Nosepass: Useless or Misunderstood?

[Phantom_Bugsy]

Sorry, but one of my friends OWNS in Netbattle with his Nosepass. Better than frikking Salamence or Dragonite.

Seriously, it's an awesome Pokemon. >___> Even if I may not like the GL who uses it that much :D

 

[MidnightScott]

I think it's just misunderstood - I would never use one in the game though, but it's not useless.

hi Phantom Bugsy - I see you were banned from SPPF too...

~Scott

 

[Phantom_Bugsy]

Me either. It's not one of MY preferred Pokemon, but...it's still a good one to use :3

You too? What'd YOU get done in for? Speaking yer mind?

 

[SBaby]

Nosepass isn't useless or misunderstood. It's just weird. Simple as that.

 

[Kalylia]

I think it's useless... or, as useless as any one Pokemon could be. XP

 

[Random Plushie]

Nosepass seems somewhere in between useless and misunderstood to me. Not entirely useless and yet not really misunderstood either.. X.x

 

[Kylie-chan]

Too bad I can't get past the sight of him or else he really would be good in battle XD

There are only two other pokemon I won't train out of ugliness: Loudred (though Exploud pwns ;; ) and Swalot o_o;

I won't train Exploud for that. o.o It took me forever to work out Whismur was in that family. o.o;
Well, the Rock thing is true... ^^

heh, I forgot about this thread.

I don't mind ugly pokemon, but I don't want crappy ones. This is from someone who is convincd that larviatr is the cutest thing ever, though, so...

And yes, he does seem oddly drunk...

 

[Ninja Tree]

Well can't he also do electric moves. Its good if someone switches at a water pokemon to try to beat Nosepass.

 

[Chairman Kaga]

Though, I think the only electric attack Nosepass can learn is Zap Cannon, which has the lowest accuracy and PP of any electric attack, so it's useless. Please, correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Okay, I'll admit my Porygon2 on Leafgreen has Zap Cannon, but that's because it can learn Lock-On o_o;

 

[Ninja Tree]

But Zap Cannon is really good.

 

[Act]

I think zap cannon is pretty useless... I don't like dynamicpunch much either.

Frankly, zap cannon =/= goodness points for nosepass, in my opinion.

 

[Fury of Ninetales]

I'm a huge fan of UUber pokes so i trained a nosepass in my sapphire version.I didn't use it when battling the elite 4 but it can learn a decent moveset. there's one catch: it can't be an efficient all-out sweeper. i taught my nosepass rock slide, thunder wave, earthquake, and sandstorm. first, i would thunder wave, then sandstorm, then use STABbed rock slide to finish it off. it would probably be a better contest poke....
I just think that nosepass is misunderstood.

 

[Alter Ego]

I think Nosepass had some potential, its Magnet Pull trait makes it excellent for trapping and KOing pesky Steel types, and the stats aren't that bad so I say it's misunderstood. But if I ever get the urge to train a pure Rock type then I go with Sudowoodo, because it looks nicer. ^_^ Yeah, I can be vain like that.

 

[Smarties-chan]

I agree with alter ego, nosepass does have some potential it's stats are decent and both attacks have the same base value so there are alot of possible movesets for nosepass I prefer sudowoodo more though.

 

[pokejungle]

Not to mention Bonsly rox XD

But nosepass looks so cool to me ;-; People shouldn't shun it!

 

[Ridley-X4]

I heard it's a good Skarmory counter in Netbattle. And how can you call it a she if it can be male too? It's an IT, that's what.

 

[Kurono]

Well I think its just misunderstood, there is no such thing as a useless pokemon unless you don't use it. It may be slow but it has a pretty good defense. Oh yeah, Ridley that must of been a typo he made and meant to say "he", but either way you're right because it doesn't have a set gender.

 

[Act]

Wow, this is still going.

Anyway, I'm not someone who catches pokemon for 'sweeps' and that kind of thing-- I catch the ones I like best-- and I don't think he'd too attractive. but as far as teambuilding goes, how much does a grass weakness really matter? The only decent grass move is Giga Drain, which has 5 PP, and most grass-types are dual-types anyway (part poison) so a ground type might actually be better.
