>Base 43 Speed
>be jogging and shit>ACK!>literal bear trap fucking bug rips my foot off
>>57184934Vikavolt looks fucking weird with the wings closed
>>57184934Gen 7 mons are slow in general for some reason
>>57184947This happened to my buddy
>>57184961i see he got a foot in the game tok huh
>>57184960>Decidueye: 70 speed>Incineroar: 60 speed>Primarina: 60 speedwtf
>>57184960trick room
>>57184934But he learns agility!
>>57184973Kek
>>57184934Imagine seeing this 5 foot beetle just skittering along, what would you even do?
>>57184960because it's the weather is hot dumbass it's a vacation generation it's literally a GameFreak meme that your are too stupid to get 10 years later
>>57185050walk away from it
They gave this fucker 70 atk it can barely fucking use and 43 speed it likewise can barely fucking use, early game bug moment
>>57185050turn 360 degrees and walk away
>>57185142>360ANon, NOOOOOO0OOOOOO
>>57184934le buge
>>57185142Hea Hea shamone
>>57184960Ho'onanea, brudda. Relax.
>>57185019>still no ability that sets it upif weather can get that + like 3 extra abilities to synergize with it. trick room can at least get 1 shitmon with the ability to set it up
>>57185019Not slow enough to actually utilize Trick Room properly, they get the worst of both worlds.
>>57184934I've always thought of Speed as like, combat speed or some shit. Like how Purugly has great speed, but not because it can run around at the speed of sound, it just has absurd reflexes and flexibility. Vikavolt is fucking fast once it gets moving, but Arceus help you if you want it to turn around or manoeuvre, and in the confines of a battle, it will rarely if ever get the opportunity to get in a straightaway.
>>57184934Give it Speed Boost, and MAYBE it will be usable.
>>57184934>base 45 speed my only reason for why everything's so slow in alola is cause it's so laid back
I don't think I've ever seen Vikavolt not flying and just walking around, that's weird as hell.
>>57184934Is it weird that I think Vikavolt looks like a friendly lil' guy (well big guy actually but you get what I mean) here? Like even with those giant mandibles he just looks very polite and just minding his own business.
>>57185432Nah, it's just the fact that there's outright multiple groups, all involved in designing a Pokemon in some shape or form (appearance designers, Pokedex writers, game designers, etc.) straight up do not communicate with each other.For example, it's why Umbreon's Gold entry mentions its poisonous sweat, because the dex writers weren't told the game designers changed it from Poison to Dark.
>>57185083the fastest athletes are from tropical placesthe fastest animal too
>>57185499that sir is a plant
>>57184960It’s a calm island adventure. The only one who can’t relax is the tall foreign white girl who doesn’t want to touch filthy natives and amerifats (Pheromosa).
>>57185426>too slow normally>too fast for trick roomtruly the shitting speed bracket to be in, part of the reason Dusknoir is ass because that 20 stat boost in speed does fuck all for him and is just wasted points.
>>57184982At least Decidueye should have had 100 Speed. The Incineroar 80 Speed. Primarina at best 70.
>>57184960Alola was annexed by KANTO, and there was a law where Alolans had to step to th side when a KANTOnian was walking past them. Alolan Pokémon being so slow is a refence to that
>>57185557Did you think it just had legs for fun?
>>57184934imagine him pinching off of BBC with those things
>>57188333To be fair to that anon, he's usually depicted as flying in the games and with his wings out.
>>57184934it's wild how much VIkavolt's demeanor changes simply by having the wings open or closed. I mean just look at this and compare it to the OP image
>>57185627gen 7 has the 151 speed freak pheromosa
>make an Owl Starter>base it's final evo off an archer>is instead a defensivewall for some reasonAt least Decidueye has a cool shiny.
>>57189574Sounds like I should set up screens with him before I fight.Was the Hisuan version at least fun to use?
>>57187008>80 speed IncinThe first Pokemon to achieve a >100% usage rate.
>>57189809His signature move is insanely OP, not Dire Claw level but close. Doesn't matter in PLA since the only stuff you'll have trouble with are ghosts (no abilities so no Scrappy) and when you get gang banged by 3-4 Alphas
>>57184934it still hurts
>>57189340is it possible to see closed elytra in the games?
>>57190502I don't think so, I'm pretty sure Vikavolt is perpetually flying in the games
>>57187008Yeah Incineroar deserves a buff
>>57190900Well he levitates, duh
>>57185412
>>57184934You know it wouldn't be as biting if it wasn't SLOWER than Grubbin
>>57184960Island time brother.
>>57190933カイロスめ!
>>57184960Aslowla
>>57185133But you can't even get Vikavolt until the mid-game, half-way through the third island.
>>57185432Yes its basically confirmed its not running speed but reaction time.
>>57184960Before they gave up and decided to embrace the powercreep fully
