WHY do they do this?
>>26003200
I hope his mega gives him +50 defenses and Rock Head.
>>26003200
Emboar is supposed to be Infernape 2.0 but Trick Room style
>great special attack, solid stats all around aside from attack
>barely learns any good STAB special moves, yet learns fuck tons of high damaging physical moves
What's the point then?

I'm not seeing the problem with this one
>>26003524
Except Poison and Steel are only good at being special mon.
>>26003499
It has good special STAB. Just shit special movepool outside of STAB
>>26003543
Scizor and lucario say otherwise.
>>26003094
>Specially oriented Normal-type
>Physical Electric-type
>Special Rock-type
why are these things allowed to exist
>>26003564
Only special Lucario uses Steel STAB m8
>>26003543
What?
Just about all Steel types are physical, and they're pretty good at it too.
>>26003543
the number of physical steel-types far exceeds the number of special steel-types, which is just Magnezone and Heatran. I excluded Lucario and Cobalion because they can go either way.
however, you're right in that all the poison-types worth shit are special, with the exception of bughorse, beedrill and toxicroak 9who also learns nasty plot so that might be a moot point)
>>26003607
Forgot Empoleon. Jirachi is in the same camp as Lucario and can go either way.
If you're including ubers then I guess you have a point since Aegislash, Dialga and Genesect would enter the fold
>>26003564
>>26003607
Too bad most steel moves are special.
>>26003295
Poor Arbok.

Thinking of taking pokémon to /k/ and drawing a comparison to world weapons, things like tsar bomba in Ubers, just for perspective on how stupid this is
>>26003589

and ledian

Lucario, Aggron, Toxicroak, and Scizor all disagree.

Why hate on Porygons? They don't suck.

>>26007412
literally just cacturne and sharpedo
>>26003366
Special Steel is complete crap, Flash Cannon sucks. Iron Head, on the other hand, is really great on fast Pokemon, while Gyro Ball and Heavy Slam have their niches.
>>26003567
>Exploud, Meloetta

Conceptually it makes sense, it's just that Ice type is absolute shit.
>defensive, physical grass-type
>no movepool
>ground as secondary type
>slow as hell
>attack is barely over 100 points
why
>>26011083
Arcanine is fucking amazing though.
>>26003161
If it's fast, or at least wears a scarf well, then there's nothing wrong with that.
>>26012793
Why would you use Arcanine offensively, and not to fuck up physical attackers?
>>26003094
>Amazing special movepool
>Shit sp atk
>>26003164
>abysmal defenses
>horrid hp
>>26003200
Because Emboar's concept is based around recoil attacks.
>>26003240
which mon is this? it isn't sceptile
>>26003288
sceptile knows leaf storm and dragon pulse, why would it need anything else?
>>26012896
The only thing I can think of that's not Deoxys-A is Ursaring.

Who?
I thought it might be Persian, but it's not really that slow.

Off the top of my head, Snorlax, Flygon, and Emboar work with those well enough.

1. Arcanine. If you want an offensive attacker, Victini, Damranitan, and Entei are better. If you want a defensive fire-type, Heatran, Rotom-H, or even Talonflame and Moltres.
2. Togekiss. Jirahi is better for Paraflinching bullcrap, Latias and many others are better for Defog, Talonflame and Gliscor works better as a stallbreaker, and Clefable/Sylveon is better if you just want something that can spam Fairy type attacks.
3. Jellicent. God tier typing, great movepool, decent stats, but there are so many better options for your bulky water type. Gastrodon walls Suicune better and also stops Volt-Turn dead in its tracks. Suicune walls everything else better. Rotom-W beats it out in OU. Sableye is superior as a defensive ghost. Even in RU, Jellicent's home tier, most people prefer Slowking or Alomomola.
