It's not too late gamefreak
The game isn't out yet, you can still change araquanid to not be the worst fully evolved gen 7 pokemon. We believe in you, make it happen.

Ohmori has a fetish for making shitmon it's not going to change. He likes it this way.
>>29833070
Is its SpD not worth anything?
>>29833204
Its SpD is pretty good, but its movepool is the problem. It gets that new water attack that lowers defense. If it gets Leech Life that could be fun. It doesn't get Sticky Web IIRC, so its utility is further limited. Shame, really. It has an awesome design. Probably gonna be a standard toxic stall thing otherwise.
>>29833368
It have sticky webs, but its offenses are pretty shit imo
>>29833204
no good moves, ability is mediocre, and all its other stats are shit
it's a fucking spider pokemon and they didn't even give it sticky web
>>29833070
There's still emergencypod so fire resistant bug is fine
>>29833368
It does get Leech life, and Lunge
>>29833204
Literally ledian 2.0.
It may have good sp def, but it's HP sucks. And even if it can wall a special attacker, it has very little to do with those free turns. can't even set up sticky web
>>29833070
Use Lunge you doofus. It's its signature move for a reason.
>>29833385
>It have sticky webs
are you SURE
It does have spider web, but I haven't seen sticky web anywhere
>tfw my top 5 gen 7 designs (this, Golisopod, Guzzlord, Dhelmise, and Vikavolt) all got cucked in some way
Thanks, Ohmori.
>>29833497
How did Dhelmise get cucked? It's better than Decidueye in every way
>>29833510
Got screwed out of a better type combo like Ghost/Water with Steelworker.
>>29833510
Shit move pool
Ohmori needs to be fired.
>>29833385
It can trap in two ways (Infestation is probably dumb but whatever) and then repeatedly Lunge to lower a physical attacker's Attack stat. It would be able to get kills with whatever sources of residual damage you can pile on. It's also just good enough at Mirror Coating to be a nasty thorn for special attackers - they can't OHKO it, and they'll take quite a lot in return despite what you may think from its stats.

>>29833368
N-not even sticky web?
Holy shit.
I love the design so I will use it on my playthrough, it might be the only place were it might do something sometimes
>>29833562
>Shit move pool
nigga what
it has power whip, gyro ball, anchor shot, EQ, shadow claw, rapid spin, swords dance, rock slide, etc
what more do you need
>>29833436
I'm pretty sure they will give it as a move tutor move, but it's gonna be a long time until then. Hopefully Follow Me and other mives as well.

>Ledian 2.0
Lol no. Unlike Ledian, Araquanid actually has an attacking stat that it can use as mediocre as it might be. And its typing is actually decent for a defensive mon, unlike Bug/Flying. Plus, its ability makes it (somewhat) Fire resistant and can't get burned either and can pass it down to other via Entrainment. Would be fun on Scizor or Ferrothorn.
It's no way near as bad as Ledian, no pokemon will ever be as bad as it.
amazing stats, terrible design, it's not fair
