A few points of contention:
- As an early-route Bug type Pokemon, it tends to evolve and peak very early in the game and as Pokemon BSTs start to increase towards the later stages of the game, it tends to fall off in usefulness/strength.
- Due to falling off harshly after the first 3-4 gyms, I certainly wouldn't say that it was more OP than Gyarados, a Pokemon that only became more and more useful as it gained levels due to excellent base stats, typing, abilities and just enough moves for a solid physical moveset with a boosting move. Kricketune may be better than Gyarados for the first 20 levels or so, but afterwards I'd go for Gyarados every time.
- Technician is less of a point here as with the increase of Fury Cutter's BP from 10 -> 40 by generation VI and the power of the move doubles on each successive hit, it'd only apply on the first hit. It also.. is supposed to cap at 160 BP but I peeked at the code and it seems like it's wasn't updated along with the generation VI base power change from 20->40 so it's stronger than it should be (which implies that the power might not be Kricketune itself but the STAB Fury Cutter in a part of the game full of things weak to Bug).
- As for moving it, I don't think Ame has any plans for that especially because it's not a Pokemon most players would even consider for use under normal circumstances. It's really neat to see them being used in this way and I think it'd feel lackluster or even go back to being ignored if moved to a later part of the game.
So aside from a bit of unintended Fury Cutter strength, I think Kricketot/tune is fine where it is for the time being.
Also, a brief mention that we don't condone the use of this word in such a manner. Please refrain from doing so.
