>Ok, hear me out guys. What if we made a Pokemon that, once it reaches a certain level, it changes its appearance and its base stats get a huge boost.
>So, like an evolution? Those Pokemon already exist.
>No no, not an evolution. It just changes once it enters battle. Maybe like an ability or something. Outside of battle it has one form, but in battle it automatically changes.
>Why would that be a better alternative to evolution. It just sounds like your wasting its ability slot on something that is no different than a mechanic that already exists.
>c'mon guys, i know, for all intents and purposes this would be a downgrade, but we need a gimmick because this game is shit

Well maybe a permanent wishiwashi form wouldve been a good idea. But gamefreak inst that good at making smart decisions when it comes to every pokemon.
I miss thinking it was going to be the new gyarados.
do not bully sadfish

Anyone ever skill swap with WishiWashi? Does Schooling do anything for anyone else like give other pokemon a giant stat boost?
>zen mode
>defeatist
>schooling
>shields down
kind of wish GF would stop doing this
I think it was good. Broken in early game, good in mid game, lackluster in end game. Plus it has access to Scald and Aqua Ring.
Gyarados isn't as powerful as school form Wishiwashi during the story. It's a nice gimmick.
>>31781597
Well shit. Even though its a bro it has a shitty, useless gimmicky as fuck ability then. Poor fuck.
>>31781083
Literally the single most broken pokemon in challenge cup. Fuck that thing
>620 BST
>still shit due to awful speed and hp
It'll be dead before it loses school form anyway.
>>31781612
Shields Down is somewhat decent though. Minior just doesn't have the HP to pull it off.
>>31781612
>defeatist
this one gets an exception
>>31781493
It basically is, though. It just works a little differently. I would group them together.
why would you want more of the same shit? Use literally any of the other 800 pokemon if you want something else.
this is why I don't get why people complain about these abilities, like they don't realize that if they had normal non hindering abilities their stats would have been nerfed to compensate and they would be shit anyway.
>>31781779
Wishiwashi would be shit without schooling. It has other problems holding it back.
>>31781083
How about this
>Holding an Everstone causes its school form to not disperse
>>31781493
>I miss thinking it was going to be the new gyarados.
You were retarded if you ever thought that. We literally knew it was a form and not an evolution the moment the CoroCoro page revealing it was posted.
>>31782105
I wonder wishiwashi could be evolved into a dolphin? or "Washiphin".
>>31781083
The point is that it can have very high stats, but can lose them when down to low health and become weak.
You know, something that an evolution wouldn't do.
>>31781083
this ability is literally defeatist 2.0
