Yet another Pokémon with good stats and typing but an insanely crippling ability. Why do they have such an hard on for making these?

It makes him more interesting to use, at least in the main game. Someday he'll get an insane Mega no doubt, with a different ability.

I have no clue. I think they just throw things at a wall until something sticks. At least it's not Yu-Gi-Oh, where they have no control over anything anymore.

>>30825370
The differently named ability will have the same effect. :^)

because if it didn't have that ability it would just have shittier stats.

If you don't like the ability use something else.

That didn't stop Gyaradoes and Milotic from being nearly flawless pokemon. Golisopod clearly recycled that thematic vibe(pathetic pre evolution --> Amazing evolution that fixes it's pre evo's flaws). It's still a wimp, but a less cowardly one instead.

His only problem is literally stealth rock. He is supposed to be a cleaner that goes in and out all the time dishing out ridiculous priority damage so his ability is pretty good if you know how to use it. But that just doesn't work when the meta is filled with stealth rock.

It's almost like Gamefreak doesn't balance around smogon, and stealth rock has never been a major threat on battle spot.

New ability, Warrior's Pride: The pokemon, being so confident in its power, retreats in shame if its HP gets below half

Then use Gyarados or Milotic. What's the point of getting the same thing over and over again?

>rocks still isnt banned
koffing claim to want to decentralize the meta, yet a team without rocks and a way to deal with them is severely handicapped in current meta, resultig in each team needing a setter + spinner or fogger, and foggers can even be self-harming

delet them already

Nah. The change from Wimpod to Goliosopod is that it goes from openly being a wimp to pretending that it's strategy. It has to be something where he still tries to look cool while running away, like:

Mindful Master: The pokemon gives its teammates a chance to share the glory by switching out when its HP hits below 50%.

Switch Shields Down and Emergency Exit: the former now activates immediately after dropping below 50% and the latter now activates at the end of the turn (or even better for Doubles, at the end of Golisopod's turn).
