this was peak ‘mons
>>57194859Shitmon
>>57194859the good stat spreads (for the soul)
Shiftry has a lot to deal with. Plus having Cacturne around.
>shit movesets>shit stat spreads>shit typings (at the time)What the actual fuck were they thinking during Hoenn
>>57194859One of the 60s or 90s should have been 70 to complete the pattern
>tropius still has shitty stats and movepool
>>57194944That they wanted to limit powercreep. Then they stepped on the pedal and haven't stopped.
>>57194944everything else was shit too
>>57194944>those are shit statsYou're bad at games made for children.
>>57194944Which one would you rather a mon to have be better at if you could only choose 1 of those three?
>>57196546movesso many pokemon are held back just by having a shitty movepool
>>57196842Shiftry doesn't have shitty movepool. Fake out, giga drain, nature power, faint attack, dig, shadow ball. It's a great pokemon in game.
>>57196544Why do you say that?Most people could probably beat any Pokémon game with almost any Pokémon.I think the OP was referring to competetive.
SLOW FRAIL MIXED ATTACKERS are worse than minmaxed pokemon
Shiftry at least has Chlorophyll to outspeed and access to pre Gen 4 ExplosionIt's got a pretty solid movepool overall
>>57194944>shit! Everything in Gen 2 is too stally and bulky! >I know! Let's give everything high offenses and frail defenses! That'll fix it.
>>57196392tropius is top tier in randbats
