Incineroar was a very solid defensive pivot during this metagame) and then went on to again be great in NU

Dudun got a great niche in draft, and dunsparce also got way better in draft.

Dusknoir and Electivire are two cases impacted by "Gen 4 happened and the Physical/Special split happened". Their pre-evolutions in Gen 3 would have relied on Shadow Ball (physical) and Thunderbolt (special) as their stabs. But Electabuzz evolved into a Pokemon with a better physical stat while getting no new Electric physical move, and Dusclops did the same while losing Shadow Ball (since it became Special) and they didn't even gave it Shadow Claw... It's infuriating to me how many generations it took to give some of these Pokemon a good stab of their main type AND main offensive stat after the split, or at least one without drawback (not counting the two-turns moves, not counting Wild Charge). Poltergeist didn't happen until GEN 8, and we are only now unlocking Superslam Cell for Pokemons like Luxray who needed this SIXTEEN YEARS AGO!

How we don't have more parity between types and attacking spreads kinda baffles me. It's cool that certain types only get a strong physical spread move or a priority attack, but it really kills some mons. The lack of reliable fire priority or high BP physical ghost moves limits so many pokemon. It's not even hard to balance, just don't give it to pokes that have high base stats. It's an easy buff to existing mons.

Since Mr. Rime is known as the Comedian Pokémon, it should 110% get Chilly Reception. It would be amazing in higher tiers with the ability to be a faster pivot compared to Slowking. Plus it'd get a Defense boost and Mr. Rime has low Defense

@loudwhispre9406

23 күн бұрын

Being a slow pivot is the entire point of Slowking. Slow pivots get hit before switching out, which protects the incoming Pokemon from any damage. Slowking is very bulky, so taking the hit to protect other Pokemon is fine, since Slowking can take the hit without dying. On top of that, it has Regenerator, an ability that heals you when you pivot. Mr. Rime would definitely not become a higher tier Pokemon off of gaining Chilly Reception. Mr. Rime has worse HP, Defense, and Special Defense than Slowking, while also lacking the automatic recovery that is Regenerator. And in pivot wars, going last is great because you see what the other player pivots to *_BEFORE YOU CHOOSE YOUR SWITCH-IN_* so you even get to counterpick their switch-in. So Mr. Rime is completely outclassed by Slowking for being less bulky, having less recovery, and contrary to your point, Mr. Rime having better speed makes it a worse pivot as well. Would Chilly Reception help Mr. Rime be useful in lower tiers? Absolutely. He has respectable bulk for those tiers, is quite hard-hitting, and even has a decent speed stat to outspeed bad Pokemon. But he'd never be a higher tier anything, let alone a high tier alternative to Slowking.

Electivire main flaw really is that they made it slower without really making it bulkier, the thing has almost as much bulk as Electabuzz without its good speed. Electric has the advantage of only being weak to ground which is probably why most of them are frail, so if Vire had good HP and defenses it could likely crave niches as a bulky mixed attacker, especially if it got Bulk Up earlier.

I simply got Electivire with a physical build and Zapdos with a special build, making sure to give Electivire Earthquake and Zapdos Discharge. The Electivire and Zapdos combo served me pretty well back then when I was playing doubles. For some reason a lot of people just didn't expect Zapdos to use Discharge and give Electivire a speed boost while damaging both their Pokemon and then have Electivire use Earthquake.

Dunsparce was always going to be a fat snake. That's literally the story it's based on.

Two major ones I feel you forgot about: Lickilicky: improves on Lickitung but not in any viable way. Too weak to be offensive, decently bulky but no recovery* and slow to boot. It just doesn't do anything... and its usage reflects that. Literally its only set for like the past 4 generations was Wish passing and yeah... it wasn't even particularly amazing at this either. You also have to consider that Wish was a Gen3 PCNY event move (like Wish Chansey) which meant that actually using it was mostly limited to simulator (because very few people actually have this Pokémon on cart) and wasn't even legal in any official metagame and will be summarily deleted in any future game as well. Bellossom: It genuinely doesn't do anything better than Vileplume. It trades SpA for Def which is insane because Vileplume is probably the most well known for being a good physical wall with its Effect Spore and Strength Sap making it one of the best repeated switch-ins to Fighting types that aren't Guts. Instead it loses its Poison typing which comes a gen too late to be a benefit and replaces it with... nothing? I guess? Basically making it a worse Tangela. It gets Quiver Dance in later generations but it's so slow it needs at least 2 to outspeed anything and even then isn't usually strong enough to OHKO stuff even at +2. It's also susceptible to all status (bye Toxic immunity!), all entry hazards and doesn't have any particularly hard hitting moves.

I don't *mind* that double battles are the official format, and I actually kind of love double battles - maybe even to the point of preferring them to single battles. But Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company do a *terrible* job of showcasing the 'official competitive format' in any main line Pokemon series, to the point where the 'official' format is almost only ever a primary focus in *spin off games* of all things. Colosseum and Gale of Darkness both featured double battles all throughout the series, as the *main form of battle* in the games, and yet the main series games leave it relegated to post game content like battle towers and story mode content where you find an NPC to pair up with. It just doesn't make sense for them to say that they mainly balance around doubles and then the release of the game is *nothing but single matches* - there is just a massive disconnect in communication there from the developers to the players.

Giving a bad Pokémon an evolution is like giving a bad sports team a high draft pick. The additions need to be complementary of what the Pokémon needs instead of something that won’t actually be useful in the long run. Part of why Kingambit remains as strong as it is nowadays is in part because it was an evolution of a Pokémon that was already considered viable on its own.

Electivire is very scary running up like that, I could hear the loud thumping of his feet

Funnily enough, I own the Fall Dusk Holzkern and am getting another Holzkern in the mail today

Sirfetch'd, a real evolution of another joke pokemon called farfetch'd says hello, so that excuse doesn't work.

Most evolutions have failed to help Pokemon because mechanical changes are the ones that actually buff them. Tangrowth, Politoed, Slowking, Kingdra, and Scizor all reached OU status in gens after the gens they debuted in. Some OU Pokemon like Weavile, Gliscor, and Togekiss had to wait for buffs or limitations to the Pokedex to become truly dominant. Even Magnezone is slightly outclassed by Magneton in DPP OU. Kingambit, Roserade, Blissey, Annihilape, and Archaludon are more exceptional than we might realize.

What floors me about Dudunsparce is that this feels like a troll move. They knew people were asking for just some way to make this Pokemon worthwhile and reach its full potential for years, so they basically slapped together the most unimaginative design they could think of as a fancy way of saying "There, there's your evolution! Never ask us for this again!"
