ITT surprising pokemon stats
>abra and sunflora have a base SpA of 105! more than greninja (103)
Glaceon has a base Defense of 110.
Worst defensive typing in the game, shit HP (65) and low speed (65), and they give it 110 Defense.
Steelix's attack is only 85, which is a pretty big buff to onix's "weaker than joltik" 45. They could both still do with a bst increase, though.

Abra makes sense if you ever tried to catch one in rby/gsc.
>>32700514
at least that's not its best stat, iirc it has a huge base SpA
>>32699948
Greninja looks so much better without it's stupid tongue scarf. The eyes still kill the design, though.
>>32700514
Why is ice dog always angry?
>>32699948
Amoongus has a higher base attack (85) than Talonflame (81)
>But muh priority
>>32700600
Its cold.
>>32700600
Becuse it knows ice is shit
>>32700556
Oddish has more attack than onix.
>>32700637
a tackle from pidgey does more damage than a tackle from onix
>>32700662
Being the franchises first boss is suffering.
>>32700564
elaborate
What about things you just didn't know?
>Farfetched went from base 65 attack in XY to base 90 attack in sun/moon
I guess they do care somewhat about the shitmons
>>32699948
Discounting Megas, only three things have a higher Defense than Avalugg: Regirock and Steelix at 200 and Shuckle at 230.
Also, Bastiodon has a higher Special Defense than Araquanid: 138 to 132.
I feel as though Pokemon is overdue for some kind of restandardization of BSTs
>>32700556
they should buff him to 105 at least, onix should have 85
>>32700745
It still needs a mega.
>>32700745
>any base stat less than 100 being relevant
Farfetch'd went from literally unusable to barely usable, still outclassed by every other Normal/Flying type
>>32700878
What it needs is to have some post-game npc that increases BST on some Pokémon.
Call it unlocking potential or whatever.
This way, the game can still keep the pacing of weaker mon at the beginning stronger mon at the end, but can also make shitmons viable.
>>32699948
Trapinch has equal attack as flygon
>>32700556
Which is less than Scrafty's 90, which is less than Vanilluxe's 95.
Jigglypuff and Entei both have 115 HP, and that's higher than every starter.
Buzzwole is the only Bug type with over base 100HP, or even over base 90. The next highest are Yanmega's 86 and Volcarona's 85.
Tsareena has more defense and HP than Araquanid.
If you look at every fully evolved Fighting type in Gen 7 (Crabominable, Bewear, Passimian, Kommo-o, Pheromosa, and Buzzwole), Kommo-o has the lowest attack of them all at 110. This also means it ties with Gumshoos, making the pseudolegend and common mammal have the same attack.
Cryogonal is faster than Garchomp.
>>32699948
Breloom has 130 base Attack, same as Garchomp.
Dusknoir has base HP of 45. So does Caterpie.
>>32699948
Grubbin is faster than its evos
>>32701270
>the game can still keep the pacing of weaker mon at the beginning stronger mon at the end
That's what EVs are
Changing the BST of pokemon would just make catching any other pokemon pointless outside of getting one for each type, because every pokemon would be the same. Some pokemon were just meant to be shitmons, and that's how the world goes.
>>32701270
Pokemon need oficial rankings.
Like yokai watch.
>>32701270
Or you could just let them evolve again, that's basically what you're saying. You wan Steelix with more BST? Cool, have a Steelix evolution. Still attached to Steelix and hate the evoltution's design? All right, Eviolite on the Steelix then.
"Unlocking Potential" is nonsense, just use a new Evolutionary stone like the Ground Stone or the Ore Stone or something and if you don't want people getting it until post game just make it cost BP in battle facility.

>a maggot in a onesie is faster than a beetle with wings that flies
why tho
>>32700556
Sheer Force
>>32705799
Why did you have to pick something that already has an evolution?
>>32705822
No reason Steelix can't evolve again. Sure, it has a mega, but even that isn't enough. Just say the mega stone works for both Steelix and its evolution, grants the same stat increases and ability changes and everything.
But, I've always thought megas were somewhat of a mistake and most if not all of them should've been regular evolutions.
>>32705861
They never should of happened
>>32699948
Despite being a natural klutz, Spinda has perfectly balanced stats.
>>32706057
>should of
hang yourself
Miltank has 100 base speed
