It has the best mons, the best moves in the series, it's simply the best. If you lived in the world of Pokemon and were a gym leader, you'd be stupid for picking anything but Ground.

Fire/Ground, Grass/Ground, and Water/Ground is such a synergistic combo. Back in Gen 7 I would use this setup to get good monotype streaks in the Battle Tree. I'd probably do even better now with Toedscruel as a option to Torterra. Camerupt remains the weakest link though. It's stat total is just too low. The mega helped but what we really need is a Fire/Ground starter!
>>
Excadrill is my favorite pokemon so i tend to agree

Ghost is also pretty great

Ghost is definitely one of the top types. It would definitely be in my top 5, maybe even in my top 3.
>>
>>56870440
You know it. Ground monotype is by far my favorite to play. Can't find a ground type I actually dislike.
>>56876224
Yeah I'm really hoping to get a new Ground/Fire the next game. Primal Groudon and mega Camerupt are both some of the most fun pokemon in the game

Let's do a little exercise.
1. Claim a Ground Pokemon
2. Give it access to a move or ability it doesn't have access to
3. No inventing or improving, just vanilla stuff. You can replace extant abilities.

Sucker punch for Krookodile. It fits nicely I think. Figured he didn't get it because they thought he'd be too powerful with moxie. Also swords dance Mamoswine would be pretty absurd and fun to use.

That makes a ton of sense for Krook. Especially since it's just "surprise attack" in Japanese and its Pokedex talk about it lying patiently beneath the sand in order to ambush it's prey.

Tough Claws or Sharpness?
The former gives you a 30% boost on all contact moves, the latter a 50% boost on, notably, Aerial Ace, Slash, Night Slash, and X-Scissor.

tough claws
huge fucking claws make that a no-brainer
sharpness is fine too but not that many of its often used moves have the necessary flag and I wanna save another ability slot for rough skin

Don't care, Golemniggers would die to surf if it was mono-rock.

>>56877989
its not about power, its about coolness
power is all groundtypefags care about. thats why you are so boring.

cool rock pokemons:
>every gen 1 rock that isn't half ground
>every gen 2 rock that isn't half ground
>every gen 3 pokemon
>etc
its easier to count the non-cool rock types. meanwhile ground type only has what? flygon is meh, sandsraw is boring untill it became ice, diglett is double meh, cubone is a meme, swinub line is cute but not cool. sure you got nidos, steelix and a few others but mostly its the gap with other typing that gave ground halfs their coolness.

sandslah coolness is being held back by ground type. look how much cooler it became when going ice.
donphan is generic and meh. you can't seriously tell me that tiremon is cool.
flygon is cute maybe, but not cool.
groudon is cool, ok, gen 3 is good designs in general.
excadrill is stupid.
rhydon is rock when any other rock in its gen is also rockground. its why i said ground type made rock boring.
gliscor is cool because it looks like poison type, which is a cool type.
krook is another stupid pokemon. the ground type is preventing the coolness of the darktype from shining.
landrous is a lot of things, but its only cool if you think power = cool.
not gonna go into paradoxmons.
ursaluna is less cool than its prevo. it looks stronger but is less cool.
steelix is carried by its steel type.
swampert is not cool. its goofy.
mamoswine is another goofy one. at least pilloswine was cute.
so really all you have are groudon, garchomp, zygarde and steelix.

ground type is boring. ground types need a cool type like steel, dragon or poison to shine.
>>
Correct
>>
>>56878208
Not only is Rock actually boring (unlike Ground), it's shit on top of that. Not a single Pokemon ever created has ever been made cooler or better by including the Rock typing, it is legitimately the worst type in the game in every way. They even created the Steel type just to rub it in that little bit more. No one has ever gone against a Flying or Fire type and thought "man, if only I was using a Rock type right now." Aggron literally drops the shitty Rock typing to get stronger in it's mega evolution because it's that ass.

Speaking of, I think Shore Up makes a lot of sense for Wormadam-Sandy, since it means "sand gather" in Japanese. This isn't going to change anything for our little dame, but essentially give it an equivalence to Synthesis on Wormadam-Plant.

Like come on Gamefreak, there has never been an new ability more perfectly suited for a extant Pokemon that doesn't have it.

>f you lived in the world of Pokemon and were a gym leader, you'd be stupid for picking anything but Ground.
actually I'd pick either fire, grass or ice, because those are comfy types.

Wait, would we be able to choose?

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Head Smash for the Rhyhorn line. Like, why the fuck does this thing get almost no recoil moves, let alone STAB recoil moves???
