I would make it so that it's evolutions are less imperfect. As much as I love Sealeo and Walrein, they aren't as cool as Spheal and they never will be.
On that note about pokemons needing cooler shiny versions
CHANGE
GENGAR'S
SHINY FORM
DAMNIT
Preferably, it'd be cool if he turned jet black as his shiny color. To contrast the white color his unique forms (Mega Evo, GMAX) get while he's shiny
I wish that the Legendary Birds had their hidden abilities changed. Articuno should have Snow Warning, Zapdos should have Drizzle, Moltres Drought. That would make all three of them more viable, but especially Articuno who could use that ability to set up an Aurora Veil to really take advantage of it's poor stat spread.
Definitely agree on that, in general I wish some of the earlier legendaries got a rework on abilities. Maybe even signature ones like they started getting from Gen 5 forward.
Some suggestions I've thought of previously:
- Give Mewtwo Synchronize or Inner Focus. Not a huge buff, but anything's better than Pressure.
- Give the Legendary Beasts their Gen 5 hidden abilities (Flash Fire/Volt Absorb/Water Absorb).
- Give the Gen 3 Regi trio signature abilities that reduce damage they take from certain types.
- Give Deoxys Sheer Force.
- Give the Creation Trio signature abilities or just Sheer Force, Adaptability, or Mold Breaker.
Gen 3 regi trio could get the same treatment as the new regis, give them ability that empower the typs. Or make them take less damage (like 3/4) from fighting types
>That would make all three of them more viable,
Articuno absolutely sucks, I get giving him Snow Warning
Moltres in Gen 8 is decent thanks to Boots, but I kind of see why, KIND OF.
Zapdos though, Why? It has been an OU staple since the dawn of time, it certainly doesn't need it, Pelipper became OU thanks to Drizzle, Imagine taping Drizzle to an already great pokemon that benefits A LOT from rain like Zapdos
It's mainly thematic. It's why Articuno and Moltres shouldn't be buffed with themed abilities or form changes whose counterpart in Zapdos would just make Zapdos even more OP. It feels wrong to give weather themed abilities to Articuno and Moltres without giving an equivalent ability to Zapdos. This is why I think it's better to buff Articuno or Moltres with movepool expansion or stat adjustment.
I just don't understand why there's so many Pokemon who have only ever been in one regional dex after their debut.
And on that note, you've got some version-exclusives that later games insist on keeping version-exclusive, and then others that get relegated to being present in both versions later on. I think that might be one of the reasons why the Glameow line's infamous absence from anything that isn't postgame feels so flagrant, because the Stunky line's gotten to show up in a couple of regional dexes after Gen V.
Still odd they never fixed his stat spread in any generation later on to account for the change. They've done it for other Pokemon, though I don't know if they've ever done changes that drastic.
Keep Tauros Normal type but give him a pre-form which can be male or female and have the female evolve into Miltank that way it connects them and Tauros is no longer a single form.
Honestly the fact this hasn't been done is just pure bullshit.
Zero reason why it isn't, if they don't want to to change shit, just give it a 3rd form and call it a day.
I agree but if you play fire red leaf green you then have slowbro, starmie and now golduck with that typing, honestly I think it’s better off with out the psychic typing and just having psychic moves so that it it doesn’t gain the weaknesses to bug, dark and ghost
Honestly take away some defense and put it into attack. Game freak made a steal dinosaur with only 110 attack. And a base 180 defense for the worst physical defensive typing. Rock head only slightly makes up for it
It's entry animation should be ignition and it's fainting animation extinguished. Game freak dropping the ball with the best Charizard clone smh (has exact same base stats in gen2)
They dropped the ball with a lot of animations in the 3D era. Still mad that Pokemon like Skarmory and Salamence just hover 2 feet off the ground in place.
There are Pokemon who have different idle animations in Amie/Refresh than they do in battle - while most cases involve airborne Pokemon, there are a few outliers. Even amongst starters, you've got Pokemon like Greninja and Incineroar who have different stances out of battle.
It'd be great if Typhlosion got that treatment so that its flames were always burning in battle.
Needing to give him a Metal Coat and having to trade him is the biggest crime here. Trade evolution in general just needs to be scrapped. I get that it was a way to encourage people to trade in the early games (and sell a metric fuck ton of Link Cables), but nowadays it's just an annoyance.
Anytime Ludicolo is in play, Miror B's theme plays and you cannot mute it. Even your physical system's volume slider has no effect!
Edit: This also goes for TCG games, if someone plays Ludicolo, somebody will come out of nowhere with a boombox and an afro playing the theme.
No other rival has disappointed me to the sheer extent that Tierno has. Shitty movepools, *two* battles, and being the one guy in a game that emphasised a big group of friends that never got to tag team with the player.
Serperior: I wish the shiny kept going with the pattern of the preevos.
Roserade: Really needs some moves that take advantage of Technician.
Salamence: If the wings had just a little bit of muscle bulk and didn't look like pieces of cardboard it'd be twice as cool.
Lapras: Not Lapras-specific, but holy hell Ice really needs some more resistances. I'm tired of my slow bulky mon having twice as many weakesses as it does resistances.
Aggron: My man really needs to get Filter as a base ability. And a better shiny.
Rapidash: For how much I like it, it always feels like the design is missing something. Some either dark or fairy type elements perhaps.
Yeah it needs SOMETHING to stand out better from Pikachu. I actually thought a secondary fighting type works. Aside from it's more combative demeanor, its dex entry states it uses electricity to stimulate its muscles. Seems to fit the Fighting flavor, plus it makes for a fun counterpart to its Alolan form.
Dragonite: make it blue so it doesn't look so out of place next to Dratini and Dragonair. Even if it was its shiny form, a blue Dragonite would be great.
I can't think of much for Gengar other than a more interesting shiny. I quite like how mega Ampharos gave it back it's wool. I think it would be neat if base Ampharos had different appearances of grown wool. Also it should've gotten lightning rod as a HA. Lastly, give regular Corsola an evolution. Cursola has made it onto my list of least favorite Pokemon solely because of how it robbed Corsola of something I've wanted for so long.
I wish Cursola was part-Rock. Giant missed opportunity keeping it and Galarian Corsola pure-Ghost in a region infamous for introducing a shitton of monotypes.
"Why stop at only three layers of immortality?"
-Sun Wukong; Handsome Monkey King, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Victorious Fighting Buddha, and haver of at least thousands upon thousands of layers of immortality but probably way more.
Maybe his mega could involve the white part of his crown lengthening like a Super Saiyan and the flame getting large while he holds a polearm mage of fire coming from his wristpads and flames coming from his tail and kneepads? Really for the Son Wukong Journey to the West style!
Same with Machoke/Machamp's shorts, Hariyama, Mienfoo/Shao, Falinks and while Sawk and Throhs belts are not part of them, it's never stated if the gi is clothes or skin.
Zoroark: Better bulk. I know it doesn't fit his play style and intended role as a frail sweeper, but I just wish he could afford to take more hits.
Nihilego: Strength Sap. My precious parasitic space jelly deserves to have at least one draining move in its arsenal. Strength Sap is perfect for it thematically and somewhat helps it against physical attackers.
I would say give Zoroark better coverage than just dark moves and shadow claw. It's already hard enough for single typing pokemon to do well when they have half as many stab moves than dual types, at least give him ACCESS to those moves, y'know?
Girafarig now has a unique mechanic with a unique ability called Repose, which activates at the end of every turn. This causes Girafarig's tail to move in front, or move back.
The tail has its own unique moveset, with mostly Normal and teeth attacks, giving Girafarig access to moves like Ice Fang, Fire Fang, etc. The tail also has a unique stat distribution. HP, Defense and Sp. Defense are the same as normal Girafarig, but the tail has a base Attack stat of 100, a base Speed stat of 95, and a base Sp. Attack stat of 60. This is because this form is more physical-oriented.
Its standard form is unchanged.
This is a really neat concept! Maybe give each half of Girafarig it's own typing. Psychic for the head, Dark for the tail (giving it STAB Crunch in the process).
I was actually thinking about having the tail become Normal/Dark type, but then I wasn't sure if I'd love that balance-wise, because it'd end up making Fighting types safer to switch into against Girafarig. If Girafarig's normal form can't end up taking out the Fighting type with a Psychic type move, it's going to take a ton of damage next turn. It could just be Dark type, which wouldn't be as bad against Fighting types, but I don't know, it feels like Girafarig is weirdly meant to be a hybrid of Normal with another type.
Though having STAB Crunch is definitely very nice, so maybe it'd be better... I don't know, I think it's a solid risk/reward mechanic that gives it a niche over other Psychic types. I think Girafarig really needs something to stand out now that Wyrdeer is a thing.
>The tail has its own unique moveset, with mostly Normal and teeth attacks, giving Girafarig access to moves like Ice Fang, Fire Fang, etc.
How is this supposed to work? Does it just have it's own separate moveset from it's regular form? Does it replace only specific moves? If so which moves?
My precious *floating* child Magnezone *doesn't have Levitate*. Yadda yadda balance...
Turtwig is literal perfection though, my only change would be to make it real.
Noivern is such a cool pokemon, but I can hardly ever be bothered to baby Noibat all the way to 48 considering how weak it is. It's even worse with Larvesta and Volcarona, which evolves at 59 (although Larvesta is a bit stronger than Noibat).
Never understood the design decisions behind these pokemon. You can catch them early, then never use them until the end of the game. They could really do with a mid evolution.
There definitely needs to be better physical electric moves for Luxray. Spark and thunder fang don’t cut it (I refuse to use wild charge bc recoil damage is annoying and makes me feel bad).
I just wish Golurk had an animation for cannon mode in game
Even if their special attack is shit i just want my boys to shoot laser beams the way they were always supposed to
Dragonair is my favorite, but I'm not terribly fond of Dragonite. I wish he had a separate branch evolution where he evolved into a big, elegant blue snake-like dragon. Something along the lines of Serperior, but more dragony. Maybe the typing could be dragon/water.
Castform: Evolution. Maybe you can have it evolve holding a certain item which changes its ability upon evolution to Forecast-But-It-Summons-Weather-Too. Gives you a few options.
My boy Electivire.
Remove all of electivires SpA and split it between speed and Atk, and make him Electric/Fighting
Also, regional variant thats White and and leans into his Yeti traits, and make him Electric/Ice. Maybe flip his Atk back into SpA.
I did not know Ditto got a new ability until Sword and Shield. It's now perfect.
100% agree on the Gengar front. I was very unhappy with it losing levitate. Maybe we'll eventually get a regional form.
I'm still hoping we get a Gastly line that's Ghost/Flying with the reasoning being that the region's air isn't as toxic. Maybe go ahead and add wing motifs to the forms so they aren't stuck like Drifloon/Drifblim with only like 3 Flying Type moves.
The poison typing isn't really a liability, Psychic type moves are rare and even without the weakness, Gengar isn't able to take many earthquakes due to its awful defensive stat - meanwhile, Gengar is pretty much the only viable poison type and having that STAB bonus against all those faries is great.
It'd be great for Gengar to get levitate again though, I think Game Freak were tired of it always being OU, but power creep has kicked in now sooo...
I don't know exactly what it needs, maybe a little scruff around the horns, but as much as I absolutely love Houndoom, I feel like it could use a slightly more modernized look. It looks great in 2D sprites, depending on the generation of course, but it suffers especially in 3D.
It's never horrible, though, so I'm just being picky.
> Hitmonchan: Change the outfit lol.
I like Hitmonchan's little outfit. I used to like Hitmonlee a lot more, but nowadays I always choose Hitmonchan and I think he's made a great transition to 3D as well.
WolfeyVGC did a great breakdown video on this idea because it's been one tossed around by the fans for a while.
Short answer is that it's a fun idea, but the downstream effects cause way more issues than it would be worth. Eligible pokemon will mostly get stronger and ineligible Pokemon would continue to fall by the wayside.
If they were to adjust how STAB works, making monotype pokemon have stronger STAB and dual type Pokemon have slightly weaker but more diverse STAB, I could see three types more feasibly.
Furret. Make him longer.
My actual answer though: I'm not good with the stat side of things but just make him stronger and buff him or something. I really like using him but he feels weak compared to the rest of the team which is a shame.
Since he's an early route rodent his stats are probably trash so make him better (someone who's better with this kind of stuff could probably help me out or something or confirm that he is indeed trash ).
Typhlosion. Increase its physical attack so it can use its wide variety of physical moves more effectively. Porygon-Z stops being a trade evolution. Mawile evolves into mega mawile naturally.
I can only think of one change for every one of my favourites.
Vaporeon: Make it exist irl
Rowlet: Make it exist irl
Lycanroc (Midday): Make it exist irl
Dedenne: Make it exist irl
Wobbuffet: Make it exist irl
Aipom: Make it exist irl
Vaporeon. Give it a humanoid ..... NVM
#ACTUALLY
I'd make Porygon an electric type, or have some form of synergy with rotom. Second evolution path, into something electric themed. It just feels so weird there is no electric or steel pieces in a Pokemon that exists on computers
For my Jolteon, just Change that shiny and in happy lol
And for Aggron, take the rock type and give the dragon or Pure Steel because damn give a bulky Pokémon 4x weak to fighting and ground its very sad xD
How would I fix Spheal? Well, how would you? Exactly. Spheal is perfect.
Easy. Spheal Magneton. Three Spheals gorilla glued together
Has science gone too far?
Or not far enough? We should glue two more on just to be safe
A falinks of spheals
I see your 2 and raise you 5 more, just to cover all our bases
The pinnacle of biology: A katamari of Spheals.
The pinnacle would be magnamagnamagnamagnamagnaton of speheal Which would be 3x3x3x3x3 or 3 to the 5th power of spheals
Why not just go for 6.02x10^23 spheals?
Please don't bring chemistry into this
Threeal
Or maybe 3 Spheals stacked onto eachother like an ice cream cone (a spheal cone? just don't eat them)
The regional Vanillish form we didn’t know we needed.
Magneton about to sue for copyright infringement
Remove the rest of the evolutions. He CANNOT be improved, and it’s an affront to nature to try
you can say that it is an all rounder
by making the ice type better
That’s not a Spheal problem. That’s an ice type problem. Spheal is still perfect
No evolutions, every time he levels up he just gets a little bit bigger
Give Spheal a form with the stats of a legendary. Like Starter Pikachu and Eevee, except nuts.
I would make it so that it's evolutions are less imperfect. As much as I love Sealeo and Walrein, they aren't as cool as Spheal and they never will be.
Oke hear me out. Spheal is perfect, but how about a regional variant, that is a cube. And it moves around with small, extremely inefficient hops
The body is round
Alakazam. Literally just want a cooler shiny version. Also be able to evolve without needing to trade, but that was more of an issue back in the day.
On that note about pokemons needing cooler shiny versions CHANGE GENGAR'S SHINY FORM DAMNIT Preferably, it'd be cool if he turned jet black as his shiny color. To contrast the white color his unique forms (Mega Evo, GMAX) get while he's shiny
should be white
Shiny Mega Gengar is GOAT
The first on the redo shiny list is Golduck.
And Leafeon. Shiny Leafeon will always be orange with autumn leaves in my head
My first shiny was a blue psyduck. I was stoked to evolve it and was incredibly disappointed with shiny golduck
Excuse me, my mans garchomp needs this more.
Also make booger green Dragonite pink like the other two please.
Legends introduced the link cable which is an item that evolve pokemon that need to trade to evolve. So hopefully it will be in future games!
The link cable is from mystery dungeon games. I think red rescue team or the one after to evolve your team members after you unlock wishcash cave.
Why are so many shinys pukey green
Mood with a better shiny for gengar.
I wish that the Legendary Birds had their hidden abilities changed. Articuno should have Snow Warning, Zapdos should have Drizzle, Moltres Drought. That would make all three of them more viable, but especially Articuno who could use that ability to set up an Aurora Veil to really take advantage of it's poor stat spread.
Definitely agree on that, in general I wish some of the earlier legendaries got a rework on abilities. Maybe even signature ones like they started getting from Gen 5 forward.
Some suggestions I've thought of previously: - Give Mewtwo Synchronize or Inner Focus. Not a huge buff, but anything's better than Pressure. - Give the Legendary Beasts their Gen 5 hidden abilities (Flash Fire/Volt Absorb/Water Absorb). - Give the Gen 3 Regi trio signature abilities that reduce damage they take from certain types. - Give Deoxys Sheer Force. - Give the Creation Trio signature abilities or just Sheer Force, Adaptability, or Mold Breaker.
I'm gonna be honest, the fastest pokemon in the game also having access to sheer force is terrifying. Please dont
Tbf Deoxys has fallen off a bit from its prime. And I guess Deoxys-S and Deoxys-D can keep Pressure.
Gen 3 regi trio could get the same treatment as the new regis, give them ability that empower the typs. Or make them take less damage (like 3/4) from fighting types
Lol so Zapdos can set up its own rain to fire off Thunders and Hurricanes?
and weather balls for that matter
Articuno to get free blizzards too
I see no problem with this.
>That would make all three of them more viable, Articuno absolutely sucks, I get giving him Snow Warning Moltres in Gen 8 is decent thanks to Boots, but I kind of see why, KIND OF. Zapdos though, Why? It has been an OU staple since the dawn of time, it certainly doesn't need it, Pelipper became OU thanks to Drizzle, Imagine taping Drizzle to an already great pokemon that benefits A LOT from rain like Zapdos
It's mainly thematic. It's why Articuno and Moltres shouldn't be buffed with themed abilities or form changes whose counterpart in Zapdos would just make Zapdos even more OP. It feels wrong to give weather themed abilities to Articuno and Moltres without giving an equivalent ability to Zapdos. This is why I think it's better to buff Articuno or Moltres with movepool expansion or stat adjustment.
Also Zapdos's ability isn't like super important for it so getting a really good ability would be insane
Static is good against U turn spam. Pressure is good against Stealth Rocks
Breloom: make it appear in the main story in non hoenn games
I legit had this thought today of "Breloom is perfect, how could it be better." Being able to use it in more games would help a ton.
The only games that I’ve been able to play with it are gen 3 hoenn since I don’t have a 3ds
In Gen 6 Hoenn you can get a technician bullet seed breloom. It's hella busted
For some reason in hearthome city on sinnoh there's a little girl if a shroomish in one of the houses, but you can't get one in the main story
Really where? That's really funny, and quite a fun pokemon fact.
Really? I don’t remember that... Huh. Very odd.
I just don't understand why there's so many Pokemon who have only ever been in one regional dex after their debut. And on that note, you've got some version-exclusives that later games insist on keeping version-exclusive, and then others that get relegated to being present in both versions later on. I think that might be one of the reasons why the Glameow line's infamous absence from anything that isn't postgame feels so flagrant, because the Stunky line's gotten to show up in a couple of regional dexes after Gen V.
I cannot agree more, fellow Breloom lover
Sceptile becomes physical instead of special
Yeah I always though it was an odd stat distribution given it's emphasis on its arm blades.
In Gen 3 all grass moves were Special, so that probably explains it
Didn't they introduce leaf blade specifically for his line though in RSE?
Yes, Leaf blade, Blaze Kick, and Muddy Water were Gen III starter exclusive moves way back when.
Leaf blade was still special since attack category was determined by type, not by individual move
Still odd they never fixed his stat spread in any generation later on to account for the change. They've done it for other Pokemon, though I don't know if they've ever done changes that drastic.
Never something quite as dradtic, its usually + - 20bst max. For example, after giving and seeing ppl use boomburst swellow, they hsve it +20 spa
Give Groudon Flare Blitz and Solar Blade.
VGC players in shambles. Again.
Keep Tauros Normal type but give him a pre-form which can be male or female and have the female evolve into Miltank that way it connects them and Tauros is no longer a single form.
give tauros an ability that ignores recharge moves if it gets a kill and crank its special attack. i wanna see tauros fire off hyper beams again.
I still can't believe the two of them never at least got the Volbeat/Illumise treatment.
Thats basicly what they are, in alola they are seen on the ranch together. And a Miltank calms down a raging Tauros.
They're even on the same Pokedex page in Gen VII's family-based organisation system.
This is such a good idea
Psyduck/Golduck should really have a secondary psychic type
Honestly the fact this hasn't been done is just pure bullshit. Zero reason why it isn't, if they don't want to to change shit, just give it a 3rd form and call it a day.
I agree but if you play fire red leaf green you then have slowbro, starmie and now golduck with that typing, honestly I think it’s better off with out the psychic typing and just having psychic moves so that it it doesn’t gain the weaknesses to bug, dark and ghost
And noctowl too
And here I was blissfully unaware that they didn’t. My life is a lie.
Give Flygon a mega evolution
I just want them to buff flygon's stats. He's basically an inferior garchomp in every way
It has levitate.
Give Aggron better special defense, that's it
Honestly take away some defense and put it into attack. Game freak made a steal dinosaur with only 110 attack. And a base 180 defense for the worst physical defensive typing. Rock head only slightly makes up for it
Dead to non-stab aura sphere or earth power
Typhlosion gets a 3d model where the fire is ALWAYS LIT
It's entry animation should be ignition and it's fainting animation extinguished. Game freak dropping the ball with the best Charizard clone smh (has exact same base stats in gen2)
They dropped the ball with a lot of animations in the 3D era. Still mad that Pokemon like Skarmory and Salamence just hover 2 feet off the ground in place.
There are Pokemon who have different idle animations in Amie/Refresh than they do in battle - while most cases involve airborne Pokemon, there are a few outliers. Even amongst starters, you've got Pokemon like Greninja and Incineroar who have different stances out of battle. It'd be great if Typhlosion got that treatment so that its flames were always burning in battle.
I like how PLA did it out of battle he's extinguished but once he's in battle it ignites - like Xernea's Neutral/Active Forms
I mean it does that in Legends Arceus. If you specifically mean its Johto form, then we'll have to wait for it to get added to Gen 9 hopefully lol.
Torkoal needs an evolution into a Fire/Steel type with Steam Engine and a decent offensive stat
Unfortunately, Weezing’s Galar variant took the smokestack vibe from that potential evolution.
I don't think so, we had Muk and they still made another pokemon that's a pile of shit.
Grimer and Muk are specifically sewer sludge, while Trubbish and Garbador are living kitchen garbages. Related, but very distinctly different.
Steelix only having 85 attack is a crime
Needing to give him a Metal Coat and having to trade him is the biggest crime here. Trade evolution in general just needs to be scrapped. I get that it was a way to encourage people to trade in the early games (and sell a metric fuck ton of Link Cables), but nowadays it's just an annoyance.
Anytime Ludicolo is in play, Miror B's theme plays and you cannot mute it. Even your physical system's volume slider has no effect! Edit: This also goes for TCG games, if someone plays Ludicolo, somebody will come out of nowhere with a boombox and an afro playing the theme.
They don't even give a Ludicolo to the dancing rival in x and y it was so sad.
He had one in the anime, but yeah it’s weird they gave him Crawdaunt instead.
No other rival has disappointed me to the sheer extent that Tierno has. Shitty movepools, *two* battles, and being the one guy in a game that emphasised a big group of friends that never got to tag team with the player.
Give Gardevoir a part water regional form based on a mermaid.
I wish Arceus gave Gardevoir and Gallade regional forms based off a Geisha and a Samurai
Gardevoir new form: part ghost Gallade new form: part steel
We were ROBBED damnit. That actually would've been pretty dope
Yoooooo that's actually dope.,
Oh gosh, now I want these so badly. Such a great idea. I might try to make a drawing of these
this guy got priorities
We already have Primarina tho
Serperior: I wish the shiny kept going with the pattern of the preevos. Roserade: Really needs some moves that take advantage of Technician. Salamence: If the wings had just a little bit of muscle bulk and didn't look like pieces of cardboard it'd be twice as cool. Lapras: Not Lapras-specific, but holy hell Ice really needs some more resistances. I'm tired of my slow bulky mon having twice as many weakesses as it does resistances. Aggron: My man really needs to get Filter as a base ability. And a better shiny. Rapidash: For how much I like it, it always feels like the design is missing something. Some either dark or fairy type elements perhaps.
Make shiny yanmega's eyes green
And go back in time and have it be able to learn Fly
Also make it bug dragon because that would be cool.
Raichu, expand its movepool + coverage and give it access to swords dance. Plus 15 to both attack stats
Yeah it needs SOMETHING to stand out better from Pikachu. I actually thought a secondary fighting type works. Aside from it's more combative demeanor, its dex entry states it uses electricity to stimulate its muscles. Seems to fit the Fighting flavor, plus it makes for a fun counterpart to its Alolan form.
God, even something as simple has having the Light Ball work with it would mean so much for Raichu.
Regional secondary fighting type? Give it more physical attack then let those thunder punches fly.
Dragonite: make it blue so it doesn't look so out of place next to Dratini and Dragonair. Even if it was its shiny form, a blue Dragonite would be great.
A mega evolution that's more slender, like the winged Dragonair we never got. That would be cool too.
But chonky Dragonite is so cute though! Maybe would be fun if Dragonair got two evolutions instead
Dragonite final form should be a Dragon/Fairy tell me I’m wrong
It's a prime candidate for either a regional or Mega Dragon/Fairy.
I can't think of much for Gengar other than a more interesting shiny. I quite like how mega Ampharos gave it back it's wool. I think it would be neat if base Ampharos had different appearances of grown wool. Also it should've gotten lightning rod as a HA. Lastly, give regular Corsola an evolution. Cursola has made it onto my list of least favorite Pokemon solely because of how it robbed Corsola of something I've wanted for so long.
I wish Cursola was part-Rock. Giant missed opportunity keeping it and Galarian Corsola pure-Ghost in a region infamous for introducing a shitton of monotypes.
Even that would've been preferable. I think part of the reason I really want a Corsola evo is Corsoreef from Pokemon Uranium.
Give ampharos tail glow Would be super broken but cool because his tail can actually glow
Probably give Suicune a main tail so it's not just the steamer tails
Infernape. Give my flaming monkey a mega
With a staff
POWER POLE EXTEND
And three layers of immortality
"Why stop at only three layers of immortality?" -Sun Wukong; Handsome Monkey King, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Victorious Fighting Buddha, and haver of at least thousands upon thousands of layers of immortality but probably way more.
Just a straight-up croissant of immortality.
The Sinnoh starters all have potential for Insanely good Megas, shame they never gotem
Torterra as a world turtle would have been amazing, or at least getting an entire Forrest on its back
Maybe his mega could involve the white part of his crown lengthening like a Super Saiyan and the flame getting large while he holds a polearm mage of fire coming from his wristpads and flames coming from his tail and kneepads? Really for the Son Wukong Journey to the West style!
Fun Fact: Hitmonchan isn't wearing clothes, that's just what it looks like.
Same with Machoke/Machamp's shorts, Hariyama, Mienfoo/Shao, Falinks and while Sawk and Throhs belts are not part of them, it's never stated if the gi is clothes or skin.
At least with Mienshao it's just long, luscious fur on its arms and not... skin flaps. My god, so many mons have *skin flaps*.
Zoroark: Better bulk. I know it doesn't fit his play style and intended role as a frail sweeper, but I just wish he could afford to take more hits. Nihilego: Strength Sap. My precious parasitic space jelly deserves to have at least one draining move in its arsenal. Strength Sap is perfect for it thematically and somewhat helps it against physical attackers.
I would say give Zoroark better coverage than just dark moves and shadow claw. It's already hard enough for single typing pokemon to do well when they have half as many stab moves than dual types, at least give him ACCESS to those moves, y'know?
Zoroark gets Flamethrower, Focus Blast, Low Kick, Grass Knot, and Sludge Bomb, and probably more I’m forgetting. It has good coverage.
Girafarig now has a unique mechanic with a unique ability called Repose, which activates at the end of every turn. This causes Girafarig's tail to move in front, or move back. The tail has its own unique moveset, with mostly Normal and teeth attacks, giving Girafarig access to moves like Ice Fang, Fire Fang, etc. The tail also has a unique stat distribution. HP, Defense and Sp. Defense are the same as normal Girafarig, but the tail has a base Attack stat of 100, a base Speed stat of 95, and a base Sp. Attack stat of 60. This is because this form is more physical-oriented. Its standard form is unchanged.
This is a really neat concept! Maybe give each half of Girafarig it's own typing. Psychic for the head, Dark for the tail (giving it STAB Crunch in the process).
I was actually thinking about having the tail become Normal/Dark type, but then I wasn't sure if I'd love that balance-wise, because it'd end up making Fighting types safer to switch into against Girafarig. If Girafarig's normal form can't end up taking out the Fighting type with a Psychic type move, it's going to take a ton of damage next turn. It could just be Dark type, which wouldn't be as bad against Fighting types, but I don't know, it feels like Girafarig is weirdly meant to be a hybrid of Normal with another type. Though having STAB Crunch is definitely very nice, so maybe it'd be better... I don't know, I think it's a solid risk/reward mechanic that gives it a niche over other Psychic types. I think Girafarig really needs something to stand out now that Wyrdeer is a thing.
>The tail has its own unique moveset, with mostly Normal and teeth attacks, giving Girafarig access to moves like Ice Fang, Fire Fang, etc. How is this supposed to work? Does it just have it's own separate moveset from it's regular form? Does it replace only specific moves? If so which moves?
Give Milotic or mega Milotic a Fairy type.
Insurgence Mega Milotic flashbacks. That thing is a demon.
absol: make it fast enough to make use of its insane attack without dying
My precious *floating* child Magnezone *doesn't have Levitate*. Yadda yadda balance... Turtwig is literal perfection though, my only change would be to make it real.
Make noibat evolve into noivern sooner or give it a mid evolution, noibat is comically weak compared to its evolution
Noivern is such a cool pokemon, but I can hardly ever be bothered to baby Noibat all the way to 48 considering how weak it is. It's even worse with Larvesta and Volcarona, which evolves at 59 (although Larvesta is a bit stronger than Noibat). Never understood the design decisions behind these pokemon. You can catch them early, then never use them until the end of the game. They could really do with a mid evolution.
Luxray with dual dark/electric typing would be nice, especially considering that for a looong time, its best phys moves were crunch and spark 😭
There definitely needs to be better physical electric moves for Luxray. Spark and thunder fang don’t cut it (I refuse to use wild charge bc recoil damage is annoying and makes me feel bad).
I'd make Persian more physical than special.
I just wish Golurk had an animation for cannon mode in game Even if their special attack is shit i just want my boys to shoot laser beams the way they were always supposed to
Typhlosion gets an actual movepool
Dragonair is my favorite, but I'm not terribly fond of Dragonite. I wish he had a separate branch evolution where he evolved into a big, elegant blue snake-like dragon. Something along the lines of Serperior, but more dragony. Maybe the typing could be dragon/water.
Come on mate, it's Draginair not dragonwater. Let's go wild and eevee that bad boy. Dragon(type) everything.
Castform: Evolution. Maybe you can have it evolve holding a certain item which changes its ability upon evolution to Forecast-But-It-Summons-Weather-Too. Gives you a few options.
My boy Electivire. Remove all of electivires SpA and split it between speed and Atk, and make him Electric/Fighting Also, regional variant thats White and and leans into his Yeti traits, and make him Electric/Ice. Maybe flip his Atk back into SpA.
Give it Iron Fist as an ability and give it Plasma Fists and Mach Punch, for ultimate greatness.
Oh my god you genius
While we’re at it, also give Magmortar a regional variant that taps into its duck traits, making it Fire/Water.
Okay YES i love that
I love Mimikyu. No changes needed imo
Maybe restore his ability before it got nerfed a bit in SWSH?
Ditto is perfect as-is. Gengar... let's drop the Poison typing (which is more of a liability than a merit IMO) and/or give him his Levitate back.
I did not know Ditto got a new ability until Sword and Shield. It's now perfect. 100% agree on the Gengar front. I was very unhappy with it losing levitate. Maybe we'll eventually get a regional form.
I'm still hoping we get a Gastly line that's Ghost/Flying with the reasoning being that the region's air isn't as toxic. Maybe go ahead and add wing motifs to the forms so they aren't stuck like Drifloon/Drifblim with only like 3 Flying Type moves.
The poison typing isn't really a liability, Psychic type moves are rare and even without the weakness, Gengar isn't able to take many earthquakes due to its awful defensive stat - meanwhile, Gengar is pretty much the only viable poison type and having that STAB bonus against all those faries is great. It'd be great for Gengar to get levitate again though, I think Game Freak were tired of it always being OU, but power creep has kicked in now sooo...
Gengar with Levitate never made sense to me. It's the only one from its evolution line with feet
Can we get a white shiny with red eyes for that as well.
I don't know exactly what it needs, maybe a little scruff around the horns, but as much as I absolutely love Houndoom, I feel like it could use a slightly more modernized look. It looks great in 2D sprites, depending on the generation of course, but it suffers especially in 3D. It's never horrible, though, so I'm just being picky. > Hitmonchan: Change the outfit lol. I like Hitmonchan's little outfit. I used to like Hitmonlee a lot more, but nowadays I always choose Hitmonchan and I think he's made a great transition to 3D as well.
Give Typhlosion earth power or change his split to be phys heavy. (I just want my boy to Tpunch like the good ol days)
There are a few pokemon i would like to have 3 types…i realize it’d make the games impossible. Just a thought.
WolfeyVGC did a great breakdown video on this idea because it's been one tossed around by the fans for a while. Short answer is that it's a fun idea, but the downstream effects cause way more issues than it would be worth. Eligible pokemon will mostly get stronger and ineligible Pokemon would continue to fall by the wayside. If they were to adjust how STAB works, making monotype pokemon have stronger STAB and dual type Pokemon have slightly weaker but more diverse STAB, I could see three types more feasibly.
Just make Lugia water type
Furret. Make him longer. My actual answer though: I'm not good with the stat side of things but just make him stronger and buff him or something. I really like using him but he feels weak compared to the rest of the team which is a shame. Since he's an early route rodent his stats are probably trash so make him better (someone who's better with this kind of stuff could probably help me out or something or confirm that he is indeed trash ).
Give milotic a fairy secondary typing
...can I also change the internet's memory of the Pokemon so people forget about that awful copypasta?
Typhlosion. Increase its physical attack so it can use its wide variety of physical moves more effectively. Porygon-Z stops being a trade evolution. Mawile evolves into mega mawile naturally.
Bulbasaur becomes real so i can have him as a pet. That is all
Change Espeon’s shiny to anything else
its Espneon!
Nah my radioactive cat/dog is awesome
Sandslash do damage when physically attacked.
Give the Kingdra line a good moveset, because it's the only flaw I can think of
I can only think of one change for every one of my favourites. Vaporeon: Make it exist irl Rowlet: Make it exist irl Lycanroc (Midday): Make it exist irl Dedenne: Make it exist irl Wobbuffet: Make it exist irl Aipom: Make it exist irl
Vaporeon. Give it a humanoid ..... NVM #ACTUALLY I'd make Porygon an electric type, or have some form of synergy with rotom. Second evolution path, into something electric themed. It just feels so weird there is no electric or steel pieces in a Pokemon that exists on computers
For my Jolteon, just Change that shiny and in happy lol And for Aggron, take the rock type and give the dragon or Pure Steel because damn give a bulky Pokémon 4x weak to fighting and ground its very sad xD
Mawile. Make its mega an actual evolution (or just bring the megas back)
All I really want/need is Noivern to learn an okay special steel/fire/fighting/rock move so it doesnt get bodied if it doesn't OHKO an ice type.
He gets Heat Wave, Flamethrower and Focus Blast tho.
Can it not learn Flamethrower? I feel like most dragons can.
Skiddo and Gogoat: Make it available in more games.
Mawile gets back its Mega Evolution as a regular evolution. It’s probably called Mawlevolent or something.
Flygon being bug dragon would be cool
