Should Steelix have been a sidegrade evo, like Scizor, by buffing Onix to have a matching BST?
>>56105313If anything, Game Freak should have just let Scizor have a higher BST, it’s an evolution for fuck sake, or were they afraid that the generation they got stuck with 7 babies, Delibird and fucking Unown would be too strong
>>56105313no because Onix was a fucking shitmon with a sub-400 bst, not a reasonable 500. I agree scizor should have gotten a buff from scizor too, even a small one
>>56105313makes no sense for Onix to be 45 and Excadrill to be 135
>>56105361well OP did say "by buffing Onix to have a matching BST"
>>56105313>a sidegrade evo, like ScizorWhat's the reason to use Scyther over Scizor?
>>56105319Just give scizor +20 speed.
>>56105313All onix needs (if they dont want to change its stats) is the move from PLA that shifts its Defensive stats with offensive,

>>56105865Spending one turn to become Rampardos, a Pokemon that already sucks ass? Sure buddy
>>56105898Cool. I don't like Rampardos I like Steelix.
