Seriously what was the point of adding this ugly fucker in the

>>30226911
>SuMo

They realized last second they had no new non-legendary steel types so they slapped the type onto alolan sandshrew and drew up togedemaru

I'm sure as hell if Togedemaru didn't exist no one would have a problem with seeing Mimikyu as the pikaclone, even if it wasn't Electric.

>>30226911
He's pretty cute though. Not as cute as pachirisu, but pretty cute. I wish he got more steel type moves.

I hope we get a better hedgehog someday though.

fuck off I'm tired of your negativity. Togedemaru is cute. CUTE!

>>30226911
I had no idea it existed until I ran around for an hour (catching Chansey from Elekid SOS) and stumbled upon it. The encounter rate is so low too; what's the point of this thing?

>>30226911
Glad I wasn't the only one who hated this thing.

>>There can't be more than one pikaclone per generation

Minun and Plusle bitch

Don't forget Marill.

History revisionists may argue otherwise, but true pokebros remember.

>>30227065
Like half of the new alolamons have sub-10% encounter rates

Togedemaru is an old round design with a newer type and a cool concept

>>30226911
MERCHANDISING

>>30226943
What's wrong with SuMo?

>>30227163
Marill doesn't have round cheeks tho

>>30227357
Would you buy a hundred dollar painted steel ballbearing

>>30226911
The only problem I have with it is the placement of the tail.

>>30226911
I was just taking pictures of this little cunt.

>>30226911
Hey, i think togedemaru is an all round good design

>>30227526
that's not a tail, anon

>>30226911
I like it more than Emolga and Dendenne

>>30227163
Don't you mean Pikablu?

Temporary iron barbs user until January.

>>30227526
It's actually an extended needle that's used as a lightning rod

although it really does look a lot like a tail

but then again hedgehogs don't have very defined tails

>>30226911
>SuMo

>>30226911
Vikavolt is shit so players needed a decent Electric type until they could get Top Kek and Xurkitree

Also its attack animation looks like a spindash from Sonic and that's cute

>>30227163
pikablu was the true pikaclone, pichu was just babby pikachu.

Really? Huh, learn something new every day. Thanks anons.

>>30226911
I want to fucking punt it into the sky

I want to kick it SO BADLY

And fittingly enough a move like Rolling Kick or High Jump Kick on it would be super effective. Just get this ball in line with my fucking foot please

>Not running Nuzzle/Fake Out/Zip Zap
Not a bad pikaclone desu senpai

>>30228229
Too bad it has shit speed

>>30228492
>90+ speed
It's average at worst fambulance

Can't say the same about 90% of the new mons

>>30228492
But it has pretty good speed, especially compared with most of the other Alola Pokemon.

>>30226911
If Togedemaru wasn't in the game then Mimikyu would be Electric/Ghost with a bst barely over 400 and Static/Cursed Body as its ability.

why would you fucking complain???! togedemaru is the best pikaclone there is.

jolly+iron barbs+rocky helmet+spiky shield+zing zap+wish+reflect

there you go.

>>30229211


>not nuzzle for the para flinch?

seriously this guy helped me cheese my way through so many battle tree fights it's not even funny

>>30229312
sure, you can run that too.

>>30227395
It's a barbaric """"sport"""" with a serious match-fixing problem.
>>30227163
Oh fuck off with that, Marill isn't a Pikaclone and you know it.
>isn't Electric-type
>doesn't learn Nuzzle
>doesn't have the cheek things
>they actually tried to make (and succeeded in making) it good
>constantly gets buffed instead of being forgotten about past its intro generation

>They literally pay you to catch one

>>30227395
It was invented by Redditors to prevent triggering from SM being a reference to BSDM.

It also makes no sense in context of literally all other abbreviations, only exception being Platinum (Pt) because the P abbreviation was taken by Pearl.

>>30227866
This is a fact.

>>30229899
>with a serious match-fixing problem.
what is WWE

>>30229899
Pichu cannot be Johto's pikaclone. A LITERAL member of Pikachu's line a KANTO species cannot be its ""clone"".

What's really amazing is that we actually got a pikachu clone that isn't useless (mimikyu)

Too bad alolan raichu and this nigga suck tho

>>30226911
The only problem I have with this thing is that its name is so fucking out of place. It's like they took a Japanese name, changed the letters to English syllables and called it a day.

>>30231658
Isn't that literally what they did?
