Fix that POKEMON!

  • We all love Pokemon, we all love a certain Pokemon or two that is in the Never used or the Rarely used tiers. So, if you were to take some of your favorite Pokemon from the tiers down below and sort of recreate them to be more competitive, what would that Pokemon look like? A few quick rules before you just Max out your favorite low tier Pokemon.

    1. Don't just give it God Tier stats by taking sunkern and giving like +50 to all of its stats.
    2. Don't give it moody
    3. Must use abilities and moves that already exist, no inventing anything new.
    4. Use a format like I am down below or something similar to it showing what it has now, and what you would change about that.


    I have three entries for mine. These three are some of my favorites.

    Pokemon: Heliolisk
    Type: Electric / Ground

    Ability: Change Sand Veil to Sand Rush instead.
    HP: 62 - Change this to an even 100.
    Attack: 55 - Lower by twenty making this 35
    Defense: 52 Add the 20 to this making it 72
    Sp. Atk: 109
    Sp. Def: 94
    Speed: 109
    Total Stat increase by 38

    Outcome: Heliolisk by living in the desert and being a sand lizard should for no reason not be a sand team pokemon. It just screams to be in a sand team. So giving it more bulk and turning it into a special attacker fit to help take down bulky water pokemon would make it much better. Its good speed of 109 would be increased in sand storm, its boosted health and defense would make it far more viable for taking hits and surviving. Finally, I don't think an electric Lizard that lives in the desert that has access to Sand ANYTHING should EVER be a freaking normal type under any circumstances. It's a ground type, Gamefreak Screwed up when making it, it needs to change.



    Sandslash

    HP: 75 - Increase to 100
    Attack: 100 - Add the 20 dropped from Sp Atk to this because SS will NEVER use a Sp ATK ever.
    Defense: 110
    Sp. Atk: 45 Drop this by 20
    Sp. Def: 55
    Speed: 65 - Make this 90
    Total Stat increase is 50.

    Movepool - I would expand its movepool by giving it access to moves like Superpower, Sky uppercut, and wake up slap, as well as Ancient power, Head Smash, and Rock Wrecker and some kind of priority move. Maybe extreme speed. SS suffers from a shallow movepool and very miniscule stat line. Fixing this to take more off his non existant special attack and boosting his health and speed would make him a far better pokemon.

    Outcome - We now have a s.s Whose speed is what it should had been from the start, and by giving it more health as what any desert dwelling species should have to start with and since s.s was never meant to use Special attacks, that could better be served in its physical attacks instead.


    Mismagius
    Ability: Infiltrator and Cursed body added to levitate as options. Maybe Infiltrator as its H.A.

    HP: 60 Increase this to 110.
    Attack: 60 Drop by 40
    Defense: 60 Add the 40 here. 100.
    Sp. Atk: 105 Add 10
    Sp. Def: 105
    Speed: 105
    Total Increase = 50 points.

    Movepool - I would expand its movepool slightly by adding more fire and lightning based attacks and swapping out some of the physical attacks it can learn for special moves or status based moves.

    Outcome - Mismagius is no longer a tragic disaster of a ghost pokemon.

  • hm...thought people might think this was fun. Guess I will try again.

    Come on! I am sure someone here has a favorite RU or NU pokemon that they know in their heart of hearts should never be there! Let's see what you would do to fix that for that pokemon!

    Tyrantrum!
    Ability: Hidden ability would be Sand Veil, Maybe Rough Skin or Huge Power
    HP: 82 - Change this to 120
    Attack: 121 - Add 20 taken from Sp Def. = 141
    Defense: 119
    Sp. Atk: 69 - Lower this by 30
    Sp. Def: 59 - Lower by 20
    Speed: 71 - Add the 30 from above here. =101
    Total increase 38

    Reason: Tyrantrum just seems he is too slow. A Real T Rex is not nimble for sure, but that thing could run pretty fast if I remember right. Tyrantrum's HP also does not reflect its sheer size. There is no freaking way a Clefable, a pokemon Signifigantly smaller than it should have more HP than a Tyrantrum. This thing should be all bulk with some decent speed and lots of RAWR Tyrantrum is now the MOTHER &&&&$$ING TYRANASAURAS REX KING OF BEASTS he was meant to be from the very beginning.
    Move pool -
     

    Nah

    idk, I think that Rock Head is a fine ability for Tyrantrum. Recoiless STAB Head Smashes? Fuck yes

    But anyway:

    Incineroar
    Ability: It's HA, Intimidate, is made available
    HP: 95
    Attack: 115-->125
    Defense: 90
    Sp.Attack: 80
    Sp.Def: 90
    Speed: 60 -->90
    Total BST increase: 40

    Movepool changes:
    -Add Fire Punch and Blaze Kick
    -rename Darkest Lariat Dankest Lariat

    It has a fairly good movepool, and has bulk stats comparable to Landorus-Therian (95/90/90 vs 89/90/80), although the somewhat poorer defensive typing is an issue, but the main thing holding it back imo is its garbage Speed stat and being stuck with a crappy ability in Blaze.
     

    Phyrrhic

    It's not very effective...

    Ability: Same
    HP: 190-->255

    Sp.Def: 58-->150
    Speed: 33-->35
    BST Increase: 190

    Perfect waller/staller. Has access to Z-Psychic/Z-Fighting for perfect surprises.

    Pyroar
    pyroar.gif

    HP: 86
    Attack: 68 -> 125
    Defense: 72
    Special Attack: 109 -> 68
    Special Defense: 66
    Speed: 106 -> 123
    BST: 507 -> 540

    Movepool:
    +Double-Edge, +Earthquake

    Reasoning: Pyroar is a really cool looking Pokemon. I mean, it's a lion! What's not to love about that? Well, Game Freak decided to give it high Special Attack and abysmal Attack. Such a letdown, if you ask me. Because in real life, lions are physically strong. Also, Pyroar is outclassed by other special Fire types, like Charizard and Magmortar. I decided to rectify both problems by swapping its Attack and Special Attack stats, and then increasing its Attack. Additionally, I gave it Double-Edge for a stronger Normal STAB, Earthquake for Rock types, and some extra Speed. With these changes, Pyroar becomes a worthy alternative over Pokemon like Victini and Darmanitan.
