So there's no chance this thing will be good right?
Pikaclones peaked at a whopping 431 BST in Dedenne. It's gonna be slow as tits with decent defenses, but no recovery, and an awful 4x ground weakness. Electric/Steel is good neutral coverage, but it will have mediocre SpA (again, Dedenne peaked with 81).
Will it have any niche at all? A low tier Spikes setter better than Ferroseed?

The only good pikaclones are the ones thstvarent electric type because they're not the mascot Mon and so are allowed to be good
I have hopes for Mimikyu
>>27938552
I'd say there's a slim chance, but I doubt it. Which is fine by me, it's cute as fuck and if it sucks shit then I'm not losing out too bad.

Who gives a fuck? It's just there to sell merch.

I like it so I care...

It's a ghost, which is way more likely than not to be shit. Don't get your hopes up too high.

I really like this guy
I've never used a pikaclone but I'll give it a try in SuMo
It has a chance. Iron barbs is a good ability and despite the ground weakness Electric/Steel is a pretty good typing. Definitely going to be better than Emolga

Didn't Pachiriu win 2014 or smthing
>>27939347
Well yeah but Raichu has also been used in VGC doesn't mean it doesn't need a bit more
>>27938578
Mimikyu has maximum 80 attack, it's going to work as a status inducer at best with its ability
>>27938552
I think it'll at least be better than most other Pikaclones. It has a great typing and Iron Barbs to boot
>>27939347
Yeah but it was only used because it had a niche as one of the only Follow Me users in VGC '14 which was Kalos Dex-only
Go! Togedemaru! Go and zap to the extreme!
