Will single stage Pokemon ever be fixed?
They pretty much always suck unless they're mega or legendary.
>>33514094
Not all Pokémon are created equal. Some are meant to be FU shitmons.
>>33514094
correction: early/mid-game single stagers
mons like Durant and Tauros are plenty useable
Ability: Stare Glare
Opposing Pokemon have a 50% chance of being paralyzed at the end of the turn.
>>33514094
It should get illusion as a standard ability/
DUDE EVERYTHING SHOULD BE COMPETITIVE LMAO
I'd rather have more pre-eveolutions become viable. why can't I use ivysaur?
>>33514338
>dude shitmons lmao
kys
>>33514094
Regional forms are the way to go
There's no "fixing", some Pokemon are meant to be shit
>>33514917
>dude competitive lmao
I can keep this going all day

You don't have any arguments. Gamefreak clearly supports competitive pokemon. If they didn't, they wouldn't nerf gale wings, vgc wouldn't exist, mythicals and box legends would be allowed everywhere. Give me a reason why every fully-evolved mon doesn't deserve to have at least 500 BST
>>33514338
No but they could make every mon intersting to use.
>>33514094
Skarmory and Mantine are pretty good
>What is Snorlax?
>>33515150
>what is munchlax?
>>33514094
Pikachu is strong though
>skarmory and mimikyu are OU
>alomomola, heracross, klefki, mantine, smeargle are UU
>always shit
really makes me think
>>33515138
Mantyke.
>>33515228
There's no such pokemon, Mantine is a single stage mon.
>>33515248
Mantine has a remonaid on it that's cheating
>>33515115
Because if everything's competitively viable, then no one is
>>33514094
Hawlucha, Skarmory, Mimikyu are pretty good
Shitmons like Stantler literally have nothing unique about them. Even lesser used single staffers like Bruxish and Comfey have unique niches
>>33515115
supporting competitive pokemon and exclusively catering towards competitive pokemon are two different things amigo
>>33515115
Pokemon's an RPG dipshit. There are supposed to be weak things because that's how progression works. If Raticate was made specifically to have competitive stats then you'd have an OP killing machine at the first badge.
>>33514094
Okay yeah but Skarmory my dude.
Gotta think about it for a little while longer next time.
Jk, I feel like gens 2-4 we're really bad about unusable single stages.
Skarmory and Electabuzz notwithstanding.
Of course, buzz got a crossgen, so he's sitting pretty.
Dunsparce mega when?
>>33515552
This.
Competitivefags literally cannot see Pokemon for what it is and have to separate competitive into its own vacuum to justify their views of the game. They create two entirely different universes called "competitive" and "in-game" and completely fail to realize they are supposed to be parts of the same damn game and are symbiotic with one another.
>>33514116
Durant is only good for battle facility cheating
>>33515552
>There are supposed to be weak things because that's how progression works
This is why evolution is a thing.
Competitive doesn't necessarily mean op and there are already early game Pokemon that shine in competitive, see Shroomish, Abra, Slowpoke.
>>33515167
A mistake
>>33517825
Because every Pokemon needs to be equally good at everything.
>>33516608
Ability: Gamble
>has a 75% chance to double the power of any move used, but a 25% chance for the move to do no damage
>>33514338
everything should be not shit in my opinion
