I liked him before you faggots started creaming yourselves

>>29911315
>him

>>29911315
He was my favourite when the Dex was first leaked, and even still when we thought he was a Ledian.

>>29911315
should have been bug/psychic brainbug

Same, also liked anchorbro. Too bad they were mostly overlooked due to Golisopod.

>>29911315
Same OP

Needed a Water type, and Bubble Buddy was the best choice for my team, hands down.

252+ Atk Water Bubble Araquanid Waterfall vs. 248 HP / 96+ Def Mega Venusaur: 67-79 (18.4 - 21.7%) -- possible 5HKO
252+ Atk Araquanid Leech Life vs. 248 HP / 96+ Def Mega Venusaur: 58-70 (15.9 - 19.2%) -- possible 6HKO
0 SpA Mega Venusaur Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Araquanid : 76-90 (22.3 - 26.4%) -- 13% chance to 4HKO
0 SpA Mega Venusaur Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Araquanid : 91-108 (26.7 - 31.7%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

lmao @ ur life

>>29911315
>power
where exactly?

>inb4 rofl water bubble boost

>>29911409
literally scores a 2HKO on anything that isn't Toxapex or Slowbro

>>29911444
What are you talking about? It has garbage stats outside of decent Sp.Def.

>tfw genuinely have to decide between Golisopod and Bubble-spider

>>29911701
Water Bubble also doubles the power of Water-type attacks and lowers the power of Fire-type moves done to the Pokemon and prevents the Pokemon from getting burned.

>>29911701

>he doesn't know

Its ability makes Water-type moves get boosted in power by x2.5 (double the power + STAB).

It's basically an Azumarill without Aqua Jet.

takes more than *50% of it's health

>>29911396
Or use Liquidation, which is stronger than Waterfall and iirc has a 100% chance to lower Defense

Wow,this thing is pretty big in game.Was expecting it to be smaller.

>tfw like it but I've already got Toxapex on my team and don't want two water types on

>>29911315
I liked him because he reminds me of Metroid.

>>29912114
What's it's height/weight?

>>29912108
Lunge (its signature Bug move) is 100% chance to lower Attack. Liquidation is a Water-type Crunch.

still looks like shit
design a realistic spider you fucking hacks

Is it x1.5 STAB x2 Water Bubble or just x2 Water Bubble like Adaptability but shittier cause only for one of it's types?

>>29911396
U fucking daft, bro?
252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Scald vs. 248 HP / 144 SpD Mega Venusaur: 74-87 (20.3 - 23.9%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Scald vs. 248 HP / 92 SpD Amoonguss: 105-124 (24.3 - 28.7%) -- possible 5HKO after Black Sludge recovery
252+ Atk Landorus-T Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 74-88 (22.1 - 26.3%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

Guess Keld and Lando ain't shit either.

Will he be OU lads?

>>29912204
5'11" IIRC. Tied with Pheromosa as 4th biggest Bug.

>>29911315
As soon as I saw it I wanted it on my team badly.

Might be a doubles staple, though.

>>29912239
Damn, bigger than the Manlet starters.

>>29912051
>>29911972

Well, I stand corrected. hot damn, that's an enormous boost. I thought it only had the Fire/burn resistance added.

Too bad I'm already sticking with Golisopod.

>>29912062
I mean, Emergency Exit basically makes it so he can use First Impression a bit more frequently. Only issue is he'll need some recovery, would likely really benefit from Wish support and leftovers might be mandatory.

>>29912236
Safe to say yes.

>>29912280
>RU UU
You're kidding right?

>>29912051
It doesn't say it adds 2 to STAB making it x2.5 does it ?

I thought it had 2x for water moves like most multipliers, so 2 x 1.5 = x3.0 for water moved

Araquanid literally has the cephalothorax and abdomen switched around.
Eight-legged designs tend to become very messy very fast.

>caring about natures on a playthrough

what if other abilities actually have random op effects in the game?

>>29912325
It's a worse Azumarill. Doesn't have Aqua Jet or Fairy typing

>>29911315
Same, I was planning on using him no matter what. Now I'll just be called a bandwagoner.

>>29912548
I get the feeling Steelworker, Full Metal Body, Shadow Shield, Beast Boost, and/or Prism Armor are hiding something.

>>29912351

That's a big popsicle

Probably not UU by usage, just might get banned from RU.

>>29912624
4U

That's how I felt about Wimpod. I knew I wanted him as my bro before Golisopod was revealed.

I mean, there's a faster water adaptability user in basculin, and basculin hasn't dominated any tier before.
Why is water bubble that much more hyped? Is it that much stronger or is burn immunity that much better?
Also, enjoy this comfy photo I found searching for another thread. I could find literally no results of guys carrying guys bridal style, google search even wanted me to change it to guy carrying girl bridal style, but the ultragay pokecommunity delivered when no pokemon was mentioned in the search
We've done good, my pokegay brethren

>>29912788
it doubles THEN adds in stab

>>29912788
>Why is water bubble that much more hyped?

Because the sole possessor of it also has pretty good defenses.

>>29912788
It's x2 BEFORE AND IN ADDITION TO STAB, not just a Water only Adaptability. In fact it can even be given to non-Water types.

>>29912788
It's hyped because the mon looked like total shit but now it has something going for it.

>>29912329

Your math makes more sense.

Steelworker is like Fairy Aura, and on top of that it also provides that boost to Pokemon that are already Steel type.
>>29912788
252+ SpA Choice Specs Keldeo Hydro Pump vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 295-348 (86.5 - 102%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Araquanid Liquidation vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 339-400 (99.4 - 117.3%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

Its a monster.

>>29911366
It's covered in fucking water bubbles anon. Thinking it wasn't going to be water wasn't just regular misprediction, it was complete retardation built from the ground up for Apple customers.

>>29912062
>Fake Out
Can't you just say Retalliate or Quick Attack instead of something that implies it has an amazing flinch effect that's literally the main component of the fucking Fake Out move?

Slightly reminiscent of Mirrodin in MtG, one of my favorite sets.

>>29912215
Lunge isn't signature

>>29912225
It's a doubling independent of STAB.
