Do too many Pokémon have access to Intimidate?

I don't know, I think all of the Pokémon with Intimidate deserve it. Like this guy. Literally shaking in my boots just looking at him.

A lion cub in the wild could be intimidating in the sense that there's probably an adult one nearby. I'd have a hard time pulling a justification out of my ass for when you're fighting a trainer though

>>31737071
Realistically speaking I would not want to stumble across a lion cub, because that would probably mean there's adult lions nearby. So yes, Shinx can intimidate someone.

You guys are cute, ever thought about hooking up?

The only questionable Pokemon with Intimidate is Hitmontop.

The rest, even if they aren't intimidating themselves, have intimidating evolutions.

I can't find any of the litten line intimidating.

>A martial artist who's out to kick your ass
>Not intimidating

A fire-breathing cat is not intimidating.
Also don't think I'd want to fight adult wrestler dad, if I bullied his kid.

Shynx had that animation in DPP where he lit up with electricity. I guess that could be somewhat intimidating?

what would be a good word for an Intimidate style ability that reduces the special attack of foes?

Spook

It has good gameplay, makes sense and is powerful. I'd rather have more Pokémon using it.

Subjugation.

Scraggy can make one hell of a fierce impression though.

>>31737360
Ugliness

>>31737283

Bring on those free nasty plots boyo, it makes my dicc hard

>>31737428
You'll get even more confused after it kicks the shit out of your head.

Game Freak understands the power of kapoera.

>>31737360
Unnerve...oh wait, nevermind.

>>31737191
Scrafty is a hood nigger, so yeah that's reasonably intimidating.

>>31737428

I take it you've never seen people doing capoeira?

>>31737518
That + Adrenaline Orb to increase Speed by one stage = UNSTOPPABLE

Why Don't any Ghost-type Pokemon have Intimidate? Or a SpAtk version called Chills or something like that?

I figured Shinx's justification was that it could make parts of its body flash when entering battle, somewhat making it look more intimidating than it is.

I'd be terrified of any rapidly spinning object headed towards my way.
Like look at Battlebots:

Even if you wipe away all the fluff and TV overreactions, these are 200lb+ masses of steel smashing each other around like yoga balls and about the size of a medium-sized Pokemon. Hitmontops are around 100lb and unlike Tombstone, is a full body spinner so there's more mass spinning at a target than just one 30lb blade of steel.

I'd be intimidated too if they were real.
