The Pokemon Race Version 4.3

[CF1994]

13.

It's signature move is Steam Eruption, which is essentially Scald with the force of Hydro Pump.

14.

On Smogon, there's a metagame named STABmons, in which all Pokemon get all moves matching their type (except banned moves, but those can be used on Pokemon that can learn it naturally). Therefore, all Water types get Steam Eruption there.

 

[CF1994]

15.

Water Absorb gives Volcanion recovery when hit by a Water-type move like Waterfall or Scald.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

16.

If it didn't have Water Absorb, it would've been hit neutrally by Water type attacks.

 

[CF1994]

17.

It has a high Sp. Atk stat, enabling it to hit really hard with Choice Specs.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

18.

Choice items aren't really my thing.

 

[CF1994]

19.

It's offenses and movepool can allow for either a physical or special attacker.

We're nearly done judging all the Kalos Pokémon.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

20.

Volcanion is safe now. With that, we can move on to the Gen 7 Pokemon, starting with Rowlet.

11.

It is a comedy relief in the anime. It takes comfort in Ash's bag.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

12.

Rowlet was my second choice for the Gen 7 starter.

 

[CF1994]

13.

It can turn it's head backwards. Some use screenshots of this movement to crack jokes about it confronting titanic Pokémon.

 

[XNaut]

14

It's the cutest owl looking Pokemon I have ever seen.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

15.

I would've picked this thing if Litten's final evolution disappointed me.

 

[CF1994]

16.

It's secondary type changes from Flying to Ghost when it reaches it's final stage.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

17.

It's the first dual type basic starter since Gen 1.

 

[CF1994]

18.

It was an instant fan favorite when the Alolan Starters were first revealed.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

19.

I leaned towards Litten. I loved how it's both fierce and cute at once.

 

[CF1994]

20.

Rowlet is safe now. On to Dartrix now.

10.

 

[XNaut]

11

It can launch attacks on unseen enemies behind it.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

12.

It's an alright Pokemon.
