Metapod is even more boring. At least it was funny when Ash and Samurai had that battle where both their Metapod kept using Harden. |
8.
Metapod is, in my opinion, one of the ugliest, if not the ugliest Pokemon of Gen 1. |
7
Metapod are difficult to train unless if you evolved one from a Caterpie yourself. |
6
Viridian Forest... |

Just too weak. Pika Pika :chu: |
3.
Not to mention that they don't even learn Tackle. Only their pre-evolutions do. |
2
Which does not make sense, I mean why would a Pokemon not learn at least one attacking move? Pika Pika :chu: |
1.
Wynaut and Wobbuffet don't have any attacking moves either, unless you count Counter and Mirror Coat. |
0
And Metapod goes into the discarded list. Next up is Butterfree http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/butterfree.gif. At least its much better than its pre-evos. Pika Pika :chu: |
11.
I'm voting Butterfree up, because it's cute and it's pretty useful early on in the games. |
12
Its about okay in battles, but I'll also vote it up, because it is cute. Pika Pika :chu: |
13.
I don't believe I ever took a Butterfree to the Elite Four. If I use it, I usually replace it with something like the Abra line later on. |
14
I've never used Butterfree on my team. Pika Pika :chu: |
15.
I don't blame you. There are plenty of Pokemon that are much more useful. |
16
Right Pika Pika :chu: |
17.
Unfortunately, most early Bug type Pokemon have low base stats, even when they're fully evolved. |
18
That is very true. Pika Pika :chu: |
19.
With the Grubbin line, Game Freak pulled something even worse. They made its middle evolution, Charjabug, evolve at the Vast Poni Canyon, which is on the last island in the game. |
20
And Butterfree is safe. Next up is Weedle http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/weedle.gif. Another candidate for the discard list? Pika Pika :chu: |
9.
Weedle is weak, but more annoying than Caterpie, since it can poison your Pokemon with its Poison Sting. |
8
Yes, but still pretty much as useless in battles as Caterpie. Pika Pika :chu: |
7.
Right. Both are really replaceable. |
6
If it was just based on cuteness, I'd pick Caterpie over Weedle. Pika Pika :chu: |
5.
Yeah, I think I'd do that too. But in terma of battle capacity, Weedle is better than Caterpie. |
4
Poison Sting makes all the difference. Pika Pika :chu: |
3.
Additionally, Beedrill can learn Cut, and I believe Rock Smash too. So it could serve decently as an HM slave. |
2
And Defog as well, although I believe its only on DPPt. Pika Pika :chu: |
1.
Defog has become better in Pokemon X and Y, in which it removes all entry hazards on the field. |
0
And Weedle goes into the discard list. Up next is Kakuna http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/kakuna.gif, which is no better. Pika Pika :chu: |
9.
It does look better than Metapod, and its typing is a bit better defensively. But that's pretty much it. |
8
Its just as weak though. Pika Pika :chu: |
7.
Yeah, that's true. |
6
Same goes for Silcoon & Cascoon. Pika Pika :chu: |
5.
Yeah, and Kricketot and Spewpa too. |
4
And Grubbin, as well(to an extent) |
3
I hated how location-based evolution in Sun & Moon... who at Game Freak thought it was a good idea to make Magneton, Nosepass and Charjabug's electric field for evolution so near the endgame? And don't get me started on Crabrawler only evolving right before the Elite Four... |
2
A majority of Bug Types are too weak, thus one of my least fav types. Pika Pika :chu: |
1.
They better make Charjabug and Crabrawler evolve at an earlier location in the next series of games! |
0
Into the discard list goes Kakuna. Next up is Beedrill http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/beedrill.gif. Pika Pika :chu: |
11.
Beedrill isn't that bad, actually. As for the Grubbin line, they disappointed me so much. I was hoping (and expected) that Vikavolt would become a physical attacker with decent Speed. Instead, they made it a special attacker with low Speed. Charjabug evolving only at the Vast Poni Canyon didn't help. |
12
Vikavolt had the potential to be a great Pokemon battle-wise, but it turned out average. Pika Pika :chu: |
13.
I did use the line early on in Pokemon Moon, but ditched it soon after evolving it into Charjabug. |
14
Not playing SM -_-. Pika Pika :chu: |
15.
I've only really bought and played Pokemon Moon. Pokemon Sun does have a very interesting version exclusive Pokemon named Turtonator, but I was going with Litten as my starter, so I went with Moon. |
16
Turtonator reminds me of Bowser. Both have similar designs. Pika Pika :chu: |
17.
That's a good thing, since I like Bowser. |
18
Metapod & Kakuna can be annoying opponents, especially when they spam Harden. Pika Pika :chu: |
19.
If you have a special attacker, they shouldn't be that hard to take down. |
20
And Beedrill is safe. Pidgey http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/pidgey.gif is next, gotta save this line :). |
11.
This is the cutest Pidgey sprite ever: http://www.pokemontrash.com/pokedex/images/cristal/16.gif |
12
Its the first Pokemon I ever caught. Pika Pika :chu: |
13.
I prefer the lines of Spearow and Doduo, as they're stronger. |
14
I've always used Pidgeot though. Pika Pika :chu: |
15.
IMy favourite regional birds are the lines of Taillow, Starly, Fletchling, and Pikipek. |
16
I like most of the regional bird lines. Pika Pika :chu: |
16
So I was watching Marriland's Nuzlockes and Wedlockes... and I still remember when Caraway died early in his hardcore mode X Wedlocke. Her boy Sage was such a heartbroken frog with going through so many partners. |
18.
My least favourite regional bird line is the Pidove line. Pidove is cute, but Tranquill is annoying and I don't really like female Unfezant's design. |
19
If I had to pick a least fav, I'd probably go with Spearow. Pika Pika :chu: |
20.
I do like the Spearow line. It's pretty strong for an early game Pokemon. But anyways, Pidgey is safe now! |
11
Pidgeotto http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/pidgeotto.gif is next. Pika Pika :chu: |
12
Now it's Pidgeotto time! |
13.
Pidgeotto is okay I guess... |
Quote:
You got ninja'd :P. Pika Pika :chu: |
14
Too many ninjas. |
Quote:
And you got ninja'd too. Its a Pidgeotto ninja war. Pika Pika :chu: |
17.
Let's talk about ninja Pokemon, shall we? My favourite ninja Pokemon is Greninja, though I also like Gliscor, Crobat, and Ninjask. |
18
Gliscor is a good Pokemon to have on the roster. Pika Pika :chu: |
19.
I've used a Gliscor once, in Pokemon Polished Crystal. |
20
Pidgeotto is safe. Pidgeot http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/pidgeot.gif is next. Pika Pika :chu: |
11.
Pidgeot has a good Mega Evolution. |
12
Agreed. Pika Pika :chu: |
13.
I do wish it had some more coverage moves, though. |
14
It does have a limited moveset. Pika Pika :chu: |
15.
There are more Pokemon that I wish had more coverage moves. Raichu and Lurantis come to mind. |
16
A lot of Pokemon could do with a better moveset. Pika Pika :chu: |
17.
There are also Pokemon with 4 or more good moves. In this case, people speak of 4MSS, meaning that they wish their Pokemon could have more than 4 moves. |
18
Maybe they should. Pika Pika :chu: |
19.
Maybe Game Freak should expand the moveslot amount from 4 to 6. |
18
I was underleveled for Falkner, somehow... And I think 4 moves is fine, except maybe certain Pokémon should have more |
19
If they are to increase max moves learnt, it should be for all Pokemon. Pika Pika :chu: |
20.
What LegendChu said. Also, Pidgeot is safe now. EDIT: It's Pidgeot, not Pidgeotto, which is safe now. |
11
Now it's time for Bird Jesus... aka Pidgeot |
10.
Wait a minute... Isn't Pidgeot actually saved now? Shouldn't Rattata be next? |
8
Right, Rattata http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/rattata.gif should've been next & I'm supposing you want to count it down, so counting down by 2. Pika Pika :chu: |
8.
I'm also counting Hikamaru's last post. |
7
Rattata is your typical weak early Pokemon. Pika Pika :chu: |
6.
There are Team Rocket members who tend to throw early Raticates at you. |
5
Super Fang is what you should be wary of. Pika Pika :chu: |
4.
I'm honestly more worried about Hyper Fang flinching me, because that happens more often to me than them using Super Fang. |
3
Personally, I've not had much problems with Rattata or Raticate, always keep my Pokemon well-trained. Pika Pika :chu: |
2.
If anything is more troublesome, it's Watchog. It gets Hypnosis, Confuse Ray, and Super Fang at an early level. |
1
That's right. Pika Pika :chu: |
0.
Rattata is down and out. |
9
Raticate http://www.pkparaiso.com/imagenes/xy/sprites/animados/raticate.gif is up next. I don't like it too much, so gonna count it down. Pika Pika :chu: |
8.
Just like Butterfree and friends, Raticate can be useful early in the game, but is pretty replaceable. |
7
You can use it as an HM Slave, but there are better Pokemon for that too. Pika Pika :chu: |
6.
Yeah, like Psyduck, Linoone, Wailmer, Tropius, and Bibarel. And if you don't mind using a starter as an HM slave, count the lines of Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Turtwig, and Piplup too. |
5
I never use starters as HM Slaves, they are always part of my main roster. Pika Pika :chu: |
4.
I never really use my starter as an HM slave either. If I give them HM's, I give them good ones, like Surf and Fly. |
