this thing would be better special imagine spamming 330 BP hydropump

if you want to spam like a retard just play specs or scarf keldeo, you're missing the point of araquanid

What about it? You can just use any other Pokémon with a boosting move.

>>33009349
It's better as physical as Water Bubble's burn immunity wouldn't be as beneficial on a special attacker.

>>33009349
It just needs a Water type clone of Power Whip.

>>33009349
They only thing here that is special is you.

>immune to burns

Liquidation Mega Swampert wen?

>>33010054
Soon I hope. Waterfall always has a shitty animation.

>>33010054
sap sipper mega swampert when

Araquanid was wasted potential. 132 base Special Defense is fucking terrible and brings back horrible Ledian memories. That Special Defense should have been reduced to boost both Attack and Special Attack.

Araquanid is shit and will end up in PU garbage.

water bubble has many benefits. i don't think it's a crime to not abuse all of them fully.

>>33010054
flinch has gotta be better than def drop on a swift swimmer, right?

>one of the 5 pokemon that learn a better version of waterfall
Liquidation is more comparable to Razor Shell if anything. Waterfall can induce flinching.

Have you seen the physical defense on the thing?

It's a Tank

>>33010126
How is 132 Special Defense terrible? It's the 24th highest of all pokemon, in the 22nd if megas are not involved, and 18th if legendaries are not included.

>>33010556
Oh yes, it sure is flinching a lot of things with that sonic-fast base 42 speed.

It's terrible for a Pokemon that has great offensive potential to be a special wall and have shitty offensive stats. Like Ledian.
