Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

[Wingnut]

Steel monotype is a personal favorite of mine. Unfortunately it doesn't have much leeway for team slot.

Skarmory and Celesteela - Dodge earthquake. I haven't play gen 8 so unfortunately no opinion on Corviknight.

Corviknight is just a better Skarmory really. It gets a much better ability with Mirror Armor and has better general bulk. It loses a decent chunk of P. Def but gains a large amount of HP and Sp. Def in return. The only thing Skarmory still does better is chip stalling/phasing because Corv doesn't get Spikes.

Given that we're in a bit of a post announcement lull I though maybe we could do something fun. If you were to make your personal favorite Pokémon team, what 6 would you pick? This can be based on any criteria you like, everything from their design to their competitive viability. Doesn't matter if they are all legendaries or all baby Pokémon. I'm just curious what kind of diversity we'll get in answers.

My 6 would be:

My dream team is

Murkrow
Toxicroak
Starmie
Aegislash
Heliolisk
Flapple

 

[graywolf88]

Partially based on my last team from Omega Ruby

Giratina
Lucario
Charizard
Pikachu
Salamance
Rhyperior

 

[SnowBall]

My dream team is based off personal favorites instead of competitive value. I have too many favorites so it was hard to come up with a perfect dream team.
Pidgeot
Aggron
Blaziken
Hydregon
Gastrodon
Articuno

For a non legendary team I’d replace Articuno with Haxorus or Gavantula.

[Gutpuke]

Sableye
Galar Linoone
Breloom
Mimikyu
Alola Marowak
Armaldo

A lot of people have picked Scolipede. I wonder if game freak was surprised by how popular that one roly poly boi actually is.

A lot of people have picked Scolipede. I wonder if game freak was surprised by how popular that one roly poly boi actually is.

Aside from its design, I'd say the main reason it's so popular is because it's a fast as fuck posion/bug type that can hit decently hard.

Galar Linoone

Did you mean Obstagoon?

 

[Bunny Tracks]

A lot of people have picked Scolipede. I wonder if game freak was surprised by how popular that one roly poly boi actually is.

I just love it because it's an eight-foot-tall centipede that weighs over 400lbs, and is still somehow lightning fast. If they ever bring back ridable Pokemon, I really hope Scolipede's one.

Fuck Charizard, Pidgeot, Lapras, and all those guys. I'm riding a horse-sized arthropod that only gets faster the more it moves.

How do you ride a Scolipede? It moves as fast as it does, because it curls up and rolls around like a wheel.

speed boost, man. it's also a weird centipede horse, which is a neat design.

Really? I thought it could also just scuttle around really fast, and I could just slap a saddle on it.

 

[Xerxes IX]

Gen 5 made bug Pokemon badass and I loved it.

 

[Toma]

Bibarel
Marshadow
Starmie
Flareon
Drifblim
Gastrodon

Would you believe you're both wrong?

According to the Isle of Armour, it doesn't roll or scuttle. The closest thing I can describe it's movement to is a low gallop.

the animations were made in Sun and Moon's time, bro, that's where Furret Walk came from, too.

I was actually very torn on including Venusaur or not for that exact reason. Venuel was a bro.

Also: Happy 500 Pages! May these next 500 pages continue the slight optimistic trend that came in at the end of this 500.
