Do 2nd stage Pokemon have any competitive use anywhere?

Dec. 11, 2020

Some 2nd stage Pokemon are in higher tiers like Dusclops but most are not used. Is there any competitive format where they are used?

NFE (Not Fully Evolved) is an Other Metagame in which the main premise is simple: only Pokémon that can evolve are allowed.

Players cannot use any Pokémon that is fully evolved or does not have an evolution. Additionally, the following Pokémon have been banned from NFE:

The ones that are not allowed generally have solid niches in other formats.

Hope I helped!
