SwSh Starters Discussion

why do you give them old abilities if they could get better ones?
also I dont think they would make grass/ground a second time with Gorilla, that would be a waste of potential for it. Grass alredy withstands electricity... it would need fire or other coverage.
also the ice weakness was alredy wioth torterra enough...
a special attack with high special defense grass/ground with sound moves? would it make sense?
grass/rock or grass/steel would be better.

It actually would make a bit of sense, if sounds Grookey makes can potentially cause the earth to shake with just sheer noise.

but doesn't need ground typing to do that actualy.

That's like saying
"Charizard doesn't need the flying type to fly"

Hello fire/??? with Levitate?

also rocks are more related with sounds then ground... steel sends sounds faster through then ground...

Levitate means hovering, not actually flying.

fullfills the same role of avoiding ground and land based entry hazards,

Spoiler

a fire/ghost Gigantamax Charizard with Levitate if You would be able to cast it in that form directly
would take less damage from Stealth Rocks.
also would be very good against Ryquaza, Primal Groudon and other threats... no worries of rock moves and ground moves... but still would fear dark and ghost moves...

also a Charizard learns Shadow Claw... give it a special ghost type move and we have a deal...
pesky normal and fighting moves go fishing...

Yeah,I'd too, but people wont.it may be what I want, but I still think of the mass at large.
People are already complaining that Incineroar is just a hot, steaming pile of furryshit, so gamefreak doing more like it would just make things worse

You honestly think gamefreak cares?

as much as i would hope so, they don't.

Incineroar happens to be quite popular in Japan, and is the Smash representative. So saying that the popular opinion about it is “a hot and steaming pile of furryshit” is quite misleading.

If Sobble does end up with a trench coat like design, I could see the collar being a small lizard hood. Though it is probably too detective-ish possibly having his tail hold a bubble to resemble a magnifying glass. Maybe have the top of its head resemble a spy hat. I am hoping for him to look closer to an Iguana or Water Monitor though..

Yeah Japan doesn't seem to mind the humanoid designs than the west does. Maybe it's a cultural preference thing

2 stages were on all 4 feet. Only bad that wrestler need a good ability to protect against fighting types.

There literally is a non-flying type Charizard that flies........ Also, there are many non-flying type pokemon that flies.

to be fair, that was a bad analogy......

 

[Jolty94]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it =D
Yeah, and i noticed the speed thing, that's why the slowest of my trio (Bassimian) has two points over the fastest alolan starter (Decidueye)

Yeah I noticed it was slightly over Decidueyes. I'm still salty about it having such a low speed stat

Ahhh I'm dying to see all the starters second stages at least at this point..
