sets can be annoying to use.

In Gen 7 UU, while it's probably not his best set and rather a niche one, I used him as a sp def pivot in my bulky offensive team. Empoleon @ Waterium Z Ability: Torrent EVs: 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 4 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Hydro Pump - Defog - Ice Beam - Roar His main role is to deal with powerful special attacker especially against enemy meteor Spamer such as Hydreigon or Latias. At the same time his interesting resistance (rock, bug, steel) allowing him to take strong physical attacks such as stone edge or Scizor's Uturn and bullet punch. Even without investment he can resist a M Beedrill's Drill Run or M Aerodactyl's earthquake and strikes back. What makes him great is that he keeps a good offensive pressure being able to deal with a lot of threats with waterium Z such as Scizor or Sharpedo which are OHKO or win duel against Primarina especially the spec one. Ice Beam is for coverage and Roar allows him to phaze calm mind Latias.

I actually used empoleon in OU with a iron defense set up so that it could come in on steel types to set up iron defense and hit steel types with a hidden power fire, ice beam, and scald because after a iron defense it can take a earthquake from a choice banded garchomp and its a hard counter to steel types taking their hits and dishing out hidden power fires also taking care of dragons and normal types with relative ease
