Personally I'm saltiest about the snail dragon evolving into a purple Dragonite w/ a snot beard.

I LOVE Goomy and Sliggoo and I want to love Goodra too but that snot beard grosses me out hard. Maybe that's why it oozes gooey tears when it's alone? I feel bad for it :(

Sligoo is awesome but Goodra is ugly and dumb.

Its another pokemon that got a creepy pokedex entry this gen though;

Yup! I really don't hate Dragonite's look, I just dislike that it turns from a sleek blue serpent into that, it doesn't fit at all.

There's a Korean legend about a sea snake that catches a jewel and turns into a true dragon or something. It's pretty neat

What we need is a champion-champion

Elite 4 comprised of other region champions and then led by one

That might not be a bad Elite 4, but some of them would need a type. I think only Lance, Steven, and Wallace have a type dedicated to them? And that'd be two gen 3 champions and let's be honest nobody loving liked Gen 3, especially not the League.

So I'm not looking at any like super epic online team, just not one that is obviously horrid.

I have an alolan Raichu and Sandslash, a salazzle, a decidueye and a wimpod I'm going to evolve for water stuff.

I was thinking either a rock type (rock ruff or rogganrolla) or I caught a bagon that's now a Shelgon but is there any obvious gaps here?

Wallace can go get hosed though there was no reason for Emerald to strip the title from Steven.

a bit late but my main complaint about tapu fini is that it desperately wants some form of recover, because it has an amazing support moveset and typing but is very vulnerable to getting worn down.

this complaint extends to most bulky water pokemon on the alolan pokedex, except toxapex, because gently caress toxapex.

I guess Vaporeon and Gastrodon are still around but they dont seem to hold up to this generation's power creep.

I was skeptical about disable but combining it with protect can usually work pretty well.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-499933910

Have had a good number of games go like that one after using disable. When they are down to two pokemon and can't switch out it can really gently caress them over. Would probably do better with the Encore/Fake Out set but this will work until bank is open.

Meanwhile Arcanine continues to baffle me with its movepool. It gets helping hand too? Sure why not.

EDIT: Also maybe its just the games I've gotten but I've been seeing way less Gyarados and way more Arcanine. Might be because there are a lot more Gastrodons being used.

Eh, Iris and Alder both only have half their teams being one type. Steven too. Unlike Wallace and Lance, who are all-water and all-flying.

Though I guess you could say Steven's theme is Steel/Rock, and Iris's is Dragon/Dinosaur.

It's not like Steven doesn't end up being the final boss anyway, it's just easily missable and there's just not much pay off to it (and no proper way to bridge the level gap between Wallace and Steven in Emerald).
