Now that he is confirmed the most popular starter in history, it is only natural he gets the Charizard treatment
>>32427410
At the very least Typhlosion deserves a way better in-battle model desu
>>32427410
I like the design on the right, all Typhlosion needs to be more viable is earth power. Even ancient power would be nice.
>>32427661
Or to be allowed to use its way better physical movepool
>>32427675
I don't know about that. Eruption is typhlosions bread and butter and gives it a niche over charizard.
Mega Typhlosion.

Attack 104 + (20)
Defense 85 + (7)
Sp.attack 149 + (40)
Sp.defense 95 + (10)
Speed 123 + (23)
Ability: solar power/drought
Gets earth power from tutor and extreme speed though egg moves.
>>32427675
I wouldn't trust Gamefreak on that. They still see Sceptile as a special attacker even after the physical/special split.
>>32427712
It's the only thing it can do. That makes it super-predictable and the only reason you can take scrubs off-guard with it is because they don't take the time to look at non-OU mons

>most popular starter
sauce?
>>32427823
You're not wrong. But using it in other ways doesn't do much for it.
>>32427826
>>32427265 Battle bond Typhlosion when!!!!!!!!
>>32427858
Which is why I'm saying it needs to be allowed some variety
>>32427877
I still think giving it earth power is all it really needs to add that variety. Trying to use its physical move pool won't get you any ko's that the special side gives.
>>32427902
If you buffed its Attack via Mega it would
>>32427826
a literal reddit poll used to determine which pokemon get used most-often on people's in-game teams. I'd hesitate to say that's the best way of measuring popularity, but hey ho
here's the rest of the results if you give a shit:

scroll down to the "Overall" section for the starter rankings
>>32427931
Ok, but if it had earth power the only physical moves you would get would be wild charge and rock slide. Which wouldn't add much to its damage output.
Eruption
Earth power
Solar beam
Hp.ice/wild charge/rockslide.
>>32427410
>that rightside mega design
That would certainly add some amusing meaning for me since I named my typhlosion Vesuvius after the volcanic mountain of Pompeii.
>>32427933
>those Hoenn starter rankings
Nice
>>32427933
>Meganium, Incineroar, and Primarina are the lowest used starters
kek
>>32427933
That Hoenn starter usage though
>>32428014
>>32428103
I thinks the ranking is a bit biased in this case, since many people only picked between Sceptile and Swampert in the remakes due to their new Megas.
