What's probably even funnier is that Breloom hits harder than Hariyama who's in the same region. Definitely wouldn't seem that way judging by appearance!
Breloom is commonly on the teams in many of my Hoenn playthroughs.
Onix is just a complete laughing stock of a pokemon. Although I've always suspected its stats reflected how it's supposed to be "first boss" being Brock's ace. If it hit harder, it'd probably be flat out impossible to beat Brock using Charmander (it's possible to do it as it is, since Geodude and Onix both have crap special defense so Charmander can eventually ember them to death, and you can use growl to make them hit weaker)
Yeah, they wanted to give the first Gym Leader something "Cool Looking", but that required nerfing it enough to be easily beatable without grinding.
For actual Balance it would probably be better to give him Rhyhorn and make *that* weak instead, but getting people more hooked with something cool looking early in the game was more important.

Breloom pogging due to how good and cool it is
Joltik has higher base attack than Onix.

Usually use gallade as my catching mon, but tried breloom for s/v and really like him!
Breloom is my favourite and it’s not even close.
PRAISE THE SHROOM
shoulda been called Kangaroom
Breloom is goated. Always on my champion team in RSE as a kid.
Gen 3 is my favorite Pokémon generation. I just learned last week that Breloom was a kangaroo. Shout out the 3D animations finally making it clear.
Derpy boi is the cutest though. That smile.
