My vote is for the Flying type mainly because I feel that we should have either a mono-Flying type or a Flying/Fighting type pokemon.
Don't really feel like working on a movepool until we're sure whether or not the Panda will win. Hard crafting a precisely themed movepool, and I don't like half assing things like that.I might be biased, but i still like the idea of 110/90/110/90/110/40. It can do Mixed wall, AND counter Swampy. I don't like the idea of the lower defences because it dosen't share Swampert's Resistances. I'd be interested in what you came up for with a movepool for that spread.
Sunflora: Aww.....what a wonderful day. The sun, the sunlight. Life is grand =DIt could be a Sunflora that absorbed enough heat that it's petals caught fire
Which is the disadvantage with my Spread.Don't really feel like working on a movepool until we're sure whether or not the Panda will win. Hard crafting a precisely themed movepool, and I don't like half assing things like that.
Also, Swampert's resistances aren't that great.
x2 Fire, x2 Poison, x2 Rock, x2 Steel
vs
x4 Grass, x2 Electric, x2 Steel
The only one work really noting is the Rock resistance. Also, your spread is 550 BST vs Swampert's 535, so it's naturally going to be tougher. I really think any Fire type is going to need at least 60 speed, in order to keep up with Swampert, Tyranitar, etc.
Sunflower pokemon are GAY. And you can't really state anything as there is no 100% breloom counter atm cause nothing likes the combo of Spore, Seed Bomb, sub and FP. And there are more random things than pandas.Fishin said:No true Breloom counter is weak to Rock AND neutral to Fighting >_>
I don't like the panda idea too much tbh, Grass type Pokemon tend to be actual plants or part plant themselves (Ludicolo, Venusaur, etc) and a Panda doesn't seem like it would fit into that mold well. Not to mention that combining Fire with that seems like putting too many things onto the same Pokemon. If we do go fire/grass, I'm still pulling for a sunflower Pokemon. It could be a Sunflora that absorbed enough heat that it's petals caught fire (flash fire?), or something along those lines. Or a pepper, if we can make that work.
True, but type and ability-wise our Pokemon will be basically on the same level of Breloom counter as Noctowl. It's hard to call anything a counter to Breloom when it risks taking a 225 bp attack from 130 base attack neutrally unless it's very, very bulky. Most things that people use as counters to Breloom (Celebi, Weezing, Cress) are resistant to fighting and neutral to rock.And you can't really state anything as there is no 100% breloom counter atm cause nothing likes the combo of Spore, Seed Bomb, sub and FP. And there are more random things than pandas.
Alright, since you're so eager I might as well get those poll ASAP, but first the secondary type poll because we have to stick with the guildline.Also i'm only doing this because G_T's keeping this open for some reason =\
Fire has two big enemies water and ground. Water is the most common type in the game. Earthquake is probably the most common physical attack in the game. What role can a new fire type fill it can fill role of the only fire type that doesn't get raped water or ground(yes I am ignoring moltres and charizard).Also I think they have been two attempts on defensive fire type I think Heatran and Torkoal. Torkoal failed miserably at being a defensive type and Heatran success comes more from attacking and versatility than being a defensive build.There are indeed limitless possibilities for a fire type, for that matter, any type. I just cannot see what role this new fire type will be fufilling until at least the secondary type. What i can see happening is a totally new role if people put their heads together; Breaking outside the mold of Sweeper/Wall/Annoyer would be good. What i'm trying to imply is that within the Sweeper/Wall/Annoyer mold I cannot see what role this fire type will be fufilling That will Actually work and has not already been filled.
