Also, the leak shows a picture of it in-battle, which is where people are getting the idea from. And it wouldn't make the entire game bad, that is true, I never suggested just the one thing would, but it would likely make people like him less for having a Pokémon (a Mega, no less) that doesn't fit with his team. I know a fair amount of people who dislike Flint for that reason. |

Yeah I'm not a fan of Charizard's overusage at all. It feels like pandering, and it's repetitive.
It wouldn't make sense for Steve to have one considering his type is steel, a type that didn't exist in Zard's own gen. |

Pokemon characters never really had good proportion though. I mean what 10-year old has breast that big? I'm gonna remember though, they'll probably look way better in the games themselves so I'm not complaining. And they will hopefully allow for customization again and could (hopefully) have outfits similar to the older designs. |
I love the designs for mega sceptile and mega swampert! I'm gonna be choosing both since I plan on getting both versions. The only thing I find unnecessary is lightning rod on sceptile. It doesnt make sense. Thick fat would of made it OP though.
I'm not liking the bow on May. I prefer her bandanna and her hair and eyes look a little off. Brendan looks a little weird too. I think its the eyes. I wish they kept his short bangs though. I liked the mystery of not knowing whether he had white hair or a white hat lol I hope we can customize their hair like in x and y I love all of team aqua's redesigns, but I only like the grunts and the female admin in team Magma. I think they butchered Maxie and the male Admin |

I think I prefer how Team Aqua have been redesigned over Team Magma, but they both look spectacular. I'm really impressed with how they've gone with these two.

I hope that we can get their original outfits at some point. My favorite out of the three is the Emerald outfit. |

As for Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver, to my knowledge, the 4 Rocket Admins didn't really have any "old" designs from Generation 2 other than generic Team Rocket Grunt artwork (which practically everyone uses for Team Rocket bar Giovanni, IIRC. Additionally, I don't even know if there was any female Team Rocket Grunt artwork prior to Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen, so there's that.) In my opinion, the designs granted to the Rocket Admins with the advent of HG/SS mesh well with the standard Rocket Grunt designs anyway (lean design, usage of dark colors for the most part, with the white colors receiving precedence in other Team Rocket outfits). Ariana retains red hair (possibly looking even more imposing/elite than the Generation 2 design) and Archer still looks menacing, so that's not too much fuss. Archer, Proton, and Petrel all looked rather similar, so I guess people were in favor of them being "redesigned" (which wasn't too drastic, in my opinion); and at least you can still take Proton and Petrel's redesigns seriously. However, with Team Magma, we apparently now have, for lack of a better word (ugh, and I hate to indulge into stereotypes too much >.<) , a "nerd boss" and a "fat Admin". Regarding the former, although I guess a "nerd villainous team boss" is somewhat new, Pokemon has enough "nerds" as it is (Bug Maniacs, Collectors, Colress (who was somewhat part of a villainous team himself), Clemont, Scientists). I know there's more to those people than just being "somewhat-tall intelligent people with prominent glasses", but it's possible to be smart without glasses. As for Tabitha, going from "lean" to "portly" is just about the most jarring change you could make in terms of a visual redesign. None of the HG/SS Rocket Admins had that happen to them, so I don't see why Tabitha was redesigned like that. Also, essentially being Maxie's right-hand man, Tabitha has to do a lot of walking/traveling around (from Mt. Chimney to areas ranging from Seafloor Cavern, Lilycove City, and Mossdeep City, depending on how the storyline unfolds; IIRC, the anime even portrayed him as an agent/scout of sorts), and a "fat" Tabitha doesn't seem inclined to be doing stuff like that. As for change, I don't think people necessarily disagree with it; people just want good/sensible change. I mean, you didn't see someone like Silver's or Whitney's lean Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal designs suddenly becoming fat for no reason in Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver; their redesigns more or less retained the leanness of their original designs. There's ways of updating things adequately while still remaining faithful to the original designs (as opposed to drastic, out-of-nowhere changes).. Quote:

-Pokemon Origins - out-of-nowhere reveal -Super Smash Bros. 4 (Wii U/3DS) - stated to be Final Smash -The Strongest Mega Evolution, Act 1 (TV special that focuses on Mega Evolutions) I mean, is Mega Charizard Y just chopped kibble or what? To date, the only place I've seen Mega Charizard Y even advertised is on the initial reveal trailer that showcased the Kanto starter Pokemon Mega Evolutions to begin with; at this point, I'm wondering why Game Freak bothered to make it. I mean, Charizard is indeed popular (I'm a dedicated fan myself), but there are other Mega Evolutions, let alone other Pokemon species, that still deserve promotion. In addition, I think Mega Charizard X is disliked a little more because it goes against the original Charizard in a way (Charizard started out being specially-based, and suddenly becomes physically-oriented for no good reason. Additionally, "black-lustered Charizard" was originally a rare sight, reserved for the hard-to-get Shiny Charizard, but the wide availability of Charizard's Mega Stone makes "black-lustered Charizard" ridiculously common now), not to mention some questionable design elements (wing shape and randomly-positioned spikes).

Shocked that they gave Steven Charizard. There's a point where they need to forget the marketing aspect and maintain some level of realism. Sure, it makes some sense seeing as he is in the hunt for information regarding Mega evolution, and Charizard has two of them, making him a primary specimen for research, but that's not enough for me to warrant them breaking away from his typing specialty.
May does look abnormally skinny, although the angle and contortion of the picture may have something to do with it. No major alterations, but from what I can tell they look good. I was hoping Brendan's hat would come back :] Personally, I'm still going to go with May. I may prefer the original designs just a bit, but not a negative change at all. Team Magma and Aqua look awesome with their redesign. It's great to see that they're paying some special attention to them, their concepts deserve to be fleshed out a bit more. |
I highly doubt he'll keep Charizard. I feel like they are using it as a filler Pokemon to replace what they really plan to use. Mega Skarmory, Mega Metagross, etc. The picked Charizard to create the biggest buzz which would explain why he didn't use another Mega Steel-type.
|
Wow I just noticed that Steven has a Mega Charizard X. Well that's sad honetsly. I have to agree with some people here. Charizard has been getting too hyped lately, it's kind of annoying. I'm hoping at least some of his original team is in-tack. And if he's interested in Mega Evolution, then maybe he'll have some other mega of his other team members. I.E. Mega Metagross.

I bet Steven will have the Charizard for one reason, and that's to show you how Mega Evolution works. They wouldn't change up his team, they'd have no reason to do so.

My main gripe with Tabitha's redesign is...they kept Courtney practically the same, except they gave her a mini-skirt instead of her original longer one. Why change Tabitha so drastically? He wasn't important to begin with, and even though he looked kind of like the Grunts, so did Courtney. Changing the Leaders is one thing but this just seems like a pointless change to give him a less appealing design. And it has nothing to do with his weight--Wulfric had a very unique, memorable design. At this point it just seems like he was made larger to make him "stand out" without giving it much more thought, which is a shame, if you ask me. Quote:

Yeah this kind of thing is bound to happen--I remember with the reveal of Mega Evolutions...at first it wasn't stated how they would work, and all I could think was, "This seems cool, but if there starts to be four stages of evolution the game balance would break and the power creep would literally be irreversible..." But once it was confirmed to be in-battle only I was much happier with it. There's nothing wrong with having a critical mind about these kinds of things. If anything, if fans are able to professionally express their opinions, it could even help developers create better games in the future. Quote:

As other said, Steven with Charizard is probably the demo people can play at E3. I don't think they would give him Charizard, plus Charizard isn't catchable in game and I doubt he will be.
|
Mega Charizard? Jesus christ Steven it's not even a mineral!
As for the new mega's, I really do like both of their designs! But both of their new abilities do seem a little odd. I'd like to know what base speed they're going to give Mega Swampert now he has Swift Swim. The new "prehistoric" forms for Groundon and Kyogre surely shows we're going to have a completely different storyline? I'm also looking forward to see if Mega Diancie will get implemented to the storyline. |
Mega Diancie seems so... random, for lack of a better word. Maybe it's because I'm so hyped about ORAS that my brain isn't functioning correctly, but I can't make any connection to it and Hoenn, whether it be storyline or environment or what. Could have something to do with Groudon and Kyogre's prehistoric forms.
|
I'm thinking Diancie will play some sort of role in these games having some involvement with the Mega Evolution storyline. I can't imagine them holding out until 2015 for a third game to XY if there is going to be one. Either that or they will just release as an event and make it so you can find a Diancite in Hoenn.
|
I think Diancie getting a Mega in time for ORAS is similar to Deoxys being in FrLG and having one forme for each one. It's just there for fans, and will likely not serve much of a purpose. Though I hope that it'll get some story like the Arceus-CT event in HgSs. Like take Diancie to some new area with undergrown crystal ruins with nothing but the Rock/Fairy it mutated from (Carbring?) which will activate a chamber that contains the Mega Stone for it.

What do you think we'll see at E3 that we didn't get in Corocoro? I'm hoping that they explain the Ancient De-evolution, or provide some clues into how we activate it. Also a trailer would be good.

Brendan's clothes look more similar to his Emerald ones while May's are closer to her Ruby and Sapphire clothes, at least in terms of color.

It was just obvious that Mega Swampert was going to get a meme though.
Spoiler:
|
I'll like to see how MegaSwampert looks on all fours. I think that it's round body and it having Swift Swim could mean that it's actually faster seeing how round edged cars and other vehicles are faster than sharp edge vehicles.
|
My problem with the evil team redesigns is that it's not faithful to the originals. Taken on their own, they're decent enough designs that for the most part actually look pretty cool. But they aren't the Teams Magma and Aqua that I knew and loved growing up. On the other hand, I really want to like May and Brendan's new art, but something just seems off about it.
I love the new megas, at least! Especially Diancie, omg. |
Is the fat Magma Admin really Tabitha? The other characters are recognizable (I don't know the names of the Aqua admins :P ), so it's probably him. Why they redesigned hi like that is a mystery, but it's not a bad design, just inconsistent.
I don't think Steven will even use Mega Charizard X so that isn't really that big of an issue. It's possible the demonstration Pokémon in one of the games will be Charizard Y to give him some love. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with X. I like both equally (though prefer X for his stats and type), and the shiny regular Charizard is dark purple, not black (it was only black in the 3rd gen sprites). Then again, the Pokémon community is annoyingly hard to please. People still hate Lyra, even though there's nothing fundamentally wrong with her design, because she's not Kris. On a side note, these new Mega Evolutions and Devolutions really got me excited for these games. (I never thought I would say this! Honest!) They also made me want to keep playing my X version and get back into the community. |

I'm really glad that they brought May's old outfit back (well, sorta); it suits her much better than one from Emerald, if you ask me. :] Also, I'm glad that Mega Sceptile became part dragon-type; was really expecting it to.

Yay for Grass/Dragon. It gives Mega Serperior the chance to be Grass/Dragon too seeing how before people said they doubted their ever make any starter Dragon (well Charizard X came first to break that). Hey maybe they'll make Feraligatr Water/Dragon so that we'll have at least one starter of each type with the Dragon type as it's secondary type. I say Feraligatr as I doubt Samurrott, Empoleon, and/ or Greninja's Mega will be part Dragon. Especially Empoleon... |

Total BST: 635 120/110/130/85/130/60 I'm sad about Sceptile. Dragon just gives it 4x weakness to Ice, and makes it weak to Fairy and Dragon. The only good thing is that it's not weak to Fire anymore. Mega Ampharos all over again. :( |

Wow I'm so excited!! SCEPTILE IS GRASS / DRAGON! My favorite starter getting Dragon-typing <3 Now I hope we have move tutors so it'll be able to learn Dragon Pulse ingame! Although, Lightning Rod is a really strange ability for it to have.
The redesigns look nice. Also, it looks like the overworld would be the same as Kalos's, obviously. And doesn't really look like customization will appear, but they could be saving that for later. |
Developing on what Zero Percent said, it was never stated that Steven was a Steel-type master. His team is Skarmory/Claydol/Armaldo/Cradily/Aggron/Metagross in the originals. Only half the team is Steel-type. All of them are "mineral" types, however.
Actually I prefer that his team isn't all Steel Pokémon otherwise he could be soloed with Blaziken. EDIT: Actually it's stated somewhere that he loves Steel Pokémon. Maybe they gave him other types to balance his team. |

Lance is clearly a Dragon-Type Trainer but only half of his team is Dragon-Type. Iris is also clearly a Dragon-Type Trainer, but as a Champion only has 3 actual Dragon-Types. Steven is the same--he uses 3 Steel and 3 Rock-Types to add diversity and challenge to his team, while keeping a matching theme, even though he is technically a mono-Type Champion. The only mono-Type Champion whose team is actually all of one Type is Wallace. But regardless, Charizard does not match his theme at all, as others have said, which is the main issue I have with it. |
Quote:
I hope Mega X isn't his Steven's ace, that would be a bigger cop out not having Aggron his mega signature or Mega Metagross as his sig debut. I don't even know if this Charizard specifically belongs to Steven yet. If anything, he might show it off once in a sort of "Mega Evolution tutorial" at the beginning of the game... but its not a Hoenn Pokemon. This a Hoenn game and Mega Aggron already exists. So I don't understand where this is going. Though, they could easily put a picture of any Mega there just to showcase Steven's reasearch topic I guess but why would they give Steven a Charizard anyway? I don't recall Lance's team changing between the original GSC games and the remakes. It's like giving Lance an Abomasnow in his remaked team; it doesn't make any sense. |
Looks like I was way off about no Mega Evolution until postgame.
Also why did they redesign EVERYBODY? Well, Brendan doesn't look different. May's new design is awful (always hated "Rosie the Riveter" headbands, think the knot in front is hideous) and why did they feel the need to change Shelly? Also unhappy that they're not incorporating the two-team stuff from Emerald... although if they do go through with Delta Emerald, it could be the best Pokemon game ever provided they don't nerf the difficulty. Hoping character customization returns, too... |
Quote:
Actually, that's what I'll be claiming until we get more information, ha ha! I just really can't bear to see one of my most favorite Pokémon characters using a Pokémon simply because Game Freak wants to include it in every possible little thing... |
It could also be advertising in a way for X by showing off a Mega whose stone could possibly only be found in X if they don't have in in either OR of AS.
|
The screenshots were so epic team magma and aquas new designs are really cool, and brendan is my boy so he looked awesome as well, i hope we have character customization like x and y
|
3 Days until E3. I wonder why Corocoro leaked an entire week early...it was almost as if it were planned...
|
I never expected the leaks to arrive this early (I thought it would be the day after Nintendo's E3 event). So now that we have Mega Sceptile and Mega Swampert, as well as Ancient De-evolution Groudon and Kyogre, how is this going to affect connectivity between X and Y in terms of trading and battling? I can't believe Masuda lied about Kalos Pokémon not getting Mega Evos due to being too recent. Is it because Diance is an event legendary that traditionally needs a forme gimmick? Branden's still got that grin from his original artwork, but the fact that he no longer has black hair kinda ruins a niche only him and Ethan share from the rest of the male trainers. I definitely like May's new outfit more than her original outfit; it's too bad she'll never appear in the anime once more in that outfit due to her Japanese VA retiring. What have they done to Team Magma and Team Aqua? I think Steven's Mega Charizard X is only a demonstration to how Mega Evolutions work, so it's not going to be part of his final team, which will have either Mega Aggron or perhaps a Mega Metagross, since it's his ace Pokémon.
|
I think Masuda was referring only to XY when he said that, rather than the generation as a whole.
I also think that it's only a demonstration. Maybe he'll show off other Megas other than Charizard X to the player, maybe to show us the variety of his stone collection. May could get a Seiyuu replacement and she'll reappear in the anime. Maybe the voice actor of Ranka...I mean Melotta will provide her voice... |
but why is nobody talking about the return of the mach and acro bikes
|
Quote:
It's possible they'll create some maneouvers for the Acro Bike for use with the Circle Pad, though. |
Quote:

Quote:
Still, it's at least nice that they got this info out of the way. Hopefully each new reveal comes with small bits of info like this so we have an idea of those smaller features that will be returning. |
They could easily make it an option in the bag to switch between Acro and Mach bike, therefore making it more like an add-on mechanic than an entirely separate bike. That would at least eliminate the tedious aspect of the feature, which I think is the main drawback. Otherwise, I like having extra obstacles during my journey, the routes can get extremely repetitive.
|
I have a theory, on the leak, the Mega-Charizard was shown in a grassy field background, not even suitable for a champion battle position. AND the screenshot of Steven, was in the fields. Im guessing, either Steven isnt champion, or you rebattle him postgame, since I doubt that you would battle him pre-Elite 4. He may very well have a steel mega during Elite 4. But not on the rematch, since he will have Mega Charizard X
|
Mega Sceptile is 1/2Dragon, and that settles my starter choice right there. Mega Swampert... steroids. Love it buddy.
AND ANCIENT DEVOLUTION PRIMAL LEGENDARIES ALL OF MY YES AND THE TEAM MAGMA & AQUA REDESIGNS AHHHHHH ARCHIE THO AAAAAHHHH i seriously need help ;-; |

Darn.. They turned my favorite badass team admin into a fat weirdo dude :(
Tabitha used my favorite pokemon, looked badass both in-game and in the anime! And in the anime he's one of the rare bad guy not to have had his pokemon faint to Ash's or to a bad plot device, yet he fought with the protagonists and the team rocket trio.. Oh well.. At least they did good with Courtney I guess.. :*( And now Archie wears tights, and looks less classy/vilainous than he used to.. I'm not sure about Shelly either.. And I really don't see why the trainer re-design was necessary.. They look anorexic now.. Nice message to send young people.. And honestly, May's and Brendan's clothes were some of my favorite protagonist clothing in the Pokemon series.. But, not anymore I guess.. :( And after laughing at Mega-Swampert at first, I'm kinda ok with it. Mega-Septile looks good in my book, they got rid of the huge tail thing that annoyed me on Sceptile ! :) Also, seriously, who ordered a Mega-Diancie ? Can we send it back for a refund, or another more deserved mega evo ? >:( And Steven kinda reminds me of looker in-game for some reasons.. But besides that, I guess I'm ok with what they did.. Well.. besides him having a charizard X and all... :/ I got a bad feeling now about what they'll reveal at E3.. I hope they won't get too much of my hopes up.. :/ |
Maxie and Archie's redesigns LITERALLY give me life. Maxie looks chill and Archie's so badass I can't stand it
Shelly and Matt are awk tho |
Archie looks perfect, and Maxie'd redesign is great too. They did a wonderful job with the evil organizations concept, so I hope they follow that up with a bigger role in the story in ORAS. Back in the old Hoenn, both Magma and Aqua had a lot of presence in the games, but their personalities weren't as developed as newer teams like Plasma and Flare have.

Well, there's the T-Wave immunity, I guess. And it's immune to Stun Spore, too. |

@ Pepperton or Cyrus (Galactic). N, Ghetsis, and Lysander all had personalities and we were told what they wanted and why. We know what Maxie and Archie want and why, but there seems to be no personal connection there. Maybe Maxie saw that the world was running out of land due to overpopulation, while Archie could've thought that they needed more water to...his makes less sense other than for the Pokémon seeing how it doesn't benefit both Humans and Pokémon like Magma's plot. If only it were Fresh water and not the sea that was expanding...
|
Quote:
Also if im correct, Lightningrod draws all electric moves, paring it with water and flying pokemon in double/triple battles, would be amazing. Since, water and flying Pokemon, loses a weakness, plus flying Pokemon takes out potential Grass threats. Also water resist ice. Flying takes out bug. Sceptile learns earthquake, so bye bye poison and steel. Its only real problem would be fairy and dragon. Sceptile, dominater of teamwork. |
Alright, so my take on the whole new stuff, i'm loving that there's actually something different than Mega Evolution going on with Kyogre and Groudon, even if they activate the same way for all I know, and about time the fit in Mega Sceptile and Swampert, which the typings are exactly as I imagined it, but looks and abilities not so much, but not complaining. Mega Swampert is JACKED, I'm glad i'm picking Mudkip to start.
Mega Diancie was a bit of a surprise, was hardly expecting a 6th Gen Mega so soon, but may be a one shot, unless there are more to come.... Mega Charizard X and Steven doesn't concern me at all. Does anyone remember the little demo they had for Pokemon X and Y where you got to go up a route, battle trainers and a rival, then Sycamore gives you a Mewtwo to demonstrate Mega Evolution? Honestly thats what i think its about, its like he's lecturing you about Mega Evolution, and then gives you or battles you with Mega Charizard X. Steven's most likely gonna get his well deserved Mega Metagross, or at least use Mega Aggron, but doubt that the Megas revealed are the only Megas... As for redesigns, not awfully concerned with them, May looks meh but I usually pick Brendan anyway. Magma looks not too bad, don't mind the chubby admin, and Aqua looks pretty boss, Archie could be better but will just be enjoying pulverizing him in Sapphire :D Can't wait for E3 to see more, or at least this stuff in action at the very least |
I hope they show off a few more Megas at E3. Maybe GF will release Corocoro leak and decide to add a Mega that isn't in it to surprise us like if one of the starters has a second Mega, or maybe Mega Johto starters. Or maybe they planned to not have the same info this time around and have something else to show without them needing to change anything.
I hope we get a trailer. We have yet to hear the music :3. |
You guys think Mega Swampert will have to run Rain Dance in its moveset to put its new ability into good use? Seeing that it's a bulky Pokémon with only one weakness, it could pull it off, but because of this, Sceptile will always still be the worst of the Hoenn starters.
Quote:

I was honestly hoping for a retro look to the game...kinda sad that it seems they've just copied the X and Y look... Makes me less excited for the game. Also I still hate Mega Evolution...
Whatever, I suppose. This might be the first time I skip out on a Pokémon game. *pouts and goes back to playing Emerald* |
Why do people hate Mega Evolution? It turns into gold everything it touches. You may not like the looks of the Megas, but the concept is fine.

Huh? Steven's Charizard is also Lv. 100... maybe they don't mean anything. Ah but that throws a nail into my theory that Steven's Charizard is just for demostrating Mega evolution to the player...

Like I know it shows them in the volcano and ocean, but if you look above and below the health bars, it kinda looks like a trainer battle, where each person has three Pokemon. Additionally, in the kyogre battle scene, in the bottom left, next to the Pokemon name, it looks like the mega evolution symbol. Wether the symbol belongs to kyogre, or whatever Pokemon it's facing I don't know, but if it belongs to kyogre, it might settle the whole "is the ancient devolution classed as mega evolution" debacle, as it has the logo next to its name, classing it as mega evolution. |

I like the new Team Aqua designs, they're really pushing the pirate theme, but Archie and the admins are pretty cool. Magma is just eh - Tabitha just looks like Xerosic now and Maxie's glasses look stupid. I don't even remember Courtney from the originals, so eh, not really fussed about her.
The mega-evos are fine. I kinda wish they didn't include the mega-evolutions, but if we have to have them, at least the 3 starter ones look interesting. I really hope Steven doesn't actually have a generic Charizard, he should really have a Mega-Aggron or something instead. Primal Groudon and Kyogre look interesting, I assume there's gonna be a Primal Rayquaza then, too? |
Judging from the leaks, I'm glad that Sceptile and Swampert are not left out in terms of getting Mega Evolutions. I'm still curious on how Ancient Devolutions works though. And Mega Diancie looks like a Princess, I like its design.
|
Courtney and Shelley looks so badass imo <3
Maxie looks like a smart evil scientist while Archie looks like a smug pir8 :) Tabitha became a big fatso while Matt is a reeeeeeeeeeeaaally big tank D: Nevertheless Team Aqua and Magma are sooooo badass :) Mega Diancie is soooooooooooo fabulous ;~; I'm kinda disappointed by the Hoenn Mega's especially Mega Swampert but what the hey, Mega Sceptile is so badass with his Grass/Dragon typing :) |
The more I see the picture with Steven, the less I think he will actually even get a Mega Charizard. The caption to that picture is essentially, "He also wants to chase after the mystery of Mega Evolution." Like, it doesn't make reference to his Lv.100 Mega Charizard at all. It honestly just feels like that picture is there to give an example of Mega Evolution...for the sake of the article. And also to see if anyone was paying close enough attention to the HUD slightly changing from XY's, but mostly just for the article. Maybe he'll have a Mega Charizard in some sort of playable demo, but to me it's looking less and less likely that he'll have one in-game (thankfully!).

Thinking about the whole primal thing.. Doesn't that reminds anyone of Primal Dialga in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky ? What if Primal Groudon and Kyogre had been corrupted in part through a similar process ?

Mega septile can now check Rotom-W thanks to lightning rod meaning competitively rotom's will be having hp ice from now on.
Also it looks like Swampert can now lift for realz and looks badass in its mega form. Swift swim is a great ability and will be a good pokemon to use in a rain team. Quote:
