The Bulbasaur Race [Part 2]

Gengaaaar ♥ Not my favorite ghost type but awesome nonetheless.

Gengar certainly has the look of an evil mastermind. It's only a shadow, yet it weighs 89.3 lbs (40.5 kg), which shows again those measurements are based on nothing.

Gengar is an awesome Pokemon, probably my favourite from Gen I.

I use Gengar on so many of my competitive teams. It is just so powerful

 

[Lycanthropy]

16

I used a Gengar in FireRed. It sadly needed some TM assistance of Psychic and Thunderbolt, because ghost and poison were still physical, but it was still a great sweeper.

I don't like to use it competitively, it's too vulnerable against Knock Off.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

17

Yeah Knock Off sucks :( I still use Gengar though! Too strong not to

Gengar is one of those Pokemon that benefitted from the physical/special split, with Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb becoming special moves.

 

[Lycanthropy]

19

I don't think there are many Pokémon that didn't benefit of it, because it has often given access to more useful non-STAB moves. Take Houndoom as example, a full special sweeper. Prior to the split it had only access to Flamethrower and Crunch (and eventually Solarbeam). Crunch might have become physical, but is easily replaced by Dark Pulse. Additionally, Sludgebomb became special too.

The split was the best thing to ever happen to Pokemon. That and breeding ofc!

And so Gengar is safe. Now it is time for Onix.

10

Brock, anyone?

 

[Sirfetch’d]

11

Onix is one of the most iconic Pokemon from the first gen imo! I love it

 

[Lycanthropy]

12

Agree to that.
Brock was terrible in Yellow, Pikachu couldn't do a thing. Without a Mankey you couldn't get anywhere.

13

Onix is a decent Pokemon, great for using in GSC against Falkner.

I'll save this Pokémon in honor of Brock! I'm not a fan of Rock-type Pokémon but I like Brock, so yeah, let's save Onix!

Speaking of Rock type Pokemon, I feel like naming my favourites from each generation.

Gen 1: Rhydon and Omastar
Gen 2: Tyranitar
Gen 3: Cradily
Gen 4: Rhyperior
Gen 5: Terrakion
Gen 6: Tyrantrum

I agree, I mostly like Onix for how iconic it is. I also love imagining how huge it is and how cool it would be to have one as a little pal just walking around with you.

 

[classiccartoonsftw]

17.

Or how about a big, sturdy pal to ride on?

 

[Sirfetch’d]

18

Anyone remember the Crystal Onix?

 

[Lycanthropy]

19

The crystal Onix was awesome. It wasn't just a shiny Pokémon (which I don't think even existed at the time), it even showed resistance to water.

Speaking of Rock type Pokemon, I feel like naming my favourites from each generation.

Gen 1: Rhydon and Omastar
Gen 2: Tyranitar
Gen 3: Cradily
Gen 4: Rhyperior
Gen 5: Terrakion
Gen 6: Tyrantrum

I agree to a big part of that list. I'm a real fan of ancient looking Pokémon, so I love most fossil Pokémon and Larvitar's evolution line.

I'm not a huge fan of Onix but at this rate it's likely gonna get saved.
