What starters can genuinely be considered shillmons both in design and success?
>Muh CHARIZARD
But I'm convinced this is mostly because of nostalgia. This Pokemon is weak and jobs all the time.
>Typhlosion
Most popular of the gen 2 starters. Never became a shillmon
>Blaziken
Never became a shillmon despite the obvious attempt.
>Infernape
Is a monkey so he had no hope whatsoever of becoming a shillmon
>Serperior
Is the only well liked Gen 5 starter final evo
No where NEAR becoming a Shillmon.
>Greninja
100% A Shillmon rivaling CHARIZARD
>Decidueye/Incineroar
Tried so SOOOOO hard to become a shillmon based on its design alone. But no it was overshadowed by Incineroar due to smash, and Incineroar never became a Shillmon due to how hideous its design is.
>Cinderace
100% A Shillmon rivaling Greninja
So according to this there's literally only 3 shillmon starters.
