Ironbound

I don't have much doubles experience, but I do know that protect is everywhere and spread moves are preferred. Redirection with Rage Powder and Follow Me are also used. I did say that EQ would be no.11, since it is omnipresent and imoactful on every tier (impactful enough to warrant the ability Levitate and the item Air Balloon solely to check it). However, is still no. 11, and therefore gets a (very) honourable mention. Light Screen and Reflect should get a mention too, I suppose, though they're not common enough to feature in this list. This is a list of the most prevalent and widespread moves across tiers, not a list of every single strategy used.

I don't deny that Priority and Rapid Spin are important, however, as I have already stated above, I cannot include priority moves since they are too wide a bracket with too different a range of effects (typings, power, etc etc. Unlike the recovery moves that I bunched together, these things do not all have nearly the exact same effect to include in one slot, and none of them are individually so common AND widespread across tiers to fetch a spot.) And I do not add Rapid Spin primarily because the second condition is not fulfilled by it: distribution. Unlike Defog, which is available to nearly every flying type and a large range of non-flying types across tiers, Rapid Spin is exclusive to only a small number of users throughout the tiers. It's the same logic as, say, Bullet Punch. No doubt that BP is the reason why Scizor has so much usage, just as RS is a key factor behind Starmie's, but simply because a move is greatly abused by one or a few Pokemon (no matter how common that Pokemon, and consequently that move, is in any given tier) it cannot sit in this list, since it is not widespread. Rapid Do N certainly does get an honourable mention, though. And I think protect is very important, across tiers.

Golduck is most certainly more mammalian than avian. It can pass for a platypus.And as for salamanders, we have a shit ton of them: Charmander, the Mudkip family, Quagsire, even Salamence if you accept the fact that it has gill-like extentions on its face and can learn Hydro Pump. Please, no more salamanders. They're almost as overdone as frogs and cats and snakes. And if by King Crab you mean the Horseshoe Crab, then I'm sure Kabuto and Kabutops can be considered.

I don't have any issues in repeating this a gazillion times. And of course... ALL HAIL MAGNEZONE

Thereby resulting in an assault from an army of Starmie...(heh that rhymes)

Numel.

You mean the Divided-Upper-Lip-Loli? Sure, wynaut.

Yeah, specify what your problem is. In any case, there's no problem that can't be solved with enough Magnezones.

You and I both wish, buddy, you and I both wish. So far the only person in Reborn who has a member of that line is Miss Mass Murderess, and she's the worst person to have it in all fairness. You can look at the 'Obtainable Pokemon' link on the left to see what you can get as of now.

Oh, I know what flavour Micky likes: it's the Salty Flavour, because he's so salty about not being able to appreciate the heaven of mangoes. Right, Micky?

DEBOJIT! What is this sorcery!? How can you call yourself Indian and NOT prefer mango ice cream over all else!? Explain yourself.

Nah, it's me. I see juu, though.

You shall not have the opportunity, vile cur. Wartortle.

Happy birthday, Nova! Have a great year ahead.

No, the life I've got is enough. Also you are talking about Harry Potter. My interest has declined by about 63.701%. What is your favourite breed of dog?

A crane evolving from a woodpecker? I... nvm. If an octopus can evolve from a remora, then anything is possible.

Yeah, I know the normal mechanism, I was just wondering if they're definitely going to have vocal cords in their ears. Seems to be true. Also the inspiration might also be the crowd control noise amplifiers, which focus sounds towards groups to dissuade rioting

I'll pick Confused. Also Flinched, because I'm cringing from looking at this and imagining myself suffering from any of 'em. EDIT: no longer confused after you made the inclusion. It's just as terrible, and I'm not going to choose what cripples me. I'm now even more devoutly thankful that I have a healthy mind in a healthy body. I'm still cringing from this though.

*takes away tax dues from Micky* Enjoy, Micky!

Yeah, we need more water birds. Crane, flamingo, heron, goose, ibis, spoonbill, stork, so many potentially amazing designs. Imagine a spoonbill Pokemon, which becomes a shoebill! Or a large, pink, flamboyant flamingo. We also need a vibrant Psychic/Flying peacock with Quiver Dance!

You can join the club and make your own discussion thread too, though there's already a lot covered under the existing three. Anyways, I'd like to ask how on earth does Noivern work? It is said in the Dex that it fires sonic booms from its ears,, not its mouth, like bats normally should. So what, are its ears actually vocal organs as well? Or is the Dex just stupid because it's written by ten year olds?

But zigzagoon and linoone... And smaug, from what I know of the book (I never watch movies of books I've read, that's akin to eating predigested food, imo) is rather serpentine, despite having wings and four feet. So it's more of a wyrm of some kind (it's even called that in a few instances) so idk. Salamence is the archetypal European Dragon, though (well, at least before it becomes a boomerang-UFO...) Anyways, how about a Labrador retriever? I want the biggest, softest, goofiest and friendliest dog Pokémon of all time. And it should be a competitive beast because of too much goofiness.
