What is the reason for their freakishly diverse moveset? That's

>>28292333
Fuck that.

What's the reason for Nidoking not being able to fug his queen?

Inspired by Kaiju
The same reason Tyranitar, Rhydon, Aggron, etc are like that

Who cares? When you have a Sheer Force Pokémon able to learn Ice Beam, Flamethrower and Thunderbolt! You don't fucking question it anonita!

>>28292385
He likes em tight

>>28292385
They can fug all day without worrying about pregnancy

>>28292333
Newer normal types are not allowed to have a diverse movepool for some reason

>>28292333
ground and poison types have bigger movepools in general.

it's that simple. Nidoking is BOTH ground and poison.

like, look what Muk and Weezing can learn. Electro attacks, Fire attacks, Plant attacks...

on top of that Nidoking can learn Water attacks despite being weak to water.

>>28292333
>What is the reason for their freakishly diverse moveset?

I think it was the first pokemon (or line) they ever programmed. that's why.

Nidoran is just as important for the series as Gengar and Pikachu because it kinda started out with those.

>>28292901
No that was Rhydon

Honestly a Mega Nidoking with Sheer Force and just more Speed and Special Attack would be amazing, especially considering his movepool coverage.

>>28292401

This

But also, the lower-stat mons often have wider movepools as a sort of balancing factor.

Wew.

>>28292333
They evolve using moon stones they're related to clefairy/jigglypuff just looks and jiggs evo wigglytuff it's a bunny like the nido line

>>28294186
>energy ball jellicent

stupidest shit ever

>>28294521
let me guess, the nidos are also based off that "Rabbits are from the moon" stuff, which is why the require moon stones to evolve, right? moon stone only makes sense for Clefairy in gen 1 though.

>>28294567
Wait what "rabbits are from the moon" thing? Plz explain k thanks. Also jiggs looks closely related to clefairy so i buy that buuut i agree on the nido line. It was the first game so they probably didn't know where they were going with it. Not that many cool sun stone pokemon to counter the moon

>>28294597
im no japanese expert but Japanese folklore has stuff relating to rabbits and the moon

also in anotehr story, the Marill line and mega Mawile getting huge power when pure power does the exact same thing, that is also because Marill and mega Mawile are rabbits or something. ask japan

I thought more than anything the Nidorans are based on Baragon

Woah i never knew now i like rabbits even more!

>>28294666
This the most bunny looking pokemon ever his evos and female counter parts don't capture that bunny essence as much though

>>28294705
it's more like a rabbit turning into godzilla-like dino

>>28294840
And that's why i love him. Although his ears kinda bug me (nidoking's)

According to the Japanese, the darker spots on the moon look like a rabbit smashing rice with a mallet.

>>28292385
he can fug her perfectly, nidoqueen has the problem by being an sterile bitch

>>28294916
Is this for serious

Grass exclusive rice rabbit for moon when?

>>28294666
stfu satan

Gen I mons typically have pretty crazy move pools.

its a kaijumon. kaijus have all sorts of fire/electric/radiation beams, they summon waves and shit. that's why him, kangaskhan and rhydon even learn surf.

>>28294705
it's not a rabbit. its baby baragon

It's clearly a fucking rabbit

>>28294916
This is also the origing for the Huge Power and rabbits things.

In Japanese, the ability is called Chikaramochi, literally "Muscleman", but it can also be read as "Chikara mochi", meaning Mochi Strength.
Mochi is a type of sweet made smashing rice with a wooden mallet, just like the moon rabbit.

>>28294989
Despite the fact that they were only learnable from TMs and TMs were incredibly limited.

>>28295063
So that's why Azumarill has Huge Power.

are you blind? nidoran looks a lot more than the pic on the left than the one on the right. and that's not even mentioning that its final evolution is straight up a baragon rippoff.

>>28295063
and yet nidorans dont get it because they arent rabbits

>>28295133
It's anatomy is clearly a fucking rabbit with spikes since its poison yes i see where you're coming from but its a bunny

>>28292333
why does nidokings have to have such crummy stats I would main one if they werent so weak compared to other level 100 pokemon

>>28292333
Every Pokemon's moveset is part of their design. The moves made available to them are to illustrate or emphasise (or parody) that which they are designed to represent. Gen1 designs are a little more all over the place and baseless. Nidoran lines are rabbit-Baragon things. The moves represent that.

That's it.

>>28295133
Lopunny doesn't get Huge Power because it isn't a rabbit too

Pokemon can have more than one inspiration though. I'm not sure why people have forgotten this. Sneasel is a black cat and weasel. Croconaw is a caveman and crocodile

He is a cuck

>>28295443
Sure, but you're still a muppet if you think any of said inspiration is a rabbit.

>>28295443
sure, it might take some anatomy cues from rabbits but the primary basis of this line is undeniably baragon

it just gets annoying when you hear people over and over say that nidoran is a rabbit pokemon

im >>28295342 >>28295133 >>28294995
this >>28295578 isnt me btw

>>28295578
I can't really argue for it, I was mainly defending the possibility of multiple inspirations.

>>28295698
Oh.
Yeah. Kaiju is clearly its "main" inspiration, at least once it hits final form

>>28292401
They are also moon rabbits

>>28295854
I cant stand moonrabbit fags

HURR NIDORAN IS THE MOON RABBIT
HURR WIGGLYTUFF IS THE MOON RABBIT
HURR UMBREON IS THE MOON RABBIT
HURR AZUMARILL THE MOON RABBIT
Before Lunaala was revealed you fags were even claiming the moon legendary would be a fucking moon rabbit
