Cacturne does have a STAB 115 base attack power after all. i think Cacturne really has the potential to be a really strong pokémon, if given a chance. even if its defense is a little lacking.

man this is making me wanna play Sapphire again.. XD;
 
it really is too bad Cacturne has a sandstorm hazard even though it lives in a desert. makes me feel sorry for it. XD;
still, i don't think they should've changed its typing to match the surroundings.. mainly because i think they would've ditched the DARK-typing then. cause a cactus is still a plant.

and well, how much time did you really spend in the Hoenn desert anyway? i know i wasn't in there for long. bike in there, beat the trainers, get the items and the fossil, catch a Trapinch and a Cacnea, and GET OUTTA THERE AGAIN XD;

welcome to the club both of you.

I think we need a new topic.

Before generation IV, all Dark-type moves were special. However, the presence of powerful Dark-type moves like Crunch, Pursuit, and Thief certainly does not make Dark all that special. So: Do you think it was right to classify them as Special moves? Also, discuss anything related to Dark-type, preGenIV.

For some dark types like Houndoom it was a blessing because it had both types be special, which is the better stat.But for the likes of say Absol, it's a curse. Sure it got STAB from the dark moves, but it wasn't the better attack stat to go off of. To me it's a double edged sword.
 
No one minds if I answer these questions?
Spoiler:


And for the new topic.
For certain moves such as Crunch ,Bite ,Faint Attack it didn't seem fair cause they appear as physical moves that would actually require contact. In Generation I Bite was a normal physical move and making it a special move sort of demoted that. And like what ShinyHoundoom said, certain Pokemon like Houndoom it was an advantage cause of it's Dark/Fire typing both types of moves were special.

Hi there Awsquared! I see you are a fellow Umbreon fan! :)

Anyway, I agree with both of you guys, but I would like to add something else. There are very few Pokemon outside Houndoom who is Dark type and could utilize the special set. In fact, I believe only Umbreon and Houndoom prior to Generation IV could actually benefit from the special set.
 
I thought I might as well answer these questions

• What is your favorite Dark-Type?
Houndoom has always been my favorite.

• When did you start liking your Favorite Dark Pokemon?
Since Gen II.

• Favorite Dark-Type Move?
Dark Pulse and Crunch

• Which is the most Underrated?
In my mind Houndoom and Honchcrow.

I thought I'd post a pic of my Real life Houndoom, since there's another Houndoom fan on here, His name is Spiro, he knows a few moves, Crunch, pursuit and flamethrower (From the wrong end though, lol)

I agree with you here. Houndoom is a really cool Pokemon, possessing equally awesome movesets and stats. The only drawback he has is his obvious lack of keeping his weaknesses at bay.

Honchcrow had been in OU in gen IV, IIRC. He's a pretty much good Pokemon, and certainly a really welcomed Gen IV evolution.
