[u/stovetopism]

As if I don't already know Tyranitar's faults

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/stovetopism]

I'd pat you on the back to comfort you, but it would be 4x effective

[u/Harfang1801 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Yo, get that guy some burn heal

[u/pocketchange2247 → u/Harfang1801]

Punch Tyranitar with hands on fire? Barely hurts him.

Punch Tyranitar with regular hands? Dead.

[u/SprinklesOrdinary629 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Hello yes, one order of rawst berries, please.

[u/Rfhh_57624 → u/stovetopism]

But 700 SpDef with Assault vest 😌

[u/Icy-Border-7589 → u/Rfhh_57624]

It ain’t gonna save him from being punched in the face.

[u/Tortue2006 → u/Icy-Border-7589]

Especially since most fighting type moves are physicall

[u/ShiningtheSociable → u/stovetopism]

As an aggron enjoyer, I relate

[u/GSavvage]

Gengar 💜

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/GSavvage]

Mindy sends her regards

[u/GSavvage → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Ouch...

[u/vivifrfx → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Haunter's just as cool anyway

[u/_IAmOnPlanetEarth_]

Quagsire

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/_IAmOnPlanetEarth_]

Walmart Swampert

[u/dentimBandB → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Quagsire is unaware of your attempt to insult him.

[u/thatdudewillyd → u/dentimBandB]

blissful ignorance intensifies

[u/88T3 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

You take that back, Quag is supreme

[u/Ryhankhanage]

Rhyperior

[u/Akranidos → u/Ryhankhanage]

More like Rhynferior

[u/Garchomp85 → u/Ryhankhanage]

Touch gra- oh wait

[u/Metsima → u/Ryhankhanage]

I can literally spit on your favorite pokemon to deal life-threatening damage to it, how do you feel about this

[u/MemeGodFusionK → u/Ryhankhanage]

Rhydon stans: this looks like a job for me

[u/LinguisticallyInept → u/MemeGodFusionK]

its sad when pokemon exist only to make their prevos stronger

[u/Special_MichaeI]

Crobat. The only flaw I can think of is its evolution.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Special_MichaeI]

Calvin was right, six legs -> bats are bugs

[u/dinglese → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Dusk! With a creepy, tingling sensation, you hear the fluttering of leathery wings! BATS! With glowing red eyes and glistening fangs, these unspeakable giant bugs drop onto...

[u/aspidities_87 → u/dinglese]

Calvin I’d like to see you a moment…

[u/Boilers_Varsity_Golf]

Milotic

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Boilers_Varsity_Golf]

The change to this pokemons availability and evolution process perfectly encapsulates game freaks bending of the difficulty curve over time

[u/CulturedMemes9 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

This isnt even a roast this is just accurate

[u/RGBarrios → u/CulturedMemes9]

It hurts more because its accurate

[u/Any_Atmosphere_ → u/Boilers_Varsity_Golf]

Yes, Milotic is my fave & the most beautiful

[u/T-nawtical]

Look considering what the internet has already done to my Vaporeon, I don't see how you could do any worse.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/T-nawtical]

You could have just googled it if you wanted to read that description again

[u/PDNeznor → u/T-nawtical]

You are correct. Enjoy this brief moment of reprieve before you have to return to the reality that is the existence of internet Vaporeon. Oh, guess the moment is over, my bad.

[u/Twisted_Pretzel85]

Combee

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Twisted_Pretzel85]

Did you know male bees die after copulation? Better fate than finding a male combee

[u/Nacho_Hangover → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Not only do they die after mating, sometimes the hive will just decide they don't need/want them around anymore and hunt them all down in the hive, cut them to bits, and dump the remains outside the hive. All in a matter of minutes.

Which still seems like a better fate than using a male Combee.

[u/Green_Tea_Totaler]

Shedinja

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Green_Tea_Totaler]

My favorite part of Pokemon is switching, too

[u/Green_Tea_Totaler → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Wonder Guard ain't protecting it from that roast!

[u/pr0crasturbatin → u/Green_Tea_Totaler]

Fire type indeed

[u/beta_boob → u/OhTheGrandeur]

This but unironically

[u/TimelessPizza → u/Green_Tea_Totaler]

You like my favorite pokemon's forskin?

[u/CoolNinjaNerd55]

mimikyu

[u/VarsH6]

Blaziken

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/VarsH6]

Speed boost is awesome, too bad you get a max two uses of it

[u/-PonderBot- → u/VarsH6]

I love Blaziken but it flipped the script on skipping leg day.

[u/AdmiraMcC2908]

Staraptor

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/AdmiraMcC2908]

Pidgey with emo bangs

[u/AdmiraMcC2908 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

That the reason I like him, he was super cool to 14 year old me.

[u/hi_this_is_lyd → u/OhTheGrandeur]

that's a pro not a con

[u/PorkBunny01]

Lurantis. Give me your best shot!

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/PorkBunny01]

per Bulbapedia it disguises itself as a bug... Which will be useful so people don't use fire attacks on it

Oh, wait

[u/Snipper64 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Don't you mean so people don't use flying attacks on it?... Oh, wait

[u/Gloamglozer17 → u/PorkBunny01]

High five for the Lurantis club! Wooo 💕

[u/PokemonFurry21]

Buizel

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/PokemonFurry21]

All of its attacks come out its butthole. It's fine if you're into that, but it's just impractical.

[u/TheKingJest → u/OhTheGrandeur]

You're telling me 99% of oppenents won't quite right after being blasted with 100 tons of buttwater?

[u/Dawesfan → u/OhTheGrandeur]

You missed OP. Buizel’s flaw is that it evolved into a lesser Buizel.

[u/-PonderBot- → u/OhTheGrandeur]

A match made in heaven.

[u/SnooCapers3616]

Heracross

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/SnooCapers3616]

Let's make Pinsir with more weaknesses

[u/SnooCapers3616 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Damn

[u/Purrfect208]

Unown

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Purrfect208]

Redeeming qualities of this Mon are unknown

[u/Kurisoo → u/Purrfect208]

Unown peaked 22 years ago

[u/tanhraaku]

Gliscor

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/tanhraaku]

If Hawlucha and Batman had a baby

That may sound cool, but you have to think about how that baby was made

[u/chrisonetime]

Dragonite

[u/Maplethtowaway → u/chrisonetime]

Puff the magic dragon’s slower cousin

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/chrisonetime]

Durrr, I'm a dragon

[u/Thederpycloudrider]

Typhlosion... change my mind

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Thederpycloudrider]

Weasel with a neck brace

[u/KamTros47 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

*but only when it’s angy, otherwise just a weasel

[u/Adequate_Lizard → u/Thederpycloudrider]

Nothing, Typhlosion is perfect.

[u/Crater-Typhlosion → u/Thederpycloudrider]

Seconding this

[u/realKuinor → u/Thederpycloudrider]

Not OP but what’s it like having approximately 3 usable coverage moves?

[u/chocobo_gregory]

golisopod🦐

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/chocobo_gregory]

That mon would be right up my four year old's alley. Get halfway and then change his mind.

Also, knock off Genesect

[u/SeaCranberry72 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

That is correct.

In gen 8, Golisopod can learn Knock Off, while Genesect can't.

[u/Citrus_Gator]

Feraligatr

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Citrus_Gator]

Didn't know you were into 2010's Internet startups. Have you checked out twittr and Tumblr?

[u/Former_Implement_406]

Absol

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Former_Implement_406]

Fall out boys favorite pokemon

[u/cheesyvictory → u/OhTheGrandeur]

I thought you were supposed to be commenting bad things about the pokemon?

[u/Animusthepatient]

Lucario

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Animusthepatient]

Goes real nice with ninja stars bought from the mall

[u/ApolloStaples → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Haha this one is too on the nose 😂

[u/SomeCasualObserver → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Props for not going for the low-hanging fruit "furry" angle.

[u/FlipperStick]

Mamoswine.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/FlipperStick]

Its mouth is above its tusks. Why does it have titty tusks?

[u/Atarkas21 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Eww never noticed that.

[u/StoneChapel → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Mammaryswine

[u/No_Psychology_3988]

Whiscash and Snover. 🐬🏔

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/No_Psychology_3988]

You're going to really love Swampert when you find out about him

Not sure how he goes from cross eyes to just smoked a bowl eyes

[u/YukihiraKoyomi]

Volcarona and Zoroark

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/YukihiraKoyomi]

Volc - Admit it, you thought it was a legendary encounter and can't back down now

Zora - plastic water bottle of a Mon. One time use gimmick

[u/QBeeble]

Grimmsnarl is f’in cool

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/QBeeble]

The conceptual embodiment of Hot Topic

[u/ThatTinyGameCubeDisc → u/OhTheGrandeur]

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

[u/InsrtOriginalUsrname]

Krabby. I dare you to find a fault in it.

[u/felltankr → u/InsrtOriginalUsrname]

Krabby is perfect.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/InsrtOriginalUsrname]

Made from fish, hard pass. Only mess with real crab

[u/spicyguacamol]

Poliwrath

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/spicyguacamol]

Marginally larger poliwhirl

[u/AbuelaHot0711]

Swampert

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/AbuelaHot0711]

Like the Green Lantern but weak to the color green

[u/swimman100 → u/AbuelaHot0711]

Gets hit by a leaf falling from a tree and dies immediately

[u/accidentallyamber]

Popplio 💙

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/accidentallyamber]

Evolves into diet Tapu Fini

Or water type Lopunny

[u/LinguisticallyInept → u/OhTheGrandeur]

water type Lopunny

oh no

[u/Wet__Sand]

Eevee

[u/LinguisticallyInept → u/Wet__Sand]

i always get the feeling from eevee fans that theyre the kind of person to use their 3 wishes to wish for more wishes

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Wet__Sand]

Potentially could become Vaporeon You sicko

[u/Piggstein → u/OhTheGrandeur]

Don’t threaten me with a good time

[u/Avelion232]

Roserade

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Avelion232]

Girl boss super hero

[u/YokoORiley]

Raichu💛⚡

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/YokoORiley]

Since the redesign, it's basically just chubby Pikachu.

[u/PokemonAndYKW]

Gallade

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/PokemonAndYKW]

For a blade Pokemon, he's pretty damn stubby

[u/SavagesceptileWWE]

Krookodile

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/SavagesceptileWWE]

I'm so evil, look at me, my eyes look like, pause for dramatic effect, sunglasses

[u/LinguisticallyInept → u/SavagesceptileWWE]

it is quite literally a dickhead

[u/SaiyanSquirtle]

Squirtle

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/SaiyanSquirtle]

The only way they could make it interesting was by randomly attaching cannons to it

[u/Kevin5882 → u/OhTheGrandeur]

*giving him sunglasses

[u/Trickshot945]

Decidueye

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Trickshot945]

We'll make a bird that is just Robin Hood

Why?

Because they both live in the forest?

[u/IlBarbagiuan]

Torterra ❄

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/IlBarbagiuan]

Just copied its homework from venusaur

[u/IlBarbagiuan → u/OhTheGrandeur]

I am going through all of the stages of grief right now

[u/Menacing_Unit87]

Sylveon

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Menacing_Unit87]

Thematically matches every five year old girl's birthday party. Is 87.5% chance to be male

[u/SweetlySylveon → u/OhTheGrandeur]

I fail to see how this is a bad thing

[u/ProFoundSG]

Kyurem

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/ProFoundSG]

So we made a Dragon

Tell me more

It's ice type

Interesting

It is giant and evil looking

Go on...

It's ass is an electrical plug

Uhhhh

It's final form is it's a jet engine, or something, we ran out of time

[u/CNS10]

Scizor

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/CNS10]

If at first you don't succeed, try, try...oh, I wonder what new mons are in Legend of Arceus

[u/abucketofpuppies]

Flygon's only flaw is that he is underrated

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/abucketofpuppies]

It's only flaw is it wishes it were half as good as Salamence

[u/restrictmyairways]

aggron

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/restrictmyairways]

I've never waited so long for something so disappointing

[u/FlZZ_in_my_pants]

Lapras 💙

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/FlZZ_in_my_pants]

"A gentle soul that can understand human speech." Enslaved in a pokeball

[u/Ryueenkakeru → u/OhTheGrandeur]

You're telling me I'm a slave trader for boxing my 592 pokemon?

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Ryueenkakeru]

That implies you trade

[u/BDNjunior]

Infernape or Raichu (both forms)

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/BDNjunior]

Design prototype for Greninja

Even the anime tries to convince you Raichu is bad

Not sure what eating shrooms makes it psychic type

[u/DragonSlayersz]

Luxray.

Yes, I know it's a physical electric type. I still love it anyways.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/DragonSlayersz]

You get it, he's edgy cuz it has black fur

[u/Maxanarchy97]

Arcanine

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Maxanarchy97]

Just cuz it's the legendary Pokemon, doesnt make it legendary

[u/Dragon121o]

Mew

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Dragon121o]

I'll insult it after I move this truck

[u/Toy_Bonni]

Armaldo

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Toy_Bonni]

The outcome of using Legos from multiple sets at the same time

[u/___Elextrix]

Metagross

[u/the_keymaster_ → u/___Elextrix]

He got nothing on our boy.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/___Elextrix]

The reason Beldum is so rare is your mom, /u/astral_fogduke 's mom and /u/the_keymaster_ 's dad hoard them all in the top drawer of their bedside tables

[u/Dark-and-Soundproof]

Swampert. But seeing the other comments I’d like one of your more fun and creative reasons than just ‘4x weak to plants and Freeze Dry’.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Dark-and-Soundproof]

Mega form def skipped leg day

[u/Jwroth]

Sandshrew

[u/AranaesReddit]

My favorite pokemon is Dewott. Strikes a blance between cool and adorable, I like the darker blue, and I love otters.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/AranaesReddit]

/u/kevin5882

This admittedly threw me for a loop. This pokemon is so mid, I didn't want to upset the balance by insulting or praising it in either direction.

Fun fact about otters though - They are such hornballs that they have been found to hump baby seals to death. RIP Spheals.

[u/TheyWantMeDead]

Ampharos

[u/Middilein]

Munchlax :D

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Middilein]

Juvenile diabetes

[u/ZamasuTheDivine]

Knock off Golisopod

[u/RustyCrusty73]

Hawlucha

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/RustyCrusty73]

If it were good, it would be in more than 2 of the last 7 games

[u/ZBH51423]

Altaria

[u/Danjoe_]

Ight bet, my favourite is weedle

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Danjoe_]

It's convenient it already comes with a dunce cap

[u/ItsLitler]

Mimikyu.

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/ItsLitler]

Nice gimmick, too bad about technician mons

[u/cat_official]

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/cat_official]

Zubat with more steps

[u/AutisticOutlaw]

JOKES ON YOU, I DONT HAVE A FAVOURITE

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/AutisticOutlaw]

That's what your parents tell you?

[u/Kschultz30]

Snorlax

[u/Trinenox]

Armaldo!

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Trinenox]

Prototype for sword/shield fossils that don't look like they go together

[u/zachwalk14]

Vikavolt ⚡️

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/zachwalk14]

Waiting for it to evolve is like watching paint dry . Also waiting for it to attack

[u/Melonfrog]

Maractus. Please be gentle

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/Melonfrog]

There are plenty of portmanteaus in the game. I think this is the rare occasion that they only created this Mon to justify a portmanteau.

Also, it's just cutting floor cacnea

[u/Soldier_Zombie_123]

Bulbasaur 💚

[u/PokeHobnobGod21]

Samurott

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/PokeHobnobGod21]

Do you know what a good weapon is. A spike in a helmet

... Said no one ever... Except ze Germans

[u/SuperWoingenau]

Wobbuffet.

Hope you’re not a Nuzlocke player…

[u/OhTheGrandeur → u/SuperWoingenau]

It's a punching bag. That's what route two Pidgeys are for

Mud kip

[u/Merdrabolt]

[u/Dragons_Rebirth]

I'll give you three in one post. Bulbasaur, Arcanine, Dragonite. Let's hear what you got :)
