Why dont you use salazzle more?
That unique typing and ability.
Easy on the eyes.
Fast and hits very hard specially.
Give it a focus sash or a life orb. And its great.

I'm still disappointed that it didn't get something more gender-neutral.

Not a valid complaint in the slightest.
You wanted vespiquin to be more gender neutral too?

-Too slow
-Too frail
-Ability is useless on such a fragile Pokemon
-No good coverage outside of STAB
-Can't even set up, gets dinkled on by priority even if you hang on with sash
-stinky lizer

A timid set put her at 366 speed.
Whats she slowed compared too?
Even faster than scarfed garchomp

252 SpA Life Orb Salazzle Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 354-416 (98.8 - 116.2%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Tapu Koko, Greninja, Healthy meta bug, scarf lando-t, scarf lele, Scarfed garchomp, anything with Dragon Dance, Dugtrio. Those are just the common threats.

Im just saying you hear all the time around here that celesteela is a problem.
Salzzle owns any steel type and what the fuck are you saying tapu koko for? Did you forget that salzzle has poison type attacks. Yeah sure it isnt as bulky as alolan muk you can just switch into it. And greninja isnt capable of being handled by most pokemon let alone a fire type.

Celesteela has heavily fallen out of favor, whereas everything I've mentioned is a current threat. Plus, Tapu Koko one-shots it and even if you have a sash and the opponent somehow doesn't have stealth rocks/spikes, that doesn't change the fact that all Salazzle was able to do was take out a single mon. More Pokemon can do its job far better, it's just not a good Pokemon in OU. I'm sure it's decent in UU, though.

It really only gets outspeed by the healthy meta bug that of which you listed and would be beaten by dugtrio and pheromosa if you werent running focus sash.

What on earth are you talking about? Scarf increases speed by 50%, everything I mentioned outspeeds it unless it has a scarf of its own. I don't know why you said it outspeeds scarfed garchomp before, are you assuming they're just not running any speed EVs and a detrimental/neutral nature?

Herein lyes the problem. You smogon guys only look at 6v6.
Salazzle was made for 3v3 battle spots.
Little to no stealth rocks to be found. Can set up all it wants with nasty plot and goes unchecked.
>>31858329
So garchomp has closer to 600 speed if its scarfed?

>600 speed

When does Salazzle have 600 speed? You said Salazzle has 366 speed when timid, whereas a scarfed garchomp with 252 Speed EVs and an adamant nature will have 454 speed. The rest of the Pokemon I mentioned have similar, much higher speeds than a sashed Salazzle. If you're talking about Scarfed Salazzle, yes, it does outspeed everything else.

Hey, I'm just saying why I personally don't use Salazzle more, which is the purpose of the thread. I don't like it, because it's blatant waifu bait and that's not my jam.

Oh my bad this whole time i figured choice scarf doubled speed by 2 not 1.5 yeah it would be checked by some of the more cancerous pokemon in Ou. But she still has her uses. In of being a great nuke.
>>31858366

I do, I just don't like THIS one. Why is that so hard for you to understand? I don't have to like the same Pokemon as you.

Salandit?
It's just a sneaky-looking lizard, and then suddenly it becomes fucking Jessica Rabbit.

At least the other waifumons start off somewhat cute and girly.

Something like Purugly or Bruxish, even cute stuff like Ribombee isn't so overtly appealing to furfags. I think what he means is it's massive furry/fetish bait, just like Tsareena is fetish bait and Lopunny/Gardevoir are furry bait.

Not him, but I'm a massive pokefucker and even I don't like it. I hate the shitty bedroom eyes and the painful, forced sexuality of it in appearance, lore, etc. It kinda makes me cringe.

So you'd have rather have had it be more manly i understand now. The same way i feel about poplio to primarina you feel about salandit to salazzle.
This is really gen 7s fault for not thinking about making everything gender neutal or just outright manly.
>>31858447
You shouldn't take other peoples dirty minds into consideration for the appeal of a pokemon.

I would normally agree, but when attempting to appeal to people like that influences the Pokemon's design as heavily as it did with Salazzle, it's past the point where it's as easy as ignoring the shitty fanbase, because the fanbase wound up ruining the Pokemon's design.
