~Fighting type POTW~

http://i.imgur.com/hFSjg1A.png
Hawlucha

Although its body is small, its proficient fighting skills enable it to keep up with big bruisers like Machamp and Hariyama. With its wings, it controls its position in the air. It likes to attack from above, a maneuver that is difficult to defend against. So here it is, the Fight for the right to Fight! A Pokemon/Dojo Club POTW Entry #4, Hawlucha

1. Have you ever used it competitively or in game?

2. What do you think of the overall design of Hawlucha?

3. What do you think of Hawlucha's Fighting/Flying type combination and its signature move, Flying Press?

4. Were you surprised when Ash caught his own Hawlucha in the XY anime?

5. What do you think of its shiny form?


Also, the new topic is..... Who is your favorite FIGHTING type gym leader in the Pokemon games, and why?

I look forward to everyone's replies! :)

1. Only competitively, as I don't own XY or ORAS.

2. Pretty decent, after all it's the Wrestling Pokemon.

3. It's Flying/Fighting-type seems weird, but it means Hawlucha's not weak to rocks and can check Ice-types fairly effectively. Flying Press is a decent move to use in-game but useless competitively.

4. Hmmmm... not really. Perhaps a bit because it was Ash's second flying-type mon, but it seems like the writers can't take advantage of Talonflame being both Fire- and Flying-type, which would save one slot.

5. It's meh.

So far my favorite Fighting-type Gym Leader would be Maylene. Since she broke the Fighting-type's stereotypes in so many ways: The first important female character to directly be associated with the type not to mention she has pink hair, which is special for a Fighting-type specialist. Her personality seems to be different than most of the Fighting-type users! :)

Brawly's my favorite among male Fighting-type Gym Leaders!

Thanks so much guys for all responding to the POTW! I plan on having a new one up soon. Also, I have to agree. Maylene was and is my favorite fighting-type major user to this day. Especially since I started Pokemon with Diamond. :)

Updating everyone's points now! :)

Thank you!
Senpai, new topic please?

VillageofDragons September 1st, 2015 1:21 PM

Okay, NEW TOPIC!

Who is your favorite Fighting type Elite Four member from the Pokemon games/anime, and why??

The choices are Marshal and Bruno. :)

Poké Bean September 2nd, 2015 4:15 PM

Senpai!

Username: Spoony6205 (though it will be changing to Spoonacross soon!)
Your FIGHTING type nickname: FIGHTING type Student
Your Fighting Type Club Campaign Partner (You can choose only one): Heracross
Reason for joining the Dojo (Club): Ever since the original announcement of Pokken Tournament when I first thought it would just feature Fighting-types I've started to look into Fighting-types more and appreciating them more. To be honest the designs of several Fighting-types has traditionally put me off on the whole but now there are some I'm rather fond of. Hopefully being part of this club will strengthen that and also teach me how best to utilise them in battle!
Answer to any one of the current topics: What made you love FIGHTING type Pokemon? As above, but also the fact that Heracross is part Fighting-type and it's the only Bug-type to have that combination! The Mega Lucario story in the anime also turned me into a Lucario fan, I loved how he struggled to come to terms with and control his power!

I love Marshal's design as well! Additionally, he's the one who really posed as a challenge for me. He makes me wary everytime I'm against him! :'( While there's no official leader the Elite Four in the Unova region, I would say Marshal would fit in the role of Unova Elite Four leader.

Hello Skyxyd, welcome to our Fighting Dojo!
Mega Lopunny is awesome! She can hit Sableye and Spiritomb directly with ease.~

~Fighting Type POTW~


http://i.imgur.com/EnUBnDI.png
Toxicroak


It has a poison sac at its throat. When it croaks, the stored poison is churned for greater potency. Its knuckle claws secrete a toxin so vile that even a scratch could prove to be fatal. So here it is, the Fight for the right to Fight! A Pokemon Dojo/Club POTW Entry #5, Toxicroak


1. Have you ever used it competitively or in-game?


2. What do you think of the overall design of Toxicroak?


3. What is the best move it has?


4. What did you think when Brock caught his own Croagunk (pre-evolution of Toxicroak) in the Diamond and Pearl anime? Was it funny seeing Croagunk Poison Jab Brock and dragging him away repeatedly throughout the anime each time Brock tries to ask out a girl?


5. What do you think of its shiny form?

I look forward to everyone's replies! :)

Poké Bean September 9th, 2015 6:56 PM

Toxicroak

Have you ever used it competitively or in-game?
I haven't used it competively but I have used it briefly in-game. I love amphibians and it's one of my fave Fighting-types so I want to give it a proper go in the future. I like that's it's got a unique typing.

What do you think of the overall design of Toxicroak?
I really like the design. It looks strong and as if it's ready for a fight as well as giving off a toxic vibe! The claws are cool!

What is the best move it has?
I don't know it's best move but the moves I like to use are Poison Jab and Drain Punch.

What did you think when Brock caught his own Croagunk (pre-evolution of Toxicroak) in the Diamond and Pearl anime? Was it funny seeing Croagunk Poison Jab Brock and dragging him away repeatedly throughout the anime each time Brock tries to ask out a girl?
Absolutely hilarious! One of the best running jokes for sure. They've tried to repeat it with other characters but it's just not the same!

What do you think of its shiny form?
It's very cool but not quite as an intimidating look than the normal colours. Kinda looks ready for a rave!

Sun September 10th, 2015 12:35 AM

Toxicroak

Have you ever used it competitively or in-game?
I actually used a Croagunk who later evolved into a Toxicroak! ;) Additionally she gave birth to a Croagunk son, whose IV stats are for competitive! Needless to say, he was EV trained to be one! {XD}

What do you think of the overall design of Toxicroak?
I actually love the design of it, it really combines the element of Poison and Fighting-type perfectly.

What is the best move it has?
Poison Jab is one of those moves that is great, it's specially handy nowadays with Fairy-type available!

What did you think when Brock caught his own Croagunk (pre-evolution of Toxicroak) in the Diamond and Pearl anime? Was it funny seeing Croagunk Poison Jab Brock and dragging him away repeatedly throughout the anime each time Brock tries to ask out a girl?
I actually the Croagunk adorable and powerful. :) I wish it had more on screen time! I'm sure it's able to deliver a great Gym battle! I have no special thoughts on those moments he jab Brock. Though I wonder if it's going to do well under Ash's command and ownership?

I'd have to agree with you guys. Poison Jab is its signature best move IMO. :)




Points updated! :)

Senpai, new topics please. I know I'm too eager, haha! :P

I suggest to talk about the ideas/opinions for future Fighting-type Pokémon, we can also further extend this to moves in the future!

Woah, slow down. I'm still waiting for others to reply to the current POTW. Also, in the meantime I got nothing.


If you yould like to suggest a new topic to talk about feel free to go ahead though. :)

Username: KetsuekiR
Your FIGHTING type nickname (Choose one of the following: FIGHTING type Senpai, FIGHTING type Student, FIGHTING type Master, FIGHTING type Veteran, or FIGHTING type Sensei): FIGHTING type Senpai
Your Fighting Type Club Campaign Partner (You can choose only one): Mega-Medicham
Reason for joining the Dojo (Club): I always use a Fighting type in almost all my in-game/competetive teams since they are such a versatile group of Pokemon! Plus, most of them look epic.
Answer to any one of the current topics:
- What's your opinion on the four FIGHTING type Starters (Final forms) we have? (Blaziken, Infernape, Emboar, and Chestnaught) Which one is your favorite and why?

I think it's a good thing since good fighting types aren't as common as most other types and it's always nice having a fighting type early on in the game! I'd have to say my favourite has to be Infernape since I used one in my normal ORAS play-through and it owned Steven's Mega-Metagross even though he was 7 levels below Metagross! Plus, he's the Monkey King :P


I'll answer the others too :D

- What made you love FIGHTING type Pokemon?
They almost always look pretty cool and all of them are super useful in any play-through!

- What was your first FIGHTING type Pokemon? Explain.
Hariyama. I used on in my Ruby game (which was the second game I ever played) and it was the first time I made a team based more on type than what I could find randomly. That being said, I did find Makuhita randomly and after a quick Google search, realised he was Fighting type and so I went ahead and caught him! I regret nothing, he was amazing!

- Who is your favorite FIGHTING type Pokemon user?
Brawly since he seems to be a pretty cool guy! I like Korrina too since she was a better challenge than Brawly was and she's on roller skates. Plus, she gives you a Mega Lucario so that's great!

- What's your favorite FIGHTING type move? Why?
Aura Sphere since it's special rather than physical, which is the norm with fighting type moves. It's a nice surprise for those physical walls xD

- Which generation had the best FIGHTING type Pokemon? Why?
The fourth with Pokemon like Lucario and Gallade, two of my favourite fighting types! It also introduced the move Close Combat and Aura Sphere, two of my favourite fighting type moves!

Thanks for reading, Senpai, have an awesome day!

Toxicroak

Have you ever used it competitively or in-game?
Yeah, plenty of times competitively, and once in-game.

What do you think of the overall design of Toxicroak?
It has one of the coolest designs of the 4th gen.

What is the best move it has?
Gunk Shot in my opinion. The move has 120 BP and hits so much stuff for some good damage. There's also Sucker Punch which can rape fast teams, especially if Toxicroak packs Swords Dance.

What did you think when Brock caught his own Croagunk (pre-evolution of Toxicroak) in the Diamond and Pearl anime? Was it funny seeing Croagunk Poison Jab Brock and dragging him away repeatedly throughout the anime each time Brock tries to ask out a girl?
Croagunk, imo, was one of the best things about the DP anime. I loved it when it Poison Jabbed Brock every time he tries to ask out girls.

What do you think of its shiny form?
Not a big fan of that.

With that said, I reached 2000 posts.

Dedenne1 September 17th, 2015 12:11 PM

1. Have you ever used it competitively or in-game?
In game once idk why i never used it again it was quite powerful

2. What do you think of the overall design of Toxicroak?
Nice although he could probably be a bit taller

3. What is the best move it has?
Poison Jab because it goes nicely with its high Physical attack

4. What did you think when Brock caught his own Croagunk (pre-evolution of Toxicroak) in the Diamond and Pearl anime? Was it funny seeing Croagunk Poison Jab Brock and dragging him away repeatedly throughout the anime each time Brock tries to ask out a girl?
Yes haha it was so wonderful nice replacement for misty in my opinion.

5. What do you think of its shiny form?
Kinda looks a bit retro but the color differentiation is nice :)

VillageofDragons September 17th, 2015 7:21 PM

Thank you so much for replying guys! I'll be updating the thread with all your points and joining the Dojo too.... :)


Expect a new POTW to come out soon! :)

KetsuekiR September 18th, 2015 4:03 AM

Have you ever used it competitively or in-game?
Never since that 4x weakness to Psychic is crippling seeing as most competitive teams have a Pokemon that can use Psychic attacks.

What do you think of the overall design of Toxicroak?
I think he looks exactly as you' expect him to look if you thought of a fighting type Frog. If I could change anything, I'd make the bulbous thingy on his throat smaller but that's just a general disliking towards frogs >~<

What is the best move it has?
Definitely Poison Jab with that sweet STAB damage!

4. What did you think when Brock caught his own Croagunk (pre-evolution of Toxicroak) in the Diamond and Pearl anime? Was it funny seeing Croagunk Poison Jab Brock and dragging him away repeatedly throughout the anime each time Brock tries to ask out a girl?
Absolutely! It was something that always made me smile, even after the 50th time! One of the first things I thought of when Brock left the anime was that I wouldn't see anymore of Croagunk's Poison Jab Dx

What do you think of its shiny form?
I like it to some degree. I don't love it but it looks pretty cool!
