So just been looking at how completely unbalanced Pounther's stats are. Just for comparison, here are some other 'mons in the 290 stat range-
>Meowth: 40/45/35/40/40/90 (shitty except for speed)
>Pineco: 50/65/90/35/35/15 (bulky, but still better at special attacking. Low speed, but in general, this can lead to it being 1shot before it can do anything)
>Trapinch: 45/100/45/45/45/10 (high attack, but shit defenses/speed. Again, can be 1shot easily before it can do anything)
>Spheal: 70/40/50/55/50/25 (shit speed. Noticing a pattern?)
>Bonsly: 50/80/95/10/45/10 (this is about as close as we've gotten to Pounther's stats but again...shit speed.)
>Gothita: 45/30/50/55/65/45 (Balanced but...this little shit can Giga Impact harder than Pounther can Hyper Beam.)
>Solosis: 45/30/40/105/50/20 (Again, shit speed)
Basically, if something has incredibly imbalanced stats, it's compensated by lowering something that all mons arguably need, that being speed. Since Pounther is able to negate that weakness, he's turning himself into a mega-glass cannon and that's just retarded.
So I offer a small tweak. He doesn't lose his niche, but he's at least marginally more balanced.
