>>17456719>except for ferrothorn, swalot and volcanion>Ferrothorn That one has nothing to do with smogonfaggotry or whatnot. The reason is kinda funny, actually:
>First gen ever, stage of an impressionable little kid: -Wooooow! Magneton looks sooo cool being made out of living electric thingies! But..... it would be sooo cool to have a Magneton look-alike, but made out of MECHANICAL gizmos!
And that was when the problem started to build up entire forever before Unova: I imagined that mechanical-mon to be quite compact in its final stage, like the insides of the clock when they are held together. Therefore, Klingklang wasn't just cut for this niche - but Ferrothorn was.
If only its spiky plates could rotate while it is walking on its pod legs....
