>tfw favorite Pokémon sucks mega dick
Come post your favorite Shitémon with me
You already posted it, OP.
>>27514979
Tbh it would have been better if he took a break every two turns to differentiate him from slakoth.
I dunno he's pretty powerful statwise so they took the laziest route to balancing him.
i wish he was at least decent
The entire line is shit, but their my bros!
>favorite pokemon is unevolved
>second favorite is its evo
>evo does well enough in competitive apparently
Does this count?
>>27517224
I have a lot of fun with Jumpluff on Showdown. It has a lot of ways to rack up two swords dances, and once it does acrobatics from it hits like a truck.
>>27517191
Exploud getting Boomburst is the best shit to happen to him
Choice Specs destroys everything that isnt chancey
Probably crustle, never used him but people say he's shit. Plan on using him at some point.
>>27517254

Is Steelix considered shit?
>>27517465
fuck no, steelix is a beast
>>27517465
Nah, just one dimensional.
>>27517408
Choice Band Giga Impact kills everything
Evo when?
>>27517497
True, but with Giga Impact you can't switch out during the Truant turn due to the move's recharging which makes the big guy super easy to revenge kill. And even then if the Pokemon out has protect or they have a ghost type they can switch to it isn't even a guaranteed 1 for 1
>>27517545
Sadly True. At least there's always doubles shenanigans
>>27517465
Generally, even for all his bulk he's really frail even to physical attacks which is weird.
He has no means of recovery and that's his biggest weakness.
>>27517125
Only good for mindbreak porn.
>>27517958
Sad but true. I have a soft spot for the guy because he fucking carried me through the E4 and champ back in Red as a kid. Hypnosis + Dream Eater was the real deal.
>>27514979
That fucking Cooltrainer duo, that's some evil shit GameFreak.
>>27517465
Not shit, but there's definitely this looming sense of something to be desired. If it's ability wasn't sand force and actually something useful, or it had recovery, itd be absolutely fantastic.
Is this considered shit ?
>>27517191
>>27517254
>>27517344
Exploud is a prime candidate for a Mega.
>>27517465
Why give it Rock Head if it didn't learn Take Down as well as Double-Edge? Why give it the elemental fang attacks when it's too slow to take advantage of flinching, or for that matter even being able to land supereffective hits without Grass and Water types 1HKOing it anyways?
Shedinja is so cute and unique, but it's literally useless as long as Stealth Rock is a thing that exists.
>>27518057
Gastrodon does really well when used in OU.
>>27518067
Which is why Sheddy loves Ubers. The fact that it hard walls Xerneas and Kyogre, and beats Mewtwo, Deoxys, and can fuck up Aegislash's day is just icing on the cake.
RELICANTH
I love this dude to death, he's one of my top bros next to whimsicott
If it's got a niche, you can use it. Ursaring's niche is hitting like two trains from opposite directions. Or I guess becoming moderately quick and hitting like one train.
Mine is Poliwrath. Well he's not completely awful. He's just not very good either..
>grass type
And there you go.
Maybe a alola form or mega can save it...not that vileplume would get either.
>>27518195
God, along with the hoppip line, the oddish line is up there with them, being like opposites in gen 1/2, I love both, but why do both have to suck?
>>27518195
Vileplume is another favourite of mine. It's really a shame that they even had the gall to put in Amoongus with a straight face.
Honestly don't know why they do this shit. They could have just buffed Vileplume and made an entirely different Pokemon.
>>27518265
GF fucking loves to make absolutely garbage designs. make them OP as fuck, and forget about the like 200-300 pokemon that are deserving of a buff.
We need some stat overhauls, that aren't megas and are more than +10 to whatever stat.
>>27518265
>Vileplume gets +20 base HP, +15 to both defences, and +5 to SpA. Wat do?
sigh
its never getting an evolution is it
>that one favorite who actually was in the meta at one point
Who is it /vp/?
I fucking love this guy and seeing any kind of bullshit that keeps him relevant makes me happy even if it only is stupid gimmicks.
>>27518327
I don't do competitive but I hear this guy appears now and then for a month or two at a time
>>27514979
JUST
>>27518296
Nothing because it doesn't have fucking RE GENERATOR.
>>27518350
>I don't do competitive but I hear this guy appears now and then for a month or two at a time
Unaware gives him a pretty good niche
Such a clever design wasted.
>>27518327
Shreckle is the best stallmon, even now its glorious.
>>27517125
>Tied special attack with oddish
>>27514979
i love marowak but god damn he's slow and useless. rock polish would give him so much viability.
Jumpluff has been my bro since Gen II. Too bad its not great, infiltrator isn't too bad on it.
>>27518469
Nigga can't stay alive for one turn, the biggest glass cannon i've ever had to deal with.
>fav isn't a final evolution
I don't care what you guys say, he's better then wrath and toad.
>>27518477
>>27517224
My nigga I feel you
>>27518464
How did Game Freak justify a bone-club dinosaur being able to learn Ice Beam?
>Dunsparce
>>27518477
Feels like most of Johto got forgotten. Most of that gen needs some love.
>>27518521
Probably the same reason everyone and their mother can learn Thunder Wave
He's better than he used to be. At least now his moves don't all use his godawful SAtk stat
>>27518531
It's okay when most every mon can learn certain moves like Natural Gift or Rest, but some moves are pretty excessive.
>>27518509
No, Politoad is the greatest of all mon.
>>27518542
>he
>>27518542
Competitivly he still sucks, but Hitmonchan is fucking amazing in a playthrough. Hitmonchan gets most of his best toys standard, and early.
>>27514979
He's my absolute favorite too. He'll get that mega that doesn't have Truant someday, bro, someday.
>>27518573
>but Hitmonchan is fucking amazing in a playthrough
True, he carried me through X like a champ.
>>27518586
I added one to my AS party at the last second, and it soloed the E4, Champ, and the Delta episode. It was actually a tad underlevelled, and had no special Egg/Dexnav traits. Just literally my mom's Hitmonchan.
The First Shiny i ever caught was a dunsparce
my first shiny was a shitty pokemon i can never show off in battles
Maybe not shitty, but I certainly wouldn't pick it over Victreebel or Sceptile. For how badass it looks, it's just kind of a disappointment.
I really like it's design and I want a good speedy ice sweeper but sadly ice sucks and froslass's stats also suck.
>>27518871
Yep, pretty much ice-types as a whole. Defensively 'bout the worst type out there. Kind of the glass cannon of the Pokemon world.
>>27517545
That is why I pair it with spooky pumpkin in triples.
Ghost/Normal is OP.
>>27518136
>Or I guess becoming moderately quick and hitting like one train.
or use him in trick room teams with Hammer Arm to outspeed everything without priority. He is a good side mon that can OHKO common middle mons like Sylveon.
please sir, may I have a move
>>27518101
>Sheddy loves Ubers
He fucking performs better in AG than in ubers.
There's almost not a single viable ubers team without at least one stealth-rock user for fuck sakes...
I love niche pokemons, I love shedinja, but it's absolutely dead in Ubers.
>>27518871
>>27518958
This.
Besides that, Lilligant. It's not necessarly a shitmon, I guess, since I wrecked everything in game with my Lilligant but I don't see pure grass types being too viable.
>>27514979
>Favorites are Chomp, Mawile, Shaymin, Rotom, and Victini
>none of them are shitmon
Mawile was shit for a long time but managed to finally reach into good tier. I hope your favorite shitmons one day become relevant /vp/.
>>27514979
Vigoroth, meaning even if someday Slaking gets buffed, my little bro will forever be a shit.
Still good enough to beat the entirety of Oras though.
>>27517314
It is a bretty gud shell smasher.
>>27514979
Alolan Slaking dream senpai
gets thick fat and is a legendary mon
No idea how he holds up competitively but I always felt he was outclassed. I use him for rocks and thunderwave, and on occasion a "taking you with me" head smash. But back in the day he got me through alot of Sapphire by himself.
I've always felt Raichu was outclassed by almost other Electric type.
>>27517511
Does the tesunoko have a second stage?
>>27514979
Someone got top 10 on the OU ladder with a team centered around Slaking. It is good, but very hard to use.
>>27517591
>even for all his bulk he's really frail even to physical attacks
Confirmed for never having used a Steelix.
Use the guy all the time. The way he tanks physical hits is downright ridiculous.
>>27518469
>mamoswine is shit
Dude, you're terrible at this game. It has two of the best STABs in the game, monstrous Attack, perfect speed for a Scarf, a useful ability, and fairly nice bulk.
>>27518503
You're terrible, too. Mamo is not a glass cannon, even with its Ice typing.
>>27518362
yes
>>27518469
The original dragon slayer.
I still use it from time to time.
>>27518057
Gastrodon is my nig in Platinum. Having Ice Beam on him was my only chance of tackling Cynthia's Garchomp.
>>27520542
I was comparing his Gen II and IV remake moveset and it's leagues apart. He learns all of his natural moves in HG/SS before learning Flamethrower at fucking level 60 in the originals. At least he could optimally use Thunderpunch with his high Special before the split.
>>27518530
>dunsparce could fly
What the fuck?
how do i make it good ?
>>27526276
give it lots of love and support
>>27522201
This. Between him and pic related, my Kanto team usually sucks ass in competitive battling
>>27518565
>not he
>>27518871
weavile's a pretty good speedy ice sweeper
Gamefreak/Nintendo PLZits not the slowbro or lotad
>>27518871
Froslass is not anywhere near shitmon levels, you idiot.
>>27522771
Mummy-Trapping I guess, giving mummy to Slaking not only nullifies his bad ability, but it can also shut down some physical attackers that relies on their abilities.
My absolute favorite mon
He's not total shit but I sure wish he was better
Is Rampardos shit? I fear Rampardos is a shitmon.
>>27528082
Pretty alright on rain teams though, one of my favourites too
Meanwhile there's basically no redeeming pic related
I just want to be half as good as I am adorable, is it too much to ask?
Please just give me some stats.
>>27528722
yeah swift swim makes him work in a rain team, the only way almost
>>27527661
>>27528722
>>27528741
Thread's over, doesn't get worse than these two.
>>27514979
Fucking Double Battles, my friend...
I used Slaking in some B/W 2 torunaments, and I can say you that Slaking raped a lot of mons. You have a lot of options to bypass his ability.
>>27517191
In the 6th gen, is more than decent.
How's Donphan? Is he shit? I always felt like he was pretty mediocre, but I've loved his design since he first appeared in whichever movie that was.
>>27518067
He's some kind of my signature Pokemon.
I use Shedinja in at least 2 tournaments in each generation. Sometimes they kill him pretty fast, and sometimes... Fucking magic happens.
>>27528817
I disagree.

At least you were featured in a Pokestars movie and took over the world.
Ariados gets nothing.
>>27528983
We're talking about their role in the meta more or less, in casual playthroughes of the story nearly any pokemon can be used.
>7 weaknesses
>33 speed
>barely anything to take advantage of hail
He looks so cool though :'(
>tfw favorite Pokémon sucks mega dick
iktf
>>27529045
So am I
>>27518006
Almost ended my nuzlocke.
>>27518057
Nope.
This guy in-universe is supposed to be super fast, but his speed stat doesn't reflect this. I feel like he'd be in OU if they bumped it up to 120 or something. Either way, Growlithe and Arcanine are my absolute favorite, they're so cool they just need a buff.
>>27522201
>>27526376
Good taste though
>>27529372
Well then, either you play idiots or you're lying.
>>27529693
You can win with anything anon just git gud
>>27529234
Im using one on runthru of x and it faints like every battle lmao
I wish he was even remotely viable. Give his mega adaptability (cause octopus)
>>27526276
Oh it's pretty easy:you can't
>>27527661
Fucking this
>>27528082
Wasn't kabutops one of the reasons smogon had to ban swift swim+drizzle?
At least it's an actual Fairy now?
>>27528881
Could be better but it's not bad. It's not sandslash at least
>>27529234
Trick room
It's not fair, man.
>>27530399
Also my fav.
>>27530399
I know your pain, brother.
They never should have tried to even out his offense and should have just made him a full on wall.

>can't even into OU

It's okay Bellossom, I still think you're great ;_;
>>27530710

>>27517511
I remember back when I didn't know much about pokemon grinding him till lvl 80ish to the hope that he would evolve into something cool. Never did. Looked it up and felt dumb afterwards. Still have the little guy in my pokemon white
>>27518101
>not running physical rock slide xern
He's what first attracted me to Pokemon back in 1998 and I'll stick by him forever.
>>27517127
yes
>>27518062
grass?
>>27517224
Its not bad, its just Whimsicott is better
>>27518785
Good taste. We'll probably get an Alola form somehow. Tropius needs more love.
>>27532729
it needs a longer neck
>>27532763
>tfw you realize Alola Executor confirms Tropius will be ignored this gen.
Delibird has been my bro for a while
These guys.
I hope they'll get some love in S/M, but knowing GF I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get shit.
>>27518713

Such shitty stats

He'll always be the best to me.
So weird that a pokemon that a pokemon depicted as relax and friendly like poliwhirl evolves into a macho pokemon like poliwrath.

You gotta be trolling right
>>27514979

C-can I salvage it?
>>27538619
You're in the same boat as >>27537422
>>27538460
Same, always though he was one of the cooler dinosaur inspired pokemon. And any pokemon that supplies food without requiring you to eat the pokemon itself is cool.
Deserves a new form/mega. Also a better 3d idle animation.
>>27518521
>tauros can learn ice beam, solar beam, thunder, earthquake, rain dance, blizzard, sunny day, fire blast, flamethrower, rock tomb, Wild charge, surf, and sandstorm by TM

>>27538051
You are joking, right?
R-right?
>>27514979
I don't know anything about Gardevoirs moves or anything. I haven't played in quite a long time and never really tried to be good at the game. I just saw this thread and thought I'd share.

I liked it. Cool and unique tying. Defensive mon with Suction Cups, can also try to setup with Curse. Likes Sandstorm. Forever NU in competitive.

pic related. Why is a special attacker even rock type?
>>27545365
Aolan Sudowoodo maybe?
>>27539859
Fairy type made Gardevoir viable in gen 6. It still has exploitable flaws like it's underwhelming speed and defense, but it's no longer a lesser Alakazam.
>>27549577
Its supposed to be the special equivalent of Solrock but they do really need to make more special rock attacks.
>>27514979
Is that Harambe?
