Looks for Pokemon with low base stat totals. Picks something that could use it effectively too.
- Ariados. Evolves at 22. Improves upon its best stat (base 90 Attack). Knows moves to become even more threatening, such as Swords Dance and Fell Stinger. Counterbalances it with its awful Speed stat (base 40).
- Mightyena. Gives this dog some bite to match its bark. Threatens opponents with elemental fangs. Tosses out mean Sucker Punches eventually too.
Passed over some others because of not fixing their problems OR too early of an evolution. See: Beedrill, Delibird, Luvdisc, Delcatty, Ledian, Kricketune.
