[Zelda]

OMGOMGOMG GUYS,
I'M SORRY FOR THE DELAY.

Anyway here's our weekly poll for this week!!! & It's quite electrifying! lame puns ftw

Which one gives you the better impression & why?

Which Dream World art stands out the most to you?

If you could be one of these Pokémon (actually transform into one!) which one would you want to turn into?

Against one another, who would win the battle?

Galvantula or Zebstrika?!

GOGOGO!
​

​

 

[Vrai]

Galvantula is really cool because Bug/Electric is an awesome typing (and 91% accurate Thunders are awesomeeee) but Zebstrika is really cool too just cos it's a zebra and awesome. Competitively (shut up this is the only way I think) Galvantula is far, far better just because it has a better STAB combination and strong. Dream World-art wise... Zebstrika, definitely. UH IDK ABOUT TRANSFORMING INTO A POKEMON IM NOT JUSTINRPG OKAY

Annnnnnnnnnnnd I'm just gonna pick randomly since I think they're equally good. ;;

 

[Mana1]

Which one gives you the better impression & why?
Galvantula, it has a nicer name and a more interesting design (and its quite cute awh.

Which Dream World art stands out the most to you?
I prefer Zebstrika's posing.

If you could be one of these Pokémon (actually transform into one!) which one would you want to turn into?
Probably Zebstrika, less people are scared of Zebra.

Against one another, who would win the battle?
Zebstrika, it has access to fire moves after all.

Galvantula or Zebstrika?!
In terms of movepool, Galvantula is a bit more diverse an interesting, however I think overall Zebstrika is the winner for sheer awesome zebra vibes.

 

[Turn-it]

The Spider duh! lol The zebra didn't do it for me. I don't feel like it could sweep anything if given the chance. I, myself, wouldn't wouldn't use the spider.....got a thing about spiders.....:(

 

[blue]

Good one!


Which one gives you the better impression & why?

Zebstrika, mainly because it's the first Zebra Pokémon out of five generations!

Which Dream World art stands out the most to you?

Galvantula, the colours, positioning and the art overall just appeals to me more.

If you could be one of these Pokémon (actually transform into one!) which one would you want to turn into?

Tough one, Galvantula for speed and Zebstrika for appearence so tied really.

Against one another, who would win the battle?

Zebstrika, just seems like it's slightly more powerful based upon it's looks.

Galvantula or Zebstrika?!

Zebstrika, as much as I like the both of them I've had experience with both and I found Zebstrika to be more helpful but Galvantula is still an awesome Pokémon.

 

[Ghiaccio]

Which one gives you the better impression & why?
Eh, I'd say Galvantula, I like the spider design, and the typing is pretty cool too.
Which Dream World art stands out the most to you?
Zebstrika, it just looks more... confident I guess, the pose is better at the very least
If you could be one of these Pokémon (actually transform into one!) which one would you want to turn into?
Um... Idk I'd rather not turn into either but I'd probably turn into Zebstrika, because I'd rather not be a spider (plus the chances of being eaten if it was a pokemon-eat-pokemon world) and Zebstrika... yeah idk anyways...
Against one another, who would win the battle?
Probably Galvantula, unless Zebstrika got really lucky with a flame charge, but I'm going with Galvantula, Bug Buzz or something similar would take it out real fast.
Galvantula or Zebstrika?!
Galvantula! Overall, I just like it better, but Zebstrika is still really cool too (but I'd probably never use Zeb in a playthrough)

 

[Hikamaru]

Which one gives you the better impression & why? Zebstrika, cos I'm more of a zebra fan compared to a spider fan.
Which Dream World art stands out the most to you? Zebstrika, it looks cool.
If you could be one of these Pokémon (actually transform into one!) which one would you want to turn into? I'd be Zebstrika, just cos I used one in Black and she was my star in the Nimbasa Gym, sweeping Elesa's entire team.
Against one another, who would win the battle? Zebstrika, cos it can use Flame Charge which is super-effective on Galvantula.
Galvantula or Zebstrika?! I'm a Zebstrika girl, I just don't like bugs that much.

 

[Atomic Pirate]

Which one gives you the better impression and why?
Galvantula, by quite a lot. It's appearance reminds me of a cooler Ariados, which already looked great, and I like spiders anyway.

Which Dream World art stands out the most to you?
Galvantula has a very odd appearance on it's own, so it's DW art stands out the most to me. Honestly, though, I'm not the best guy to ask about DW, because I don't really use it.

If you could be one of these Pokemon, which one would you want to turn into?
Scaling vertical walls, keeping people away with electrified webs, having 6 eyes, and looking awesome are only some of the benifits that becoming a Galvantula would herald. Definitely Galvantula.

Against one another, which one would win the battle?
Sure, Zebstrika has Flame Charge. However, it has poor stats that make it frail to just about any attack that hits it. Galvantula has Compoundeyes, giving it great accuracy to go along with it's moveset. A fight between these two could go either way, really, but I'd have to, unfortunately, say Zebstrika wins here. If Flame Charge misses, though, then Galvantula would likely win.

Zebstrika or Galvantula?
Definitely Galvantula. I like insects/arachnids in general, and I really, really, really dislike Zebstrika's design. It also helps that Galvantula has one of the best designs in Generation 5.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

I happen to like Galvantula more, better design, better movepool, and better concept in general lol.

 

[kevcrash]

I think Galvantula wins for me. Zebstrika looks cooler, but Galvantula is just a lot better of a Pokemon, and has good, fairly balanced stats.

 

[PokeLordAndrew]

Which one gives you the better impression & why?
At first glance the better impression is Zebstrika, it definately has an air of being tough about it (The "Can't Judge A Book By It's Cover" rule comes into play here. haha)

Which Dream World art stands out the most to you?
Zebstrika; The pose is just a lot 'cooler' than Galvantula's Dream World art.

If you could be one of these Pokémon (actually transform into one!) which one would you want to turn into?
Galvantula, because I think it would be really interesting to be a bug type that has electric capabilities

Against one another, who would win the battle?
Zebstrika would win, assuming the trainer has kept it's fire attack while training it

Galvantula or Zebstrika?!
Galvantula, I just plain love the Joltik - Galvantula line of evolution, one of the few things that didn't make me want to cry about black and white

 

[PlatinumDude]

I like Galvantula better because of its secondary Bug typing, which gives it STAB on Bug Buzz. 91% accurate Thunders, courtesy of CompoundEyes, are also neat.

 

[Kenshin5]

I don't dislike them, but by the same token I am not too high on them either like I am with Eelektross. In terms of appearance and design I like Zebstrika and in terms of battling I'd probably opt with Galvantula, since Zebstrika seemed pretty useless mid game. I will give Zebstrika a slight edge cause it is owned by Stephan.

 

[Ho-Oh]

Okay so this is hard. Mainly for me I... care more about their battling skills, so completely ignoring the fact that Shimama... uh, Blitzle was one of my first Unova favourites, and that Galvantula was my favourite for many months, I'm going to just have to forget all that and think entirely about battling like that's hard.

KAY SO, when I saw the poll, I immediately thought "HMMM IS GALVANTULA NU? IF SO THAT'D BE PRETTY AWESOME TO USE" and then I checked Smogon, and nope, which was my first disappointment. However, as a negative for Zebstrika, it did beat my team at one point. HOWEVER, I dislike the tier Galvantula is in for no logical reason whatsoever, and since I'm doing nu lately... I pick Zebstrika.

That is probably the worst reason to pick a Pokemon ever I'm sorry world, lool. :(

 

[Legendary Silke]

Galvantula? Man, I want a Galvantula now cause he's that awesome. I think I'm not much of a battler, so I only need something that's good enough.

Oh, and cutest spider ever <3

Impression? Galvantula (Zebby looks so boring)
DW? Galvantula
In a battle, Zebby would win against Gab. Not that it matters, though.

Can I be a Galvantula?

 

[Mentalii]

Zebstrika. I used both Pokémons in my team, and I think the zebra is stronger.
And I don't really like Galvantula... Compared to the badass spider of gen 2, Gyarados, it's insignificant for me.

 

[DannyPokeFan]

Gotta be Galvantula. Better Speed, Better Special Attack and 91% Thunder = win

 

[Sydian]

FUZZY SPIDER. Because it's fuzzy, cute, yellow, and doesn't suck. I love using Galvantula and used on in my first run of White, and I'm actually using it again in my English White because it's so fuzzy and great.

 

[miltankRancher]

Hard poll, actually. I like both in terms of usability and design. They tied in practically everything in my book.

But I choose Galvantula because of the dual typing. :)

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

Which one gives you the better impression & why?​

-Zebstrika, I love its simplistic yet effective design.​

Which Dream World art stands out the most to you?​

-Zebstrika, I love its expression haha.

If you could be one of these Pokémon (actually transform into one!) which one would you want to turn into?
-Hmm... I'd rather be a zebra than a spider lol.

Against one another, who would win the battle?​

-I'm honestly not sure lol.

Galvantula or Zebstrika?​

-Gotta be Zebstrika for me :)​
