>>24675744the design of this thing just hits my sweetspot. love the colors, typing, small size, large ears and it's smug-ass, yet cute face.
also, i pretty much only play doubles, where it is very useful without being as obscene as it is in singles. seed flare combined with high speed and special attack can leave noticeable dents in many situations. drop is a nice bonus, but it's only a little more reliable than air slash flinches, which i find quite overrated.
judging from smogon's recent ban though, i probably was wrong. i think i can see why they did this, since if you try to rely primarily on it's haxx potential it's literally dice roll: the pokemon that can cause massive frustration for it's user and the opponent alike.
in spite of this, i can't help but be frustrated i can no longer use my favorite pokemon without feeling guilty. a part of me wishes for a nerf.
