Exactly rednecks. Behemoth was either one of those animals.

Hominids and dinosaurs never coexisted, but an elephant/hippo was a rare sight to the middle east.

It wasn't a dinosaur.

Literally nobody before modern times thought behemoth looked like a dinosaur. The consensus up until 1800 was hippopotamus.

And then the state of Kansas was settled.

That's the fun thing about trying to pretend the bible and other religious materials and stories are real: the shit is so vague you can say it's anything you want.

To me, the behemoth is a giant vegetarian rat.

>>25918972
As long as it isn't a dinosaur you can say whatever you want about it.

But the line is drawn at The Flintstones.

You're right as long as it's a big beast it can be named behemoth

You're a retard.

Just because the biblical behemoth was not a dinosaur does not mean Groudon cannot be based on a behemoth. Were the 3 musketeers literally a group of ungulates? Of course not. But does that mean the swords of justice aren't based on the 3 musketeers just because they are also based on ungulates? No.

Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza are conceptually based on Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz. Their physical form is based on other creatures, but conceptually their basis is those Biblical monsters.

They're pack art from the TCG, a lot of them are really nice, this one is from the set 'Primal Clash'

Isn't there this weird duality where Kyogre gets more out of the rain than Groudon does from the sun but Primal Groudon gets more out of the intense sun than Primal Kyogre gets out of the intense rain?
>>
>>25923887
no? sunny day boosts moves and coverage vs all of groudons weaknesses

rain dances boosts nothing for kyogre except stuff it was already good at and thunder
>>
>>25923887
Yes. That's correct.

Sun boosts fire moves and auto charges Solarbeam. Groudon gets no STAB from Fire, and Solarbeam, while usable, uses it's weaker stat.
Meanwhile rain boosts Water, Kyogre's STAB, and gives increased accuracy to Thunder, which uses Kyogres stronger attacking stat.


On the flip side, P-Groudon now gains a Fire typing giving it STAB on Fire, and intense sunlight removes Water moves altogether eliminating it's dual weakness, where as Kyogre removes Fire moves which it already resists anyway, gaining less. As far as STABs go fighting each other, Groudon has access to Ground, hitting Kyogre's weaker defense while Fire and Water can be cancelled out.
