I would've kept my pompom one but since it learns no electric type moves it bugged the fuck out of me. Sad, it was modest and did really well in trials but I needed someone with good electric moves.

I want to use Arcanine but Growlithe is such a damn wimp at level 34, it gets bodied by everything. What's a better fire pokemon I could train instead?

Ribombee is my choice, it's a monster even when severely underleveled

Fucking Ribombee was the MVP of my blind Nuzlocke.
Fucker had a horrible nature, yet it still outsped everything and one-shotted Lusamine's entire team after getting off 4 Quiver Dances in a row.

Dunno for sure if that was bad or not, but I'd guess that you'd want a Ribombee with more Speed or Special Attack rather than focusing on Defense.

Suggestion: drop liquidation for aqua jet. Much less power, but the priority makes up for your lack of speed, and even a 40 power move is nothing to sneeze at when it's got STAB and comes from Golisopod's huge attack.

Yeah i thought about that. The first Wim i caught was Adamant so I just ran with it. He is really tanky as well and I haven't run into too many occasions where I was getting knocked to half with one hit so Liquidation was still effective. Once the meta settles Im going to breed one for Aqua Jet and run it in a Rain Dance team.

I was just about to create a thread about Mimikyu.
I'm trying to catch Buzzwole in a matching ball because of >balltism, but it always ended up sweeping my team.
Caught this little thing and it walls THE FUCK out of Buzzswole, and it's only in the 30s. Now I can chuck Luxury Balls in peace.
