Just started training one, please tell me it' worth it. It's cute/cool looking but fuck is it slow.
>>28018518
With personal experience using one, it's a little rough until it evolves and even then it's questionable. It has phenomenally high damage and a really interesting typing, but it's rather slow and a little too frail without eviolite which I definitely recommend using for it. It's not bad, and while I'm not sure if it has any competitive use I'd be surprised if it did.

I still cannot figure out why they made Delcatty so incredibly weak. Skitty was fairly rare in gen 3, too. I'd argue that it's even WORSE than Farfetch'd, and that's pretty sad for an evolved Pokemon.
>>28017251
Very true. It's probably the best answer to Greninja, too.
>>28024021
I love delcatty, but like quite a handful of other mons it just gets fucked by a horrible bst. hell even some significantly stronger ones like golurk just have confusing stat spreads or bsts
>>28018179
EVERY DAMN TIME
>>28020086
>Not using Hyper Beam Mega Pidgeot
>>28022577
The biggest irony of Heatmor is that Durant learns Dig naturally, and is faster, and Heatmor's defenses kinda suck... meaning that it can't even consume its own prey.
>>28021737
Next time I train a Cloyster I'm gonna name it Gilgamesh.
>>28024365
Yeah, they really shit the bed with Heatmor.
>>28020086
>shows picture of a plane using defensive flares
>>28024542
It's bizarre, because Durant, its rival, is actually fairly decent - speedy, hits hard if you'll forgive the Hustle miss, great typing. Sure, it crumples like a paper cup if you use Special moves on it, but that's hardly a killer - it's an excellent Scizor substitute for people who find Scizor to be too Smogon-y.
Then you look at Heatmor, which must have been designed at the same time and probably by the same people, and you see a Pokemon that is arguably worse than Simisear.
>>28024772
its nice to know that even bad pokemon can have their shining moments
Didnt hit that hard, they crunched my gengar everytime i wanted to level him, and it was a pain in the ass to train during his haunter/ghastly form.

Are you implying this place has some sacred user base? It's 85% tumblr, GOnormies and furries. Even /v/ is better.
I didn't have the Internet or reliable contact with friends when I was 13 playing Gen 3. I was leveling faggots for my Pokedex and hadn't beaten the Elite 4 yet so I didn't know Flygon existed.
When I saw Trapinch evolve into Vibrava I was really confused because he seemed like he'd turn into a generic ground type because of what Cacnea turned into. When he finally turned into Flygon he became my best bro the last 10 years.

Defeatism doesn't change his speed.
I run a bulky one, ST'd in HP and SpD, he can survive one SE hit and roost while my ally deals with whatever threat there is... once his HP is above 50% he's back to wrecking face.

>Toxicroak Substitute Set
That... sounds really useful. I'm currently building a poison team with a toxicroak on it, but I was running swords dance for buffing and drain punch for recovery. What other moves go well with sub / bulk?
>>28018102
Nice one bro
>>28028788
Ice Punch, Sucker Punch, and Drain Punch all work really well on him. It's a matter of what your team needs more though. Sucker+Drain Punch is typically what I run on a set, sucker punch helps clean up, and drain punch is decent recovery for once my rain runs out (This set was originally conceived for endless rain, but it works well enough even with the drizzle nerf).
it's definitely not as powerful as it once was, but with black sludge and dry skin, you can recover close to 25%~ of your maximum HP per turn, which makes it pretty easy to get a few bulk ups off and maybe set a substitute before you start unleashing hell. Like all good things, it will require some good play and prediction on your part to make it really shine.
>>28020754
Pachirisu can put one huge hole in one thing by cutting its HP in half, but its literally incapable of any form of damage beyond that.
Otherwise, it's a bulky Paralysis spreader.
4 Atk Life Orb Abomasnow Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Manectric: 174-205 (50.5 - 59.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after hail damage
A fucking base Manectric can survive 2 earth quakes with a max bulk + Chesto berry spread.
0 SpA Salamence Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 52 SpD Assault Vest Manectric: 142-168 (41.2 - 48.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
WOW MANECTRIC IS SO GOOD AT TANKING. it can eat Draco Meteors for days!
No, it's called stat investment and a good typing.
