Why doesnt it have drizzle?
It literally says it in its dex entry:
>Drampa's cells have been invigorated, allowing it to regain its youth. It manipulates the atmosphere to summon storms.
>>
>>59241493
How does this even make sense? If I hatch a Drampa egg it's already old? And it needs a mega stone to look young again?
>>
>>59241528
This too. Retarded they haven’t given it a prevo yet.

>>59241493
Or the rain version of Mega Sol. Or setting up Rain if hit by a move aka Sand Spit rain version. Fuck whoever accepted Berserk remaining.

That's shit. Weather setters need it as the ability to be really good... E.g. opponent expects to outspeed Kingdra, and you swap in Drizzle and now it moves first.

by using rain dance
if you wanted to make a thread about compshittery just say so. You asked why it didn't get drizzle. That's different.

personally I think it's cause berserk is a very undistributed ability only belonging to drampa and a regional variant of a fucking legendary
so they didn't want to "get rid of it" and thus just kept it for the mega, that's a very gamefreak thing to do

And they have Drizzle too, cool. Those are different pokemon. Drampa wasn't given drizzle. That's it. He doesn't "deserve" to have it just because his dex entry says he can make rain appear. He can just use rain dance... if it said something like "rain follows it wherever it goes unerringly" I could see it, but your argument is so stupid. "hurr durr pokemon that do have drizzle also learn rain dance!!!" are you advocating for everything that can learn rain dance to get drizzle wtf lmao

A lot of Pokemon development is sadly disconnected like that. It's all just a bunch of different segmented teams doing their own thing and mashing together an end result, I remember the Frillish/Jellicent designer being upset that it was taken in a "scary" direction with the Ghost typing because of the need for type variety
>>
>>59241809
Drampa having Rain Dance is not a reason for it not having Drizzle. This is proven by other examples. You have cognitive dissonance.
>>
>>59241827
Rain dance doesn't preclude drizzle, no. But that was NEVER the argument, brainlet.
>it can cause rain
That's all it was EVER claimed to do. It can do that with rain dance. Any attempt to extend that into
>THEREFORE, IT SHOULD HAVE DRIZZLE
is an extra step that has absolutely no basis in reality. There's no reason to assume it would.

Why would mons with drizzle having rain dance mean drampa should have drizzle?
>>
>>59241493
Can it even use drizzle effectively? Though keeping berserk was the most boring fucking thing they could’ve done
>>
>>59242102
nobody said that
>>
>>59242120
He just did. One guy said drampa had rain dance and that was how it made sense in the dex entry. Other guy said that the drizzle mons can use rain dance too. How does that mean drampa should have drizzle? how does that contradict what he said at all?
>>
>>59242133
saying that drizzle mons have rain dance doesn't mean saying that having rain dance means getting drizzle, it means that a pokemon knowing rain dance does not exclude it from getting drizzle as an ability and therefore has no reason to be brought up
it's a complete non-sequitor as saying "it has rain dance" is not an answer to the question stated in the OP
>>
>>59242154
OP said it should get drizzle because it can make rain... it can make rain without drizzle. There's no reason it SHOULD have drizzle. Other mons also being able to make rain has absolutely no bearing on it. You would have to read "it can make rain" as "OH IT HAS TO HAVE DRIZZLE THEN" for OP's stance to make any sense at all, which is entirely retarded because it can just use rain dance... to make rain. Other mons having rain dance has nothing to do with that. Other mons having drizzle has nothing to do with that. It's a completely retarded stance.
>>
>>59242217
>a pokemon whose lore is summong storms having a weather ability to summon storms
Is a perfectly reasonable and logical stance to take, especially when the base mon already has Cloud Nine as its HA showcasing its ability to manipulate the weather (and also granting it a niche at that). Yes, it can make rain without Drizzle. So can the other Drizzle mons. Therefore that fact has absolutely zero bearing on whether or not a Pokemon can/should have Drizzle and has zero reason to even be an argument in the first place regardless of what GameFreak's decision was. What is confusing about this to you?

>dex describes the ability as if it’s a noteworthy attribute of the mon
>it isn’t reflected as a noteworthy attribute of the mon in game, as “learning rain dance” has been a mundane movepool addition, given to tons of random mons since its inception

Pretty straightforward
>>
man pokemon fans are so ungrateful, imagine hoping a pokemon designed after a storm cloud gets a storm ability instead of the ability it already has, you should be happy that the toilet bird drooling over you is your weather mon
>>
>>59242297
So true! #ThankYouGameFreak
>>
You'll get question'd on why a storm cloud dragon should have a rain based ability while a 600 BST regular ass steel/dragon bridge Pokemon benefits from rain with an electric version of solar beam that self boosts + an ability that increases defense when struck. Or how Drizzle is the only weather not attached to a mega evolution yet, and snow gets two.

Fucking contrarian ass board.
>>
>>59241652
Mega Sol would be slightly better.
Unmissable Thunders and Hurricanes are things that you can’t tell if they mattered or not until someone uses shit like Fly or something.
1 Turn Solar Beams are always visible and clearly show the impact with much stronger Grass STAB than Energy Ball.
Additionally for Drampa, weakening your Fire moves would harm you vs Steel types due to weakening Fire moves, while Meganium doesn’t have much use for Water moves it can’t use.

I bet you think Raichu should have an ability that lets it KO copperajah just because of its dex entry too when it's clearly just a simple description. Dex entries are a paragraph long man, they can't fit more than a bit at a time. So WHY would a random tiny snippet clearly describing a very basic take: "It can cause storms" automatically make you or OP assume it's an ability? It's such a huge leap in logic. It's retarded.

>>59242279
Aron or Larvitar clearly need a special ability that lets them eat Stealth Rock then, duh. Why would they mention it in the dex if it wasn't uh *checks notes* SPECIFICALLY an Ability the Pokemon has?

Give me a pre-evolution, and to maintain the chinese dragon lore, have it evolve at a very high level or in a special event with Dialga or Celebi.

According to Chinese mythology, a snake transforms into a true dragon in 1000 years. Some stories also say that typhoons are actually newly transformed dragons ascending to the sky, so having a Thundurus or Tornadus on your team could also work to evolve the baby Drampa.

Oh
Rain Mega Sol in that case. Supporting your team is nice, but you can just do that with Pelipper who already has better support options. With Rain Mega Sol, it doesn’t matter if your opponent has Charizard, Torkoal, Ninetales, Tyranitar, Hippowdon, Froslass, Ninetales-A, Abomasnow, Sunny Day, etc. as Drampa would get every benefit of Rain Mega Sol offensively. A Hydro Pump from Modest/Quiet Mega Drampa would deal minimum of 84 to Max bulk Tyranitar
32+ SpA Drampa-Mega Hydro Pump vs. 32 HP / 32+ SpD Tyranitar in Rain: 174-206 (84 - 99.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
With Drizzle, Tyranitar would replace Rain with Sand and you wouldn’t even 2HKO.
32+ SpA Drampa-Mega Hydro Pump vs. 32 HP / 32+ SpD Tyranitar in Sand: 78-94 (37.6 - 45.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

tbf to the other anon, truthful advertisement is a luxury saved for special Pokemon.
Mega Hawlucha was advertised as getting tougher the longer a fight goes on. That would imply Stamina or Moxie or something. An ability that it’d find useful with like Stamina + STAB Body Press.
Instead it got No Guard. An ability it doesn’t actually use itself, but instead has other Pokemon use that ability in a gimmicky strategy.

Autism is, apparently, when you simply tell someone else that he's wrong. Only autistic people ever do that. Clearly.

>>59242517
Drizzle would have also made sense... but it isn't the ONLY way it could have done so. X precludes y, y does not preclude x. The fact that it has Rain Dance is enough to explain the dex entry, there were dozens of threads saying as much here on /vp/ before we knew its ability. The problem is when someone is saying "NO IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! IT HAD TO HAVE THE ABILITY!" when nothing about it needs an ability. Consider what I said here: >>59241776
>if it said something like "rain follows it wherever it goes unerringly" I could see it,

>>59242531
>being btfo is when people keep telling you that you're dumb for not assuming it had to be specifically an ability

>>59242544
There's no L to take man, if you can't see why "it can call storms" doesn't require the ability Drizzle then you're just not thinking about it.

>>59242555
If you look back at the conversation it stems from the very, very basic premise: Why would anyone assume drizzle beyond a reasonanle guess at the ability? It's not incoherent with the lore, it's just fags saying "I wish it got drizzle" but being so retarded that they can't understand that that's different from "it only made sense for it to get drizzle".

So you acknowledge that people just wish it had Drizzle but you're still so autistically obsessed with being "right" that you have to argue it for some reason shouldn't have the ability because it has a move with the same effect?

"It learns rain dance/sunny day" is a poor argument for anything which in lore summons weather since almost everything can learn one or more of those moves. The ability to use those moves isn't notable enough to point out. It would be like saying "It has the power to deflect any attack" because they can learn protect. Hence the power to summon weather should be refering to something other than those common moves.

Everyone who has been replying to this very basic statement with an argument is beyond mentally retarded, entirely moronic, absolutely brainless.
If you PREFER it were to get Drizzle, I get it. But arguing that it should have on the basis that it "made sense" is idiotic. Again, see >>59241714.

>>59243071
please see my rebuttals above. I never even said I disliked the idea, it's everyone arguing WITH me that are beyond retarded. It's like you morons can't grasp that "I want x" and "only x is possible" are 2 different things.

>>59243170
>poor argument
because...?
>notable
>should be
Sounds to me like you WANT it to be the case and are justifying it by making up extra special rules that make it that way. No, dude, it can summon storms. That's what the dex says. How does it summon storms? It uses rain dance. It doesn't need to be "notable" and it "should be" only insofar as you prefer it to be.
>poor argument
very basic parsing of the English language is not a poor argument.

with any argument at all is saying that. You simply cannot argue that it doesn't make sense for rain dance to explain the dex entry without also, by basic, straightforward logic, implying that it has to have drizzle to make sense.
>Why doesn't it have drizzle? It summons storms.
>It has rain dance to summon storms. There's your explanation.
ANY RESPONSE THAT DISAGREES WITH THIS IS SAYING THAT IT NEEDS DRIZZLE TO MAKE SENSE. That's genuinely the only possible way to disagree: "No, it having Rain Dance does not explain it summoning storms, it needs Drizzle for it to make sense with that dex entry". Complete lunacy.

>>59243451
Ok whatever I’m not reading all this tard autism. Drizzle does not benefit Drampa why the fuck do you want it to have drizzle? Berserk gives it a niche of being a trick room mon that wants its allies to keep it healthy, drizzle is just pointless

if someone says something absolutely retarded and you tell them, specifically, why they're retarded, and what their retarded response implies? come on man follow this really basic logic ok. Let's use a different ability and a fake mega to make this just a little more fair.
>Why doesnt Mega Sunflora have Drought?
>It literally says it in its dex entry:
>>Sunflora has grown larger or whatever, and it not only faces the sun, but can manipulate the atmosphere to make it sunny.
>[the reason it doesn't need drought to explain that dex entry is] because it can learn sunny day, duh.
>Oh yeah? Well torkoal and ninetales can use sunny day too
>and they have drought too. cool. those are different mons. Sunflora didn't get it. That's it. It doesn't "deserve" it just because its dex says it can make strong sunlight. It can just use Sunny Day... if it said something like "Sunlight seems to follow it wherever it goes" I could see it. blah blah blah
See? Do you not see how it works? The part in brackets was implied, just like how arguing
>hurr durr pokemon with drought can also learn sunny day
wouldn't have any effect on whether or not a mon whose dex entry claimed it could make strong sunlight should get drought or not, it's entirely irrelevant.

I honestly have no idea why so many people genuinely were arguing about this. It's such a BASIC premise. It's such a BASIC idea.
>You asked why it didn't get drizzle.
Because it doesn't need it to summon rain! duh!

I agree, a Pokemon having a weather summoning move is completely irrelevant to whether or not it gets a weather summong ability therefore there is no need to bring up Rain Dance in regards to Drampa :)

>>59243647

I think that most people in this thread are exceedingly unintelligent and that, yes, everyone else is the problem. I suspect most don't even understand what the phrase "common denominator" actually means judging by their inability to grasp basic variables!

>What do you not understand?
What do YOU not understand? You asked for receipts for someone SPECIFICALLY telling me that it didn't matter and that they preferred a different option, and that's what I fucking gave you, L-M-F-A-O!

>>59243671
>This pokemon can summon rain. Why doesn't it get drizzle?

that doesn't answer the question and has zero bearing on whether or not a pokemon gets drizzle as has been proven and explained to you many times
>>
>>59243685
>that doesn't answer the question
there is no excuse for this stupidity.
Argument for getting drizzle is that it can summon rain. It can summon rain via rain dance. That's it. I've said this dozens of times in this thread. The question the OP raised was, to restate:
>>59241493
>Why doesnt it have drizzle?
>It literally says it in its dex entry:
>>Drampa's cells have been invigorated, allowing it to regain its youth. It manipulates the atmosphere to summon storms.
and the answer is
>>59241676
>It learns rain dance already stupid
It summons rain. It learns rain dance, which is how it summons rain. It doesn't need drizzle to summon rain. It getting drizzle or not has nothing to do with it getting the move rain dance, but EITHER ONE explains why it summons rain. Which is why it answers the OP question: If it summons rain, why doesn't it have drizzle? The answer is that it uses rain dance. This is basic english.
>>
>>59243697
It getting Rain Dance is not an explanation for it not getting Drizzle as other Drizzle mons also have Rain Dance. It's just a fact of it having Rain Dance as a move which, great, many mons do. Not once has anybody asked the question
>HOW does Drampa summon storms
which is what you seems to be eluding you so much
>>
>>59243710
the op post says:
>>59241493
>Why doesnt it have drizzle?
>It literally says it in its dex entry:
>>Drampa's cells have been invigorated, allowing it to regain its youth. It manipulates the atmosphere to summon storms
His questions is that if drampa can summon storms, why doesn't it have drizzle? The obvious answer: it doesn't need drizzle to summon storms, it can use rain dance.
There is absolutely no other way to interpret the OP post.

Okay, it evolves normally at level 80, yeah, a big fuck you for the average trainer, but if you have a Castform on your team, it will evolve immediately.

Pokemon have two evolutions individual evolution and species evolution.
Individual evolution is like metamorphosis.
Species evolution is regional variants diversification.
The young again portion is probably talking about actual evolution similarly to how Magikarp used to be stronger but became weaker.

Mega Sol on a Grass type has the notable detail, of smoothing over the awkward issue of Grass types getting assraped by the fire damage increase. A Rain equivalent doesn't have the same niche. There's also the issue that less stuff interacts with Rain that isn't abilities. Thunder and Hurricane are about it.

Because it can Swords Dance!
>>
>>59247009
that's not the same. if you had a dex entry that said "this pokemon is known for dancing with its weapons" and there was also an ability from several gens back called "dancing blades" alongside swords dance, nobody should find it odd that that mon doesn't have that ability if it still at least had swords dance; it explains the dex entry perfectly.
