[Maractus] vs Audino
 

Black and White Weekly Poll: Maractus vs Audino

The one we find too much... and the one we can never find!
Who do you pick? Discuss!



Hikamaru February 5th, 2012 6:01 AM

I choose Audino cos they chuck out so much EXP if you knock it out.

Going on an Audino slaying-fest trains you up very fast.

Plus, Audino has a much better movepool than Maractus as well as the helpful Regenerator ability.

Maractus is cute too, but movepool is too shallow.

That is why I choose Audino.

Juicy February 5th, 2012 6:02 AM

Well Audino is quite ugly in my opinion and I like the colour green so I'm going to have to side with Maractus on this. At first I didn't really like either though but Maractus is growing on me, the more I look at it the cuter it gets.

deoxys121 February 5th, 2012 6:07 AM

I find Audino to be much cuter than Maractus. Audino also makes for a good supporter role. Maractus may have a good Sp. Atk. stat, but that stat is no good when you consider Maractus's horrible movepool. Audino, for sure.

Rhapsody February 5th, 2012 6:23 AM

Audino are so very useful. Although, I feel mean when I kill 25 in a row XD

Pokebreeder22 February 5th, 2012 6:41 AM

I love Maractus. Such an interesting looking Pokemon, and very easy to train in my opinion. I bring Maractus with me when I am looking to catch some lower level Pokemon for breeding.

Xander Olivieri February 5th, 2012 6:43 AM

I've never fought a Wild Maractus in any of the Black or White Copies that I've played and the Trainer AI doesn't usually have them fight very well. Audino I run into many times. If I hear the rustling I dive bomb that patch and murder Audino inside XD

Gunna go with Audino.

Souma February 5th, 2012 6:51 AM

I'm sorry Audino. I know you want me to love you, but I only love you for your experience and simplicity to kill!

Maractus falls into my "looks great, but tends to be ignored" category. Finneon falls into that category too. Someday, I want to make a run with those pokemons.

miltankRancher February 5th, 2012 6:57 AM

Audino for the win. though a really not overkill for that. I have no opinion regarding the two, but I am voting for Audino just because I find it harder to find, than the cactus. And for me Cactusmon is like a fail Cacnea, while Audino is a pseudoChansey.

Zelda February 5th, 2012 7:17 AM

MARACTUS IS SO UNDERRATED, IT DESERVES TO WIN.

Lemme just tell you this Pokémon is SO CUTE! Look at that smile!!! It looks so bashful and Audino just looks like "oh look at me im perfect, so gonna win!!". ;)

I'm sorry but Maractus is just so...great. ♥ IT GETS MY VOTE.

Eucliffe February 5th, 2012 7:21 AM

Though Audino is a good EXP bunny, I like Maractus a lot more. I think it's cuter and a bit more efficient in battle (reminds me, I need to pick my White back up). Plus, it's a maraca cactus; can't go wrong with that!

Cordelia February 5th, 2012 7:36 AM

Maractus is much much better than that stupid Audino. I just love that cute little Pokemon, whilst I hate Audino and slaughter them every chance I get!

VOTE MARACTUS FTW

Gonzo February 5th, 2012 7:39 AM

Maractus looks epic. I love it!
Audino is a great exp source, so I kill'em off... A massive Audinocide I don't really mind.

Because Audino is in all grasses and Maractus is hard to find, Maractus wins and gets my vote

Ho-Oh February 5th, 2012 7:44 AM

Nono guys, who is there to help you to get stonger? Audino ;; Reward it or something!

Either way, Audino looks the cutest out of both. :3

Keiran February 5th, 2012 7:48 AM

^Maractus sucks don't listen to them. Audino #1.

Zelda February 5th, 2012 7:52 AM

LISTEN TO US! Maractus even has the better abilities, and I mean WAY better. Especially its DW ability. Storm Drain will raise its spA when hit by water moves, and it's base spA is already high as well. Perfect combo right there.

Water absorb doesn't raise any of its stats, but still gives the Pokémon HP which is pretty good as well! I think we all know who wins here!!

Ho-Oh February 5th, 2012 7:57 AM

Well Audino can help out its team mates with WISH and then Regenerate its own HP, something Maractus can't do. It can only help itself!! Oh yeah, and Audino can further help team mates with dual screens, it's just so helpful. Maractus is so bad if you go on Smogon there's "no strategy found" yeaaaaaah it's not even good enough to get a strategy.

blue February 5th, 2012 8:16 AM

Intresting poll this week! I chose Maractus simply because it's such an underated Pokémon and I love it's design. Don't get me wrong I love grinding Audinos for exp but Maractus is cuter. Also I can see them both getting pre-evolutions, Chansey eventually got Happiny and I can just see something for Maractus.

yeah, I checked out Smogon a little while ago to counter with something competitively, but no! There is no strategy for the Cactus. Audino has way more to offer, with access to Wish, Protect and other stalling moves. Really a pseudoChaney for me. It may not offer as much, but at least it offers something.

Nick February 5th, 2012 8:35 AM

I'm voting for Audino because Maractus is the ugliest Pokémon ever.

XEL February 5th, 2012 8:46 AM

To be honest, I found both to be extremely ugly Pokemon. I came to the thread intending on voting for Audino since it gave out large chunks of HP, but after seeing the pictures in the first post.. Although still hideously ugly, Maractus's Dream World picture just looks slightly cuter than Audino's.

Kenshin5 February 5th, 2012 9:00 AM

Both of them don't seem to be exactly original as already said Audino seems to be a Chansey like pokey, and Maractus like a Cacturne. But unlike Maractus Audio seems way more usueful concerning EXP and Healing(especially in Rumble Blast). Maractus seems to be one of the forgotten pokemon of the generation, I dunno what it is I just don't fine it very appealing. For me it is one of the last options I'd use since there is Snivy line, Simisage, Whimsicott, Lilligant, Ferrothron, Leavanny.

Mew~ February 5th, 2012 9:48 AM

I'm saddened by the fact Maractus isn't as popular as other Pokémon this generation, it's actually pretty cute and could be as useful as Audino used properly.

But yeah, I agree with Kaori, Maractus is underrated.

Yoshikko February 5th, 2012 9:53 AM

Don't like either of them but I especially don't like Audino because it is like a cheap Chansey rehash and Chansey is the best so voting for Maractus. Also DA slaughtered me with it a while ago in battle so I guess it deserves some credit.

Overlord Drakow February 5th, 2012 10:17 AM

Arrr I voted for Maractus but now I want to change my mind and vote Audino ¬_¬

Audino at least has some purpose in giving a tonne of EXP upon slaying one in battle.
