The Bulbasaur Race [Part 2]

12, it's cute and I used a gliscor once

Ah Gligar... one of many Pokemon that gained evolution in 4th Gen, and a very worthy one at that.

14 speaking of, i may get one in my hg replay

It quite needed Gliscor as an evo and I really like it. It's one of those Pokémon whose type had always confused me, I could have sworn it was part Poison earlier. But I can't complain about this one: use two in a double battle and Earthquake away!

I don't use two of the same Pokemon in one team. But using a Gliscor with Earthquake alongside a Flygon with the same move in a double battle sounds like a good idea. Or how about a Gliscor with Earthquake and a Zapdos with Discharge?

Okay, that sounds like a whole lot better idea. I think I actually trained two Aerodactyl with Earthquake for doubles on my FireRed at some point. (The game doesn't have a lot of double battles sadly. A shame, I like those.)

Next is Steelix.

I prefer Steelix than Onix so ...

Steelix is awesome, and a welcome evolution for Onix.

Is it good in battle? I've never used one ....:3c

I used it in Hoenn's Battle Frontier and it's really strong ... until you encounter a special sweeper, then you're dead. Luckily those NPCs don't switch around their Pokémon very often, so you're fine using them.

Also, Pursuit isn't much of a problem for it, because it's a physical move. And back when it was special, Dark resisted Steel.

 

[kingdenas]

16

Cool! I might try using it in another gameplay >.<

You should definitely try it out sometime. And if you don't want to spend a Metal Coat to it, you can always catch wild ones in Iron Island for example. :)

I still occasionally forget they changed all that, but I guess it was necessary to rebalance the game upon adding fairies. It's quite the pain for Pokémon such as Metagross and Jirachi though. :(

There are also ROM hacks that change the evolution methods of Pokemon that normally need trading to evolve.

I always thought Steelix was a pretty cool Pokémon, especially since it evolves from one of the original 151.

Cross-gen evolutions are almost always awesome. Too bad we haven't gotten anymore of them since Gen 4.

Sylveon says hi!

...but yeah, not many indeed. Some Pokémon could really use one. Delibird, Corsola and Luvdisc come to mind.
