Protean

>>29712587
Sorry, too slow to give a shit.

>>29712587
Even if it's slow it is still the best starter. Delusional barafags and mermaidfags celebrating too soon.

Decidueye's HA will be the best. Watch it get Protean or something

>>29712587
Gale Wings or Speed boost

>>29712612

>He thinks Protean will save it

>>29712612
>it gets Keen Eye

>>29712587
nope, the only reason Greg Ninja got that was because its an amphibian.

>>29712621
I genuinely do hope it gets gale wings. Getting a priority boost on non-stab moves would be the final arrow in the coffin.

>>29712612
man, you guys are really desperate.

>>29712587
you know its gonna be keen eye...

>>29712612
Why would it get Protean? Gale Wings maybe, still doubtful.

>>29712587
None of the starters are going to get Protean. They're going to get Battle Bond.

>>29712646
Honestly, I hope GF ignores flavor in favor of giving Decidueye a powerful ability like Protean, no matter how "unfitting" it might be.

Stay BTFO.

>>29712621
You need decent speed to make either of those good.

>yfw it's too slow and will get killed before it uses protean

>>29712689
Why would GF give the favorite starter a shitty ability like Sniper?

>>29712587
>Let's give it Protean to remove Ghost typing immunities.

>>29712763
>Let's give it Protean to remove Dark typing immunities.
>Protean is good for frail mons

See? I can do that too.

>>29712587
>Implying Protean can save a slow Pokémon

It barely moved Kecleon up a tier.

>>29712758
Why would GF give the "favourite" starter a shit stat spread?

But that's not Incineroar.

How shitter can it get?

>MUH STATS
>YOU CAN ONLY LIKE IT IF ITS OU

any one seriously dumb enough to let its viability change their opinion on it needs to off themselves
same goes for all the faggots that jumped on the bandwagon when it was confirmed ghost instead of flying so had a chance to be decent and suddenly loved it

Oh yeah, and it'll get priority moves for every type!

>>29712612
>this amount of denial

Holy shit. The reason why Protean works with Greninja it's because it's fast and can outspeed common mons in it's tier.

Giving it Protean will not save it, it will be killed before it even has the chance to attack and activate it.

>>29712788
Protean IS good for Greninja because it's frail and has decent speed. You fail.

>>29712794
There's nothing bad about being slow. It's still likely that Decidueye will be a powerful tank with great offenses.

>>29712836
>great offense
It has middling attacking stats and middling defensive stats.

>>29712836
>great offenses
>on a starter
>even so, grass/ghost, a shit defensive typing
just fucking get over it, it's a shitmon. we've had a lot of shitty starters before

>>29712814
This. I chose Rowlet at the reveal, and have stuck with it ever since. Glad I did, too. I gotta say, despite the bitching all three camps are doing over each other, this gen probably has my favorite starter designs, along with Gen 3.

DELET THIS

Mammals > everything else

All is right in the world

>>29712870
NO

What if its HA is battle bond and it change to Dragon/Fairy with 600 BST?

The possibilities are ENDLESS!

Rowletfags want this to be Greninja soooo bad. Too bad that ain't happening LMAO!

What I'm wondering is why /vp/ cares about OU now. I thought you fags loved to bash smogon for that?

>>29713045
Its called bait.

Seems to me that people only play Pokémon for competitive battling. It must suck to only like Pokémon for their stats. Ignorance sure is bliss.

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

>>29713121
Keep your ways, Karenfag.

>>29712685
Protean isn't strong on it's own anon. It needs the speed to back it up otherwise it's going to be easy to read and will go down like a sack of potatoes.

>>29713125
He didn't post with a trip though.

>>29712685
You shitters represent everything wrong with pokemon.

Goddamnit he fell for it

Namefags are still bad but you should know the difference

OP here, don't want to post much more but I'll nickname my pikachu for whoever gets trips

>>29712587

Give it Tinted Lens and the only thing stopping it's STAB moves will be Sap Sipper normies.

>>29713636
And the fact that it's slow as fuck and can't take a hit.

Pretty much this. We already know what happens when a slow pokemon gets Protean. And a higher attack stat still won't be much help.

If it's going to be useful, it will need some amazing defensive ability or damage boosting ability, which will probably never happen because it's an archer.
But hey at least it's not Grass/ Flying
