Show me a shittier stat distribution. I dare you.
why did they give this thing iron fist
>>59544274Most of Johto says hello
>>59544274Samurott has basically the same stats except with higher hp and lower sp def
>>59544280le heckin epic kamen rider referenceit also used to learn several punch moves, comet punch in particular but they ruined that in gen 8they need to just give it a bug/fighting evo
>>59544274Cacturne
>>59544300>le heckin epic kamen rider referenceno retardledian is a pulseman reference
These are good stats yeahBut I think it's shit design philosophy
>>59544329>anything used *priority move*
>>59544332she can learn quick guard
>chop defense in half from when it was a corsola to boost it's attack stat that it has no business usingit still wouldn't even be that good if it's defense was better since it's running off of 60 base hp, but this is just salt in the wound
>>59544850yeah thats a good candidate as well. high base stat total but completely useless
>>59544274>>59544280>>59544850Shit like this is why most pokemon should be minmaxed instead of being mixed attacking shitmons
>>59544274The stat distribution is not the problem.Late game in SM/USUM is so hilariously designed to rapefuck Decidueye that running Eviolite Dartrix is actually a more pleasant experience.
gen 1 krabby/kingler is hilarious.
>>59544850everything about this pokemon's design is downright schizophrenicweak armor with 30 speed and 50 defense?perish body with no trapping moves or redirection for muh doubles?no trick room when every other ghost type gets it?
>>59544850that 145 sp atk is really scary when a poochyenas bite could probably send this thing to hell
>>59544274hoenn ass stats
gen 1 marowak is hilariously bad. there is absolutely no reason to use it over sandslash. not a single base stat is higher than sandslash.
>>59544274I truly don't think it's possible to create a worse stat distribution than this.There are mons with worst stats, but they also have lower BSTs.I can't imagine a worse way to distribute 582 than this.
>>59544274one of those 100s could've went to speed and decidueye would still be considered slow todayracecar by alola standards though
>>59544991>mega malamarwhen the fuck did that happen? looks like a godamn ultra beast
>>59544274Why yes I enjoy gen 3, how could you tell?
>>59545367i can't tell if this is spinda or castform
>>59545374Glalie
>>59545383lol
>>59544850pokemon still think that mixed attackers exist below 600 bst when you have shit like EVs and natures
>>59545404yeah, they really need to revert the phys/spec split
>>59545409they need to revert natures and evs then fix some of the blatant holes in special/physical coverage
>>59545413and revert the phys/spec split
>>59544274>>59544911I had no problem with him in SM>but muh peeveepeeNo one cares.
>>59545367arceus has the same spread
>>59544911You want a Pokemon that REALLY sucks in SM/USUM?>Think Ice/Fighting is a really cool type combo>Drag the slow, frail, and weak Crabrawler through the entirety of Sun until I finally reach the very end of the game and am allowed to evolve it>Gets EVEN SLOWER and adds MORE WEAKNESSES, making it effectively less bulky even if its bulk is technically higher>Gets outsped and OHKO’d by everything before it can even use its huge base attack and good movepoolFuck Crabominable.
>>59544850cursola exists solely to let gcorsola use eviolite
>>59545374Spinda and Castform are even worse.Castform has straight 70s and Spinda 60s
>>59544904The problem with mixed attackers is that there is barely a penalty for switching your Pokémon out. Why waste time having a mixed attacker whittle down an opponent when you could just switch and sweep
>>59545433Having 120 in every stat is a big difference to flat 80s
>>59545465their stats are supposed to be funnyspinda's bst is 360, a full spinand you could say that glalie and castform are rather well-rounded
>>59544991Compare this to Staraptor who got a much better boost and typing. This kind of thing should be called malicious.
>>59545528I'm pretty sure MMalamar was supposed to be a vessel for some bonkers ability that offsets the shit stats, but then the ability got scrapped and they just released it with Contrary, at which it's worse than its base form.
>>59545520i'm talking about distribution, not total. it's still 1/6th of bst in all stats.
>>59545451>he got a mega what's the plan here?
>>59546126Showcase how shit it is, probably.
>>59545404the only good mixed attackers at sub-600 BST are glass cannons or have abilities to boost their speed
>>59544326>mons each can't have more than ONE reference/inspiration!!!kill yourself, idiot
>>59544332She lives through most priority, you'll need at least two hits to put the roach down.
Shitmons are good actually.They serve as a difficulty setting.
>>59544274There are so many frail and slow mixed attackers, even outside of gen 3
>>59545540knowing gamefreak they probably genuinely believe contrary is strong enough to justify those statsthis is the same studio that saddles regigias with slow start while fucks like calyrex-shadow and miraidon get to waltz around freely
>>59547225starters have to be mixed within reason, the game designer needs to guarantee little Timmy can complete the game regardless of moveset
>>59544274>Show me a shittier stat distribution. I dare you.OP's genepool
>>59547336Not even gamefreak believes that
>>59544274>What a great design, it'd be a shame if they kneecaped it with dogshit stats/moves/ability & make the next 2 gen's Grass starters literally Adonis by comparisonNo GameFreak, adding 10bp to Spirit Shackle is not going to fix it
>>59547719The “made to flop” curse is unstoppable
>>59547328>they probably genuinely believe contrary is strong enough to justify those statsstaraptor is right there, they just like watching malamarfags suffer
>>59547328To be fair, Regigigas is a sub-legendary rather than a restricted legendary. So he's meant to be on par with the legendary cats or the pronoun fairies moreso than Calyrex and Miraidon.That said, Regigigas is way worse than the legendary cats and pronoun fairies, so GF still overnerfed it.
>>59544983>there is absolutely no reason to use it over sandslashThe Mariowak line learns Ground moved at low levels, meaning it gets strong STAB moves that are SE against the myriad of poison types you're fighting in Gen 1. It also gets better Normal type moves on level up and at lower levels.
noctowl
>>59548735Hell no
>>59544983As >>59548198 pointed out - actual Ground-type moves without wasting the precious single-use TMs is a pretty valid reason. Mind you - Bone Club is pretty meh and Bonemerang is a multi-hit move, but it's still pretty good niche. It also can run a bunch of Special coverage moves, which is more of a gimmick with that 50 special but ehhh, it's something.
>>59544274gourgeist, not because it has bad stats, on the contrary. but it's basically a copypaste of trevenant so you have no reason to use it outside the small form's speed.gourgeist also has a huge ass special moveset....but low spatk. could've been special counterpart to trevenant
