It's one of those things that it's quote-unquote "bad" because of it's relationship to others in it's role and not the stat itself. 110+ in an offensive stat is still pretty dang good.
Someone on Reddit made "the Tinkaton Ratio". Looking at a Pokemon's attacking stat and it's strongest STAB move base power is a way to evaluate a Pokemon's raw power. For example oddly there are lots of Pokemon with around 130 base attack and a 120BP stab move. Gouging fire on sun has 234 base power Flare Blitz (before stab or items) coming of a 115 base attack. It's strong.
Gouging Fire is so to speak, not only the father of good low tier entei, but also what reshiram would like to be in Ubers but in the format of mortals (OU), is quite bulki IN ITS RESPECTIVE FORMAT, has a speed that although average, compensates in different ways and overcomes several offensive threats, as well as defend very well on both sides, one of the few dragons that comes well to a team because it is neutral to fairy and ice, as well as a fire not weak to water, something that is appreciated, mornin sun that makes being in the sun is to be GOD, (in VGC although half is forgotten is quite good there, I would say very good, just missing representatives), although it lacks useful resistances, having recovery and can in a few turns or in 1 to finish you if you are not faster, is something that should be respected, a defense that without investing will hold solid hits, Burning Bulwark destroys those pokemon that wanted to hit it with Headlong Rush or liquidation, burning them and consequently leaving them invalid. .it has flaws like needing a higher speed, needing some more power, and that Burning Bulwark can be more predictable here than in VGC, even so it is a threat that should be respected, if this pokemon is already a threat to fairies, water type under the sun or even opposing dragons already with a dd, imagine how insane it would be to have extreme speed and sacred fire? crazy...Although I have not used it much, when one feels security in being defensive, offensive, support (VGC sometimes) and that it will do its roles well, covers that even the fairy type will not want to receive a flare blitz +1, for me one of the best users of the tera thanks to its good defenses, and the few weaknesses he has, offensive and defensive synergies with the best teammates makes, that this pokemon even if he is not TOP tier like gliscor or great tusk, is good enough to be used in several teams, a good paradox of the past in absolutely everything to tell the truth.☕
He was talking about past paradoxes, since they’re the ones with an ability that boosts them in the sun. Kinda like if they made an electric type future paradox it would be extra good.
Entei has finally become relevant again after so many gens of being the least viable of the beasts, but now he is back to get stronger. Glad both Fire and Entei are amazing in singles and doubles.
I think due to the fact it requires skillful setup and positioning to beat everything in the first place, I think it is just fine enough, like real strong and a top 10 mon but probably not broken, since it can be awkward to set up and position with, and its easier to beat than say something like volc which has way more than just three really good sets
I forgot to mention it's not necessarily impossible to check before it sets up, as you mentioned tusk and a couple of other mons consistently deals with it before it sets up Like in sun with band, stuff like Glowking with Chilly Reception and Knock off spammers who can bother it, as well as hazard spam
Easy It Is a past paradox so It has High btst and can incredebly benefit from sun, both busting his stab and One of its stats, It has dragon dance, and Fire dragon Is One of best type that dragon could have, It takes neutral damage from ICE, Fairy, water which It does nothing if It Is under sun, 4x grass, bug, Fire, 2x Electric It Is super effective on ICE, dragon, bug, grass, steel , dragon
Everybody gangsta until Gouging Fire pulls up in gen 4 Ubers and starts outragin'
Mence and garchomp in shambles
2:55 115 base attack being below average is just a classic gen 9 moment
115 attack is still great, but yea compared to gen 9 threats it is on the lower side

Base 115 has been below average since like gen 7

But does it have a niche in gen 4 ubers?
Shuca berry gouging fire is able to counter eruption camerupt, one of the meta defining threats in gen 4 ubers

It didn't paradox forms aren't really from the past the machine merely shows what we think is the past/future
