Is Oricorio as terrible as people make them out to be? I'm getting the game soon and Oricorio (specifically Pompom) is the Pokemon I'm most excited about using but it seems like the general opinion is that it's a shitmon. Is it Ledian tier or is it possible for me to take it to the elite 4 with it?

It's a decent ingame flying type with flying type moves, but its only secondary stab is revelation dance at level 40. People were disappointed. Shame, because the real animal group was neat if not equally pitiful.

Should have just given all forms access to Thunderbolt/Shadow Ball/Flamethrower/Psychic.
The thing isn't absolute shit, but it's move pool is so barren.

Mine has been with me the entire game, and it's pretty damn useful imo for lowering stats and setting up. It helped me with nearly all the bosses.
It's only considered a shitmon due to its movepool like >>30612923 and >>30613456 say, but it all depends on how you use it I think. Pom-pom's pretty good in the early part of the game with the only thing to watch out for are Rock types and very late in the game Ice.
Mine had Air Slash, Feather Dance, Revelation Dance, and Captivate to keep me going.

its very shit, but in story mode basically any pokemon is good if you're willing to grind for it.
GF dropped the ball with Oricorio, no doubt about it, it's the Ledian of Gen 7.
Loving mine so far, but I'm using her as a Flying type rather than her secondary typing as there's just no move pool there. Intend to switch her to Baile when I get the chance.

I wonder how people felt when they found out about Rotom's forms "movepools".
>best oricorio is post-game only

I'm so glad I ditched it for another teammate.

This is a stupid question. It's possible to take any pokemon with you to the Elite 4.
Now, it IS relatively weaker the further you go.

It's not. you can ask for nectar someone.

Z workup + Baton pass.
Great ingame supporter
It's very strong early game once you get Acrobatics, which is before the second island. It falls off kinda hard later on though.
Which is best one?
Is the ability any good?
