The last one is bullshit, my Decidueye in particular has shit IVs and can still tank a STAB Shadow Ball like nobody's business, but the first two are valid. You will NEVER attack first against any good sweeper, and having a highly Physical oriented movepool, while a good one, means all those EVs in Special Attack are a complete and entire waste.

Hype. Rowlet and it's line has always had far more hype tied to it than the others, so people took it's not being as good as expected harder. There's also the general love it gets, which means people who don't think it's all that great will get a bit annoyed at people trying to shove it down their throats. Finally, it's fanbase has gotten a reputation for being rather obnoxious.

I think you mean BST instead of EV.
but no, you're right. They gave it a mixed attack stats...but then nothing that allows it to make use of it ether.
It does have some OK bulk though, but not enough to warrant a healing move on it ether.
It's real flaw is that gimmick and all, Dhelmise is just better. The ONLY boon Decidueye gets is not making contact with contact moves, so it can't be cursed body'ed, or get burned by break break or take damage from hard skin/rocky helmet, but given the starter HA's aren't obtanable ATM, it's kinda meaningless anyway.

It's qt but Dartrix and Decidueye are both retarded, the type change makes no sense and its stat distributions are not only poor, they also fit badly thematically

I feel like they designed Rowlet, panicked and made generic owl for its middle stage and then realised they needed to shoehorn Ghost typing onto it to make it fit with its counterparts

If they'd started with Decidueye and the owl spirit guardian theme, made it a bulky slow physical attacker, given it a 70BP Ghost-type priority move and worked backwards from there it might've worked out better

It's actual better than you might give it credit for. It's not an offensive powerhouse but it's defensive set is quite useful and it has decent bulk. Also grass starters are fine. Serperior and Venusaur are both miles ahead of their respective water starter and in Serp's case the fire starter too. Sceptile, decidueye and Chesnaught break even with their respective starter pals. Only Torterra and Meganium are left in the dust.

Fuck you Gamefreak, why couldn't you just have made Decidueye as powerful as Blaziken and Greninja? All you had to do was
>give it sky high offensive stats with poor defensive stats as a tradeoff
>give it an ability to help it switch in safely against all attacks
>making Spirit Shackle trapping persist even when Decidueye switches out or faints
>making Spirit Shackle trapping last eight turns instead of five
>give Spirit Shackle 100 BP
>give it a bigger movepool, especially special attacks
>give it thousand arrows
>make Sinister Arrow Raid super effective against fairy type pokemon
Why did you have to ruin everything?

It was worthless.

I'm on the third island and I'm boxing him, even though it pains me to box a starter and I've never done it before.

But he just feels like a wasted spot.
His flying moves are shit, and charjabug with Acrobatics is better.
His grass moves are shit and I never need grass when I have electric.
His ghost moves are shit, other than ghost being useless most of the time.

He's just shit.

Most people on /vp/ are legitimately autistic and will hate anything if it's popular.
Also Litten and Popplio fags became salty after Incineroar and Primarina's stats were datamined.

I had the opposite experience. I was prepared for him to suck and he surprised me at every turn. Pluck was great in Totem battles, Razor Leaf's crit rate and double battle utility was awesome, and I even got to teach it Shadow Claw just before I left for Ula'ula. It evolved as it was crushing the Electric trial at the observatory, turning into Decidueye after beating Charjabug and helping to defeat Totem Vikavolt for its first battle in its final form. I had feared that my favored starter would be Meganium levels of passive and difficult, but I was pleasantly surprised and it remained my ace.

I almost feel like they made other pokemon just so that you can replace your starter with later on. Why use Decidueye when you have Dhelmise ? Why use Incineroar when you have Marowak/Salazzle ? Why use Primarina when you have Tapu Fini ?

I like mixed attackers a lot so his stat spread is pretty fun along with move pool but fuck you can't make it semi-tanky like it is. It has to be a glass cannon.
A lot of the movepools and stats on Alola Pokemon just seem really fucking bad compared to previous gens, I don't understand what they were thinking.

And then Litten will probably be Ash's ace and Incineroar has the best personality easily while Decidueye is boring and basic.

I wish I could say Popplio ended up getting things so much better but unfortunately it and its evos aren't that good and won't get any attention.
