Nintendont is doing DEI by giving megaevolutions to the already good mons like the pseudolegendaries instead of the humble shitmons like magcargo and ledyba

Regional form was pretty fun looking. I don't know anything about Deci's viability in the tcg or main vidya tho

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

It's not great. I don't play the TCG but last time I checked he was considered a pretty weak Mon in the main vidya gaems

Sceptile, Meowscarada and Serperior: side-eye-1 side-eye-2

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Ooh yah. Meow was fun with flower trick. I have to profess (confess?) ignorance about sceptile and serperior, when were/are they good?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Serperior was good with a technically illegal moveset in B2W2. It's hidden ability Contrary + Leaf Storm was really busted, the issue being that for official tournaments, Contrary wasn't available on Serperior until after the last official tournament of Gen V was over. In Smogon (smdh) it was alright but obviously wasn't going to compete in Ubers.

I see! Thanks for the explanation. My competitive knowledge extends to Wolfey vids and what one of my friend tells me about occasionally so it's useful to be able to keep up so I can chat with her about it.

[–] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sceptile was screwed by the physical/special split.

Serperior though is actually really fun design.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

I like how the evo line loses its legs

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Venusaur has been competive for a while at least!

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I remember getting bullied for picking bulba as my starter in red lmaoooo dw im old too

Edit: also for one red hot minute I was in the top 100 venusaur players worldwide on Pokemon unite

[–] Dort_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Hell yeah frog it up

[–] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Tbf at least some megas feels more like a sidegrade like garchomp for example.
