Why is HE a pseudo legendary, and haxorus is not?
>>
>>24826131
Because Haxorus doesn't have 600 BST.
>>
>>24826131
Base stats are too low.

I'm still mad about it being mono dragon.

Dragon/Water or Dragon/Fairy is what it should have been.

Wouldn't surprise me if it gets a mega with different typing in Z.

nice.

And quite frankly I sorta liked him when XY was released. Still salty he isn't Dragon/Water or Dragon/Poison or Dragon/Fairy or whatever. Would've given him better physical resistances.

nice typin' skills, tex.

Just making fun of your typing skills tex.

I will concede, however, that the term "pseudo-legendary" doesn't exactly have much meaning aside from unnecessary labelling.

well, let's think about it.

goodra?
>600 bst with absolutely retarded distribution, barely enough to both offenses to be strong and too little to hp and defense to be a viable tank
>shit design, legitimately one of if not the worst of gen VI
>can't do shit in competitive except for maybe an assault vest set because of aforementioned failure to be a real tank
>retarded evolutionary method
>is mono dragon, meaning lots of pokemon shit all over it and it doesn't get cool stab combos like hydreigon or kingdra
>furfags love it and can't stop making porn of it while some autist uses it to shit up the board

haxorus?
>540 bst, but spread out reasonably so that it can fill out its role as an excellent DD sweeper, with just enough bulk to live a few hits, and a decent speed tier that outspeeds the unboosted metagame after a DD
>learns a variety of cool moves that make sense, unlike goofag that learns shit like fucking wood hammer for no purpose
>excellent, intimidating design that looks legitimately neat and a nice conclusion from the cute axew
>can act as a decent dd sweeper in uu and even ou if you're unable to run charX, especially since it eats clefable for breakfast
>evolves from fraxure at level 48, which is reasonable considering at what point in the game fraxure is accessible in b/w and b/w 2
>autists either call it ugly or don't even care about it

well, there's your answer, OP.

Why was Goomy->Goodra deemed a Pseudo, and why did GameFreak decide Haxorus should not be the 600 BST dragon?

>found in a remote, optional area (Dratini in Safari Zone fishing, Larvitar Mt Silver, I think Beldum in Meteor Falls post-game, etc.)
>3 stage
>Dragon
Other than that and the BST, its missing an immunity to... something.
>Flying
>Dark
>Steel
>Flying, again.
>Ground
>Dark, again.
> ... Sap Sipper, technically.

Goodra should've been Dragon/Fairy or the whole line should've been Poison, Poison, Poison/Fairy. But then it'd just be a Florges with a physical attack stat and toxic immunity.
>>
>>24827464
That'd be a nice contrast considering they were pitted against each other in the anime, and commonly featured with each other in fanart.

Here's the real fucking question.

Why the hell isn't Noivern the pseudo?

Should Goodra learn Recover?

It's supposed to wall, and unlike Aggron and shit it actually fits thematically, since it's a slug thing. A pseudo should be good at its job.
>>
>>24827717
The Gastrodon line actually seems to be the only exception to "bog/snail creatures learning recovery moves," so maybe not.

It would be a pretty bitching tank if it did, though.
>>
>>24827464
Beldum is given to you by Steven.
>>
>>24827680
This. Noibat needs a middle-stage, the transition between it and 'vern is insane and frankly, Noivern needs a higher BST to be not terrible
>>
>>24827680
Same reason it evolves at forty-fucking-eight. Game Freak a fuck.
>>
>>24827756
Oh, was it Bagon then?
>>
>>24827025
He should've been Dragon/Poison.
>>
>>24827750

but gastrodon does learn recover. same with slugma.
>>
>>24826131
>>
>>24827846
... Why is it even Dragon-typed?
>>
>>24827905

it's based on the lou carcohle

its entire fucking theme is being a dragon that doesn't look like one at first

>no one completed the memesentence

Does anyone have that panel from a manga remarking on Haxorus' scary appearance, but friendly personality?
>>
>>24826131
Haxorus is awesome enough already. He doesn't need some bullshit title.

Motherfucker has done me wonders for 3 games straight with access to false swipe while still hitting like a truck, and having mold breaker to chew straight through sturdy wild pokes that refuse to go down in one turn.

That's all I ever asked for.

Goodra is a she
