How is it a Steel type again?
>>27148256
It has spikes that puff out of it, it's supposed to be kind of like a hedgehog that can puff its spikes out when it runs electricity through them. That's also why it gets iron barbs.Tbh one of the more interesting pikachu clones in years
>>27148256
It's cute! CUTE!
Funny how Gen 7 is the first gen that manages to have both two Pikaclones and the only Pikaclones worth having.
It's grey like steel.
Now a better question is why Salandit isn't dark type.
>>27148256

>Pikaboo is a pikaclone
Retard
>>27148256
Why is its tail coming from its upper back?
>>27148256
It's like a ball bearing.
>>27148291
There's only one pikaclone.
The back of the pokemon isn't fluffy. If the game was on better hardware that could support larger textures and better lighting it would be easier to tell.
Same deal as Lucario, spikes and knots.
>>27148316
That's not tail. It's the first Pikaclone with no tail. It's an overgrow needle it uses as lightningrod.
>>27148310
>>27148331
How is Mimmikyu not a Pikaclone? It's literally a Pokemon designed to pander to how much normies love the marketable Pikachu design. Marill might as well be a Pikaclone, honestly. There's a reason people called it Pikablu.
>>27148296
Because it's already Poison/Fire.
>this *might* mean that Litten will become Fire/Dark
Steel ball run
>>27148370
Marill is the gen II pikaclone,
Mimmikyu is a disguise ghost, but doesn't share any resemblance to a clone.

Defend this, cucks. Zodiacfags claim that all the pikaclones are supposed to represent ""new generation features"", but from all the posts I've seen that claim this meme, none of them can ever 100% decide on what Pachirisu/Emolga are. I've seen gender differences/physical-special split/nintendo wifi connection for Pachirisu and rustling grass/dual-type pikaclone/musicals for Emolga, and have seen no attempts for Togedemaru.
Come on, give me your best bait.
>>27149014
it symbolizes the staleness of the franchise.
>>27148881
This.
>>27149014
muh patterns a shit
gamefreak introduces electric rodents every gen because the rats are popular
pic related, the japan popularity poll and the results of the electric types:
4. pikachu
24. magnemite
31. dedenne
33. zekrom
62. zapdos
69. pichu
71. raichu
77. emolga
86. luxray
87. ampharos
94. thundurus
98. raikou
113. jolteon
124. pachirisu
127. stunfisk
129. rotom
153. minun
199. plusle
not counting plusle and minun, all of the rats are pretty high, and despite pachirisu being low, it earned its own popularity thanks to vgc
>>27149014
Pachirisu is gender differences. Emolga is shaking grass.
Togedemaru isn't this gen's Pikaclone, Mimikkyu is. Mimikkyu representstransferring Gen 1 VC Pokemon to Gen 7 with Pokemon Bankbecausethe only way to catch him is by moving up a Gen 1 Pikachu
>>27148256
I like to imagine that it has a hard steel skeletal shell on its back underneath its skin.
>>27149014

>>27148961
Hngh...
>>27148256
Maybe it would be neat if it had an evolution which was obviously steel-looking.
>>27149242
>counting
There haven't been any Pikaclone evos.
>>27148881
>Marill is the gen 2 pikaclone
>>27148881
No, Pichu is the gen 2 pikaclone.
Marill isn't electric type and doesn't have cheek circles. GF doesn't even consider it a pikaclone.
>>27149285
>inb4 the retard says "this is a shop hurr" and posts his autistic image with marril pasted on
>>27149285
That picture is really ofensive. Please, spoil your shit.
How can Pichu be the pikaclone if it is a part of Pikachu's line?
It's not a clone it IS a pikachu
>>27149302
>GF doesn't consider it this fanmade term
Really? You don't say.
>>27149302
it was LITERALLY called Pikablu
>>27149416
they acknowledge the electric rodents as proven by >>27149285
they just dont have a specific term like pikaclone, kinda like the "generation" term, is fanmade but gf still acknowledges it somehow
>>27148291
Fuck off, Dedenne is better.
>>27148291
>Marill
Yeah, fuck your face, you dumb bitch
i think the proper term is "electric rodents" because if you say pikaclone, shitters will say shit like marill or minccino or anything that is based on a rodent
>>27149714
>minccino
>pikaclone
I'm pretty sure only you think that.
>>27149073
>Arceus
>Keldeo
>3/4 of the top 50 are legendaries
Either Japan has shit tastes, or this poll was given only to children
>>27149574
Only because people didn't really understand what he was when he was first teased. Pikablu was a fan term. The battle screen art above is proof enough that Pichu is the pikaclone.
>>27148291
Even if Pikaboo was a pikaclone, Plusle and Minun were the first two in one Gen.
>>27149714
>"electric rodents"
>marill
>>27148256
covered in metal needles
>>27149574
The same way we call Mimichu as Pikaboo.
>>27149574
As a fanmade term before the official name was revealed, your point?
>>27149077
>>27149117
Those are all pretty weak attempts considering Pichu, Plusle/Minun, and Dedenne's "features" are immediately discernible/marketed from the moment you look at them. Like they were designed with them in mind.
You would actually have to do look further to know that Pachirisu even has gender differences or that Emolga hides in fucking rustling grass. Nothing about their designs hint to it.
>>27149077
What if Mimikkyu isn't even catchable in S/M, only appearing when a Pikachu is traded from R/G/B/Y?what if Mimikkyu replaces all Pokémon coming from VC R/G/B/Y with it using a costume based on it? Just imagine an old Machamp costume using Fissure, representing that it can't learn it now
>>27148256
steel wool
>>27149285
Come on, nobody remember the Pichu Bros. from the ashnime?
>>27149574
Lucario was literally called Mewthree. Guess he's a legendary now.

Fuck you, Plusle and Minun were worth having on the account of being cute! CUTE!
>>27149077
>gender differences
Pikachu had that first

No, Emolga is the first dual type Pika-clone
>>27149121
T-thank you anon

>>27149073
>133
japs mostly good taste
Why'd they even bother with Togedemaru, Mimikkyu is the only pikaclone we need
They're going to release a Pikaclone each gen from now on that has a different secondary typing until they're all used up. Then in Gen 22 or whatever they'll come out with a new baby Pokemon that can evolve into any of them (except Plusle, Minun, and the Pikachu family). That way they can just have one wild pikaclone per game while still including them all in the wild. Screencap this and save it for 40 years until I'm proven right.
>>27149014
Emolga was the mechanic starchild of coward moves. Gen 4's bs u turn and volt switch.
Pachirisu.... Got me... all I know is gen 4 was dry on electric types, pika line... Shinx line, and pikaclone...
>>27153004
Actually... Does any pikaclone learn bite moves? Super fang etc...
>>27152519
Don't worry the entire dex will be pikaclones in a few generations.
Chris-chan playthrough when?
>>27153027
I think Pachirisu does
Mimmikyu is Ghost Fairy right?
What are the Type disadvantages then? I cant into Type Advantages and disadvantages really much
>>27153346
Is weak against Steel and Ghost only.
It resists Bug (x4).
Inmune against Fighting, Dragon and Normal.
Neutral everything else. Maybe I forgotten another resist but I'd say that's it.
>>27149073
the poll was for the pokemon who would get the next event
why arceus came 2nd
>>27153027
the squirrel does but the flying squirrel does not
>>27153346
The only Pokemon right now that resists the dual STAB is Litleo/Pyroar. A Normal/Poison or Normal/Steel would, too.
For itself, it's weak to Steel and Ghost only. The Dark weakness of Ghost is neutralized by Fairy. The Poison weakness of Fairy is neutralized by Ghost.
It's immune to Fighting, Normal, and Dragon. It 4x resists Bug. It 2x resists nothing.
So, to recap:
4x weak: --
2x weak: Ghost, Steel
2x resist: --
4x resist: Bug
Immune: Dragon, Fighting, Normal
Really good typing. However, they could easily make a change to Fairy's type interactions this gen. It could a situation like what happened to Honedge again.
>>27149073
>people posting this list thinking it's a popularity list
It's a list of what you want to be distributed at an event, so obviously event-only mons and other rare mons will be at the top. Pikachu's probably there so people can see what kind of bullshit move they'll give to it next.
>>27150196
>Nothing about their designs hint to it.
How does Dedene hint at being a fairy? As far as I know it could be a pure electric and still make the design work.
Who cares about shitty electric rodent clones when the perfect one was here from the start?
>>27153585
It was marketed as a Fairy type when it was revealed, so you know immediately that it was a Fairy type. Discernible.
Pachirisu and Emolga weren't marketed as le rustling grass mon or le gender differences mons.
>>27153660
yeah but emolga,dedene and Togedemaru have better typing
>>27153780
Raichu has a better moveset and is actually very strong in the official format, those two don't come close to it. We'll see about the steel fatty one.
>>27153829
yeah raichus pretty good
>>27148256
It's fur is steel wool?
I hate this thing so fucking much.
>>27153701
But your original point was about its design, not about how it was marketed
>>27149285
What's that orange Fakemon next to Dedenne?
>>27154081
>>27150196
>>immediately discernible/marketed
Uhh
