Who shitposts about Ferrothorn?

Ferrothorn is really cool, might be my favorite Gen 5 pokemon. But Unova has a lot of good Pokemon so it's hard to choose.

Best Grass-type design alongside Parasect, Breloom, Torterra, Mow Rotom, Trevenant, Dhelmise, and Kartana. Prove me wrong.

Leave my baby alone.

Shit design, right next to that barnicole pokemon

>grass is really bad defensively
>let's give it steel typing and see what happens

>>31326971
OP obviously

Ferrothorn is an interesting pokemon that preforms well and at the same time has a massively common 4x weakness AND slow as shit. Hazards will forever be a meme and Ferrothorn the memer.

And yet it's OU. Even I don't understand how that happened.

2 Weaknesses
10, later 9 resistances
Godly defensive stats
Still have a solid attack stat
Recovery in moveset.
Best "fuck you physical attackers" ability of its age.

What part of
>Give it steel typing
Do you not understand? Honestly, the only types that wouldn't benefit from being paired with Steel are Rock, Ice and probably Poison, at least on defensive mons.

>what is Magnezone

Let's make a durian pokemon and mix it with a flail

>>31327148
probably the only hard counter to ferrothorne

>>31327018
Grass is actually pretty decent defensively, which is why ferrothorn worked out.

>>31326942
"The game is too offensive, better add a defensive mon"

And so they did. I like seeing Pokemon like Toxapex and Ferrothorn. Hyper offense is so boring.

>>31327245
Is Zapdos not a hard counter.

>>31327287
You can switch out of Zapdos
Magnezone gets a free set-up off of Ferrothorn

>>31327312
>You can switch out of Zapdos
If you're forced to switch, then it's a counter.

>>31327312
A hard counter is something that can switch in reliably and kill/wall what's already in.
