What stat or type changes would you make to some Pokemon to make them more usable?
Personally, I'd change the Unova starters like this:
![[PokeCommunity.com] How would you change some Pokemon?](https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/normal/emboar.png "[PokeCommunity.com] How would you change some Pokemon?")
Emboar

Add to level up movepool:
Bulk Up
Brick Break
Earthquake
Smack Down
Fire Punch
When I saw Emboar, I expected a very VERY hard-hitting fire type with respectable defense and good HP. Instead, we got a Pikachu-frail low-speed Fighting-Fire type that gets outclassed by Darmanitan and many other Pokemon.
Had they made him just a tad big bulkier, faster, and even more of a hard hitter, it could've been the fighting-fire type that breaks the chain of fire-fighting types being strong, fast, but frail.

Samurott --> Change to Water/Fighting
![[PokeCommunity.com] How would you change some Pokemon?](https://imageshack.us/a/img267/5307/samurott.png "[PokeCommunity.com] How would you change some Pokemon?")
Add to movepool:
Ice Fang
Cross Chop
Close Combat
Shell Smash
Seriously what the heck, Gamefreak? Why do you guys make a Pokemon themed on samurai NOT be part fighting type? and why is it more oriented to be a Special Attacker when its weapons are talked about so much?
This is how I believe Samurott should've been.
New Hidden Ability:
Swift Swim
Samurott was never a defensive Pokemon, so why give it an ability that would be better off with a Pokemon with a higher defense?
![[PokeCommunity.com] How would you change some Pokemon?](https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/normal/serperior.png "[PokeCommunity.com] How would you change some Pokemon?")
Serperior (Change to Grass/Dragon, or keep the same)
I think Serperior's base stats are fine. Maybe it could use 5 or 10 points more for its offensive stats, but overall I'm happy with its speed and defenses. It's a good Pokemon, it just needs a better movepool when it levels up.
Add to level-up move-set:
Calm Mind
Solar Beam
Earthquake
Energy Ball
Seed Bomb
Anyways, these are the changes I'd make to these Pokemon if I could. What do you guys think? Too overpowered? Too nerfed? What kind of changes would you make to a Pokemon?
