Octillery is, dude. Didn't you ever play Wooper's Adventure?

Anon, they don't care about it being true lorewise, all they care about it being broken. Look at Mega Heatran stats and it's typing.

It's a Pokémon with INSANE stats that would make any special attacker blush in embarrassment with that bulk. However, it's typing gave it an Achille's Heel. 4x weakness to ground is very rough since everyone and their mother carry earthquake. People want it to have earth eater, to not only get rid of it's weakness, but to also give it a way to heal itself in battle. This leave it with only to 2 weakness, fighting and water, with water going to be on the weaker side since it had an increase to it's Special defense. Those guys just want to watch the world burn.

>true lorewise
yeah why would the pokemon associated with the molten core of the earth itself, that also gained a gigantic fucking gaping mouth when it mega-evolved, gain an ability related to consuming soil and turning it into its own body. And for that matter, why would it be thematic or consistent for a legendary pokemon with an immunity-granting ability to keep an immunity-granting ability on mega-evolution.

You're right, this is Game Freak so I'm sure it'll get Mold Breaker or Trace.

It absolutely makes sense for it to have Earth Eater. It makes more sense than Trace Meowstic or No Guard Hawlucha.

That gaping mouth isn't even closing. Look at that mouth again, it's melting to the point it's dripping off.

You can eat without closing your mouth. Some animals actually do that too.

>No Guard Hawlucha.
How can you guard from flying press?
>>
>>59254064
Block high.
Mega Hawlucha should have gotten Stamina. The ads were all talking about how Mega Hawlucha gets tougher as a match goes on, and No Guard is the exact opposite of getting tougher. It literally makes you more vulnerable.

>>59254145
Hawlucha has shit hp and defenses, Stamina wouldn't have helped at all.
>>
>>59254145
It's literally strong and fast enough to one-shot half the roster
>>
>>59254455
its mega made it bulkier man
>>
>>59254455
It has 78 HP and 100 Def, and most importantly Roost AND Body Press.
If you want to KO it physically, you need to Crit/Unaware through it or KO it the first hit. And while that is going on, Hawlucha is hitting you with increasingly stronger Body Presses. If it gets too low, Hawlucha can Roost up and reset your progress. And also Hawlucha gets Encore too, so it can Encore lock you into a move it resists and get easy Stamina boosts that way. AND in Doubles, you can use a partner with Bullet Seed or Beat Up to give you instant +4 Def.

137 Atk for a Mega is pretty low and its speed isn’t that impressive any more.
No Guard is shit on Hawlucha since its least accurate moves are Focus Blast and Mega Kick, followed by Stone Edge and Cross Chop.
It has very little practical usecases for No Guard, since the moves themselves don’t benefit Hawlucha or Hawlucha has an accurate move like Close Combat or Brave Bird already.
In return, every Hurricane, Blizzard, Thunder, Fire Blast, Hydro Pump, Hypnosis, etc. always hits Hawlucha.
The one saving grace of No Guard is gimmicky Entrainment set where you give a partner No Guard to hit the opponent with Sheer Cold or other inaccurate moves.

HJK, Hawlucha doesn't use Close Combat
>>
>>59254715
>HJK, Hawlucha doesn't use Close Combat
You'd still get fucked by protect
>>
>>59254715
That’s what I mean.
You’d better off with a different ability (besides the hindering and nothing abilities) + Close Combat instead of HJK + No Guard. HJK still crashes if the opponent protects or switches to a Ghost type, and is only 10 BP stronger than HJK.
And honestly even Reckless would be better for HJK. All No Guard does is increase accuracy of HJK to 100%, which is only 1% more than Wide Lens. Meanwhile Reckless would give HJK and Brave Bird a lot of damage output. Damage output it’d always see since Accuracy is still luck based and every time you hit could have happened anyways.
