Ban on Future Fusion? Ruined my Machina Jinzo deck. :C most of the Meta is dead... Sighs.

This thing becomes especially overpowered in Black and White as a Sweeper. Right now its a pretty good Defensive tank. Surf / Ice Beam are main STAB moves, although its good for walling more than attacking. 7/10.

Where did ZM go, actually? :C Sludge Bomb VS Cacturne... Uh. Cacturne. We have problems with them?

Curiously, how much damage does Armads do to Fire Dragon? with Hector at max strength... etc.

So true. The fire dragon looks funny.

Because, and yes. I've found using swords as Hector has no real purpose.

Shiny Oddish recently in Pokemon White. I've had others besides the Gyarados, Shiny Gastly from Soul Silver Shiny Geodude from Platinum Shiny Tentacool from Emerald

Wouldn't Lethe be able to find you / track you anyway? B.

I really constantly kept running out of weapons to use by the end of Chapter 10, I nearly used up everything heh :C

Didn't take into account that Bellossom was pure Grass type. Bellossom would perhaps be a better choice. Changing my vote to 7.5/10 for Bellossom

Now, Vileplume and Belossom are very similar. One has 10 more Sp. Atk, the other has 10 more Sp. Def. Leaf Stone is available as early as the route with the Weather Institute, (or the diving treasure guy where you swap a green shard for a leaf stone). Sun Stone is available from Mossdeep City, the space centre. Grass Types boon similar to Electric types, since Hoenn is full of water. Oddish becomes available before Mauville, which: - Resists Wattson (Electric) - Weak to Flannery (Fire) - Meh to Norman (Normal) - Weak to Winona (Flying) - Weak to Liza/Tate (Psychic) - Strong against Wallace / Juan (Water) And also stands a chance in Emerald, where Wallace is the champion. Electric is obviously a better type, but Oddish has a great wide range of Spores that deal statuses, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, Poisonpowder, although unreliable in the end. A moveset I'd run on Vileplume would be something like this: Sunny Day Solarbeam Sleep Powder Moonlight Or another attacking move in there somewhere. Just for Chlorophyll. Although someone did say speed doesn't particularly matter. Oddish / Gloom / Vileplume - 7.5 Oddish / Gloom / Bellossom - 7 The .5 on Vileplume for earlier stone availability and 10 more Special Attack.

Tallying for ZM456 because I am the nicest person in the world. Volbeat gets 5.17. Illumise gets 4.5 The next Pokemon are: / / (Oddish / Gloom / Vileplume) AND / / (Oddish / Gloom / Bellossom) I don't know if ZM456 wanted to have both at once or not, but meh doing it for him :C

Seafoam Islands. It's there for the last two Gyms and Lance. Seel/Dewgong. Not the best bases in the world. Ice Beam / Surf / Signal Beam OKAY for coverage, but it... does its job, I suppose. 6/10.

Is having no EXP gain from chapter 8x intentional?

5/10 for both. Don't really 'carry' you to Endgame, not that useful really. Moveset wise: Okay, however Bug pokemon are usually looked down upon.

Well, maybe you should make a score as well. Otherwise I would have tallied it for you :P

Nope, the doubled unit won't attack back. Doubled units only attack after the unit attacks, so no. Dual Guards still work I think.

ZM456 MISSED 4 days~ or 3. ...uh, are you waiting for more votes ZM? xD

Well, Doduo/Dodrio I admit, is fairly late. That base 110 attack and 100 speed is nothing to laugh at, the rest of the bases are, especially HP (60), Sp. Def (60)... etc. It learns Drill Peck at level 47, which means it's stuck with Peck for a while (unless you give it a TM). Early Tri Attack is pretty good too. Tri Attack / Drill Peck and Steel Wing? for Coverage seems meh. 7/10.

I honestly don't see it living after using both swords dance and agility. It doesn't look like it can live after one of them either.

That's true. I'd probably say 1/10 is best for it, although I honestly did try Farfetch'd once... and it didn't do as well as I expected it to (obviously).

Oh god. I thought the next Pokemon were Volbeat and Illumise. Oh well. We're going by Hoenn dex, not national. Anyway, Magneton and Voltorb appear in New Mauville, which requires Surf to get to. This is after the 5th Gym. Magnemite / Magneton - 7/10 In Emerald, this Magnet is better for the same reasons Electrike is good. Due to the amount of water pokemon in this game. It however, only is usable with Thunderbolt, which needs the TM. Otherwise it is stuck with Spark for the rest of the game (oh wait, Zap Cannon). Level 62-, nah. Magneton shall get less points than Manectric due to lower speed stats. Magneton also has 15 more sp. attack than Manectric. Hm. That and lack of type coverage. At least Manectric gets Bite. Voltorb / Electrode - 7/10 +1 bias (8/10) Voltorb is awesome, Lvl 21 Spark is good. But then the rest of the moves really don't work out for it, unless you like Explosion. Electrode has amazing Speed, which is amazing, but it really doesn't need it that much, when Manectric has 25 sp. atk base higher than Electrode. It doesn't learn TBolt, so it requires a TM, otherwise it is stuck with Spark. Also has no move coverage just like Magneton. Shame. I however will give Voltorb some bias for being awesome in my game.

Farfetch'd oh my god. What did Game Freak do to this bird. That stick, however... is another story. I'm not going to use Both agility and Swords Dance. It needs both. It's bases are horrible. 2/10. And I'm being generous here. Movepool is shallow. Typing is like the other birds, just that this one particular bird is poop.

Magneton is so gooood!.... Competitively in 3rd gen at least. Magnet Pull is useless in Kanto, there won't be that many Steel types (none at all probably) and your opponents usually never switch out anyway. Movepool is not really worth it at this stage, and Steel doesn't get a special STAB until next gen. 3rd Generation Magneton isn't that great. Magnezone ftw (who is actually slower than Magneton). 6/10

Funny how the next two Pokemon are clones as well. Sigh.
