>>56211398What does Sinistcha taste like?
>>56211400Very bitter, like sencha steeped too hot
>>56211400Green Tea potentially. Though not sure if it'll enjoy you drinking it's body fluids
>>56211398>fanfic garbagewhy should I care exactly
>>56211398>Tinkaton above Clefable and HeatranThe way people were talking about this thing over the past year and a half, you’d think it was a total shitmon.
>>56211408Meganium is shit, Yawnfag.
>>56211431It's the same reason why Clefable was good despite being a shitmon by BST definition:>Solid ability that helps it's supportive role>Decent ulitity options for what it's design to do>92 speed with 108 spdef bulk is quite nice>Arguably the best typing in the game>Has a 160 BP move that works as it's chip damage slot move that does sizable damage to some mons even with minimal attack investment+75 base ATK.Once people got over the offensive set memes, which never went anywhere in any tier that was NU above, people realized it's merits that just so happens to thrive now that we have a fuckton of special mons+Gambit to worry about.
What happened in SV that made legendaries just a bunch of terminator parts and pokemon parts slammed together in some sort of unholy amalgamation? That plus the motorcycle dragon really makes me question gamefreak
>>56211448Agreed, I could never play this because I'd have to look at all that hideous bs all the time. Besides like Heatran and Clefable at the bottom. Powercreep just got worse and worse and the new more powerful mons get uglier and more retarded.
>>56211448>>56211605Lol, it's interesting to see the perspective of people like this. I've started to get used to the new pokemon by now, but if you haven't had much exposure to them and you're just checking things out mid generation, it probably all looks surreal.
>>56211700Haha, that's me exactly. I quit and left after SwSh (couldn't even finish it) and slept through everything til now. I don't know if exposure will help in my case, Gen 4 mons still look weird and out of place to me.
>>56211406Women drink my bodily fluids all the time, it's not that weird.
>>56211398>using "viability rankings" instead of actual tiersRemind me again, Tinkatranny, who is in UU and who is in OU?
>>56211883>seething
So like, how do you even use Tinkaton? You'd think the big fuckoff hammer would mean getting a bunch of powerful recoil moves and stuff. I'm a brainlet when it comes to pokemon that aren't just "unga bunga. hit strong and fast."
>>56211398>>56211438>>56211447>>56211605>>56211700>>56211883>>56211941>tranny fanfic formatSmogon viability will NEVER be a good indicator of a Pokemon's strength, no matter how many kids groom.
>>56212224That's nice Yawny. Meganium is still shit though.
The VR is people's opinions. Maybe they're founded in logic and experience and they're made by good players, but they don't reflect overall usage stats. Corv is solidly OU, Tink is UU. Personally I don't expect corv to ever fall, and I don't expect tink to ever rise. I could be wrong of course. Maybe Tinkaton players could be ahead of the curve. But OU is a fucking brutal hellscape, and Tink to me is just a little meme mon who happens to have a good defensive typing and a few tricks up its sleeve that suit the current meta.There's surely room for its niche in the tier, but it's hard for me to imagine it ever being a meta staple.Fun throwback to early SV tink vs corv memes though heheh
>>56212224Except Pokémon is largely single-player and most mons good in Smogon metas above RU will/would also be good in-game.>b-but VGC is doubles!Needing a partner is not a good argument for a (singular) Pokémon's strength.
>>56212224yawn
>>56212996Tink will be better once terasharting gets the axe in gen 10. Assuming Tink doesn't get dexcut
>>56211398
Tinkaton is going back to the basement when Darkrai gets that ass banned.Kyurem, Kingambit, and tera also need to go.
>>56213401I would hate Zamazenta but for the fact that it's the ultimate counter to Kingambit, the most annoying Pokemon ever invented.
>>56213429>Darkrai>Getting bannedUnless Gen 10 doesn't release until late 2025, there won't be enough time for Darkrai to go. Suspect tests have slowed down because tier shifts have slowed down. Darkrai isn't getting suspect tested before Zamazenta, Roaring Moon, Dragonite, Raging Bolt, Iron Valiant, or Dragapult. There's not enough time to suspect all of those.
>>56213889Z*mazenta and Darkrai are the only two realistic suspect candidates out of the ones that you mentioned, and Z*mazenta much more than Darkrai.
>>56213901If Zamazenta goes Kingambit will be even more of a problem than normal.
>>56213889>late 2025Try late 2026. Japanese open world games have ridiculously long development cycles.
>>56211840you should probably stop having sex with vampires and weirdo Victorian era doctors that want your Humours then
>>56213979But my bilious fluid...
>>56213959This is Pokemon we're talking about here. There's no way they're putting that much effort in.
>>562138743 of top 5 are fighting and the KING is still #1
