I always thought he looked like a purple balloon, a soft huggable purple balloon.

 

[Wicked3DS]

I thought it looked kind of like a cross between a scoop of blackberry icecream and a catfish.

Quote of the year right here.

And it's only February.

I just discovered that Swalot can use the elemental punches wthout having a distinguishable punching hand. I mean, there are hands. but they are stubby.

 

[CoffeeDrink]

Yeah, Swalot is one of those Poison types that leaves me scratching my head. Although there is this:

So I guess it's not too far fetched.

 

[Pendraflare]

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.

 

[Sandslash Fan]

I use Swalot on my themed battle team. Named her Puddin' (team in the spoiler).

Spoiler:

BREAKFAST BATTLE TEAM
Bakin - Emboar
Puddin' - Swalot
2% - Miltank
Eggs - Exeggcute
Napkins - Mienfoo
Oven (I think) - Torkoal

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.

 

[Sandslash Fan]

Swalot at least gets access to some powerful moves; Either by TM/HM or egg moves. Garbodor gets shafted... which may just be a clever design feature since she IS garbage :)

 

[CoffeeDrink]

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.

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

I just realized I've been liking all of Coffee's posts. .-. *coughcough*

I really like Garbodor and Swalot, but I never usethem, it's not even like I've seen their stats. ;w;U I just.... Don't use them....

It makes me feel bad....

 

[Wicked3DS]

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.

 

[CoffeeDrink]

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.

 

[DyingWillFlareon]

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

 

[CoffeeDrink]

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.

 

[Nakala Pri]

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?

 

[Poki]

Ew, Garbodor.

Anyway, I'm currently playing Gold and I'm training a Bellsprout. Poison types are so useful.

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 shit, guys:

I was just trying to get to Cianwood.

That's pretty awesome! Makes me want to shoot for a Glittery Tentacool as well!
