Seems we sparked a rather interesting discussion while I was gone, huh?
Anyway, nice seeing Scolipede on that list - even at #14 i'm glad seeing my bro on it. And Stunfisk is on the silly side, but i've used it before in the post-game with B2W2 and once in XY, it's definitely usable since its Defenses are good all-around. I myself have used Watchog in both White 2 and White before, the latter of where it lasted me a good while up to the Elite Four. It was good stuff while I had it, it went all-out diabolic mode on Grimsley's Krookodile with Flash before succumbing to his Bisharp. =( |
Stunfisk is my favorite dopey pokemon of any generation. ('nother reason I love gen 5) Plus it has a really underrated unique type combination, ground and electric are two REALLY capable offensive typings that go fairly well together. The typical flying immunity to ground can't be abused since electric knocks birds around a fair bit. The only thing it can't handle is ground/flying. And hidden power ice plays well for that.
Speaking of stunfisk though - that was one of the first things I retrained in sixth gen, to bother Talonflame brave bird spammers. Bulk and flying resistance, with Static as an ability can really ruin that offense. |
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the glory that is Stunfisk?
Spoiler:
I love Stunfisk! As mentioned before, I really think people underestimate his strength as a pokemon. He's fully capable of dealing and soaking up damage on his own while also taking the title of 'most derp' easily. But it's one of my favourite parts about him - his design! Anyone else? And I've never used a Watchog, sorry! I was always one to use it as a HM slave though it doesn't seem half bad. One of my friends used it to great effect during a link battle we had, so go for it. But yeah, I think its design was what really made me say "lol no" when I first played through B/W. The rigid body posture and eyes, ugh. :( Come to think of it though, I haven't actually used any normal types in B/W. Maybe I'll try using a few in my next runthrough? |
THIS CALLS FOR STUNFISK RAP
Stunfisk standin in a corner dj aerodactyl mixin the beats mr mime showing off to a chatot who is too busy with her tweets stunfisk goes onto the dancefloor everyone is gaspin he does a whirl a twist and a twirl KAABAAAM wubwubwub KAAABAAAAM I suck at rap. XD But hey, I might get a Stunfisk and call it Sophie. >:) Yeaaaaaah, I'll get one! :D I already have a Patrat called Louise who is lookin' mighty fine and Super Fang is so awesome! And I could get a Blitzle, too! Maaaaybe an Emolga, since Double Team and Volt Switch appear to be quite... useful. >:) I hate planning teams. ): I'll totally get a Vullaby! Never used a Mandibuzz but it's Move set is good and it's stats aren't terrible. If I can get a Teddiursa I'll get a Ursaring! :p DAMN I CAN'T GET A TEDDY >:O Or a Miltank! >:I Does anyone know that if I use a DS2 on my DSi that I can connect to another DSi and schedule a trade? Thanks! |
I actually like Reshiram! I think it has a lovely design and works well with the Yin Yang concept. Never used Watchog but I've used Stoutland and I loved it. I even found a shiny Herdier on my White file! I do like Stunfisk too but my love for Scrafty made me feel crushed that the former was there and it was not. But I guess some people like to be silly. :P
@Nakara- Nice rap! And I believe you can trade between those DS's. @Aslan- Do a mono Normal type solo! :D I believe there should be enough Normal types: Watchog, Stoutland, Unfezant, Sawsbuck, Braviary, Audino and Bouffalant. You could use Meloetta if you haven't transferred it but mythical Pokemon tend to make the game easier. :P |
Maybe I will, haha. I'll look around for either my White or Black 2 and see how it goes.
Speaking of Braviary, does anyone else think it evolves too late in the game? At the very least, they could of thrown in a midway evolution or reduced the level to 40 as opposed to 54. Even pseudo legendaries don't have to wait that long for evolution. :( Regardless it's a great pokemon and one I'll look into using, monotype or not. I don't mind Reshiram either. As a person who prefers truth > ideals, it's the pokemon I relate to more. And the pure white design isn't half bad, it's quite angelic actually. (if that's the right word?) |
Braviary was cool, I remember using it in the post-game of my first time through White. It was fun, even if Sheer Force was rather wasted on it due to not having many moves to use it with. But at the same time, White 2 made it more interesting by allowing you to catch one at only Level 25 with its Hidden Ability on Mondays, which was a fun thing. I never used it in any of my plays through it, but that was really neat that they did. Amerikuh!!
Although this does make me want to do a PotW just to promote a bit more discussion in here. |
Braviary is one of my favourite Pokémon. I used one in White, and as much as I liked using it, I was really disappointed with how late you can catch it. I never got White 2, so I can't say anything about the one with its Hidden Ability.
But what I love most about it is what it's based on. I love birds, especially birds of prey. I also love how it has the personality of a soldier, as seen from both its design and its Pokédex entries. To be honest, it took me until last year to realise how much I really like Braviary, as I was rather indifferent to it at first. It's still a cool Pokémon regardless. Plus it has a pretty Shiny forme. Hey Pendraflame, I got a suggestion for a new topic. Perhaps we should talk about out favourite Gym Leader/Elite Four character of Unova. What do you think? :3 |
Quote:
Anyways, I do love Braviary for the same reasons as you said. It's a strong attacker and learns some powerful moves, and it's also cool that you can catch one with Defiant every Monday in White 2. It's actually really strong for most of the game, as Marriland's White 2 playthrough series proved. It's annoying that you normally get it so late, but it's definitely fitting given how strong it is, and it has a cool-looking shiny color as well. |
A Defiant Braviary wrecked me in the Battle Maison once. Didn't know that it had Defiant, switched in my Gyarados with Intimidate, proceeded to get wrecked....
|
And Odyssey, that sounds like a good idea. Since that hasn't been discussed yet, let's get on with one of them.
Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova? Enjoy! And I think after this i'll start Unova PotW's. |
Braviary. <3 I've never used it but I love its design. His counterpart, Mandibuzz, is amazing too. Anywho, a PotW would be awesome and looking forward to it. A word of warning: expect major Scrafty fangirling from me if it gets picked. ;D
Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova? I think it's got to be Roxie. Her gym is unique; in order to challenge her the music must be toned down and by doing that the gym's music feels different and her attitude is so spunky and loud. I love her design too. I also like Clay's cowboyish (also his gym theme in the sequels is so catchy) and I can relate to Burgh cause artist. :D |
Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
It'll have to be Roxie. Not only she looks rather cute, but I love the format of the Gym. Not to mention that she does make a pretty nice Poison type user, given her personality. Also, when the PoTW happens, you'll probably be seeing me fangirl over both Sawk and Mienshao... that is, when they get their turn in PoTW. :P |
Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
If I had to pick it'd be Cheren. It was nice to see him grow over the course of Black/White and later become a Gym Leader, and it was good to see him again (several times) in Black2/White2. They could've just included him all of like once or twice in the story, but they didn't, which is good. Also Brycen because Brycen-Man |

Partner Pokémon: Reshiram Reason for joining: Gen V is my favorite Gen by far. Favorite City: I always liked Nimbasa City since it had a great soundtrack, rebattling strong trainers, and a ferry wheel :P |
Yay! Another member.
Anyway, my favorite Unova Gym Leader would be Clay. His Gym has one of my favorite designs, and the music in B2W2 is pretty rad at that. And he's a businessman who mined out the entire city, taking it from buildings to emerald-hued buildings, which I thought was a really nice change. And as far as battling him goes, that Excadrill can prove to be a good challenge if you're not properly prepared for it (especially in BW where it has Hone Claws). also I need to update the OP, gosh darn it |
Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
I do love a lot of these Gym Leaders, but my all-time fave has to be Marlon. First, he specializes in my fave type, and he uses one of my fave Pokemon of that type (Jellicent). I also love his surfer dude-like accent and the design of his Gym, and it also doesn't help that I love Humilau City's design already. Also, I do love his rad hair hahahaha. Close second fave would be Elesa, along with Roxie, Cheren, Skyla, the Striaton Trio (Cilan, Cress and Chili) and Iris. |
Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
Elesa because she's fabulous Eh, probably Drayden. His gym is really cool, he's really cool, and Haxorus is really cool. |
Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova?
THANK U FINALLY!!!! Ok so firstly its Elesa cause im like in love with her shes mine touch her i kill u all! Anyways she is a great electric type gym leader! Shes is the first and i think only Female electric type gym leader! She is a model and is beautiful and is one of the few gym leaders that actually change their look but she actually changed her hair color and has those fabulous sunglasses on! Plus shes extremely pretty and beautiful and powerful and she has a ze strike as her partner! And she has an Emolga on her team plus she was actually a big challenge for me to beat unlike the others colt switch was annoying and her zebstrika is so powerful! And just look at her and tell me u can hate her :3 |

Partner Pokemon: Hydreigon Reason for joining: Unova leaves a special place in my heart Answer the current topic: I honestly don't mind, as long as I can have a Hydreigon or Golurk |
Quote:
Speaking of Golurk, I think it's cool how it can fly despite its body and lack of wings. In a way, he's like the Astro Boy of Pokemon, soaring on his rocket powered feet. How he flies, I still have no idea. But the fact that it's a huge flying robot's pretty amazing, wouldn't you agree? Hydreigon's awesome too! You've got good taste. I haven't used one myself but it seems like one of the best party members to have around for its vicious design and typing. Three headed beasts, heck yeah. That being said, welcome! Great to have you here. :] Who is your favorite Gym Leader from Unova? I'll go with the first gym leaders - Cilan, Cress and Chili. Gym leaders themselves don't have too much interaction but I remember instantly liking the three from when I first played B/W. Even though they're far from the most challenging, they all complement each other well, are great characters and have huge impact outside of the games. Cilan for instance, plays as one of the main characters in the later episodes of the anime. I don't remember much of Elesa but she seems pretty vibrant and eccentric! I'm not really interested in fashion models but her ability to juggle between parading and battling's impressive. She seems nice enough as well. |
First time I saw Golurk fly in the Victini movie I was like "WTF THAT THING CAN FLY?!" then learned that it can actually use the HM move Fly.
|
Who is your favorite gym leader from Unova?
I'd have to go with Roxie. Poison is a favorite type of mine, and I really like the theme of the gym. |
Who is your favorite gym leader of Unova? I'll have to go with Skyla. Though I believe Elesa has a cooler gym, Skyla has a pretty cool hideout. The cannons thingy was pretty cool imo, specially the last one that launched you to the beginning after you defeated her. The Pokémon she used fit her characteristic in the anime too, and I just really like her design. Speaking of the anime, the battle between her and Ash was pretty awesome. |
Who is your favorite gym leader from Unova?
Skyla! =D Not only is she hot, powerful and capable, she shoots people out of cannons on a daily basis. >:p My dream job! Roxie is a close second 'cause she's a rock star and specializes in Poison types! :P |
