Are people only looking down to this guy because it's base speed? While it is an annoying flaw, it's design is still pretty sick and has a fitting special attack for a railgun-based pokemon.
>>30966169
but a railgun baed mon should have a high physical attack you dolt
>>30966169
after i evolved it it turned out to be a slightly more powerful piece of shit than bus
GF does one of the coolest bug designs since gen 1 and it turns out to be mediocre
at least golisopod is kinda good
Hit the nail on the head.
so is jolly/agility not a thing on it?

No seriously, this meme is not only outdated, but also beyond stupid if you would ever use it as an argument.

>>30967240Thanks
>Slow
>Weak defenses
Why does GameFreak think this is ok?
Use it in a Doubles TR team to get the most out of it.
Also, A-Golem is the railgun, Vika is just a laser gun.

>Not running bulky Assult Vest
>Not breeding it with Mud Shot to take down it's TWO weaknesses
It's like you guys suck at this game or something
>>30967266ain't no thang
>>30966169
It sucks that it's slow it is still pretty based in battle. Plus it's not as frail as people make it out to be.
Vikavolt reminds me of why THIS fucker makes me so sad. Strong as hell, but slow and can't take a damn hit to save its life.
LOL

252+ Atk Geodude Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Vikavolt: 284-336 (79.3 - 93.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Anon...I have bad news...
>>30966169
I have my own Vikavolt. Investing in HP and Defense is the way to go. Zoom Lens + Zap Cannon has worked wonders for me!
Here's a recommended set
Assault Vest, Leftovers, Life Orb
Bold, Modest, Calm
>252/31 HP
>252/31 Defense
>4/31 Special Attack
Bug Buzz
Thunderbolt
Energy Ball/Flash Cannon
Roost

>equivalent of 89 base speed with beneficial nature and 252 speed
WOOOOOOW

>Sucker Punch
>>30968540
To be fair, 30mph non-sprinting and non-diving for any animal is fast as fuck
>>30968740
>is now on par with 89 base speed mons
holy shit that is so fast, you're right anon how did I never think of that
>>30969349
Well if we directly transfer base speed into mph, 3.5 speed is 1 mph.
Vikavolt goes at a high speed of 12.3 mph, or roughly about as fast as a squirrel.
>>30969443
>getting attacked by a vikavolt
>jog away safely
>>30969531
Jogging is considered to be somewhere between 4 and 6 mph.
>>30969443
Pic related goes 51.43 mph.
Pyukumuku, Munchlax, and Shuckle go 1.43 mph.
>Vikavolt has the same Speed as a fat glutton
What did Game Freak mean by this?
