>give you mon that one-shots everything in-game
>you complain more about how easy the game is

Its not even bad in game. Just as long as you get a Thick Club, then it fucks everythings face in. Its also got a balls ton of resists, so it basically kills the later half of the game for free.

>>32424523
This. I've done fine with it both in-game and competitively.

>get butterfree with compoundeyes
>teach it thief
>acquire thicc club

And suddenly your cubone/marowak destroys the game.

Marowak made Kukui a cakewalk for me because apparently his research was so focused on moves that he has literally no idea what an ability is and kept trying to Thunderbolt it while it set up in Magnezone's face.

It is only good because anti-meta

npcs are weird because the only ability they seem to consistently acknowledge is levitate

>>32424500
Main problem in-game is that it doesn't learn Shadow Bone via evolution, can only get it once you're at relearner before E4.

>>32424500
Because it doesnt get its signature move until the last stretch of the game.

>>32424523

No it doesn't. Ingame A-Marowak is trash because it has NO MOVES. You only finally start getting good moves once you reach the move relearner, at which point the game is already over and you've carried this piece of shit around for no reason.

>>32424997
ask a friend or something and trade it to a game where the player already has access to the move relearner. Problem solved.

>>32424500
A. Marowak was the fucking MVP of my last playthrough. Maybe you're just shit?

I wouldn't say it's great competitively, but Hydreigon is practically unusable before you beat the Champion because of how late it evolves. Zweilous is alright with an Eviolite but it will miss its attacks at the worst possible moments.

I think X&Y are the only games where you even come close to being Level 64 before the Champion without overleveling (although you can find wild Hydreigon on Victory Road anyway).

Bonemarang, rock tomb, flame charge

>>32424500
What you just said applies to everything without much of an offensive presence in game. Who the fuck would use a Chancey in game past gen 1? Every joey on the street would take 20 minutes to beat.

And in regards to A-Marowak, the only problem I've had with it is that it's a bit slow (though this is fixed with a single flame chanrge) and that it doesn't learn shadow bone via level up, which is stupid.

>>32424997
It gets bonemerang, will-o-wisp and shadow bone by level 27, what do you consider a good move?

>>32425527
It doesn't get Will-O-Wisp or Shadow Bone because it evolves at Level 28, so it's stuck with Flame Charge as its best STAB until the very end of the game when you reach the move relearner.

>>32425194
I suggested that because the alternative is doing what I did: Buy both games, finnish one of them first, then catch/breed cubone in the other game, borrow a 2nd 3DS and trade between them.

>>32427672
Actually, if you have PokéBank, ignore the "get a 2nd 3DS and trade" step

>>32425016
what's the point then ? Thar's like saying that buterfree is a good in game mon because you can trade to your friend and give it 20 more levels and trade it back

>>32427710
Dude, fuck the system.

>no moves
What do you niggers have against using TMs?

>>32427710
Holy shit faggot, Butterfree is a good in game mon git gud
