>>58983790>gen 3 giga drain (sucks ass)>EGG bombat least it has sleep powder
>>58983895no it wasn't always like that, they made it shit in the demakes because gen 3 is when they started making the games retarded and faggoty
>>58983790>waaah blue suckswhat the fuck were they smoking with bruno?this guy NEVER has a good team

>>58983909>Lvl 50 92+ SpA Goldeen Surf vs. Lvl 59 0 HP / 0 SpD Rhydon: 214-252 (101.4 - 119.4%) -- guaranteed OHKONo idea how to find EV spreads on the CPU's pokemon but lol, lmao even.
>>58984122>zoomies are getting GAPED by brunorumao
>>58984122damn thats a fucking rough look for gen alpha
>>58983963At least they have ways past ghosts
>>58984096leer + tail whip, the devastating combo...
>>58984443randomly 1 shotting your pokemon is one of the more threatening things that happen in battles, especially when you consider how fucking easy later games are.
>>58983790at least he got replaced by Tyranitar or Heracross of all Pokemon in FRLG for the rematch.
>>58984122>as we speak there are zoomers and gen alphas getting CHAMP'd in real timeokay maybe I'll forgive game freak this timemy dick is actually diamonds
>>58984588>heracross>no brick break, fucking COUNTERgod damn it blue
>>58983790AIIIIIEEEEESPARE ME POLIWAG-SAMA
>>58983935>gen 3 giga drainTo be fair, what else was it going to use? Grass types didn't have shit back then, the only options inbetween giga drain and solarbeam were petal dance(shit move with bad distribution) and leaf blade(sceptile exclusive)
>>58984569Nobody is using a mon with 39 speed at the champion fight. You don't even know how the game works, retard.
>>58984623source
>>58985000>Mons that are slowerSlowbro would survive literally anything Rhydon throws at it and then Surf it to deathSnorlax would definitely survive and through TMs like Earthquake, Brick Break or even fucking Blizzard or Water Pulse still curb itRhydon lives a miserable fucking existence
>>58985006https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/106344829here ya go
>>58985031thought it was a cute pic, instead it's obscene and they fuck
>>58983790>Rhydon uses Scary Face>Still gets outspeeded the next turm if it hasn't ben OHKO'd by surf before it got the attack off.
>>58985063>chooses scary face, dies>chooses earthquake dies before it can use it>chooses rock tomb, misses and then dies>chooses take down, misses and dies, and if it somehow lives to use it probably dies from recoilall of which are the best case scenarios if not facing an electric typefucking agony
>>58984125As far as I know, EVs were not a thing on trainers in the main campaign until way later.At best they had good IVs.
>>58984122These poor bastards are not ready for Emerald Tate & Liza
>>58983805The reason why they got rid of Giovanni's Rhydon is because it would overlap with Blue's Rhydon that he has in his first champion fight.Funnily enough the same problem happens with Karen in Stadium 2 and Blaine in gen 2 / gen 4 remake.
>>58983816>>not horn drill>>not fissurethis is so much worse??
>>58985079>one of the strongest pokemon>dies to everythingyou make it sound like rhydon is the problem, keep in mind that people didn't have all pokemon knowledge when they battle him, they also are restricted by level up moves plus maybe a TM
>>58984569Horn drill only works against slower targets in gen 1. You know what outspeeds a rhydon? Almost fucking everything including your non-evolved starter and mons like nidoran, ekans, farfetch'd, a fucking caterpie...There's like 3 fully evolved mons slower than a rhydon, and even then nobody would piss their pants at a move with accuracy lower than 30%
>>58985449Yeah, Dugtrio is the best Fissure user in game for that reason. I used one in playing Stadium recently and although I usually only clicked on it occasionally, it sometimes pulled through and won me matches I would have otherwise lost. Always a gamble, but I suspect Giovanni invented it because he knows how fun it can be
Rhydon just really needs some love that it hasn't gotten in quite some time.It's had both Rock Head and Reckless forever, but up till recently the only recoil move it had access to was the terrible Take Down (you needed to transfer Double-Edge from a Gen 1 game). More recently it's gotten Wild Charge but it still doesn't have access to Head Smash nor is there a Ground-type recoil move that it can take advantage of. Likewise Lightning Rod has very little synergy with it. The special attack boost does nothing to help it's abysmal SpA, and the immunity that Lightning Rod (now) gives also goes unused.Give this thing some moves or some better abilities or both. Solid Rock on a mon that can use Eviolite would be pretty kino...
>>58983790I only battle with single frail Fire types. So yes.
>>58985627>Wild ChargeYou mean Supercell Slam.For this basic error, Eviolite will no longer works on Rhydon.
>>58986192Rhydon... I failed you...
>>58983816scary face AND rock tomb
