>>35812223>Gen 5 rolls around>Blaziken gets Speed Boost, patching up its biggest flaw and sending it to ubers.>Sceptile gets Unburden, opening the door to strategies like Leaf Storm+White Herb/Physical sets with Acrobatics and outpace choice scarf revenge killers.>Swampert gets fucking Damp in the same generation they nerfed explosion while Quagsire has Water Absorb+Unaware and Gastrodon's Storm Drain gets buffed.>Hoenn starters get megas>They give the slowest and bulkiest of the three a speed boosting ability instead of an ability that helps it recover HP like Water Absorb.What the actual fuck. I get that Swampert has the highest base stat total of all starters, but this is stupid. If it wasn't for Pelipper getting buffed, Swampert would be stuck on a downward spiral because of this.
