He's as big as Salamence, and looks great

Cool, coherent design.

probably gets a decent moveset, and looks like he evolves later than the other early route bugs, so probably has decent/good stats.

like rowlet more, if one doesn't count starters and legendaries he's the best regular mon showed so far, even counting legends he's still better, with tapu a close second

I don't think I've ever been this into an early game 3 stage bug before. Mega Beedrill is cool but he didn't exist initially.
This is so much cooler than a generic butterfly.

^Official thread theme.

Anyway,

>Why is Vikavolt /vp/'s most beloved Alola 'mon?

Because he's a kuwagata/harrier-jet with a nose mounted yamato cannon.

Because I'm picking Litten and one of the first Pokemon I'll catch is going to learn Zap Cannon so basically any time I run into my rival it's just gonna be

I wonder if there are any Pokemon that have naturally learned Zap Cannon without learning Lock-On or similar moves?

Because Seltas mon

>>26941645
There's a few, but I'd be legit shocked if Vikavolt didn't learn, given the fighter jet theme.

Like that's full on "GAMEFREAK YOU HAD ONE JOB" territory if it doesn't.

>>26941392
Better question: why is drampa second?

>>26942054
1/2 of his votes probably watched the neverending story as kids or find him simpatic, other half thinks its dunsparce 2nd evolution

>>26941392
its possibly a competent early route bug

I'd be more surprised if it wasn't the most popular. It's fantastic in nearly every way.

>>26941392
Because Galvantula.

>>26942054
Drampa is a legitimately great design. Even if you don't like it, you feel the personality.

>>26941505
>Zap Cannon as a level up move on an electric type

YES YES, freaking finally, also it has a rail gun for mandibles. Favorite new Pokmon so far.

>>26941392
I love that it picks up Charjabugs and uses them as an additional power source, that makes so much sense.

It feels like the new Pokemon have a lot more flavor to them. It makes them feel more like actual creatures.

>>26942184
I like Drampa but I'm also really confused why so many think it's the best design.

>>26941392
hahaha Fuck all you faggots doubting our boy. Sleep Powder two turn Rail Gun NIGGGGAS

I still think Grubbin is going to evolve into different things depending on which island you're on. I believe it would take the primary type of whatever that island's guardian is.

That would be fantastic. I could use 3 more bugs for my first Alola team.

Bug version of Eevee is something I can get behind

>>26942563
literally what
are you alright anon

I hate Vikavolt, it's ugly

if the idea of a rail gun fighter jet stag beetle doesn't make your dick rock hard then you have issues

>>26944479
Then get off this thread.
