IT IS I
*Screeches lowering all your defenses*
SKARMORY, THE KILLER OF FUN
*Generates a powerful wind that blows everyone away*
NO OTHER POKEMON SHALL EVER START A BATTLE BUT ME
*Proceeds to shit spikes and flying rocks everywhere*
Stay mad
Skarmory, Thundurus, and Keldeo are the holy trinity of good competitive mons with bad designs.

>Whirlwind after Screech
Why
>>25562220
But that's incorrect.
Isn't this a /lolg/ meme?
>>25562199
>see any Stealth Rock mon in opponent team (mostly Skarmory and the Gen 5 (eww) steel/grass abomination)
>send Mega-Zard first
>proceed to rape 3-4 mon with it in a row without switching thus randering the rocks useless
Thank you based team preview
>>25562220
I hate Skarmory in competitive too, but saying it has a bad design is ludicrous.
It's a fucking giant metal Condor. Can't get much cooler than that.
Competitive Pokemon is just people trying to out-asshole each other.
>>25562220
>Thundurus and Keldeo
>good competitive design
>only good because of high base stats
They are only competitive because they have nearly 100 more base stats than most pokemon.
Compare to sableye who only has 380 bases states but continues to be competitive. That is good design.
>>25562220
ur so fucking wrong desu
>>25562359
They meant aesthetic design, you goober.
>>25562389
No they meant good competitive design with bad aesthetics. They have neither good competitive design not good aesthetics.
>>25562220
>Skarmory
>Bad design
Nah.
>>25562437
How is a design "competitive" ?
>>25562199
>getting walled by iron bird
It's good, but you're shit if you can't handle it.
>mfw Skarmory is my bro but I'm not into competitive at all and I'd rather just compete in contests
>>25562199
I only use my Skarmory for Sky Attack and Iron Head tyvm
>>25562326
Then above 1300 elo anyone would send either hippo or heatran rendering your little dwagon useless
>>25564020
Is EQ any good on Zard-X? If so wouldn't that be a good Heatran check?
