How could a school of fish suddenly swim faster than a single fish on its own?

And sacrifice the rest of its BST 620 stats? No.
Wishiwashi school form is strong.

I thought because of the way the damage formula worked, you'd want more Defenses than HP. It's ability holds it back a bit though imo.

Pic related is something I saw in a thread talking about Toxapex and its bulk.

Not sure, but to give this guy great Defenses but a crappy HP stat is just terrible, they can make it slow but to make his Base HP at 45? Come on, now that's killing it, if his Base HP was higher but Speed kept at where it still is, he can have potential to be very threatening

>le good in trick room meme

But seriously, GF is really bad at ballancing. And this is their way of making 'cool' new mons - making them strong except where it matters most. So many new Pokemon have such glaring weaknesses that they just won't be able to do well.

And I guess if one were to allow only Alola mons to compete, that'd be fine. Which is why GF is doing exactly that.

Im mad about how shitty it's movepool is

They should at least raise the HP stat a bit more so it can last longer in the battlefield and still be able to deliver a painful blow to the opponent

i trained both a quiet and brave one because i'm so indecisive.

Wishiwashi is one of the few Alola Pokemon that is actually good in Trick Room. Hits hard with decent bulk and isn't completely useless outside of it.

>>30127570
I know that but the requirement of TR makes it a hassle and a pain, other than that he hits hard, honestly they should've done a little better with HP and Speed

>everyone is bitching that every alola pokemon is slow af and unusable
>wishiwashi is one of the few that's good in trick room
what sets him apart, when apparently every mon this gen is unusably slow?

> could have done better with HP in speed
I assume you have no idea that his ability 'requires' him to have low HP lest it be broken and he has 120 in all other stats.

What I mentioned in the post Satan. Decent bulk and defensive typing, high attacking stats and not useless outside of Trick Room. The last part is especially important and what sets it apart from most of Alola mons.

>>30127286
It's bulky as fuck already. Learn to play, not everything needs to have Deoxys-S tier speed.

>>30128047
I can live with the bad speed, the HP needs to be raised a bit, not too much but just a bit

I fucking hate Totem Wishiwashi.

I did too, I was gonna rage quit cuz of how long it took and because of Alomomola spamming heal pulse, after I lost I used Dire Hit on my Brionne and beat it minutes later
