Monster and Dragon gives Skull Bash, Dragon Rage (lol), Zen Headbutt, Iron Head, Leaf Blade, Head Smash, Dragon Dance (yeah right), and Dragon Rush off the top of my head and I thought that that seemed to fit pretty well as well as fitting with the art.I'm thinking Monster and Dragon for Egg Groups as well. What do you guys think?
I'd say let movepool decide what groups it needs to fall into to get moves yet not certain combinations.
Funny.... I remember hearing similar things about Scylant when he was first created. People hated that things ability + movepool as well...ok the name of the project is called "Create A Pokemon" not "Create A Pokemon as close to Uber as You Possibly Can". Just because it could get a special intimidate doesn't mean it should, this thing could get battle armor and will still see plenty of use why do we have to go over the top. Special initimidate can come in a later project and not on something that really doesn't need it, stop blowing your load in one go.
Huge Power isn't so bad when it's going to be using recoil moves like Wood Hammer, Flare Blitz, Head Smash, etc. I don't think kamikazing yourself to destroy your counters isn't the best idea.No Huge Power, we don't want this having Tyranitar-level attack.
No way in hell this thing should get Head Smash. That would give it:I don't see how Sniper is a good ability. I seriously think Rock Head is seeing as 1, it allows the use of Head Smash and Flare Blitz which it the chance to hit back most of it's counters. But maybe eliminate Head Smash, they make place a broken tag on Leonin.
It's effected by weather.Plus if we gave it morning sun or Synthesis it could just recover off the damage, eliminating the "suicide" aspect of those moves...
edit: Well wait... is Synthesis affected by weather like Morning Sun?
Even so, without Rock Head I don't see physical ever being used. Rock Head would just make it's way onto a mixed set or something to take out fliers.If it is then perhaps it wouldn't be as broken... still I agree with Dane that giving it Head Smash might be too much.
So you're arguing that we can give a near leafless Pokemon Chlorophyll because Shiftry has it, but don't want it to have Rock Head because it's not a rock type Pokemon, despite Marowak, Steelix, and Bagon/Shellgon having it? Not to mention Sudowoodo is essentially a Tree, and has Rock Head, so there's wood precedent there.2.Rock Head?They are only two non rock pokes(Ok i lied Steelix,marowak, Aggron get it too but you will see my point) that get rock head Bagon and Shellgon.The back story on Bagon head that it is hard as a Rock.You could argument for wooden armor on its head being as hard rock but i think we are better off leaving rock head on Rock types.
No way in hell this thing should get Head Smash. That would give it:
180BP Fire
180BP Grass
150BP Rock
That covers nearly everything except the rare exception like Heatran, and hits them all Super Effective.
Yeah, 95BP (142 if one is STAB'd) is comparable to 150-180BP.God forbid it be able to hit things with SE hits. No one complains about boltbeam. Why should this be any different. :/
You didn't read my post i said battle armor and Magma armor are the best choices.So you're arguing that we can give a near leafless Pokemon Chlorophyll because Shiftry has it, but don't want it to have Rock Head because it's not a rock type Pokemon, despite Marowak, Steelix, and Bagon/Shellgon having it?

I read it. You still argued for it, even if it wasn't your primary choice.You didn't read my post i said battle armor and Magma armor are the best choices.
Battle Armor is a near given. Unfortunately the only other offensive ability we could give this is Sniper, which sucks since neither Blaze Kick nor Leaf Blade work on it. If we made some custom special high crit ratio moves though...They are better traits for this poke than rock head and chlorophyll based on the art.
