I can accept that my favorite bird is everyone's least favorite, but it needs SOME love. This line does have loveable charm, it's just a very different kind of charm than that of the usual badbass bird.
>>33073655
Pidove is my favorite early bird line too!
I love my shiny green Tranquill. The rest of the line doesn't keep that color, so I kept it unevolved. And I would've loved seeing her with Unfezant's mask, but it's a female.
>>33073655
Its statspread does not do its movepool justice.
>>33073655
I like Pidove and Unfezant but Tranquil is so shit.
The female version is so shit. Male is alright. Was my favorite regional bird until Toucannon.
It learning Detect at a relatively low level was a mistake
>>33073655
I used one in my Black playthrough. It wasn't good by any stretch, but it certainly wasn't bad either. I also own a Shiny male Unfezant, so because of all of this, I sort of like Unfezant. But between the two genders, I prefer female Unfezant, but only because I prefer its color palette.
I fucking love these birds
>>33073655
brave bird when
I play with a few friends every friday at our Pokemon league. We do four player battle royals. I basically take whatever shit I breed that week and mess around with it for fun.
Ended up using power herb + sky attack Unfezent and had some fun with it. Thanks to Super Luck + Sky Attack's high crit ratio, the attack crits half the time and absolutely maims what it doesn't outright kill.
It's a fun little gimmick and the only reason to use Unfezent I can think of outside of Night Slashing Anger Point Krookodile in doubles.
>>33073655
I fucking love Unfezant.
I swear these two remind me of these other two so much. I don't know why. I suppose it's because the male on looks like a romantic with the 'mask', and their designs both have a lot of black. I always name my Unfezant either Gomez or Morticia, though.
Tranquill reminds me of the crazy pidgeon lady from Home Alone....2, I think? Especially because of the hair. Dunno who Pidove reminds me of....
I have no idea how they could fuck up Pidove so hard
>>33073745
one of those pokes with potential but trollfreak fucking up on the movepool
>>33073712
Female birds tend to be shittier versions of the male, so at least its accurate.
>>33073655
I like these guys, I just wish they were better. If they gave toucannon its own signature move, would it kill gf too much to just give unf a PHYSICAL flying STAB with high critical hit ratio?
>>33074217
And no, sky attack is not enough. It'd be if unf had the bulk to withstand the charge turn, but we don't live in that kind of world.
Does Unfezant have a bad moveset hampering good stats or a good moveset hampered by bad stats?
>>33074227
Or a unique ability that eliminates charge/recharge time.
I really like the Pokemon. I just wish they had a better moveset. Maybe a Mega, too.
>>33073795
Shit, now I see it, too.
>>33073655
it's not my least favorite because Wingull exists.
Region birb ranking
Talonflame=Staraptor>Swellow>Toucannon>Unfezant>Pidgeot=Noctowl
I lie Unfezant but I actually like the female one better. The male one is okay but I like the female's colors with the brown and black Earth tones better.
Not my least favorite either. That goes to Swellow. Swellow is not very interesting and was kinda boring to train, I dumped it for Skarmory on my Sapphire version.
>>33074271
From my layman's perspective, I think the moveset is the bigger problem. But its stats aren't all that great either, except for Attack.
>>33074099
This. I would have loved another special attack stat regional bird with matching typing and moveset. Noctowl is alright but didn't become flying/psychic to better use all those natural psychic attacks.
>>33073655
Pidove is good, it's the rest that's shit.
My reaction with the line was:
>Cute round pigeon
>Oh shit what are you doing
>Stop
>>33073655
I really like them too. Unfezant just needs any good Flying Stab move. Aerial ace has a low BP, Sky Attack is useless without Power herb, and Fly is Fly.
If they got Acrobatics, then Power Herb/Sky Attack/Acrobatics Shenanigans could be fun.
Also it desperately needed the 10 extra points in speed instead of attack. Both are still lower than Staraptor's. But if the 10 points went into speed it would have a good speed tier of 103 and still have a decent attack of 105.
>>33075348
also it really needs a lot more moves to go with super luck (like it has any other abilities worth noting)
right now it's limited to air slash and night slash
At the very least it needs slash for a physical STAB crit move and at least one other move so it can go for a 3 attack - filler set (u-turn, tailwind, hypnosis, taunt)
drill run seems most appropriate and would give it a fairly decent coverage
course in a perfect world it gets a unique flying type physical attack with 80+ bp and high crit chance
>>33073712
It's the norm in the phasianidae
>>33074271
Both are bad,but the movepool is the biggest problem.It needs 10 Spe to have a acceptable stat spread,but it needs 60+ BP on physical Flying moves and at least 80+ on Ground/Grass/Fighting moves to not have a shitty movepool.
>>33073655
I absolutely love pidove, I just wish I liked the rest of the line more
