Here's the story:
I'm currently doing a Poison monotype challenge in Pokemon X and just battled Korrina in Geosenge town. Was pretty tough until my Croagunk leveled up and learned Revenge, then it was fairly easy.
Immediately on the next Route I bump into a guy with a Sigilyph and it sweeps 2 of my Pokemon with Psybeam before I can really leave a dent in it.
That's where Swalot comes in and tanks like a boss.
If it weren't for Swalot's crazy special defense I probably would have lost a battle to some random NPC. This thing just saved my pride and I was sort of dreading having it on my team though I knew I'd probably need it.
To each their own but I never really liked Swalot. Gulpin's kinda cute but Swalot just never did it for me. I'm probably still going to swap it out for something a little tankier if it comes along, but I have a new-found love for this little blob.
So this thread is dedicated to the Pokemon you didn't know you'd love. What's your story with them? Did you get them because of a challenge and dreaded it, only to be pleasantly surprised later on? Did you just not know what to expect?
