Why is this allowed? I mean, i love the 3 of them but the design has nothing in common, how the fuck do you go from trapinch to vibrava and then flygon..?
>>26420583
They all are a Antlion, simple like that.
>>26420583
>how the fuck do you go from trapinch to vibrava and then flygon
Train it to level 35 and then train Vibrava to level 45
>>26420583
It's a bug you dingus.even though it's not bug typeit's supposed to symbolize metamorphosis.unrelated roll
>>26420600
>is a bug more or less
>in the bug egg group
>no access to quiver OR dragon dance
>but the design has nothing in common
Just like Antlions in real life. Who would've thought?
The only flaw is that Vibrava wasn't designed to resemble a pupa and jumped into an adult right away. This could've been a ground version of the Bagon line.
>>26420606
This guy gets it.
>>26420583
>Trapinch is an antlion
>Vibrava is the adult form of an antlion
dumbass
>>26420583
Anon pls, it's a bug (antlion to be exact). Of course the final form is going to look nothing like the base form.
>>26420625
But look at the design, i am talking about that. There is people that dont get how oshawot ends like samurott that has nothing to do, i dont get trapinch --> flygon. And flygon is one of muy favorites
>>26420613
I think Vibrava was meant to represent the adult form of antlion and then Flygon is the proper "dracoified" form of it, because lets face it Vibrava looks nothing like a dragon.
>>26420583
Ground/Dragon
Trapinch's Atk: 100
Vibrava's Atk: 70
Flygon's Atk: 100
Trapinch has two Abilities (Hyper Cutter and Arena Trap), while Vibrava and Flygon only have ONE (Levitate). Now the biggest fuck up Game Freak did was giving a HA to Trapinch BUT TOTALLY IGNORE Vibrava AND Flygon.
When will Flygon's misery end? I really want to use it without fearing to be beaten. Flygon is currently RU on Gen VI.
>>26420653
new gen 6 HA for flygon:limber
>>26420653
That's completely ubrelated to the op.
>>26420583
Antlion fucking dumbass
>>26420634
>There is people that dont get how oshawot ends like samurott that has nothing to do
>Oshawott is a sea mammal that carried a seashell. Uses the shell like a blade
>Samurott is a sea mammal that is covered in seashells. Part of the shells becomes a huge blade
People who say this must possesses mental deficiencies then.
>>26420653
No Levitate Pokemon except for Bronzong was given a Hidden Ability for some reason
>>26420641
Vibrava's size and colors still look pretty juvenile.
>>26420741
Because it would make no sense for a Pokémon able to fly to suddenly become vulnerable to Ground attacks. Bronzong is likely that way because its other two abilities make it too heavy to float.
>>26420606
>is a bug more or less
>bugs have shells
>doesn't learn shell smash
>>26420790
Bugs can't just break their shell on a whim if there's not another one ready under it, they would just collapse in a puddle of LCL.
>>26420595
>>26420790
By that logic, Clauncher should learn shell smash because its a Crustacean
>>26420653
Being in RU doesn't mean it can't be used it OU.
It just means that it's not used enough.
Which generally means there are better alternatives, but that doesn't mean specific Pokemon from lower tiers can't have potential niches.
>>26420634
>muy favorites
>>26420613
Pupa/cocoon Pokemon are fucking ugly, boring and useless. There's no point in them existing when Pokemon can just instantly evolve into their next form. Who actually likes/uses Metapod, Kakuna, Silcoon, Cascoon or Pupitar anyway?
>>26420843
The only truly bad thing about them is that they don't leave much room to creativity.
>>26420843
so all mid evolutions are useless?
Actually, remove evolution entirely.
>>26420583
Trapinch is an antlion larvae.
Vibrava is a mature antlion.
Flygon is the one that's out of place since it suddenly becomes very reptilian and loses just about all of the antlion characteristics.
>>26420863
No, just cocoons. Their designs are shit, they're unusable, and nobody likes them.
>>26420843
In one of those "favorite Pokemon of all types" threads I saw one contrarian who listed Shelgon as his favorite Dragon type. But generally, you're correct.
>>26421027
All par their usability is just your opinion. Them not being useful is their point (And this doesn't even apply to Pupitar)
>>26420806
LCL?
>>26420878
Flygon is meant to represent the fact that some species of antlions are colloquially called "sand dragons". It's basically a pun, like Ampharos turning into Electric/Dragon when it Mega Evolves.
>>26420814I want Natalya to sexually violate me
>>26421064
Volcanion.
>>26420806
Neither can gastropods, nautiluses, snails, turtles, or barnacles
>>26420821
A crab molts multiple times so it has multiple shells. Where a bug only get a new she'll once it goes through metamorphosis. But neither are worthy of shell smash
>>26420583
at least garchomp fixed that.
>>26420843
nigger why the fuck is Pupitar in there, last time I checked it got level-up moves and stats worth at least half a damn
>>26420806
There is literally nothing wrong with collapsing into LCL.
>>26424362
LCL?
>>26424376

As someone who doesn't care for Samurotts design, I wouldn't argue that he shares nothing with Oshawott and Dewott. I acknowledge the connections, I just personally don't care for the vast change in the physiology.in my opinionthey should've stuck with the sea otter look and kept him bipedal. The shell blades and armor would've looked just as bad ass, if not better, on a bigger Dewott
>>26420641
Agreed.
>>26420583
Never mattered to me. It just clicked and made sense.
Has been my favorite along with Venusaur since gen 3.
>>26420600
I'm kind of pissed Flygon isn't Bug/Dragon
>>26420595
underrated post
>>26424362
Mah niggah.
>>26420613
>You will never have a bug/dragon
>>26420595
>>26424585
OP here, yeah it made me laugh
>>26420583
Trapinch and Vibrava should've been Ground/Bug.
