It's literally a mongoose you faggot. Also, it might be Diggersby tier.
>implying it won't use it's rage to mega evolve without a mega stone, becoming one of the few Pokemon to rival Mega FUG.
>>26738871
Its ability is godly so it might actually have some chances as long as it gets some way to force switches like Yawn.
>>26738871
Did you not see it's ability Stakeout? With decent stats and a good move pool, this will go beyond Niggersby tier, also I wanna see this snake this *mongoose* rivals with
>>26738871
Strong Jaw Hyperfang already means it won't be PU trash and Stakeout will be great with an Assault Vest
also it's a mongoose, not a badger
>>26738871
>they finally made a honey badger pokemon
>people suddenly forget Typhlosion exists
>>26738880
Which, is good on its own. So here's hoping, GF has been breaking the usual cycle anyways, with the earlier Mons.
Hiya buddy
>>26738910
Trumpmon's rival will be a rat
>>26738871
>Honey Badger
>Has "goos" in it's name
>Totally useless in battle

>>26738929
What makes you say that? Genuinely curious is all
>>26738943
Sorry OP, I forgot to mention how fucking stupid you were in this postYou're really fucking stupid
>>26738943

Mongooses were imported to Hawaii to combat the rat population.
>>26738972
>literally a mongoose that was imported to deal with a pest, just like mongooses in Hawaii
>>26738968
Its description says that Yungoose was brought to Alola to drive out another pokemon. Mongoose were introduced to Hawaii to drive out rats.
>>26738968
>The mongooses found in Hawai’i are native to India and were originally introduced to Hawai’i Island in 1883 by the sugar industry to control rats in sugarcane fields on Maui, Moloka’i and O’ahu.
>>26738968
The Small Asian Mongoose was brought to Hawaii originally because sugar cane farmers needed something to control the electric rat problem.
>>26738880
It's probably a bit of both, it has similar markings and is noted for being hangry. It's not like a Pokemon hasn't been based off multiple animals before
>>26738871
I don't care if it's shit or not, I want to use that angry motherfucker ingame and I will love to watch him fuck shit up.
>>26738871
Typhlosion is a honey badger. This is a mongoose, and Stakeout guarantees this thing will not be low tier.
>>26738988
>>26738994
Oooooooh, I actually didn't know that. Awesome well hopefully there will be another snakemon
>>26738929
>trumpmon
>it isn't pic related
Has anyone considered that even with Stakeout the evo could have shitty stats?
I mean Diggersby was ok, but still.
>>26739048
It's going to have high attack, just look at it. Even if it does has shitty stats, I think Stakeout will guarantee some form of usage in higher tiers.
>>26738968
Because fucking Ted Cruz is EL RATO. This game truly is meme magic incarnate.
>>26739048
What does stakeout do?
>>26739119
Increased damage to pokemon that's switching in or enters the field mid-battle.
>>26738968
Literally because its why mongooses are on hawaii
>>26739119
If your opponent switches, Yungoose does double damage to the pokemon coming in.
>>26739140
Thats pretty nice.
>>26738871
>it will be totally useless in battle
>all of its moves are double power if the opposing mon switches
RIP volt switch, RIP U turn, etc etc
>>26738871
When I saw this I thought it was a joke...
>>26739024
Hopefully it'll have this exact face
>>26739144
>>26738880
Shut the fuck up with that stupid word
Obviously we can't tell yet but it has 2 very good abilities. I don't think it will be diggersby-level but will definitely see some use.
>>26741693
Are you actually too stupid to know when a word is being used correctly or not and default to on sight triggers instead of processing actual meaning?
>>26738888
Quads of Fug
>>26738910
It has Strong Jaw, it's guaranteed to get access to all of the fang moves and crunch. It just needs some speed and it's golden.
>>26741666
Holy fuck yess please
>>26742147
I could not agree more with you on that
>>26742147
>retards will actually use that shit ability and not the Pursuit on every move ability
Post yfw this fucker gets belly drum AND hyper fang by level up
>>26742204
It's better for in-game, and Stakeout hits the Pokemon switching in.
>>26738871
good riddance
it looks hideous
For some reason, I imagined the koala to be the route 1 normal type for Alola, but I feel thats unlikely seeing Yungoos
I'd still use it either way
