Played my first match on Pokémon Showdown and won it! :3:

Florges owns, Mega Aerodactyl owns, Pangoro doesn't precisely own but is at least reasonably good, having Stealth Rock and Spikes on two pokemon with shared weaknesses is kind of questionable in retrospect and I probably want to at least run Explosion on Forretress! :toot:

wow, 100 percent win rate, never battle again so you can keep being the best

I just read its pokedex entry and apparently Breloom doesn't beat its opponents to death with its tiny little stub arms, but actually stretches them??? this is loving bullshit

All the best octopodes shoot fire and ice.
There was a 2D indie Pokemon fighting game called Pokemon Type Wild that used Breloom like this.

Example, I couldn't find a video without commentary.


EDIT: Found one without commentary. They use the player 2 color, which is not the shiny color for Breloom, but it should be.

Breloom is my #1 favorite Pokemon and its stretchy punchy arms are just one of many reasons. He is the Monkey D. Luffy of Pokemon.

Has there ever been a good Breloom fight in the anime? He should get his own movie.

Breloom is my favorite too but a large part of that was picturing it punching things with stubby, non-stretching arms

Protagonists lose to idiot jobbers all the time, esp. if its their first encounter.

Raditz killed Goku and he was so weak they could grow tiny little aliens who were stronger. Also Yamcha beat Goku.

Raditz didn't kill Goku, Piccolo killed Goku, finally fulfilling his promise to his dead father, and then proceeded to kidnap Goku's son and become a better dad for him than Goku ever was.

Yamcha also didn't beat Goku, he had to run away the moment he saw a girl, and Goku was starving at the time. The moment Goku ate, Yamcha took his rightful place as someone who gets beaten up repeatedly.

I recently finished a new playthrough on Blue and got a weird team going since I wanted to raise pokemon I've never used before. Got Raticate, Wigglytuff, Lickitung, Persian, Tauros, and Dewgong.

It was a surprisingly effective team. Also Pokemon Stadium 2 is still the superior way in playing those games with my near infinite supply of TMs and stat boosting drugs.

There's few surprises there. Tauros was the best Pokemon without Mew in it's name in Gen I, and Persian wasn't too far behind.

Body Slam/Earthquake/Blizzard/Hyper Beam Taurus was the most terrifying non-Ubers set in RBY back in the day. He had no real counters whatsoever. Maybe Starmie, but barely.

He had a few checks. Cloyster and Snorlax could do a reasonably okay job of handling him.
