>the anime has used spear and shield imagery for Rampardos (another Mold Breaker mon) and BastiodonIs that why Mega Emboar has Mold Breaker, because it has a spear?
Yes. In Japanese Mold Breaker's name is a pun to "The One Who Makes The First (Sword) Cut"
>>59114707>>59115253>mega embort was made dogshit on purpose for a punlmao, actual humiliation ritual.
>>59114707
>>59114707Should have been Rock/Fighting
>>59115487>should have been an even shittier typeno
>>59114707Mega Emboar’s failing stems from how it distributes its stats.It’s nearly an identical stat distribution to Malamar, but is at least better with it investing more into its usable offense and some in Def. It does not change the fact that you can slap an Assault Vest on Emboar and get 95% the same thing. At least Malamar could get some whack custom ability like auto Trick Room or something.
>>59115494You didn't play the game.
>>59115487>>59115494>>59115576Do you mind clarifying if you’re talking about Rampardos being Rock/Fighting or Mega Emboar being Rock/Fighting?
>>59115560> Mega Emboar’s failing stems from how it distributes its statsand from how its movepool is shallow for the roles it’s supposed to playand from how all its abilities are dogshit and from how it’s still the single ugliest pokemon starter after 16 years of existing and from how its from gen 5
>>59115589yes
>>59115594>Shallow MovepoolBesides Slack Off or broken signature moves, Mega Emboar has pretty much every move it could want. Flare Blitz, Heat Crash, Close Combat, Drain Punch, Earthquake/High Horsepower, Knock Off, Sucker Punch, Wild Charge, Heavy Slam, Iron Head, Poison Jab, Zen Headbutt, Bulk Up, and more.
>>59115380I don’t think Rampardos has it any better considering how everyone always complains that it has mold breaker instead of rock head.
>>59114707>Is that why Mega Emboar has Mold Breaker, because it has a spear?Because of Ogerpon-Hearthflame, Mold Breaker is actually really fucking strong on a competent Fire-type. It opens a whole new way to fuck Heatran but that's the big problem with M-Emboar, it is always going to be just a worse Ogerpon, sure Ogrepon needs to hold a specific item but it doesn't take your mega slot
>>59115430A bigger crime was the fucking British bulldog mon that's also a fairy being dexcut from Galar somehow.
>>59115589not him but making a starter mega drop its main typing would be pretty cool actually
>>59115253You just made that up.
>>59115253>>59115380かたやぶり means exactly the same thing as in English, using exactly the same metaphor.
>>59114707>Neither pokemon were in Sword and ShieldStill annoyed by that
