Swalot is a Pokémon I wish I had more of a chance to use than i've gotten to. I did use it in X briefly at one point, but it does have a lot of move options it can use. And it has good HP, but its other stats are only around average. ): I may have to try to get more usage out of it sometime, and I do like those whiskers on it.
Yeah. The main drawback to Swalot is it's lack of good/great stats. While it's fine to use in a lot of offline activities and to just pal around, there are several other Poison types out there that actually fill a role. Swalot seems to be juggling what it's supposed to be with what it wants to be, if that makes any sense.

I don't think so. Garbodor has access to Gunkshot earlier and has the Attack stats to utilize the move properly, not to mention Garbodor is faster and has Toxic Spikes and Spikes in it's move list. Needless to say Garbodor has acess to just as many heavy hitting moves as Swalot and has the ability to use them properly in battle. That's not to mention that I think Garbodor has better abilities than Swalot.

That's punny.

Garbodor doesn't really appeal to me because it's trash because it's design really just doesn't do much for me. I guess it accomplishes what it's supposed to, but it still doesn't do anything for me.

Speaking of Garbodor, I think we just found our new Pokémon of the week! Garbodor isn't the best, but he sure is one of those resilient types! He can also learn Drain Punch and Rock Polish! Rock Polish? Why can Garbodor learn Rock Polish?

Sure why not? Here's the official stuff I usually do:

Spoiler:


Black Pokédex: It clenches opponents with its left arm and finishes them off with foul-smelling poison gas belched from its mouth.

That's just gross.

Dat pic tho.
Garbodor: GRAHAHAHAHA LUV MEEEE

I haven't had a good chance to use Garbodor outside of cards, but it seems very neat. Stench is very fitting. XD I should use one next time I play BW. :/
When I saw Trubbish in the anime I awwwed at it because of how cute it was, and Garbodor looks less appealing but still very cool. Appealing because it's garbage and garbage has banana peals

Well, keep in mind that garbage can be turned into mulch! And mulch is very handy for berry farming, who knew? Also, I think I have a Garbodor I was using somewhere in the Pokébank, we'll have to see where that is.
GARBISH! 8D

If I just spelt that like that then I'll cry >:(

*cries*

I'm so tempted to use Garbodor but I'm using Poison types less and less. Right now, on Omega Ruby, I have a bad ass Drapion HOWEVER I also have a Zoroark so two dark types is such a waste. xD I've already used Skunktank so I'm throwing that out and apparently I have to trade a damn Golbat in order to get a stinkin' Crobat so that's annoying. Already used Roserade and yeah.... :(

HOW ABOUT A KOFFDROP

I mean a Koffing? 8D Is it any good?

Koffing/Weezing can make really effective physical walls. They even get access to Destiny Bond, so you can take any Pokemon on the opposing team out that would otherwise destroy the Weezing.

Holy muk, guys:

I was just trying to get to Cianwood.
Kind of makes you wanna use those repels a bit less, eh? I actually did a no repel run in FireRed hoping something like that would happen, but to no avail so far.

Shiny Tentas look cool in the Gen VI games honestly. They did a great job with the colors.

Yup. That's why I never use repels, haha.

I think its time i join here haha
Name:Dedenne1
Pick two Poison-type Partner Pokémon: Skrelp, Skunky
Reason(s) for liking Poison-types: Umm theyre super effective against fairies and they only have 2 weaknesses! Plus a good amount of types are not very affective against them
Answer to current topic: POTW Garbodor
Although i am not in love with his looks haha hes pretty powerful and tanky plus his moveset is good and i see that attack stat and its pretty good compared to his high defenses. Also stench is a good ability along with aftermath and as an added bonus i do like the coloring on his shiny form!

Welcome! Did you want Stunky or Skuntank? I have to agree about Garbodor's looks, but I guess it's supposed to look pretty trashy (har har). It's got some good moves to take advantage up, but nothing jumps out about it's stats.

Its defense seems to be notable and i do think its SpAtk is average but it has some kick butt moves that kinda make up for it and thanks for the welcome and nice pun lol. Stunky btw u always spell it wrong lol.

Pokémon of the Week: Garbodor
I dont like Garbodor so much but i like Garbodor Appearance.Garbodor is able to spray poisonous gas,Garbodor has two long arms made of garbage that are held together with piping and i also like that Garbodor is completely made up of Garbage and prefers to live in unsanitary places(like Garbage dumps).I sometimes consider him a cute Pokemon ^_^
Note: I apologize because i am not posting here but from now i will start Posting here :)

Oh wow, Garbodor is the PotW? Sure, i'll take that. xD

As I mentioned in the thread about it currently in the Fifth Generation, I think part of my reason for liking it now has to do with Marriland's from his Black Wedlocke. That makes me want to use my own Garbodor in Generation V or maybe XY sometime. (inb4 I get one through Wonder Trade...)

*coughcough I'm not late*

You guys mean you don't just never use Repels? ._. I thought that was a given. Unless your Pokes are dyingwillflareon then you shouldn't need them. ._. Am I an outcast again.....?......

Yes Coffee but no one gives POTW anymore it seems. 'w'U Why don't you post one up is Wiked doesn't? I would but I have no courage meep
EDIT: I'll get over it does this help? .-.

Spoiler:

Skrelp :3

X PokeDex:
Camouflaged as rotten kelp, they spray liquid poison on prey that approaches unawares and then finish it off.

SOOOOO..... It's commonly chain fished for because of it's shiny looking ten times better than it's normal colors.... It's also pretty popular being Poison/Dragon to deal with it's Fairy Weakness.

I personally love it and would have used it if I knew where to get it in my first run of Y, so I haven't ACTUALLY trued it out in battle yet, but I did manage to catch a shiny one the other day.
(And really cool lookin' 'cool Poki. 'w')

Trying to prove a point >.>

It had been 1 day since the last POTW-related post. I usually give it another day or so before I jump into the next one. It's about flow of the discussion. If it goes stale, we get another one. We don't need to go 100mph all the time here.

Anyway...

Fun fact: Skrelp and Dragalge are the only Poison-types introduced in Gen VI. I don't mind them really, but I think Dragalge should've stayed Water/Poison instead of changing to Dragon. Even still, Skrelp is a neat little Pokémon and it's very unique.
