Unexpected Bros With Poison Touch and it's added Dark type

I really was not expecting to fight a trainer with a Grimer this early in the game especially considering I was picking Roothoot or Nothing.

Rowlet is the new charmander of RB

>>30029684
Toxapex pretty much carried my whole team through the Elite Four, even at 8-10 levels below its opponents.
The thing never dies.

>>30029684
This nigga saved my ass during the Ilima and Totem Raticate battle.

>>30029927

I traded the pokecenter lady for machop before I did that challenge.

>>30029684
Unfortunately I got an adamant grimer after 8 tries with Gluttony so I settled, is poison touch really that useful given that it isn't toxic poison?

>>30030046
Very useful.

>>30030046
I find it pretty useful, good for chip damage against some of the tougher fights and ending a battle a bit quicker.

I knew I was gonna use Grimer, but Stamina made this guy a champ for tanking anything physical.

Good Water and Flying moves, well rounded stat, etc. It's been so long since I've used him that I forgot how dependable this thing is.

This guy right here has helped me so much. Its defenses pretty much won me many battles.

Also Alohan Meowth and its STAB bite is a killer.

Also I wasn't expecting to love this shitty bug so much, but she's just so fucking cute. I caught her to hold me over for vikavolt, after it evolved and I saw its eyes twinkle when I gave it head pats, I knew this bug had a permanent place on my roster.

It's so fucking cute I can't believe i ever doubted it

>>30030550
Also the fastest thing in the Alola dex that isn't UB02.

>>30030046
my very first grimer had an adamant nature with poison touch. it can OHKO pokemon really well.

>>30029684
grimer is singlehandedly winning the game for me. new bro

>>30030618
Mine has a neutral nature, but Poison Fang + Poison Touch is almost always a 2hko thanks to damage over time.

Ive caught 4 Grimer and each one has had Gluttony reeeeeee

Found an Adamant Grimer holding Black Sludge. Going to see how much of a bro he truly is.

Brick Break + Pluck is amazing for early game.

>>30030143
He took out Totem Salazzle in one turn!

>>30030802
Solos the Fire trial and Oliva

>>30030046
Regular poison does more damage than toxic in the first three turns, by a good amount. It's actually better for quick damaging, though if course toxic does more damage overall if it has the chance

>>30030707
LIKE 30 MINUTES LATER I FINALLY FOUND ONE
AND IT HAS BLACK SLUDGE
FUCK ME UP

>>30029684
>I'm in love with Grimer now
it got me through my first kahuna battle
i got a feamle which i named olga, after the urban rival character http://www.urban-rivals.com/characters/?id_perso=495

>>30030143
I got one without stamina and this lil fucker has saved my ass numerous times, and that was before it evolved into Mudsdale. Saved my ass from wiping to Salazzle and just tanks hits like nothing else

>>30031044
It isn't needed, but is real nice to have sometimes.

>>30029684
Ribombee, I just soloed E4 Hala with him, hands down my favorite Gen VII Pokémon

>>30029684
>>30030143

Mah niggas. These two are just shitting on everything so far.

They were cool the second they were shown off.

>>30031509
Garfield is surprisingly good early on with Technician.

>>30031624
The Teacher's TechSTAB Bite fucked me up early on. It could make a reasonable mixed attacker for the story playthrough.

More useful than I thought with Flame Charge and better than Lizard waifu as the fire type of gen 7

theyll patch alolan koffing any minute now right..

>>30029684
wtf I love Grimer now

>>30031874
As much as I want Alolan Koffing, I don't really want it to be Dark, Fairy, or Steel.

>>30030285
my mag has HP: water, so mine is literally sweeping everything in story mode right now, coupled with sturdy, he's my new BFF. <3

>>30031902
>not having it in BW2

>>30031934
never caught one early on in BW2, I dunno ...?

Not very far in, only just beat the first totem but so far its been the Litten show in my run. Trying to raise a Hydration Wingull but its so fragile and I keep overestimating its ability to seal a kill.

This thread is making me really want to add Grimer to my roster though, Muk was one of my star players back in my first run of Silver back in the day
