>Thanks for the hit, but look at the time! I need to go home,

Say what you will about Golisopod, but you can't deny it's got one super rad design

quick someone post the concept art for it

>not using its priority moves

I think these last two are fanmade but they are still pretty dope

yes

thank you very much

>>32243007

Why not just use scizor/M pinsir/Talonflame then. There is no excuse to use a pokemon with a hindering ability unless it is Mega Rayquaza levels of broken otherwise

>>32243127

Well, it's not bad for in game if you can bear to level up the wimpod.

Now, when Emergency Exit is activated after your HP is dropped to 50%, Golisopod takes priority over others Pokemon during that turn (ex: in double battles where there's more than two pokemon), he delivers a blow (aka your selected move) before being switch out.

Is it interesting now?

>>32243127
I found its ability solid for in-game because I was Nuzlocking on "set", and since Golisopod is bulky, he could take a hit and switch out for one of my more fragile team members. Pretty good

>>32243278
The only purpose of it is gimmick with First Impression. Just give it a HA that's actually good and call it a day.

>>32242866
First impression, idiot

>>32243572
Which one though, and how good.
Intimidate/tough claws/rough skin style or swarm or some shit like that.

>>32243686
As long as it doesn't hinder it anything is fine

>>32243686
Tough Claws or Battle Armor would be fitting and useful

Is there concept art for araquanid?

>>32243716
To be fair, they probably don't play competitive. In a world without stealth rocks, it's almost mediocre.

>>32243755
Anytime a strat is "but in doubles you can nullify its bad ability with X" it means you could drop that pokemon and instead have "but in doubles you can spend the first turn using swords dance/dragon dance/some other setup and be even better".

>>32244818
Either that or use a Pokemon whose stats merit wasting a turn on ability nullification, like Slaking or Regigigas.

>>32244791
Not yet I think

>>32243186
Because his priority move hits like a truck

>>32243186
CUZ HE STRONG NIGGA

>>32246123
Are you kidding? It's an okay pokemon, but it's only as good as milotic statwise. Definitely not enough to warrant such a painfully hindering ability. If it had Slaking or Regigigas tier stats then it'd be fine.

give me one (1) reason to use this shitmon over the based bug god

>>32246489
scizor is dumb

>>32246489
how's 'Not dying to non-STAB HP Fire?'

>>32246518
How's "Not making your team 5 Pokemon when the opponent has stealth rocks and you're anywhere below 75% HP"? How's "Only having a single weakness and 8 resistances"? How's "actual recovery"? How's everything that other anon mentioned? Face it, Golisopod is fucking trash.

>>32244818
Sshhh
/vp/ doesnt play competitive, you are scaring the children

Also its not even that useless because it hits hard with no setup at all.

>>32243186
Mega pinsir uses up a mega slot, talon flame is literally shit this gen and his goliso's STAB prio moves hit like a truck

>>32246543
Scizor dies hard to Volcano, who's usage has skyrocketed since the Pheromosa ban
