>>28004301>good because he's an HM slaveHe's also far better in combat than Fearow. He does get outclassed by Dodrio later, but so does Fearow, and for the time he and Fearow can be used, he's better. Also, him and MARC cover all the important HMs.
>trading Nidorina for Nidoran. Literally the same PokemonMedium slow and trade boosted means this thing levels at an insane rate. Having two Nidoqueens is not a problem. Also, Nidoran male is not Nidoran female, and is in fact way better for the early game so it's perfect to trade for SPOT(NidoranF) once decent TMs show up. And TERRY can be easily picked up after you hit the Safari Zone and catch Level 31-33 Nidorinos.
I said they were worth trading for for in-game purposes. These two Nidoqueens have insane coverage between themselves and level faster than any mon in the game. They can abuse X Acc Horn Drill AND Fissure on top of it.
>using cut to get mr mime, catching an Abe's and not evolving itA. Abra is underleveled and should barely be evolving at this time.
B. Mime levels faster.
C. Mime is way less frail due to high speed and Barrier
D. Mime has better Coverage due to Thunderbolt
>good because HM'sBest HM slave in the game for a mon you can easily fish up in droves? Yeah, he's good for IN-GAME purposes.
>if you have a Raichu odds are you've trained it up already with TM's if you're willing to spend money on a stoneAgreed, which is why it's one of the weaker trades. With that said, there is both a Thunder and Thunderbolt TM, and you can let Doris have one of the two if you go for the trade.
>tangela, good. You're trading away spore for thisNo, you trade away VENONAT
>you already need a water type to get to Cinnabar, but this isn't too badYeah, but very few Water types have Ice moves upon level up and Horn Drill as well as boosted Exp.
So nah, there's no outright bad trade in RB outside possibly DORIS the Electrode
