What the fuck do you do when your favourite Pokemon is made redundant by another?Vileplume --> Amoongus
FUCK MY LIFE/
>>26967288
hope for a mega
>>26967296
ThEY MADE A MEGA FOR FUCKING MEWTWO WHAT HOPE DO WE HAVE
My bro is literally made redundant by nearly every fire and rock mon.
Best I can hope for is a massive BST increase and GF actually making Magma Armor something broken or some shit. Which is a shame cause the bastard has such a great movepool.
>>26967288
I'm so happy I don't play competitive. I play single player with all my favorite pokemon all the time. Never for a second do I feel like I can't make a pokemon work. I never beg for new evos or megas either. I want my pokemon to stay as-is for posterity.
>>26967393
yeah but some pokemon are so bad for even singleplayer these days. And singleplayer is easy as fuck.
Like no matter how good your weezing is it still gets walled by any steel type.
>>26967411
Weezing learns Flamethrower
>>26967288
Arbok has always been useless, sadly. I try to use it as a physical utility wall because Intimidate forces a switch to some SpA psychic or ground type which usually doesn't appreciate Glare. But it's just so shitty statwise.
>>26967288
>Tfw Machamp is such a bro, but is just a better-designed, but worse in every other way Conkeldurr.
They even fucking evolve the same way. FML
>>26967288
>really like audino
>downgrade of chansey
>got a mega but it's ability is ass
It hurts to live. I would have been a happy man if audino's regular form had mega audino's type, base stats, and the move recover.
Keep using it. Build a gimmicky team around it.
Literally every single pokemon who learns dual screens is better at using dual screens than Meganium. It's amazing just how bad Meganium is at battles.
>>26967539
But if you suck at farming its your bro :D
Pokemon version of harvest moon when?
>>26967288
You post like a fag on 4chan, it seems.
>>26967296
We can only hope. We can only hope.
>DUDE JUST USE DARMANITAN! EMBOAR IS USELESS LOL
>>26969964
>needing an excuse to use Darmanitan
>>26971224
I'd rather use Emboar.
>>26967288
I'd use Vileplume anyways since I like it more.
>>26967451
Coil and gunk shot, Anon. Coil and gunk shot.
>>26967288
Find fun gimmicks
you could run Offensive vileplume in the sun
vileplume has better defenses then Amoongus
just HP spore and ability makes it a little better
You don't know suffering until your fav is exeggutor
Porygon-Z just doesn't cut it as a good special sweeper anymore. It's sad.Boomburst when?
>really like Florges but Sylveon is similar and better in every way
>really like Sylveon too but baby's first pokemon waifu is similar and better in every way.
>>26967288
Hasn't Vileplume been redundant since Gen I because of Venusaur?
Favorite was made redundant.
>>26971411
In gen 3 it had better support options with Aromatherapy and worked as a niche pick.
>>26967296
Physical Elecs and Ghosts needs buffing badly.
>>26967288
Amoongus doesn't get chlorophyll
Your a great special attacker with chlorophyll
Flygon...
>>26972827
Venusaur and Victreebell > Vileplume in that aspect.
>>26967344
You could try Shell Smash with Life orb on a free turn
>>26967464
>No guard dynamic punch
I STILL like Golem, despite being made obsolete by basically every defensive Rock/Ground/Steel mon ever. Please GF help out Arbok in a rock.
>>26972845
Doesn't matter
Atleast you'll have vileplume do something
>love buizel and floatzel
>literally invalidated by azumarill
...Of all the fucking choices for a hidden ability it had to be water veil instead of sheer force or something else useful.
>>26972888
Weakness Policy, with Sturdy
Run a fast set and high attack, jolly nature
Rock Polish should already boost your speed high enough unless they are using choice specs or priority
Stone Edge and earthquake destroys everything, fire punch for coverage or sucker punch for priority that isn't extreme speed and fake out
>>26967288
Tfw when my bro is Dragonite, got 1000% outclassed by Salamance for 2 gen's.
Salamance is his bitch now
Feels good
What do you do when your pokemon is so much better than the original but people can't accept that?Gothitelle---> Gardiwhore
>favorite fish mon
>will literally never be worth using because of a fucking washing machine
>>26972925
Floatzel is useful for countering people who think they can rain dance swift swim sweep by outspeeding them with your own
Floatzel can learn powe up punch which is useful
>>26973007
Having both volt absorb and water absorb is useful than levitate
>>26972925
A lot of fuckers think they can get away with burns
Keep in mind that floatzel learns switcheroo
Catch a fucker whose going to use it and lock them with a choice item
You can also baton pass bulk ups
Floatzel can do a lot of shit
>>26973032
>Expecting floatzel to survive anything beyond one hit or land a pup with those defenses.
I've already accepted this fate senpai...
>>26967487
Outside their looks and Pokemon center function they couldn't be more different.
>>26973137
A lot of Pokemon have shit defenses anon
He's a speedy physical attacker that has different options
Instead of shitting on water veil, use it
>>26973137
>Implying he's supposed to survive
He's a good suicide lead with switcheroo
It's always gotta be about Gengar, doesn't it.
Any physical electric type, specifically Luxray
Outclassed by electivire and he still sucks
>>26973847
>Electric
>Physical
Never ever
>>26967344
>Magma armor now negates Water and Ground type moves
Is it fixed?
>>26973260
Gengarfag here.
Sorry, anon.
>>26972888
is that where the STILL meme came from? It being redundant now? Because I always wondered
>>26969964
I use emboar for my trickroom set
wrecked shit so many times.
>>26976307
Water I sort of get with the whole, 'it's so hot the water evaporates', but why ground? Other than to remove that crippling x4 weakness that is.
>>26971361
>adaptability boom burst
>>26967411
I tought you were going to talk about Ledian. But Weezing? That guy is far from unusable.
>>26967411
>Waaah my pokemon isn't good against absolutely everything
You have 6 party slots for a reason.
>>26972723
I don't get why electric has no priority. And why is volt tackle still a pika exclusive?
>>26967288
Who even likes Amongoos?
>tfw no mega vileplume
>tfw no mega marowak
WHY COULDN'T YOU BE SPECIAL ATTACKER WITH ROCK/STEEL TYPING GIGALITH? MOST OTHER ROCKS OUTCLASS YOU. YOUR DEX ENTRY HAS YOU UNLEASHING ENERGY FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
>>26967288
>tfw Tyranitar will always be relevant.
And his mega confirms this.
>easily outclassed as a defensive pokemon by Donphan who also hits a lot harder
>easily outclassed as an offensive pokemon by Excadrill who also has somewhat comparable bulk through HP and steel typing resisting almost everything
>no niche to set it apart from the above two as they all can set up rocks and spin
>far too slow to even attempt to sweep outside of sandstorm
>base 100 attack is nowhere near as good as it used to be in gen 1
Just use the Pokemon you like and are your favorites Pokemon isn't always about choosing the strongest one
>>26977080
Because they want everybody else to use Wild Charge
And I don't want to waste a turn setting up electric terrain
>>26976525
>Ledian
>That movepools
>That special defense
>>>>Iron Fist
>35 attack
I will never be more disgusted
>>26977175
>tfw Tyranitar is shit and is easy to OHKO if you're not a useless player
>>26982108
Defeating Tyranitar isn't hard
But he's not outclassed in his own game
>>26967288
>Parasect -> Amoonguss too
Fuck Amoonguss
>>26976448
I guess because Magma could be interpreted as heat overcoming ground? Kinda, magma is basically liquid rock.
