I bet you would say a Cubone is actually a Charmander in disguise.

Really? I thought Dazzling Gleam was just a flash of light, like the description says.
And what do you think happens when he bares those pearly whites at you?

It's a flash of light that is SE against most monstrosity. My point is how a shadow-manipulating monster can use it.

>>17156952

You can't deny that it's sinister at heart.

Lrn2myth, fucker. Fairies are just as evil as Dark-type is, only being ridiculously camp about and not edgy.

Fairies are mischievous and malicious, Gengar is both of those, it makes perfect sense to get it.

So you'd call Hawlucha, Blaziken, Dragonite, and Goodra monstrosities? I'll give you the Dark-type because it's literally translated to something around the lines of "Evil" in Japanese, but really none of those Pokemon scream "monstrosity".

Quit trying to make things dark and edgy.

Gengar is a trickster at best.

The description for Dazzling Gleam. Nothing to do with "smiting evil" or whatever autistic headcanon OP has.

GF fucked up hard on this piece of shit. It could have been a Fire/Electric sun lizard and gotten solar beam and all that fun stuff but instead it's just a shitty glass cannon that can't KO anything and is weak to fighting for no real reason.

Oh but for some reason it gets surf.

They fucked up big time with some of these sets. Like Furfrou is literally my favorite Pokemon now, but there's nothing relating it to its dog roots in its moveset. No biting moves, no Play Rough (Which Granbull gets, and believe me, poodles can be assholes in their own way), and no good form of recovery to make it a very viable wall.

I like Gengar myself, but I just find it funny how it learns a fairy move while others more fitting pokemon that should learn it don't.

God damn it I want my Gigalith that shoots beams and electricity and shit. It should be a special attacker and learn energy related moves like Electric Type attacks and Solar Beam/Energy ball. It already learns Power Gem so it would still have a great Rock STAB.
But no, physical rock that uses Stone Miss and is most notable for blowing itself up with Explosion after a Sturdy.

It does learn solar beam. But let's just remember that Heliolisk doesn't.

Reading through this thread... really made me realize how badly Game Freak messed up with a few Pokemon's movesets.
