>when your favorite Pokemon isn't a legendary or a mega but it's still one of the best in the game
A thread died for this garbage

This one is better in every way.
>not a legendary
>no mega
>useless ability
>weak by comparison
>hasn't been touched since it's release (aside from dark type buffs)
>million counters thanks to poor coverage and 4 move slot syndrome
>somehow still manages to be a huge threat

Fantastic mon choice anon
My bro is only top-tier in doubles
My favourite steel type.

It's really viable, I know people use it but I've never saw somebody claiming it as their favorite pokemon though.
Half of OU is filled with Megas. It was a mistake Pokemon should be judged based on their natural merits
>>31766513
OU has 9 megas out of 50 pokemon.
>>31766606
Not the anon but 10 actually. It does make me wonder what pokemon could've been in its place though

yfw smogonfags don't realize that Megas
were intended to run on every team.

nigger u fucking wot
>>31767771
Resisted by any combination of fairy/dark/fighting and fire/water/steel/ice, which is a metric shitton of pokemon.
>>31767763
considering smogon has easily adapted onto the idea of always carrying a mega, and that most people complaining are anti-smogon, I'd say it's quite the opposite

Skarmory is Johto?
He used to be pretty good, and now his cousin is.

Is this bait? How underage are you?

no, its a rom hack

Because Ice is a phenomenal type offensively. Weavile is the only Ice type to have both speed and an offense above 100.
If Crabominable had like 105 speed it would be OU in a heartbeat, but GF loves making slow and/or weak Ice types.

Kill this meme already.

>Ice beam, Blizzard, Icicle Crash
Earthquake, Flare Blitz, High Jump Kick
>HP Ice carried as a coverage move to counter top threats
Literally Landorus. In gen 3 a bunch of things carried HP Grass for Swampert, is grass a good offensive type?
>Ice considered mandatory coverage on water types
Because it has good synergy with water, not because ice is "phenomenal"
My bro
<------
>>31771711
Your bro not only is bad, but it also has a mega. Double fail.
Nice dubs though.
>>31771732
His mega is ugly, I don't use it.
>>31768146
Silver version exclusive and since nobody played that inferior version nobody knew of its existence.
>>31771679
The reason Ice is good is the amont of powerful pokemon weak to it, namely Lando and chomp, 2 of the best and most common pokemon around, be it smogon or battlespot.
>>31765700
but venusaur has a mega
>Declared Uber when first released
>Still a strong mon in the changing meta since 2006
>10/10 design (this is subjective)
>It out-performs its own mega
Is there any better mon?
Bump for the best favorites.
