Goggles-kun Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 7 hours ago, YambOwO said: Garchomp? The slaughter shark! Gen 4 was certainly a very nice generation for some overpowered Pokémon, and garchomp is not an exception. With nicely balanced stats and wonderful moves it can learn, garchomp is a valuable member of any Pokémon team succeeding Gen 4. Just like flygon, having a Pokémon be a dual-type dragon works wonders in the long run, as dragon moves are very powerful. Its added ground type can also deal some nice blows to your enemies as well. Overall a great pseudo-legendary— maybe the best? 8/10 Robin’s Personal Comments: while garchomp is a very valuable Pokémon, its design is unexpectedly strange. It’s as if GameFreak didn’t really have any ideas for a pseudo-legendary at the time and garchomp was the result of a late-night Jaws binge watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I assume you’re talking about the chespin line? Since you didn’t mention quilladin I won’t mention them.) Don’t worry guys, dedenne isn’t a pikachu clone because it’s also a fairy type! Jokes aside, like the rest of the uninspired clone line, dedenne’s lack of an original concept and unfortunate one-stage evolution line doesn’t do it any good in the long run. Even though its base stats are superior than the actual pikachu, it really is the most unoriginal in terms of the pikachu clone line— and the entire dex. 2.5/10 Robin’s Personal Comments: saying a pikachu clone is your favorite Pokémon rings along the same tone as “pikachu IS my favorite Pokémon, it’s just that I like its redesigns.” I still do not consider pichu to be a pikachu clone. Did you know wobbuffet has one of the best base hp stats out of any Pokémon? ...that’s where the good things about wobbuffet ends. After digging through serebii for a hot second, wobbuffet truly appears to be one of the worst Pokémon to have on a competitive team. In Gen 8, it can only learn eight moves by leveling up, four moves by evolution, two moves by TM and two moves by TR. That’s a collective 16 total moves it can learn. Compare this to the aforementioned dedenne, which in generation 7 (dedenne isn’t in the Galar dex), can learn more than 40 moves. This really is such a shame, because wobbuffet has a quirky and cute design. 2/10. Robin’s Personal Comments: it’s like a chansey. Fundamentally useless? Yes. Has an exponential base hp stat that’s more unreasonable than anything else? Absolutely. At least it can learn counter and mirror coat. Ah, the chespin line, otherwise known as the “chesnaught doesn’t learn a fighting move until level sixty!” line. I like to give grass types nice buffers for being immune to spore attacks (poison, paralysis, etc.), but grass/fighting is such a... weird... really weird typing. I get that chesnaught was supposed to be a dual-type with something that would make people who chose froakie cower in fear, but... it’s just so weird. I don’t like it at all. But, hey— those are some really nice base defense and attack stats! 6/10. Robin’s Personal Comments: if you want a BETTER chesnaught, get a torterra. Torrterras have better stats in general and could probably pave a chesnaught into the ground with ease. Also, don’t mind the chosen image— I couldn’t find any good non-Sugimori art of the entire line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so dirty. They’re living a happy life with all my other Pokémon plushies on a shelf in my closet now. Oh, uh... the noibat line. Surprise surprise, this is a Gen 6 Pokémon I actually like next to sylveon, yveltal, and greninja. Oh yeah, this isn’t supposed to be biased. Oops. While noibat is another Pokémon people would normally get just to evolve it to noivern, its balanced stats are quite... satisfying? Dunno. It’s not sunkern stats bad, just strangely balanced. Noibat, though, trumps a lot of other Pokémon when it comes to its speed. It’s nicely placed at a base speed stat of 123, which somehow trumps greninja’s base speed by one point. Though when noibat and noivern are compared to other Pokémon that fall under the same typing (i.e. dragonite), it’s shown to be quite apparent that noiverns might make a cozy place on your team if you can handle its otherwise normal base stats. 7/10.

Goodra line? Got it This is a personal opinion, but goodra was such a wasted potential. I love dragon types so much, but you’re going to have a dragon type only get to learn two dragon moves? I feel like goodra and its predecessors would benefit if it were dual-typed with something else like fairy or normal. Sticky, sticky girl. Really nice special attack base stats, though. 6...? 5? 5.5/10? Robin’s Personal Comments: ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GOOGLE GOODRA, EVEN IF YOU HAVE SAFE SEARCH ON. The first results for goodra are all weird sexual and fetish stuff. I had to dig a little more to find suitable artwork. ‘Das nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to do this yesterday. Oops! Rotom (fun fact: it’s “motor” backwards) is an example of a cute idea on the surface but still executed in a weird way. Its balanced, bad stats send it to the box as opposed to a nice, comfy place on your team. Only a base hp stat of 50? Aw... iconic, but not particularly memorable. 4...? 4.5/10?

Trust me guys, morpeko isn’t a pikaclone because it’s actually a guinea pig! Aside from that, I’d say morpeko strives to be a bit more than a pikaclone with its full belly and hangry mode, but also nearly has the same body proportions as pikachu. However, morpeko does have better overall stats as opposed to pikachu! But similarly to dedenne, its uninspired origin and one-stage evolution doesn’t do it justice. 4/10 Robin’s Personal Comments: Marnie is cuter than morpeko, change my mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
