WHY ARE CUTEMONS ALWAYS SO SHIT IN BATTLE?

>>30043521
Every gen 7 poke is shit thanks to Gamefreak fucking their speed over.
That said, think about it, if you want to intimidate someone with a mantis then you'd get Scyther or Scizor or something, not Lurantis.

marshadow is maybe the cutest of this generation and it's undoubtedly going to be an Uber.

>>30043820
Marshadow's head is retarded.

>>30043521
cute things are usually weak in real life, while menacing things are strong.

>>30043915
What about bears?

>>30043521
During main game I had a cutiefly/ribombee, formantis/lurantis, and oricorio. Lurantis became pretty good with a bloom doom of 190 base power, and oricorio's fire-type revelation dance became very useful. Ribombee was the weak one in my team but because I fucking adore it I petted it a lot in refresh, which made it viable.

>>30043977
>bears are cute
Are you mentally ill? Because only crazy people think bears are cute even fucking wild cats run from bears.

>>30043993
Bears are super cute. Just because they can maul you doesn't change that.

>>30043977
Because bewear's entire gimmick is being cute and absurdly strong. It's a parody on what you quoted.

>>30044009
Bears are carnivorans, a mammal designed to be a meat eating super killer, if you think bears are cute you have some screws lose because one of its cousins the lion was one of our mortal enemies back in Africa.

>>30043993
Fuck you, bears are cute.

>>30044050
Bears are omnivores, just like humans.

Hell a bear's diet is something like 70% plant matter. You eat more meat than a bear.

>>30044050
Lions are cute too though you retard.

At least we have ribombee

>>30044050
>Humans aren't meat eating super killers.
We chase down prey until they collapse from exhaustion then beat them to death. We don't even kill things quick, and you're hating on bears?

>>30044085
No dumbass CARNIVORAN a mammal in the CARNIVORA ORDER.
>>30044088
Lions are not cute you are just insane.
>>30044066
No you are insane.

not all of them are
I will grant you that lurantis may be the worst pokemon of this gen
barring alolan raticate

>>30044122
Yeah, they're in carnivora. So is your pet dog. So what? Bears aren't designed to be super predators. They're big, tough, omnivore generalists.

>>30044107
Humans are not carnivora idiot.

>>30044107
>We chase down prey

Lol, no you don't. You couldn't chase a deer for 20 seconds without collapsing you autistic fuck. They run from wolves through thick snow for miles before they're caught.

>>30044145
Look up endurance hunting. It's what humans naturally evolved to do.

>>30044144

Is this good in game?

>>30044174
No, types its weak against are very common and since it's so slow it's generally dead before it can attack.

>>30044160
Humans are not evolved to be competent predators it not the same, notice how most herbivores dont register us when we move around them because we are primates fucking harmless to them unless we take out our spears. Most carnvores will also only run from us if we are taller than them, big ones like Tigers fuck you up no matter what.

>>30044122
>Carnivores are unable to be cute
So cats and dogs aren't cute? Fennec foxes? Certain birds? Martens? You can keep believing what you want but people having opinions that don't match yours doesn't make them invalid.

>>30044191
>Humans are not evolved to be competent predators
You're arguing with an actual biologist and getting your stupid everywhere. Yes, humans evolves to be predators. Yes, humans evolved for endurance hunting.

>Most herbivores don't register us.
A cow is not a wild animal. Wild animals in general know to be scared of humans.

>Primates
>Fucking harmless
Not even our herbivorous relatives, the gorilla, are what you could call harmless. And everything else will hunt and kill smaller animals for food. You don't know anything.

>>30044191
What? The deer and wild rabbits in my area tend to run away from humans if they're even somewhat close to them. Makes taking photos of them a pain in the ass. Have you ever been near a wild animal before?

>>30044191
>Domesticated animals aren't afraid of humans
>Wild animals are
Wow, that sure was hard to wrap my head around. This tiger is visibly frightened and is ready to kill these humans at any moment's time.

>>30044208
>So cats and dogs aren't cute?
Maybe to mentally ill humans, but most herbivores are wary of them and rodents run from them. Monkeys usually troll cats and dogs showing they arent scared of them.
>>30044240
>Yes, humans evolves to be predators.
For a biologist you cant take a hint, you are a fucking idiot when I say evolve to be predators I mean complete predatory evolution not LOL WALKING APE JUST GRAB SOME STICKS AND STAB STUFF DUDE.
> Wild animals in general know to be scared of humans.
Maybe retards like deers do but most reptiles, birds, larger herbivores are calm around us.
>Not even our herbivorous relatives, the gorilla, are what you could call harmless.
You mean leopard food?
>And everything else will hunt and kill smaller animals for food.
Chimps can hunt monkeys but if or any baboon tries to eat shit on the savannah they getting wrecked by the carnivorans.

>>30044333
Tigers arent afraid of humans they see us as food.

>>30044191
They've actually done studies on tiger behavior, in regions of India where people would organize tiger hunts, all the tigers are scared of and avoid humans. In areas where the people were too few or too timid, the tigers will hunt the humans.

>>30044357
You're trying to tell other people that their opinions are invalid because they don't match your own. Tell me how YOU aren't mentally ill.

>>30044357
>Wild birds aren't scared of humans
10/10 bait. You got me.

>>30044382
Tigers aint scared of humans, they are too cognitively behind to be scared of humans.

>>30044357
English isn't your first language?

Humans evolved to be predators. A predator is a creature that naturally stalks and hunts prey. Your body is primed for endurance hunting, every bit of your anatomy that isn't devoted to tool-use and speech is designed to get you into a hunting party and chasing after an animal.

>Maybe retards like deer
Beneficial survival behavior is retarded?

>Birds, reptiles, larger herbivores
All run away from humans or take up a defensive stance. Your pets don't represent wild behavior.

>You mean leopard food?
A leopard will only take a gorilla opportunistically. They're not going to risk going against a silverback if they can help it.

>Chimps can hunt monkeys
Which proves my point that a lot of primates are predators, which you disagreed with.

>If a baboon tries to eat something...
Depends on the situation. They can hunt and kill smaller animals, will scavenge lion kills, and if there's a large enough troupe they'll chase lions away from their kills.

>>30044466
>Those studies made by professionals are wrong because I said so
How's middle school going?

Not only are humans predators, we are apex predators

>>30044486
No humans evolved to be foraging arboreal predators the only thing predatory about us is our tool use you fucking retard.

>>30044580
>Say humans evolved to be predators
>Say they're not predators
Can't even keep the trolling straight.

Also,
>Arboreal
Not any time recently. One of the first things our ancestors did was evolve away from tree climbing.

It's good being on top.

First time I used the Z move. Watching Ribombee launch Kommo-o into the stratosphere was hilarious.

>>30044191
>primates are fucking harmless
>violent omnivores that eat their own kind and occasionally sexually torture other animals are harmless to herbivores
You've never even watched the Eyewitness VHS tapes in elementary school, have you?

Also OP, Mawile is pretty good. I like Whimsicott a lot for Doubles support, but I'll have to see how much the Prankster nerf affects it in January.

>>30044769
the only thing more evil than a primate is a dolphin desu

>>30044636
Humans are primates you stupid fuck.

>>30044816
If you're done trying, I'm done replying.

>>30044769
Mawile is the perfect human predator its looks like a cute little girl and lures you in and the bites your fucking torso open and just tears up into your guts swallowing each chunk of your flesh grinding your bones to pieces.

>>30044844
You sound like the crystals guy masturbating.

Reminder that the toothy maw on Mawile's head is actually just a pair of iron horns it can manipulate. The horns do not drool and cannot swallow things, and are more comparable to a bear trap than a proper mouth.
Mawile's actual mouth is much smaller and appears to be toothless.

Good thing humans are omnivores and not herbivores.

We evolved from the chimpanzee you schmuck, one of the many predatory apes. Shit, I think gorillas are one of the few strictly herbivorous primates anyway and I'd be more afraid of a pissed off gorilla than a pissed off bear.

>>30045607
We didn't evolve from chimps, but we do share a recent common ancestor. Spot on otherwise though.

>>30045666
>We didn't evolve from chimps,

I actually can't believe I just said we did.

Lurantis is designed to please its fellow teammates and relieve their frustrations. Lurantis is just a slutty cocktaker, it doesn't need to be good at battling.

satan trips prove that evolution is a demonic ideology created to further distance us from god's light
