Hiya, welcome to the club! I love your partner choices - Venusaur and Muk are some of my favourite poison types. How do you feel about Muk's Gen III counterpart Swalot though? It has this little mustache and everything, it's adorable. Both of them are pretty cool though.
Ayy, couldn't of said it better myself. I feel like people always go for Nidoking over Nidoqueen because it's the tougher looking out of the two. Sure it does live up to its title as a 'king pokemon' but rarely do I see people picking Nidoqueen when offered the option of either. As for stats, they're never really something I've cared for due to my interest in a pokemon's design / concept being the reason I use it but I can imagine Nidoqueen working great competitively too.
Hey Milk, welcome aboard! I like both Beedrill and Arbok though my opinion would probably change if I were to see either of them in real life.
You're right there! Poison types are probably one of the scariest, if not the scariest type out of all eighteen existing ones but that's what makes them really cool. Let's just say that I'm happy they don't exist in real life though! As awesome as they are, I'd rather not have six ft long snakes or man sized bees knocking down my front door.
That's also a really interesting point. In the pokemon world, how do trainers cope with the dangers of training or encountering a poison pokemon? Their pokemon can be treated with Antidotes obviously but would they have forms of anti-venom/medicine in the case that the trainer gets infected? Just something to think about.
But in regards to that, new topic! Based on the above, what poison type do you think would be the most deadly to trainers? Why?
I'm thinking something that not only contains a high amount of toxins but also the ability to spread it fast and effectively. I imagine the speedier ones would be better at catching their prey but who do you guys think would be the most dangerous poison type to humans or pokemon?
