That would be OP though as you can heal off the Life Orb recoil with your moves. So scary.

It's still fragile AF and only has a 95 BST. It's not that scary really.

Okay, I guess we're going with my set then. Time for the last segment, movepool (by level up). Following the same pattern as the normal Butterfree, submit a new movepool for Alolan Butterfree to have access too. Have fun!

Just stealing Ruff's format ;)


1 Tackle
Evo. Bite
11 Tackle

25 Safeguard
29 Whirlwind

Since it's a physical Pokemon, this makes a bit more sense to me than RuFF's more specially-oriented learnset.

I know you requested level up movepool, but I figured adding a TM movepool won't hurt?

I don't think it would be OP. There are plenty of mons that run Life Orb whose primary attack is something like Giga Drain or Drain Punch. It's incredibly difficult to deal with in some cases, but the natural vulnerabilities of a mon like this, specifically mediocre defensive typing and extremely underwhelming stats overall would definitely aide counterplay a great deal. Imo if you don't give something like this a great ability, it wouldn't even be usable if released into PU gameplay.

The poll is now up for the movepool!

The poll links to the relevant post if you click the option. They are in the order they were posted though.

Oh, I forgot it can do that. LOL {XD}{XD}{XD}

I like Chase's but it's lacking Sleep Powder. :( Psychic Fangs is neato though. Voted for gimmepie's in the end because of Sleep Powder, SD is put off for later (balance!), and Ominous Wind for flavor.

Option two it is!
Look forward to seeing the article in the future.
