Maamoswine, Glaceon, Weavile, Luxray, Electivire, Magnezone, Rampardos, Rhyperior, Garchomp, Leafeon and Darkrai are perfect.

Torterra, Empoleon, Dialga, Palkia, Magmortar, Porygon-Z, Yanmega, Tangrowth and Roserade should be borderline ok.

Infernape, Heatran, Togekiss, Gallade, Staraptor, Honchkrow, Hippowdon, Lucario and Giratina are just "Don't bother" in plain, flat words.

I do not count Regigigas because it is going to be nerfed drastically, which would make it inferior.

"muh lack of Outrage" said the plebs who don't realize Palkia and Dialga have the extra bulk and resistances to pull it off compared to Salamence.

True, but the point is that many people see DM as inferior because it's a one bar move with a late attack window that outside of a community day has been exclusive to one of the less bulky dragon types. This has made it a not reliable move since Salamence is unlikely to successfully fire off more than one DM in a fight. Palkia and Dialga have higher defenses and their types grant them different resistances and weaknesses, meaning they will likely be able to use it much more reliably.

All 3 starters are kinda ok pokemon, massive upgrade a year later when they get CDs.

Lucario and Staraptor are also kinda ok. Luxray is good, third best non-legendary electric, ahead of Jolteon.

Everything else that's been released so far is useless filler.

I'm sure there will be more discussion about what is good and what is not good when more pokemon get released, however at the moment it's useless to speculate about unreleased mons because the absence of the new moves from any movesets means it's almost certain there will be changes before release.

I genuinely and entirely recommend not looking at the past few days worth of overly emotionally invested posts for advice.

Of those that are available to catch none are particularly noteworthy.

The incoming electric, ice, grass, rock, and dark types are worth keeping an eye on. Of the legendaries and mythicals, Dialga and Palkia are potential nukes and Darkrai will be sweet. Anything unreleased can be considered suspect to change, and any rejoicing or crying should be held off until they're available.
