I was checking a list of the gen 7 Pokemon and they all have something special, whether it be a signature ability, a signature attack, or a gimmick, but Vikavolt doesnt seem to have anything special, Charjabug has a signature ability but Vikavolt doesnt have anything unique, am i missing something ?
>>33147754
every new line has either a new ability or a new move charjabug just happened to be the one in the line
>>33147754
Neither does Lycanroc-N
>>33147754
Its stats in no way reflect its design. Though thats not unique when it comes to alola mons.
>inb4 its a slow gradius ship :-^] fags
>>33147784
a form is a gimmick
>>33147797
Vikavolt's gimmick is that its previous has a signature ability
There
>>33147824
yes
It's gimmick is being slow as shit while looking fast
>>33147785
>gradius
Now I just want a Space Invaders-inspired Pokemon with Speed Boost
>>33147785
>"i-it needs speed boosts in Gradius to get up to speed!"
>doesn't get the Speed Boost ability
If it did, would it be saved?
>>33147754

Might as well go with the full Gradius reference
>Speed Boost
>signature Electric-type version of Protect that also sets up a Substitute that is already weakened; guaranteed three turn wait for the move to be usable again
>>33147960
Forgot to add Liquid Voice to Primarina, Dancer on Oricorio, First Impression on Golisopod, Merciless on Toxapex, Shore Up on Palossand, Innards Out for Pyukumuku, and Dazzling on Bruxish.

>>33147960
why are you acting like this is something new, they did it in gen 6 too.
>>33147827
That's a fucking stupid argument. Are you retarded?
>>33147960
Beak Blast is not exclusive to Toucannon
>>33149192
>>33147864
Because the last move it learns is Agility, retard. Vic Viper doesn't suddendly become faster as time goes on.
>>33147754
It's the slowest regional bug.
>>33149266
It's still funny that in a way, it's still one of the best regional bugs, the only two other good ones are Scolipede and Vivillon, minus Mega Beedrill of course.
>>33147960
>Bruxish: Psychic Fangs
Not exclusive.
>>33148606
OP here, i was talking about the Vikavolt's lack of signature ability, signature move or gimmick, we all know they did it before, but why did they leave Vikavolt with nothing ?
>>33149608
Bruxish has Dazzle as its signature abilty, Vikavolt has nothing
>>33149608
>can be passed down only by bruxish
really makes you think
>>33147754
>being slower than a regional bug
>especially when the worm is even your own pre-evo
>not a signature
:^)
>>33149182
Are you? The line is a signature ability. Stop being a retard.
>>33149226
Speedup is the first powerup in Gradius you get access to, idiot
