Cute charm on a genderless Pokemon as a hidden ability

>>31659878

It's the new Water/Ground type that is always fairly slow and always has good to great HP and at least one reasonable attack stat, usually physical. Water/Ground was cool when Quagsire did it, but then they did it every single game after until gen 6 because "look, it's a Water type immune to Electric!"

>>31659856
Well, Stunfisk is a Ground/Electric type with Limber.

>>31660712
Golisopod is one of those rare mons where learning Run Away as an ability is not only fitting for it's lore, but also better than its current ability.

Doesn't the game not count it as half of your total HP if it's an odd number?

Stats are rounded down so you'd think this is the case

>>31660755
cant he still get paralyzed by grass moves without limber?

>>31660780
This is true
At an odd number, it will leave you 1 above 'half'

I hope Kommo-o becomes better in the future. It's one of my favourite looking pseudos and Dragon/Fighting is one of the coolest type combinations.

Actually, if you think so, you're probably using Golisopod wrong...

>>31661444
at most it'll get move tutors with next game

>>31660836
Don't forget Hidden Power

>>31661444

Dunno but move tutors might give some good stuff like Superpower and the like. Stats are unlikely to change sadly.

>give them all incredibly high defenses

>>31661444
Maybe. If the ORAS (or similar) tutors return game freak will probably do something stupid like let it learn superpower and gunk shot, but none of the elemental punches or drain punch.

The fact that Kommo-o is physically incapable of learning any of the elemental punches pisses me off the most though. Dragonite can learn them and it can't even make a closed fist! Why is the literal fighting dragon incapable of learning them?

>>31661452
Even when used "right", Golisopod is still godawful. Emergency Exit can generate momentum, but most of the time it's more hindering than not, because it means Golisopod doesn't get to decide to stay in, and often doesn't get to attack at all if it didn't use a priority move. It already has good stats, a good typing and a good movepool, so just giving it access to a different ability, even one that does literally nothing like Run Away, would improve it massively.

>>31660816
BOO!

>>31659856
They add a forest location where you can only get more than eight Pikachu variations which include exclusive moves, secondary typing, unique looks, animations, etc.

You're looking at it backwards. It has a crazy BST to compensate for its ability.

All that Kommo-o needs is all the punching moves (including Bullet and Mach), Knock Off, Super Power and Iron Head. One D-Dance and it's off to go. But I'm still salty that it's doesn't have Multiscale as a HA, yeah yeah Overcoat is not bad, but I think I would prefer to have guaranteed hit survivability then not be afraid of weather.

>All Kommo-o needs is over 10 moves and a different ability

I could fix anything by giving it 10 moves and a new ability.

Just give the fucking thing Drain Punch. It'd be little more than a discount Conkeldurr but it's better than being garbage are literally everything

Mega Evolution with Unburden.

>>31664647
The moves I listed are all tutor and pretty much all Fighting types get at least half of them which is why I'm somewhat optimistic for Kommo-o, it would be such a huge waist just "to prevent another Garchomp".
And I really want for it to get Drain Punch to

Have you people never been to a beach? Or seen the ocean? Seagulls are everywhere. GF's problem is that, instead of making some new seagulls, they just put in more wingull. Why is it ok to have fifty different kinds of cats, but more than one seagull is weird?

First off, you're completely wrong. Of seagulls, there are multiple different subspecies and outright species. But further on from that, there are multiple other types of seabirds: Terns, petrels, oystercatchers, godwits, cormorants, puffins, razorbills, murres and more

>>31669214
His point is still retarded. Crows live literally fucking everywhere in the real world but we don't have Murkrows on every damn route.

>>31669261

Actually, if we're being technical, Hawaii is sorely lacking in gull species. No pelicans either. Some rarely get blown in injured via storm. They rarely fly here normally. Gulls are too coastal to reach Hawaii en mass. Other seabirds? Sure there are a lot of those, but most were extirpated from nesting on the main islands due to rats and mongooses. They primarily nest on the ground that's why. Almost every offshore islet is a seabird sanctuary, and the northwest islands are all seabird sanctuary. What I wouldn't have given for some more seabird variety though. Wingull is general enough for me to not really care about technicality, but I'd love for a frigatebird, albatross, tropicbird, booby, or a fairy tern.
Here's the albatross colony on Midway for an example.
