>>51454395One of the Pokémon done the dirtiest was Magcargo (a lot of Johtomons got screwed, come to think of it). Like Parasect, 2 4x weaknesses, and no speed to counterbalance it.
However, I propose a different way to help out the molten snail. Bulk, as well as an ability buff. He's a snail, so speed is thematically stupid.
Magcargo's default stats:
>60 HP>50 Atk>120 Def>90 SpAtk>80 SpDef>30 Speed>430 TotalUnlike the mons above, I think Magcargo's BST needs a buff, I'd say up from 430 to 500 would more than suffice:
New Stats:
>140 HP>85 Atk>90 Def>90 SpAtk>90 SpDef>5 Speed (the snail is the slowest animal on Earth after all)These stats are to give Magcargo the ability to take a hit much better, and beef up its STAB Rock Slide.
Magma Armor is unique to Magcargo and Camerupt, so buffing it won't make too many mons unbalanced. I propose this
>Immunity to Water-Type Attacks, if hit by a Water move, this Pokémon's Fire-Type moves increase in Power (like Flash Fire)For moves, to give the snail a bit more coverage, its access to Poison and Psychic moves (Smog and Screens respectively) should be expanded.
>Sludge>Sludge Bomb>Confusion>Psywave>PsybeamWith these changes, Magcargo could honestly be a beast...unless it gets hit by Earthquake, but every Pokémon should have a counter IMO.
>>51454762I like it, the Santa bird putting out "Presents" (Hazards) is a great take on Delibird's theme. Hell, Present should, instead of sometimes healing the opponent, sometimes put a random entry hazard down instead.
