>Gen 3>Pre-Evos are ass and unfun to level, basically the designated Exp Share holder for 20 levels>by the time you get it you have like 5 fights left in the game>It doesn't learn a single good Dragon or Ground type move without TMs>Ability does literally nothing for it>Gen 4 >Garchomp is born, completely takes over the game>Fixes the terrible leveling curve and its pre-evos are worth additions to a team>Learns great moves natively, great ability if you want to play around it>Fast forward to gen 6>Garchomp gets a mega, Flygon gets nothing>Fast forward to gen 9>Garchomp gets a 2nd mega
>>58914371
Us flychads are here for the love of the design That said trapinch and vibrava should be ground/bug and this guy should be dragon/bug
>>58914371>I only use TMs on pokemon that already learn the movesWeird
Flygon is just one of those pokemon that still has a strong fanbase, high spots in polls and lots of fanart, even if it doesn't get that much
>>58914371>cleanest card has its description hidden in an e reader strip and is stuck in a starter deckjustice for flygon
>>58914371>Flygon is bad in gen 3What the fuck am I reading? It's pretty much your best option for Crunch since Sharpedo is stuck with an abysmal level up movepool
>>58914371>>Learns great moves natively, great ability if you want to play around itlol what? Garchomp’s level up movepool is and always has been ass. Dragon Claw is the only decent thing it gets. It’s better than Flygon because you get Earthquake in the same cave where you obtain Gible. >>58914635>need Surf to obtain it in the first place>get Ice Beam at the exact same time, and can get another at the game cornerSharpedo really doesn’t have an issue with moves, despite the abysmal level up. You have everything you need on it the moment you capture it.
>>58914398>>58914416>flygon is a primary ground type pokemon that has had connection with sands, the desert and ground since its first introduction back in gen 3>HUR DUR IT SHOULD BE DRAGON/BUG BECAUSE IAMERIMUTTS THINK ANTLIONS ARE DRAGONFLIES XDfake-flygonfans are worse than flygon haters.
>>58914371Trapinch is a better design. Imagine being weaker than your pre evo with Sheer Force
>>58914902feraligatarsisters…
>>58914895>connection with the ground>levitate?>hurrrrrrr it fliesBeldum and Metang levitate but get raped by an earthquake who gives a fuck
>>58914911>sand sprit is immune to ground based damage since he’s the master of itsound like good design to me
>>58914902both good
I wish flygon got a paradox formThose are kinda cool
>>58914931>I wish my bro got replaced by a ugly caveman or a generic boring robotcuck mentality
>>58914927Trapinch better
>>58914942>replaced?
>>58914635>It's pretty much your best option for Crunchlevitate is a useless ability as a ground dragon trying to make it a flying dragon which already exist with additional ability. dragon claw was a really cool looking new move and they only gave it dragon breath unless you wasted a dragon claw TM on it. trapinch is ridiculously slow, and everyone got a stigma against it due to its arena trap ability as a wild encounter. and the one tm earthquake you get easily goes to metagross. b-b-but level 91 lionne pickup in emerald stfu. and of course, swampert and groudon exists to cover the ground type. b-b-but crunch through the elite 4 rayquaza comes with that and is also a green dragon. they didn't treat flygon kindly at all. even the tornado lizard in golden sun and dragons in 7th dragon and breath of fire are more remembered. go big or go home. :/
>>58915041Just use the tm
flygon should be ground/bug/flying/dragonit should be the FDR of pokemon and get 4 types while everyone else is stuck with 2
>>58915211Thats just jade cocoon
>>58914371>Flycucks pretend they want a mega because it gives them attention>They actually dont want a mega because it's going to be complete shit, NOT a bug type and they will lose all ability to bitch and moan for free (You)sI hope you guys get your monkey paw
>>58914371after the toiletgator incidentwanting a mega became a taboo
I like flygon because the idea of a flying desert drone synth is cool and the visual design is neat, mystic pokemon indeedonly deeply flawed people care about competitive viabilitynumbers can't make me feel anything
I just like it for the sexo
>>58915202Thats the point. Its not even a good game progression mon to warrant that. Earthquake is just 10pp. And the whole point of dragons half fire water res got watered down by ground dragon taking full 1x damage from water if ice wasn't enough. Even dragon dance was reserved for salamance, rayquaza and co while flygon didn't even get any fans and was deserted. Whats the point if its going to face dragons and water and ice in matches and gets bodied.
>>58915261>numbers can't make me feel anythingWhats this battle frontier and secret base battles-ack!
>>58915277It, like nearly every other pokemon in existence, is more than strong enough for in-game. Most pokemon will never be good in competitive formats so I don't get why people care so much about flygon being bad in particular.
>>58915277the fuck are you talking about flygon is one of the dragons with the most fans and 3rd most popular hoenn pokemon
>>58914371Flygon did get something, it became one of Hatsune Miku's official Pokemon.
>>58914371>>58915041Levitate is far from useless. It's a free 3rd defensive typing. Nothing hates having complete Ground immunity and spikes immunity. Even Garchomp has to think twice about switching in on 3 layers of spikes and can still be hit by opposing Earthquakes which will still do heavy neutral damage. Flygon just ignores all of that despite the same typing.
>>58914635Are you retardedSharpedo is one of the best Crunch users in gen 3 proper, it has 95 special attack and Crunch was only special in gen 3. Basically the only Pokemon that can even deal good damage with Dark type moves. If you wanted water type moves, it was easy to teach it Surf and Waterfall too immediately after obtaining it, because it will already know Crunch 9 times out of 10.Trapinch did fuck all with Crunch
>>58915302>its strong enoughderpy flygon is not enough when you have cradily and armaldo in the same area. also what is team aqua, what is kyroge, what is groudon using solar beam against a now grass is 1x effective mon and its on every groudon, the more you think about behind the scenes and how it influenced even regular gameplay the more annoyed you get with 3rd gen squandering. even the rushed gens before it are not as post completion offensive. this was after the era where they saw a few extra bytes and shoved in mew, and saw the possibility of game boy color and redid kanto. I don't see crystal as necessary but emerald was necessary after ruby and sapphire and they still messed it up. teehee we made berries not grow after 366 days of playtime in ruby and sapphire please have someone with a copy of emerald to patch your game instead of a recall fuuuuuuuuuuuck whoever rushed these devs>Most pokemon will never be good in competitive formatsyeeeeah it was created to be battle factory fodder with how little care they gave>>58915302>I don't get why people care so much about flygon being bad in particular.sand veil was a given ability in the tcg and it never learns it. everyone outside of the actual game designers gave it tender loving care TLC. hey look heres this sand tomb with a 70% accuracy and it doesn't learn mud slap except in a stupid location or even mud shot. this ground god dragon learnt jackshit. dig? 30 damage spread across two turns? are you kidding me? fuuuuuuuuuuuck whoever rushed these devs
>>58914371>Both Garchomp and Zygarde got multiple new forms before Flygon got oneLmao Flycucks are eternal losers
>>58914371Yeah my bad next time I will ask GameFreak and Smogon if I’m allowed to like a Pokemon
>>58915966Youre actually retarded or a zoomzoom. Everything had low power levels in gens 1-3. It’s how these games were balanced to not become total snoozefest stomps like the later gens, where everything has 80-140 base power dual STABs that match your highest attacking stat.
>>58916478and? they didn't even fucking try with this line. the ralts line on the otherhand learns synchronize, allowing you to punish status ailment spammers, and can reach 3rd stage without trade unlike alakazam. the shroomish line learns effect spore, giving it a 10% chance to inflict poison paralysis or sleep, and immediately learns mach punch and absorb to have ultimate exploration via immediate encounter defeat and self sustain. why would anyone add trapinch to the team when those were made available way earlier? they've failed to prop up the trapinch line.
>>58916559Ralts and Kirlia are an absolute pain in the ass to raise too and Breloom doesn’t even learn it’s signature Spore move unless you’re willing to babysit Shroomish until level fifty fucking four. Everything in RSE kinda sucked by today’s standards, singling out Trapinch which at least provided some value once fully evolved (something that cannot be said about A LOT of mons in this game) is retarded.
>>58915316Sand in mikus vagina
>>58916457well now the opposite end of the spectrum is happening. look at the amount of defending going on using its immunity to spikes. if something is almost entirely a single use case and shit otherwise its shit, period.
>>58915966You're so bad.
Why are Pokemon fans so bad at raising their Pocket Monsters?
>>58916870not really depends on the use case
>>58914371and yet it's still better than like 70% of the pokemon>noooo my fav is not a broken shillmon my life is so hard whaaaaaaawhy are flygonfags ao fucking annoying
>my favourite shitmon is uniquely entitled to a mega for my fanfic reasons or somethingpersonally i just want a walrein who turns back into a ball but you dont see me shitting and crying about it
