If Metagross looks scary then more power to it, it got the result the designers intended. It moves like a spider, it has fists that can punch you, a pitiliess stare, all steel. Don't get me wrong, scary can be cool like Gyarados or Houndoom. But the impression I'm getting is that Bastiodon isn't suppose to be unsettling to look at. If the Bastiodon line is meant to he cute or fanciful as mentioned earlier than I don't think the design makes as much sense as Metagross does.

At the end of the day though Metagross won a long time ago, it's neither here nor there now. It's up to Bastiodon to be good in its own right, not through comparison to another Pokemon.

According to the Pokedex unlike other Pokemon that like to hunt other Pokemon, Bastiodon is a docile, caring Pokemon that feeds on grass and berries.

As I said before, I find Bastiodon kind of cute.

Its steel hard, shield-like face is capable of repelling any attack.

Looks aside the key word I get from Bastiodon is outclassed. Smogon doesn't even have a current analysis for this Pokemon.

While multiple Bastiodon line up, their faces form a wall that nothing can break through and this is how they protect their young.

Its Rock/Steel typing does make it vulnerable to Fighting and Ground type attacks, though.

Bastiodon is safe.

Burmy

I really don't like Burmy, so I'll vote it down.

I like that they come in different colors and forms.

strangerhypno January 23rd, 2018 5:08 PM

11, the different forms are cool. It also has cool bug steel typing , a really good typing in its trash form.

Female evolve into Wormadam and male evolve into Mothim.

Frail bug Pokemon that has fewer move options than Magikarp. Magikarp can at least be tutored bounce and had dragon rage and hydro pump as event moves. Unlike Magikarp it doesn't get much better once it evolves. The gimmick of different forms is irrelevant, none of them are good, you are going to die either way.

Burmy is just a pathetic Pokemon, just like Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, Magikarp, and Feebas.

I almost forgot Burmy did get 1 tutor move in Platinum. Snore! It can't learn rest by the way, or any other tms or hms. GF never stops trolling.

It learns Bug Bite and Protect by level, which makes it annoying in the PMD games.

VisionofMilotic January 24th, 2018 4:11 AM

7 Let's not forget about the mighty tackle!

FeraligatrMaster January 24th, 2018 4:12 AM

Tackle is just a weak move, not that annoying.

VisionofMilotic January 24th, 2018 4:23 AM

5 I get it now, it's more like facing those annoying Pelipper as they protect and roost and supersonic every other turn.

FeraligatrMaster January 24th, 2018 5:05 AM

4.

Except that Burmy doesn't get any recovery moves.

VisionofMilotic January 24th, 2018 5:40 AM

3 Yup, just saying I see how Burmy could take up your time. Pelipper while not a really good Pokemon is definitely a million times better than Burmy. Its bulkier, its got drizzle and brings stab 100% accurate hurricane to use in rain. As mentioned Burmy is a Pokemon probably worse than magikarp or feebas.

FeraligatrMaster January 24th, 2018 5:45 AM

At least Magikarp and Feebas have good evolutions. And yes, Pelipper is better than the Burmy line.

Totally. Usually when a pokemon starts off with prospects like burmy, the moral of the story is that it turns into something good like with abra, feebas, magikarp, even weedle now that it can be mega beedrill. Burmy and its evolutions don't bring anything to the table that another pokemon would not do way better.

Burmy has been discarded. Wormadam is next.

None of the Wormadan forms give you much to work with. But bug/ grass is probably the most difficult to pull off. It's supposed to be defensive but mostly learns all out attacking moves that you could never successfully run on this Pokemon. Even if it had more tools it's speed is in the gutter and it has got more weaknesses than Shedinja, including multiple 4× weaknesses. It probably will not even get the opportunity to make one move, dead on the first turn. It's abilities essentially do nothing to shore it up. There's almost no silver lining here.
