It's an unfortunate occurance in the Pokemon games...pokemon with amazing designs get shafted with terribad stats, typing, and/or movepool.
Such pokemon are the focus of today's thread.
- Whats your favorite pokemon with an amazing design but crappy combat potential?
- Do you let that deter you from using it?
- What would you do to make this pokemon a better combatant? (alter their base stats? alter their movepool?)
For me, my favorite such pokemon is Garbodor. I'm probably one of like, seven people in the fandom that doesn't hate the poor thing, and when I tried using one in my first White playthrough, I was thoroughly disappointed with it's shallow movepool and awkward stat distribution (I expected it to be a lot more defensive, but it's premier stat is its ATK).
I kept using it though, as a Toxic-staller, all the way up until the E4 where I replaced it with the Zekrom. XD
Personally, I'd take twenty points away from its base ATK and SPD and reallocate it to DEF and SP.DEF, giving it a stat spread of 80/75/92/60/92/55, and if I'm allowed to up its BST, I'd round up his HP, DEF, and SP. DEF to 100/105/105 to give it a 520 BST. XD
