It's amazing! Just add King's Rock and an Arm Thrust move tutor in Gen VII and its perfect.

Use it in doubles with a Mummy guy like Confagrius or something. Or with a Worry Seed guy. Whatever.

It sure is, finally.

I can't quite say the same about Noctowl, though. Maybe someday.

Good in UU, OU and Ubers. Sadly shit in official formats, unusable in Doubles, heavily outclassed in Battle Spot.

We'll most likely get a flying type version since Pikipek has skill link

what do to make viable?
Ice Punch
thunder Punch?

Profit?

Sadly no

maybe I'm just shit

It's a slow Ice-type with all its stats invested in bulk i.e. it's absolute feces.

Well... it was banned in the ADV tournament in Japan.

Outside of that, well, it has its niche but nothing really worth of mention.

Viable. Just sucks that it is too slow to be able to do anything other than
A) AssVest Waterfall/Play Rough/Power-up Punch
B) Belly Drum/Aqua Jet

Yes, especially for sweeping teams with Stored Power.

My original bro got screwed hard over the years.

In Gen II, the Special Split turned it's high Special into SpDef and left it's SpAtk to match it's much lower Atk.

In Gen III, it was branded a pedophile around the internet because of a side story where one supposedly abducts a little girl.

In Gen V, it was severely outclassed by it's Unova Counterpart.

In Gen VI, the much more powerful already Alakazam got a Mega Evo and not this guy.
