Who remembers?
I remember all the keks when stats were revealed. When owlfags got BTFO, only for barafags and sealfags to get BTFO later as well.
>>32360622
I was there. Good times.
Best day ever
>>32360646
I still remember the "Not so fast, Owlfags" thread and then it was revealed that Incineroar was slower than Decidueye
The shitstorm was hilarious and seeing the OP publicly apologise was great
>>32360647
>Good times
>Literally my mom two days ago
>>32360646
Decidueye got fucked over way more though
>>32360646
This.I mean, Primarina's still kind of OK despite being as slow as Incineroar, but mileage may vary and of course, Fairy type and her widespread moveset of both types alongside with Sp. Attack up its ass saved her sorry ass.
>When Emboar outspeeds Incineroar
You can't make up this shit, Sanchez.
>>32360622
The reactions were glorious, but for the time being it's considered to be a "decent" mon. Doesn't seem like it will last though.
Then again, Starters were never that good in general. If it weren't for Megas, only Greninja, Turbo chicken, Serperior, Empoleon, Infernape and Primarina would be usable.
>>32361275
Feraligatr is pretty good too actually.
>>32361168
I think the point is that people didn't expect Primarina to be fast, compared to the other two. It being slow is not good, but it didn't come as a surprise either. The fact that it's also the one that needs the speed by far the least out of the three is another story.

Decidueye don't need speed when it OHKOs the vast majority of the metagame.
>>32361361
With a blistering base 70 speed and a gargantuam bulk of 78/75/100 it's no wonder many people pick rowlet as their starter over the inferior litten and popplio. Decidueye can outspeed and take many hits from threats like knock off aipom, crunch carvahna, and brave bird doduo. It's no slouch offensively either with it's massive 107 attack and 100 special attack and it's massive movepool consisting of shadow claw, leaf blade, energy ball, giga drain, sucker punch, spirit shackle, shadow ball, acrobatics, brave bird and u-turn, along with both nasty plot and swords dance means it can function as an amazing sweeper in the ou tier. It's fantastic typing gives it resistance to common types such as grass, water, ground and electric, while having very few uncommon weaknesses, those being Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost and ice. With it's access to baton pass, defog and roost it can function as a great pivot and support pokemon being able to fit in on many teams that need one of it's many niches. All in all decidueye is an amazingly versatile and threatening pokemon to the ou metagame and you must be very prepared for it or expect to lose.

+1 252+ Atk Life Orb Sheer Force Feraligatr Ice Punch vs. 240 HP / 252+ Def Garchomp: 588-691 (141 - 165.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252 Atk Mold Breaker Gyarados-Mega Ice Fang vs. 240 HP / 252+ Def Garchomp: 360-428 (86.3 - 102.6%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

I cant tell if this u made this up for sarcasm or if someone already cooked up this pasta
>>32361582
It's an analysis someone made on smogon
>>32360622
I posted a speed comparison between that pokemon as Dartrix and Grotle.Grotle won
>>32362083
lmao, I remember that
>>32361357
Being a slightly inferior version of a very good Pokemon isn't bad. That's like saying Dragonite is bad because it's an inferior Dragon Dancer than MegaMence.
>>32360663
Stop posting forever you filthy trip
>>32362928
Why
>>32362944
Why?
FTFM
>>32360622
That whole leak season was wild. I admit to being completely BTFO by these fuckers being official.
>>32360646
What was wrong with primarina's stats? They seem like exactly what they should be
>>32361357
Feraligatr has a better movepool
>>32362944
>>32362950
I think hanna seems like a fine poster that probably just needs friends that pay attention to them
>>32362978
He means sealfags as in Balliofags.
>>32363055
Oh well those people aren't real anyways so no harm
>>32360622
Golden BTFO'ed moments
