Unexpected Team MVP Thread? >Caught this thing for fire trial

Alolan Persian. Hated the design, but it became an MVP in game and I love it now.

You don't get liquidation until end of the game though

and how did you flinch anything with araquanid's speed?

>>33229509
I said Crit, not flinch

Hatched a Litten egg from a friend in my egglocke. Had Fake Out and a few other egg moves

>>33229475
same

Got one with Parting Shot and Charm from the Egglocke.

Evolved before the first Kahuna. Had Fur Coat. Speed + Spamming Charm and Parting Shot led to the first Kahuan victory

>>33229475
I went for a Persian, but mid-game it was subpar.

My MVP was Mudsdale. For real, that horse is a monster with stamina

>>33229446
This and Mudsdale. Mine was named Hydrachnid.

Spiderbro was definitely an unexpected mvp in my as blind as possible nuzlocke

But the one that really saved my ass too many times to count...

>Catch a cute-looking little donkey/horse
>Assume it's just your regular nothing special mon
>Realize its ability raises its def after literally every hit it takes
>Realize almost everything in Alola is physical
>Almost get my ass handed to me by totem salazzle
>Llittle horsie can tank and saved my whole team
>Evolves into a powerful ground horse
>Realize horse has op attack power and can tank
>Realize ground type is probably the most op type in Alola due to shit distribution
>Realize almost everything in Alola is physical so stamina is OP
>MVP Horse lasted where many had fallen

Thank you MVP horse

Ribombee was a surprise with how often it came in clutch. I just caught a cutiefly on the first island for pokedex and something to fill in my early team, and then she stayed on the rest of the run. Fast as shit and hits pretty good for ingame battles too.

Didn't realize how much of a lifesaver Sturdy would be.

Same here, it could QD on almost any special attacker and go on to sweep. I even lucked out on a Hidden Power Ground one.

A few days ago I caught the pre evo in my Nuzlocke but it died before evolving and I was so excited to use it.

I used Masquerain in oras because I had never used it before and I really liked its design. It turned out to be way more useful than expected. Was a huge help with Quiver Dance and moves like Scald, Ice Beam, Shadow Ball and Bug Buzz. And it has Intimidate. I absolutely love this little guy since oras.

I caught a Ledyba as the 2nd member of my team in Sun because I've never trained one before. It's a Ledian now and somehow keeps kicking the living shit out of everything in Alola. Very surprising.

Dubs of truth

>>33229933
I'm gonna need some details about this one because ledian in my eyes is down there with unown

>>33230254
I can't really explain it myself, since I don't get into EVs and IVs and all of that. He just doesn't seem to go down unless hit by something that 100% has his number. Both of his attack stats are terrible but this somehow makes no difference. He's solo'd most of the island challenges so far. It is truly a mystery, but I can't take him off the team after being so useful.

Probably also helps that everything in Alola is slow as fuck

>>33229881
you can sweep every trainer in oras with that thing and m-blaziken

Drizzle Pelipper, I played Sun as a nuzlocke and wow that pokemon was able to help me setup and wreak with Hurricane

Black 2 Randomizer Nuzlocke. Took out a surprising amount of uber legendaries, including ones it didn't even have a type advantage over.

It could not, however, take out a Hydreigon with Work Up and Dragon/Dark Pulse.

Protip: If you're starting a Randomizer Nuzlocke run, do not let your rival have something that evolves into Hydreigon as a starter.

Pelipper in RSE is surprisingly legit too. Despite not having Drizzle yet, or the Special Attack buff, or a good movepool, it gets Protect to troll Norman's Slaking and learns Shock Wave, and an Electric move in Hoenn is also a godsend. Shock Wave and Ice Beam is damn good coverage against Winona as well.

>>33230548

Good level up movepool, I meant.

Sapphire was my first Pokemon game and I had a nice one there but he was never really a main so catching him in Sun he pulled more weight than being relegated to primary Fly HM
