It's really weird. Why did they bother making him evolve any point after level 20 if the area you have to be in for him to evolve isn't until waaaaaay after that.

They did this with other shit too. Like Marowak evolves at 28 but Shadow Bone is 27 so you never get a ghost move for it until after the game.

Why would you even bother with that? Considering its HA the only perk Special has over Physical is being pseudo-immune to burns.

Using a pokemon's lower attack stat has been historically good. Special Kyurem-B is the prime example. Special Kommo-o is another. Tyraniboah in gen 3 was another. It also makes for great lures and surprises.

Clearly the Tyranitar is physical, right? Switch in something to resist the dark/rock and bam, ice beam.

The move relearner only relearns moves that you tried to learn but got rid of. If you missed the level in the first place you can't relearn it.

This gen's move relearner lets your pokemon learn moves it might've learned twenty levels ago or twenty levels from now, by some fucking sorcery.

I could take a level 1 meowth right now to the move 're'learner and have it learn dark pulse. Meowth doesn't fucking learn that normally until level fucking 55.

Shit's retarded. And I love it

There's tons of counter productive move learning this gen, and i'm not sure if it's supposed to increase difficulty or what, but it just slows things down. Alolan Marrowak not getting it's signature move till you reach the move relearner, alolan raichu not even learning the move that triggers it's ability naturally (egg move) and worst of all, Sandygast doesn't learn it's signature move, which is desperately needs to function till level 50. And that's if you choose to keep it from evolving. Did they just not want people to use these mons till post game?

It's supposed to be a magnetic area because Nosepass and Magneton also evolve there, but as far as I can tell there's nothing suggesting that it is.

And at least Magneton is actually useful for the same things Magnezone is. If your Charjabug was useful at all, then it won't be good as a Vikavolt without rewriting its moves, EVs and might have a bad nature too.

Hmm. Maybe I'll keep him with me for future runs then. I guess he's one of those Pokemon who will need to NOT be at a level disadvantage to be useful, whereas the rest of my team could manage it. Minior was the only one who had to 'sweep' multiple Pokemon in battles and could actually do it until an ice-sharder was switched in.

Had a different experience, practically solo'd flying elite 4 with a little Lycanroc at the beginning, and one shotted Kukui's Ninetales (flash cannon), Braviary (Thunderbolt), and took out Primarina too (not in one shot). At level 55-57. I really like Vikavolt, obviously a shame with the whole Attack/Speed problem but it worked for me.
