So is he shit? I really wanted to use one in my moon playthrought.

>>29787309
Sorry, it's pretty shitty. Especially compared to Daydog (who has better stat distribution).

It should be fine for a playthrough though. Just don't expect him to do well in competitive.

In comparison to the a good bit of gen 7? Nope. Scarfed rock slides/stone edges with no guard will be its future.

>>29787309
Competitively? Most likely yes.
for normal single player gameplay? you can use legitimately any pokemon if you have someone leveled adequately. This game is not difficult in the slightest.

>>29787309
It's perfectly fine for a normal playthrough of the single player.

doesn't look that good, which is exacly WHY you should use it for playthrough. Afterall in the competetive scene he wont do too well.

>>29787309
Still faster than almost everything else in Alola.

>there are people who avoid using pokemon they like ingame because their stats aren't amazing

now this is what I call autism

It's Pokemon. You could probably solo the game with a Sunkern. Just use whatever you want for the main story.

>>29787309
It will get better in the next pair of games. Having access to knock off, fire punch, super power, and more will save it

What are its exact base stats?

>>29787434
Throw in the elemental punches and drain punch too....and head smash egg move

>>29787499
85
115
75
55
75
82

basically tooks 30 points of speed from day dog(112) and made it...slightly bulkier with 10 points each in hp and the defenses

>>29787597
Oh and mega horn for obvious reasons

>>29787343
why rock slide? No Guard Stone Edge is way better

>>29787658
Doubles...and also flinchhax if the rng is generous

>>29787309
Competitive he might be alright

Ok stats and no guard stone edge with loads of coverage. That's a hidden ability though so he wont be that good in game playthrough

>>29787597
That's salvageable with a scarf or rock polish.

>>29787597
>one of the faster new mons
it'll be used

>>29787707
There's also the option of z move rock polish/swords dance to increase all stats by one

>>29787309
He's not that bad, you guys are just big babies

>>29787865
But anon speed is everything!...which isn't completely far from the truth but that sure as hell won't stop me from using it.

> One of the fatest mons in Alola
How sad is to say this

>>29787309
watch the champion fight and tell me he is shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxOty9ZaHI

>>29787897
It's not speed that's the issue, it's that most of them are mixed attackers with mediocre stats that ensure they get snapped like a twig to the current powerhouses.
Meanwhile there's some fantastic Pokemon like Toxapex, who along with Ferrothorn will be Skarmbliss 2.0.

>>29787794
That's not a bad idea. I might do that since I really like Terry Bogard wolf.

>>29787404

There are a bunch of Pokemon that are a complete slog to use either due to their level up movepool or their stat distribution that doesn't fave ingame.

I know for a fact that you never used a Shuckle in a non-modified ingame playthrough, and if you say you did, you're a liar.

>>29787309
Dies in a fucking breeze

Rockruff may as well be permanently benched until it levels because it''s even worse

where the fuck do you find him though

>>29787945
>despite being subpar at best nightruff manages to be better than the grass and fire starter stats wise

Someone fucked up the stats balance desu.

>>29787309
Man, I'm pissed that I can't trade this piece of shit for a day dog until the game comes out for real.

>>29787945
Pretty sure he was just being ironic about the speed thing

But anyway
>midnight form
>were wolf
>didnt get moonlight

>>29787897
its slow with no bulk, thats why its shit. Focus blasts coming at you with 100 accuracy after no guard just adds insult to injury

>>29787991
Ten Carat Hill. After you get the Tauros you can find the entrance near the brofessor's lab.

>>29788010
Again still faster than the majority of gen 7...somehow with a respectable 115 attack stat

>rockruff family has a 50%/50% gender ratio
Color me surprised. I was certain it was going to be a 87.5% male giftmon.

Look on the bright side. it's not poor mightyena.


Still surprised that neither dog learns play rough like many other dog mon

>Terry Bogard wolf
Thanks for further vindicating my choice of Moon

Does it get Rock polish?

Because double dance midnight sounds pretty fun

>>29788202
Yes to bulk up, rock polish, and swords dance for both dogs

does rockruff evolve through friendship or lvl?

>>29788197
Yeah I'm naming it BUSTA WULF.

>>29788274
25 during the day/night in sun/moon

>>29788197
Moonwolf should've got Guts so he could be BURNING

>>29787597
Throh is basically this compared to Sawk and it's way higher in tier ratings
Why is everyone saying it sucks?

>>29788325
Something something accelerock and not having 112 speed

>>29787597
come to think of it this is actually bulkier than a serperior. it's a bit slow and it's defesive typing isn't the best but it's 82 speed is sorta neat.

>>29788628
>95=75

nope

>>29788628
>85/75/75 is bulkier than 75/95/95

Be honest, how many times were you dropped on your head as a kid

>>29787981
Purrloin was fucking terrible even in-game

>>29788006
Can't you catch overrated sun dog in the wild?

>>29787309
its literally no guard stone edge the mon
just slap a scarf on it and spam stone edge

>>29788628
Senpai you got the numbers mixed up.

Oh hey it is slower and "bulkier" like werehog. neat.

>>29788325
throh has 120 and higher defences, lycanroc's bulk is pathetic

>>29789230
True but 82 speed certainly helps the mutt opposed to 40.
