Is it cheating to use a Drapion on a mono-Bug team?

Yes because it's not a bug

>>28645511
Yes because it is not bug type.

>>28645511
No, because it's not a bug type.

>why you using a drapion, that isn't a bug?
>bugs you, doesn't it?
>trollface

Yes because it's a bug

>>28645511
Aaron uses one so why not

Can I use Flygon. It's literally an antlion.

>>28645529
>>28645530
>>28645543
Yeah, but E4 Bug guy uses one

>>28645620
No, it is a reptile-like that displays characteristics resembling an antlion.

>>28645804
He's a bug specialist but isnt running a mono bug team.

>>28645974
I wonder how that even works in terms of body composition. Does it develop an endoskeleton when it evolves from Skorupi?

>>28645511
Come on, OP

>>28645804
By that logic, Steelix, Drifblim, and Lopunny are Fire types.

>>28646019
Not necessarily.
Skorupi is a bug type pokemon, not a real bug.

>>28645547
Are you 11?

>>28646482
Drapion evolves from Skorupi, who is a Bug type and would be viable for a mono Bug team. It just swaps out the Bug for Dark type when it evolves.

Steelix, Drifblim and Lopunny didn't evolve from, evolve to, or are associated with the Fire type.

>>28646545
Flint uses all three of those

>>28646592
>People defend Diamond and Pearl

Aaron is a bug specialist not a bug-type specialists. Drapion is a bug but not bug-type.

no.

>>28646019
Lots of non-Bug Types like Crabrawler and Kingler are still arthropods.

>>28646592
Oh, I didn't know. Flint sounds like a dumbass

I use Ditto on my mono-water team because it's shiny. It's blue.

So therefore water-type.

>>28646545
Yea but in platinum they become the E4 becomes mono-type and the bug still uses drappion

>>28647461
And? Lance uses Gyarados.

>>28647515
Lance is flying type specialist

>>28647515
AND Aerodactyl.

Teams based on themes are the best and would rather have gyms have their own instead of solely being type-based

>>28647551
He's a dragon master and makes a point to tell you how he believes them to be the superior type.

>>28647515
>>28647589
It's for gameplay purposes. Would you rather fight a team of six Dragonite?

>>28647912
Dragonair
Dragonair
Dragonite
Kingdra
Gojirante

Bam, Gen 1 is saved.

>there were so few fire-types in sinnoh the trainer who was supposed to specialized in fire-types only had two fire-types

Anon, I...

>>28650114
Exactly. They shouldn't have cut som many from the original 200+ planned for Gen 1.
