dragons are weak to dragon, lucario is weak to fighting, tropius is weak to flying, ALL ghost are weak to ghost.

Seriously did you live under a rock? It's nothing new in pokemon games.

Someone on the device team.

That's not even the dumbest thing about Gen 7 Pokemon.

Alola's regional bug doesn't reach its final form till you're almost finished with the game.

What a pessimist

He's strong against his own type

Ghost was weak against Ghost since gen 1, retard. What pisses me the fuck off is that psychic types are now super effective against Ghost types. That's some fucking A-grade horse shit.

Everything you said is wrong.

What? Ghost is a counter to Psychic, not the other way around.

They aren't. Gengar and his line are ghost/poison which is why he's weak against it.

>caring
>EVER using the grass starter

What else would you use? The faggot mermaid or the ugly punching cat?

retard

>not picking grass every generation
Last two gens of Grass have been shit, though.

>43 base speed

>faggot mermaid
yes, godly typing of water/fairy. It learns everything and smashes everyone.

I spent so long looking for a way to make it work. in the end would rather have had a toucannon

it's an owlyowl world bro

the typings are so off from previous games, I wrecked my friend in his first casual battle with me because all of his shit had a weakness to fighting that he didn't even realize, and my Machamp just low sweeped half his team to death

I swapped grubbin out for dewpider immediately

>a bird pokemon somehow how less speed than a fucking brontosaurus

Its also one of the few good new special water types too. The rest are either defensive or built for physical attacking.

>This butthurt people chose the superior starters than your edgy fag archer

Long-necky Becky there has a high speed throat, stretching is fine, the legs can catch up later

>being this stupid
I sure hope this is bait. If it's not, then it's "dog eat dog" world, not "doggy dog" world

Gen 7 is the first gen that has zero good starters of any evolution.

How is it "off" exactly? Your friend just couldn't plan around fighting types. Fighting went from one of the best types in Gen V to being significantly weaker by Gen VII.

>I'm not the only one who's done this

HUG ME BROTHA

I wish I'd picked Popplio. Litten was a mistake.

That's why you get Superior Magnemite.

>the typings are so off from previous games
They have barely changed since gen 2, actually the only changes were the introduction of Fairy and the (necessary) nerf to steel. I seriously hope you're not trying to say that gen 1 typing was better, where psychic only had one weakness in bug and there were no good bug types or bug type moves in the game. It was horribly imbalanced and thank god they fixed that by bringing in steel and dark, and making ghost beat psychic rather than vice versa.

Mah nigga, who's your favorite? Venusaur's mine as well as my favorite Pokemon overall. Torterra's awesome as well.

Its lack of learning Thunderbolt naturally disturbs me. That and having two other pokes weak against ground hurts it place on my team.

Cat has some surprising bulk the few times i've used him in battle spot.

Just leaving this here

Why and how?

Empolean is the best starter bar none

But it has access to discharge and also is Steel which is hella defensive type on early game, given the proper conditions it can solo that fucking Lurantis.

Is the perfect partner for Decidueye

I'm still reeling from Chesnaught.

Seriously, what the fuck.

I'd ask for clarification, but you neither made this nor care what it means.

I hope this is astetics and not usability

Also owl is great fuck you

>Dem Sinnoh starters

Thematically and typing God tier

That is my opinion actually, someone posted that chart and I rearranged it to my own tastes.

Why do you care about this shitty game? Just enjoy the porn it generates instead.

>Le sneaky archer
>can't learn any poison type attacks(toxic doesn't count)

Ya'blew it gf. Could have at least given him poison jab.

Then what the hell do you have against Chesnaught? It's Ferrothorn with the ability to fight back.

looks in order except
>autism seal and autism snake
>not shit tier
>>>/furaffinity/

...

My team ended up with more physical based the special based which caused some problems. Its my fault that happened but he just isn't shining on my team like my other attackers are.

>Incineroar doesn't get poison jab
He was almost perfect. I guess leech life is alright though.

Gen V has the worst starters but Contrary Serperior is actually solid.

>game introduces 2v1s
>allows for horseshit like taunt+torment in one turn

Sceptile, with Torterra a close second

I want to like Decidueye more, but everything and the kitchen sink packing crunch/night slash/etc. lategame really hurt

>Then what the hell do you have against Chesnaught? It's Ferrothorn with the ability to fight back.
but Ferrothorn can fight back, that's the point of it. You meant to say Ferrothorn with shit typing, ability, and stats

all d/p starters were amazing designsman, put empoleon back in top tier where he belongs

I love Decidueye but he's just Ghost bait.

Poppilo a shit, especially from what I've seen that they're all male. Fucking faggot ass mermaid.

yeah, owl gains ghost type just in time to get bodied by almost everything, which is a bummer

>what is Mental Herb

>Samurott
>anywhere but shit tier

That's what you get for not having Golisopod as your first bug choice.

Why does everyone hate him?

No it can't. Power Whip is the only offensive move Ferrothorn has in competitive, and even then, that still requires sacrificing a move slot from Leech Seed/Spikes/Stealth Rock/Thunder Wave.

All Chesnaught needs is Spiky Shield, and it can fill the rest of its moveset up with offensive moves.

>using starters at all
I can't remember the last time I didn't box my starter before it fully evolved.

why does the archer themetic thing not show in gameplay

what of his stats have to do with archery

That's too bad. My lonely Incineroar is laying the smackdown on everything. NuLeech Life is amazing.

Sorry, meant Leech Seed/Spikes/Stealth Rock/Ingrain.

his shitty hidden ability

You don't have to use a starter for more than five minutes, you know

>emboar above anything

>Caring about this

>Not caring about the fact that the SUN POKEMON IS WEAK TO FIRE

>that speed

if I wanted a slow Bug I would've gotten Parasect or some shit, he even has a better Special Defense

Gen 7 was a mistake

Friendly reminder that if you chose Popplio as your starter you basically played the game on easy mode.

I have yet to see someone hate Swampert while not baiting

good taste lads

>Mega Torterra; basically grown a planet on it's shell becoming, Atlus callbacks
>ability invokes Gravity on everything
>Mega Infernape; Goes full sun-wu-kong and rides a cloud. Also uses it's tail as a bo staff
>ability invokes Magnet Rise on everything
>Mega Empoleon; Grows a royal beard to resemble Neptune
>ability: Water Bubble or Huge Power
yes or no?

Owl is a pivot pokemon, shackles punishes choice item users especially banded fighting moves and is better then ability based traping mechanics due to it being a move not an ability

Ghost is his hard counter, but if someone swaps in ghosts onto a spirit shackle they're gonna get wrecked anyway.

Owl archer also has good mixed defenses

>spirit shackle
A what?

Araquanid is better. That fucking ability.
His only fault is that it takes awhile to get a physical water type move.

Mine's quiet so that doesn't help him too much either, at least not on the physical attack stat anyway.

Decidueye's Sig. move

>he still thinks were getting new megas

bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Spirit_Shackle_(move)

The only reason why I would consider Owl over any other gen 7 starter on my singles battle team.

thanks for proving why megas are a mistake stats-wise. the design idea's seem a bit ok to me though.

>80-power Mean Look

Interesting. Still not worth just bringing Funbro instead.

So can I actually use a totem Wishiwashi in battle?

This. 4kids Fairy type a shit.

The fact that decudieye punishes any form of choice item user who uses a normal or fighting move is enough for me to use him as a pivot.

Only reason I chose rowlet over popplio was because I was too lazy to soft reset until I got a female popplio. Also, I'm still upset.

i was going to pick the owl when i thought it was grass/flying but when I found out it was grass/ghost i changed my mind to wrestling cat

weirdly i wasn't going with wrestlecat because im sick of fire/fight starters, but when i found out it's actually fire/dark it cemented my decision

sure if I wanted to be a fag

"Punish"? The instant they see Decidueye, they're going to switch immediately. And I mean IMMEDIATELY.

And since there are a fair number of usable Normal-type Pokes out there, most prominently Mega Kangaskhan, that's not any kind of threat.

Feraligator is my favorite starter bar none but he is terrible performance wise. Also
>Samarott
>Emboar
>Everything mashed up in the high and TOP tier
I don't think you realize how tier lists work. You have to fill all the tiers up or it doesn't make sense.

>Popplio
>superior
woah, slow down there buddy
oh wait

You picked the most the savage pokemon in existence. You made the right choice user.

70 is not exactly a major step-up from 60, especially not with all the other wasted mixed stats

>Anything you just said

>a bird pokemon somehow has more strength than a fucking brontosaurus

kill yourself clownfag

Forcing a switch is still a win though. And how is Mega Kangaskhan going to kill Decidueye with its normal and fighting type moves?

it is when your bulk is so shit you can't survive a single turn with it when the Meta is nothing but physical attackers
