Is magcargo ok as an ingame pokemon playthrough? I'm thinking

>>25652124
Literally any pokemon is good in game

>>25652124
All Pokémon are acceptable.
How can you be a Pokémon Master, if you haven't train All Pokémon and capture them as well.

>>25652124
It's got alright stats and a pretty good level up movepool, but a really late evolve time makes it a pain in the ass to train. That being said, >>25652140 and >>25652246 are right in that you can use literally any pokemon in-game.

Personally I don't like using slow pokemon just because it makes the game more tedious.

TM92...

Not really a solution.

Trade someone to get it.

I'm guessing that you are not battle wise.

>>25652551
I'm not talking about competitive, just the regular game. Slow pokemon are tedious. You are almost guaranteed to take damage every turn. That means more trips to the pokecenter, more backtracking, more battles, etc.. The "solution" is just as tedious. Either teach trick room to all your pokemon or lead with the same pokemon every battle.

Not to mention fast wild pokemon who basically trap you if you just want to run away late-game. I love slow pokemon to death but using them regularly is tedious as fuck. Even the trick room solution sucks since TR has like, 5 PP I think? So you still have to make several trips to the pokemon center.

>You are almost guaranteed to take damage every turn
So, what? You shouldn't expect to win every fight in one hit. You're going to take hits one way or the other, pack a few potions and man up.
