Since Wimpod was revealed i didn't see anyone there talking about how a new bug/water mon could be useful and not cucked by a bug/fliying evo like the final stage of Surskit did.

Now that i bringed it up, what are your thoughts about this mon? About Bug/Water mix? Is it any good? What kind of potential would have?

By that i mean ofc people talked about the new poké but i didn't see anyone talking about how that could be the "revival" of Surskit.

Nice samefag, I guess you prefer more gardevoir shitposting rather than actual discussion. Who gives a fuck about you neet regulars who devoured the info firsthand

Anyways OP I hope this fucker evolves and gets Shell Armor. Wimp Out doesnt seem too promising. Its description also worries me in that itll turn Bug/Poison.

On a maybe related note: Anyone hoping for a scorpion mon? I fucking hate Drapion. It looks retarded and I hate the typing. Its not truly a bug to me, just a mistake.

Well, that's not a great opinion but hopefully you'll feel better knowing that Drapion is Dark/Poison! Not a bug type.

Also take a closer look at that snout! at those type efectiveness Wimpod will have they are pretty good overall. Bug/Water mon seems like a good mix, also could rekt Grass types with bug moves. Too bad there are too many Grass/Poison types for him because it would do neutral damage but hey i like the typing overall.

Bug/water has been cucked for long enough, so it better be fucking OU.

Unfortunately if it keeps wimp out to its final evolution, it will probably be pretty bad, it's not a good ability, especially with stealth rock weakness.

Bug/water is good offensively though, especially if it gets some ice moves which is likely. I can't think of any pokemon that resist both bug and water, besides shedinja, and potential ice attacks are icing on top.

Neither are wharf roaches, trilobites, horseshoe crabs, tadpole shrimps or whatever else you think Wimpod is based on.

Since crits got nerfed, they aren't even that big of a deal any more. Unless you are a defense boosting pokemon.

That said, yeah shell armor is better than wimp out, which is actively detrimental. Anything outside of your control is detrimental to you, so an ability that forces you out against your control is really shitty. It's even worse if wimp out activates immediately after going under half hp, or if it's at the end of the turn. Because if wimp out activates immediately, then wimpod will get RAPED by priority, as it won't be able to attack and be forced to come in on stealth rocks

Could be good. But if it is slow and it can't get an attack of before its ability forces it out, it will take damage, randomly sent another pokemon out and finally die because of stealth rock. It will be unviable even in PU.

I remember an anon here suggesting it could be the counterpart to the Vikavolt line (as in, version exclusives).

Let us hope that anon is right, because that would mean a 3-stage bug/water and I'd know which version to pick: the one with Wimpod, I'd guess Moon going by the colors.

I am pretty convinced this is, in fact, true.

So he's definitely going to be a late level evolution/Gyrados of the gen bug.

He will evolve into a super fearless mon and learn the new move Brave Bug.

Oh come on guys, it's obvious Wimp Out will be the first stage ability. Second at most, but I've got the feeling this little fella will turn into an interesting critter with a different ability.
>>27385789
That has to be the weakest reason I could possibly fathom for them not to be version exclusives. Do you actually think they use legit game copies to showcase the new mons?

I'd say seeing them together is actually a hint towards them being version exclusives.

I have a feeling the evolution may involve the opposite effect of wimp out. Prehapes when it evolves wimpod turns into something that has its shit together and is actually terrifying. Instead of it being swapped out, it would swap the enemies pokemon out if it hits it below half health. That's my hope anyways

I don't know, I feel the two abilities aren't really comparable. Also Archeops has pretty high atk and sp.atk (considering it has both).

I hope you're not right, but in case you are, I hope GF knows what it's doing and will choose stats and moveset accordingly, making it at least an interesting gimmick.

But yeah, it's GF we're talking about.

Wimpod looks like it's going to be hard to capture given it's going to run away when %50 is gone

It's more or less telling you to Status if you want to capture it

or better yet use a quick ball

we don't even know it's capture rate yet, it's probably low as fuck

It's strong against fire assuming it uses a water move

defensively it's going to be neutral to fire since water counteracts the bug weakness

It's very possible, but we had pokemon whose description talks outside it's typing before

Noivern was advertised heavily with Boomburst despite being a Normal type move

I doubt it. Aside from Zygarde and the mythicals every pokémon in gen VI had a catch rate of 45 or higher, which is alright enough for a Quick Ball.

Keep in mind you couldnt get quick balls in x and y until the second half of lumious city

Assuming Wimpod shows up early, he's going to be hard to catch unless you status

and for all we know, the damage from Burn or Poison will force it to %50
