>>51454395>>51454395I'm gonna stop fixing Johtomons for a second to talk about a Hoennmon, that I think could have been a great counterpart to my favorite Johtomon (Houndoom): Mightyena.
It's Stats
>70 HP>90 Atk>70 Def>60 SpA>60 SpDef>70 SpeedSubstantially better than the mons I've already talked about, yet still not great. Here's what I came up with. I call it: Physical Houndoom.
Stats:
>75 HP>110 Atk (Matches Houndoom's SpAtk)>60 Def>20 SpAtk (not raising its BST, gotta draw from somewhere)>60 SpDef>95 Speed (Again, matches Houndoom)Mightyena gains a new Type, becoming Dark/Normal, this gives it a 2nd immunity (like Flash Fire Houndoom), and makes it not worthless in its debut Gen (pre Physical/Special Split)
For abilities, I'd actually take Quick Feet away, thereby guaranteeing any R/S/E or OR/AS player a guaranteed Intimidate user, first go.
Mightyena's movepool, especially by level-up, is quite shallow.
I say we give it:
>Crunch a bit earlier than level 47, let's go with 26>Thunder Fang>Fire Fang>Ice Fang>Poison Fang>Dig so you don't have to burn a TMRoute 1 Pokémon can be powerful too. I mean, look at Staraptor.
>>51455082Yeah, I had a poor choice in pics.
>>51455101>Eviolite SyndromeAhh, that scared me, which is why I actually cut its Special Defense (45>20)
On your point about Dragon typing, I chose that for a few reasons.
>Onix looks badass enough to be a dragon>Especially before Gen 6, Dragon Typing was pretty much universally a buff>The Kanto dex had 1 (one) Dragon Pokémon. Dragonite's best stat is Attack, so a Special Attacking Dragon would be cool to see. (If memory serves me right, no fully-evolved Dragon Type had more Special Attack than Physical until Goodra, they were equal at best)About your point on snake/serpent Pokémon, I WOULD disagree with you, but shit like Gyarados and Arbok are waaaaaaaaay to easy to get (especially Gyarados, and need buffs a lot less than Onix does (again, especially Gyarados).
