What went wrong

The speed stat.

>you're stuck with charjabug with so long you end up liking it more than vikavolt

They couldnt let it usurp Pinsir without upsetting Genwunners

Speed.
Everything else is fine and that makes me sad.
I fucking love Vikavolt... but its speed just makes it unusable.

>>30589156
>43

>gen 7
>not using trick room

needs better defenses and battery was a cooler ability

>>30589156
Halo alien sword bug, i like it.

>>30589207
>and only evolves at the very last island

>>30589156
not fast enough to outspeed
not slow enough to trick room
everything else is just magnificent

>Vikavolt is described as super fast in all pre release material
>Charjabug is faster than Vikavolt

>>30589156
Memers think low speed means it's shit. Its real problem is the shit movepool and that the typing isn't optimal.

>>30589156
Its meant to be a stall buster, especially since this gen added Celesteela, Toxipec, and Guzzlord. The whole point if its stats is to threated those, and either ohko them or predict the switch and chunk or even kill in the switch. 680 spa is nothing to take lightly. The one I currently have in my rain team fucks shit up

>43 speed
>not slow enough

>>30589401
No it's not. Grubbin is faster though.

>evolves after you've already beat every kahuna

Good lord why even bother. Also

>learns bug buzz at level 31 as vikavolt
>by the time you evolve it it's at least level 40
>have to use a heart scale just to learn bug buzz RIGHT BEFORE THE ELITE 4

Such a cool pokemon, in design and stats (barring speed of course), but ruined by everything around it. I still used it though.

Nope, it's still Crabrawler, Vikavolt at least has workable stats minus Speed and a usefull immunity. Crabominable is JUST tier on so many levels.

Nah.

>>30589156
Anybody know how he stacks up to an Eviolite Charjabug? Which is better?
