>>56275343>>56275402Pictured is the learnset for mawile in gen 3. Remember that dark attacks are all special, and mawile on that front is a single stage pokemon with weaker special attacks than starter pokemon. Tell me, what do these games gain by making like 30% of all pokemon completely unusable as opposed to merely bad? What are you supposed to do with this? Spend a teamslot, a turn switching and two more turns just to get an okay defense boost onto a real pokemon? And that’s JUST if you’re desperate for this Pokemon to do anything at all. God help you if you want to come up with the tens of water and electric types competing against eachother with the exact same movepool or however many johto pokemon that just learn swift and a 50 power stab. I’m begging you, because I’ve sat on this image for years trying to imagine why. Give me a single valid reason to make a third of every dex so limp and painful to use.
