Xad posted:Is there anything you can do for most Pokemon with a 4x weakness that isn't "don't send them out against an x-type pokemon"? most typings can be avoided but water is probably one of the most ubiquitous ones. having a 4x weakness to water is almost a death sentence in and of itself. mostly I did the calculation because I wanted to see if magcargo could survive the worst fully evolved water type pokemon. but you're right it was weird to focus on a single 4x weakness when magcargo has a host of other awful weaknesses. although if magcargo had offensively-oriented stats it could be interesting, it's just awful to have defensive stats with a really bad defensive typing combo Zoness fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Dr. Fetus posted:Ice type Pokemon were never really Dragon slayers though. Dragons usually had a fairly diverse movepool that could easily take down most of them. Dragon types feared Ice type moves since Pokemon that couldn't get taken down by them so easily could carry them. Ice didn't even resist Dragon type moves. hi mamoswine here, and i've killed more dragons than the protagonist of skyrim also sub/roost/dragon tail/iron head kyurem-B was one of my favorite sets when that was legal in UU Zoness fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Aug 26, 2016 |

on the other hand arceus water has to compete with like at least 5 arceus formes that are as about as good if not better. although arceus-water was probably top 3 arceus forms before primal groudon became the king of ubers? i think extreme killer has always been one of the best ones, but my personal favorite is arceus-rock.

milotic is cool because marvel scale is a neat ability but when it comes down to utility and bulk for a water type with reliable recovery she just falls short of that of vaporeon, gastrodon, jellicent, or even quagsire (for unaware) which is unfortunate also competitive is cool to punish defog/intimidate users

the only thing that comes close to redeeming probopass is that it can run a FEAR set, the true terror of battle spot for teams without fake out.

actually i much prefer to this discourse on bad pokemon to any talk about how fanfiction doesn't delibird hurt you with presents though. that seems not so good. edit: I looked up what present does and it has a chance to heal the target. Ok that's kind of on theme, but I'm not sure what that says about how delibird sees our interaction.

Countblanc posted:not commenting on these particular ones (esp Conkeldurr who is Buffo the Clown but in a video game instead of irl), but for me i learn to love a lot of mons by using them. i honestly hated a lot of mons like Latias, Ferrothorn, the Genies, Mandibuzz, and Cobalion until I used them to clobber people, and now I think they're the bee's knees. similarly I used to think Gliscor was the baddest motherfucker in the world and now I wouldn't shed a tear if his source code mysteriously vanished from Game Freak's computers in a freak accident. on latias, ferrothorn, mandibuzz, cobalion, and gliscordo not agree on thundurus though. also actually using the pokemon made me really appreciate dialga and palkia

i actually really dislike knock off because it's such a stupidly safe move to just spam like the only things that really come close to punishing knock off are justified pokemon but terrakion losing its life orb or choice scarf does kinda hurt, just another reason I miss mega lucario
