Electric rodents can go die in a fire

They suck. They all copied Pikachu and failed miserably at that. They all deserve a +6 Stone Edge from Landorus-T. Come at me.

I agree with the above though i will say Emolga wasn't too bad actually. Similar cuteness and little bit less power though still very decently helpful for battle.

The flying type is a plus! That's original, specially for a rodent.

The electric rodents aren't that bad.

Sure, they aren't too great competitively but at least they are cute and kids love cute characters. Also, there's ones like Emolga who has a useful type combination and Dedenne whose type combination is unique to it.

Ouch, that's a little harsh :/

While I do think they're largely an attempt on the part of GameFreak to cash in on the Pikachu success, I still think they're all adorable :3 Plusle and Minun are two of my favorite 3rd gen Pokemon, because of how cute they are :) I just hope they one day make one that's at least a little competitively viable :c

I would like to add that a Pachirisu was on the world championship tournament. That's a good example of how *almost* any Pokemon can do it!

Is this a parody of the Charizard thread? Lol

Stat wise, none are particular stronger than the OU/Uber Pokemon or Pikachu, they aren't really copy-paste of Pikachu either. They could have all won the competition that Pachirisu won if they are literal carbon-copies, in terms of battling capability. Lmao

I like their designs for the most part, and I mainly judge pokemon on design. I feel like Dedenne and Pachirisu are a great designs, just cheapened a bit by the electric rodent tradition, but not made any less cute.

Sometimes I want the people who decided on their stats to die in a fire!
Because I think they are adorable! And useless! So, so useless!
I don't think the Pika-Clone trend is ever going to stop. We can just hope that one day we get one that's not horrid stat-wise.

I like all the electric rodents especially Emolga due to their cuteness.

2014 Pokemon World Championships Finals, Pachirisu MVP. 'Nuff said.

I know. This was a sarcastic thread if you couldn't guess already xD

And Pachirisu can also work as an Assault Vest user from what I know (in singles).

Speaking of other triumphant Pachirisu, there's also Ninjarisu from Marriland's Platinum Nuzlocke. He has proved to be a useful team member while initially underestimated, but he ended up proving that cute can be a fighter as well and ended the series as one of only two survivors from the final battle against Cynthia, alongside Extremely the Leafeon.
