I want to tie the people who proposed and approved this to a chair and refuse to feed them until they explain WHY this happened.

"Hahahaha... ...I don't really know." is not an answer.

>attack speed is not movement speed XDDDDD

Idiots are gonna say this because it has a high special attack and needs to charge its moves or something.
But what if I fucking use a physical move? Speed's still gonna be shitty ass 43.

Game Freak just wanted to make a slow meta centered around Trick Room and they probably didn't have enough new Pokémon to give all of them the most suitable stats, so Vikavolt happened to be chosen as the slow, strong Special Attacker, even though it clearly doesn't look like either of those things.

Charjabug is the region's early bug, its already as strong as things like Buttetfree. Vokavolt happens to evolve from it but it's the region's Pinsir/Heracross

It really needed a priority move or something.

That's an interesting point of view, but vikavolt is a lot cooler than charjabug design-wise. I wish I could use a vikavolt immediately.

Because insane special attack with decent defenses comes at a price faggot. Not everything has to be a Smogon approved "class" archetype.

If GF wanted a meta centered around trick room they would have made a auto trick room setter and an extender.

But Heracross had some speed and didn't evolve in Tohjo Falls

Babying it until the E4's doorstep is a price high enough,it didn't need to have gimped speed.

It's GF we're talking about.if any of those guys could go above 1300 in the ladder(even in VGC) it would be a miracle.

Because the Vic Viper comes with low speed until you upgrade.

Signature move: Extreme Speed but an Electric-type Special move

Did I fix it?

Quoted By:

29% of its stats were pumped into special attack already, and they went too far in trying to balance that out with a low speed.

As for lore justification, you can argue that max speed=/=battle speed. It's the difference between someone doing a 100m run and someone punching before someone else can.
