They have shit taste.
Its not a firebreathing dragon.
>>26750237
Nah. It's, Illogical for everyone hate to the samething.
some people like it.
Too much awsomeness to handle for some people.
It wasn't expected. All the fanart and specualtion drove chespin to be a awesome all out attacker like warrior. See pic related. Also 2nd evo is by far the worst I've seen
>>26750331
>Implying chesnaught isn't a badass all-out attacker
>Implying that fanart isn't fucking garbage
Chesnaught @ assault vest
Drain punch
Wood hammer
EQ/dragonclaw/poisonjab/ironhead
EQ/dragonclaw/poisonjab/ironhead
More coverage moves than that also
Go fuck yourself

I'm okay with Chestnaught. What I'm not okay with is Spiky Shield.
It's literally Protect but better because it punishes your opponent for not predicting it. At least it has the same fail chance as Protect and also is really prone to spam from bad players, but still.
It's bad move design.
>>26750381
>talonflame, sans item
>acrobatics
Literally all it takes to fuck up any chesnaught set-up
>>26750461
I forgot that protect doesn't avoid status as well
....leave anon
>>26750490
Ice type
literally all it takes to fuck up any Garchomp and Landorus-T set
Chesnaught doesn't have a bad design, but its color scheme is very boring, that's how I would describe it. You can bet it would be more popular if its shiny color was the default. It also had to compete with the dream of all furfags and the uber ninja, so it's no wonder Chesnaught is less popular than its counterparts.
>>26750237
It single-handedly made me change my starter once I saw it. I think I'm in the "FUCKING LOVE CHESTNAUGHT" camp.
Also, fighting types are my jam.
>>26750237
shitty design (the shiny sprite palette should be the regular one), terrible type combination, subpar movepool, terrible type combination, defensive pokémon, terribly distributed status, terrible type combination
>>26750665
Lol it's better than Mega Blastoise.
>>26750665
>Terrible Type Combo
Fighting has one of the best type coverages in the game. It's just that Grass is one of the worst types in the game defensively. It's too weak to too much common shit.
>>26750237
At least it's better than Shitphox.
>>26750772
It resists Lando-T's moves besides U-Turn, at least
>>26750772
Basically this >>26750490
>>26750237
How could someone hate her? She's perfect waifu material!
>>26750461
Oh boo hoo. Lots of moves punish players for not predicting them. It's pretty normal.
>>26750802
I'll be honest and say that I don't really see Talonflames that aren't running a Sash or Choice item. Even the local casual kids (and I mean actual kids in the 10-15 range) run the bird roughly the same way.
I think maybe I saw one using the berry that makes Rock SE damage hurt less, but he turned around and said "wasn't worth it" and changed back to what he had before.
>>26750812
yea, they should make more feminine model for female chesnaught. It wont make female chesnaught look less tanky but it wont look weird if pokemon looking like man is not man
>>26750812
>tfw my first XY run had female chespin
>will always see chesnaught as female
>>26750461
It does shit for damage and it's accuracy withers when used consecutively just like protect. Bait it out once and they won't use it on the next turn. Git gud fag.
>>26751201
>At least it has the same fail chance as Protect and also is really prone to spam from bad players, but still.
>Yeah but its accuraccy withers just like protect so just bait it out.
Thank you for telling people things they clearly already know.
>>26751192
Nothing wrong with that anon. Chesnaught looks much better as a lady than all this bara shit around.
>>26750381
Chesnaught with lefties
Spiky Shield
Substitute
Drain punch
Leech seed
Fixed

I'm okay with Aegislash. What I'm not okay with is King's Shield.
It's literally Protect but better because it punishes your opponent for not predicting it. At least it has the same fail chance as Protect and also is really prone to spam from bad players, but still.
It's bad move design.
>>26751561
Isn't King's Shield just Protect with a different name, though?
>>26751586
No, it reduces the attacker's ATK by 2 stages.
However it can't guard against status so it doesn't actually outclass protect.
>>26751607
Huh. How 'bout that.
It needed ears.
I shit you not, give it those generic triangle ears, and more spikes on its shell and maybe like a teensy bit shorter legs and you will have a popular pokemon
>>26751586
Anon are you an aspie?
>>26750237
Not as good as greninja, not as cute/sexy as Delphox.
On top of that it's the grass starter. Grass is usually the boring, "neutral" choice in a world of water vs fire banter.
It's just there.
Also it's second stage Evo is arguably the worst looking second stage for a starter in the entire franchise
>>26751365
It does actually
>>26751670
No, just clearly less educated in Pokemon moves than I thought I was.
Everything's a learning experience. Even anons mocking you on the internet can be used to learn shit if you don't let them get to you.

Spiky Shield is a better Protect because it punish opponents who use a contact attack.
King's Shield is a different Protect, because it doesn't block status attacks like Taunt, Will-o-Wisp or Thunderwave. But in return for that setback, it drops by 2 stages the attack of any opponent that tries a contact attack
>>26751676
Looks like YOU'RE the one with shit taste.
Chesnaught should have been named Grasstoise.
>>26751851
But then the chestnut puns would've been all for naught.
>>26751887
CARLOS I SWEAR TO GOD
So, I'm pretty much the only fag here that likes the original color palette just a bit more than the shiny, right?
Ok.
>>26752115
WTF! They don't draw well enough to try to 3d render that. kek
>>26752129
Did I see this in drawfag threads?
>>26750331
That's ugly though
I like Chesnaught, wud fug
Be careful guys, femnaught posts seem to not go well with mods around here.
Still, I got to say Femnaught > Male all day, everyday.
>>26750331
Bad art but I use to like this idea where it's tail turned into a long lance and fell off so it used it as a sword.
>>26751044
Weird, most of the Talonflames I see hold either Life Orb, Sharp Beak or Leftovers.
I get that one can pull a leg at Talonflame with Chesnaught by using Spike Shield. But the strategy won't work more than one turn. 2 if you're lucky.
Chesnaught isn't bad but it's undeniable it could have been much better, even for a starter
