*grabs megaphone* WHITNEY'S MILTANK ISN'T THAT BAD
Funny enough, Chikorita ACTUALLY does fucking amazing against it, Poison Powder and Reflect by the time you challenge her

I beat that Miltank with a Pichu once.

I have incredible respect for you adorable birb

Also holy shit, Minior looks like it'll be terrifying in competitive
120 on both offensive and speed stats after Shields Down, it gets Shell Smash and the motherfucker has an amazing movepull

It's actually the more skillful option, like Stealth and Sniping, where you have to study the opponent, be predictive, and know when to use Recover and when to try to pass Status Ailments.

Besides, things like Speed Boost and Mega Beedril predicate Protect, especially the latter who needs guarenteed safety before it can start going for the kill due to Mega Stats not immediately taking effect.

....*twitches*ISN"T THAT BAD?!!!!

That pink cow utterly murdered me back in the day.

So many Pokemon Center visits so much sodium fueled 10 year old rage....

*twitches*

Took me on try as a kid, and I had no clue what happened to abilities and shit
Actually, Megas don't have to wait a turn for their speed stat to change anymore

...All my hate


not really:p

*uses Rage Powder*
Question: Does anyone nickname their mons? I grew to loving nicknames to the point I breed specific Pokemon for the sake of nicknames, like Claydol being called Gorgos (I think that was the Amazon fucker's name) or a Gooey Goodra called HUG ME MOFO. Only problem now is I can't think of a mon I can call Savitar after seeing Arrowverse's take on him

When I get Moon I'm so nicknaming my Popplio "Wubbles" and if I get a Litten I'm calling it "Rath".

I never had much trouble with Miltank either as a kid.

Although when I got SoulSilver it DID prove a frustrating battle, even though I had a much better idea what I was doing by then :lol
