many people think crabominable is trash but this is even worse, AT LEAST crabominable can see some use under trick room support with unique destructive high-power stab attacks backed up by iron fist (ice hammer and close combat has high enough BP even though it doesnt benefit from iron fist) but this thing cannot tank or kill anything ever at all, spooky anchor does that it does a million times better, it even has stronger quakes than palossand stabquake because of its trash ATK.

>>30883544

are you kidding me? togedemaru is by far the best rat of all the rats.

nuzzle + roly poly is guaranteed STABFLINCH, iron barbs and spike shield along with steel typing allow it to be a super bro thorough most of the game too, sure its not OW material but for regional rat its amazing.

>>30883544
It can learn Gyroball, the meme offensive steel move :^)

So what if he has 96 spd, not like gyroball ever hits anything hard anyways

>>30883598
Pikachu is still better.

Light ball volt tackle one shot a lot of good pokemon.

>>30883560
That would actually be a neat gimmick for Hypno. Though Hypnosis would either need to be buffed or be 100% accurate when used by Psychic types for it to even work.

Togedemaru checks Koko fairly well but still it needs Iron Head or at least Iron Tail. Fucking Primape gets Iron Tail and it doesn't even have a tail.

>>30883753
>Primape gets Iron Tail
does Mankey by any chance happen to get Iron Tail? Because that would explain it

Like if fucking Crobat gets Brave bird why not this.

It doesn't even get Iron Head or Smart Strike, gamefreak is retarded.

>>30883560
>no Dream Eater without TM

What the fuck this is actually true.

What the hell Game Freak.

>>30883811

>High speed with stab rockslide

It's good enough.

>>30883560
I really like Hypno
Why is he so shit?

>>30883379
They were really retarded with TMs this gen, probably because of Z-Moves. A bunch of fully evolved don't get Hyper Beam/Giga Impact.

What triggers the diaper meme?

>>30883753
Why isn't it used in Vgc? It gets lightningrod and poison jab.

>>30884139

Because VGC is the definition of HEALTHY META

Gotta only use your BEST bros

It's shitposting at it's finest

>>30884139
I pair Togedemaru with Pelipper and Bulu. It is decent but Marowak is better for Tapuslaying.

>>30883598
Palossand would be better if trap moves could stack.
i bred one for that purpose but i legitimately never knew you couldn't stack them

>>30884309

And if his signature move wasn't a recover knock-off based on weather.

>>30884419
It's not like that's bad, though. And a Sandstorm version of Moonlight was something that we didn't have.

>>30886460

Same person who decided to give vikavolt slower speed than a grub with stubby legs.

Someone as Gamefreak is messing with the world. There's no other explanation.

>"learns" it's signature move, Shadow Bone, at level 27
>doesn't even evolve into Marowak until level 28

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

>>30886460
But it learns it the moment it evolves, like all Pokemon in this gen

>>30886543
From someone who's evolved two A-marowaks, no, no it does not.

>>30886543
Except it doesn't? Leveled one up for my playthrough and never got the move until the E4.

Sorry other people, reposted with the right image this time.

>>30886564
>>30886581
So, they did that with all Pokemon except marowak? My bad, fucking gf

>>30883379
Is Palossand useable at all?

>>30883844
it actually isn't a tail tho

it's an elongated needle

but yeah it really needs a better steel move

Honestly, looking at the level up list it makes me think that they originally had plans for an Alolan Cubone as well, but couldn't come up with a good design/got rushed out the door and didn't have time, and it got scrapped. It learns things like Hex and Flame Wheel at earlier levels as well.

>>30886893
My guess is that it'll be a decent bulky wall in lower tiers, it does get reliable recovery which is nice and Amnesia and stockpile. Shame about the will o wisp though
