ITT: disappointing evolutions.

I’ll start with this ugly useless piece of shit. Rhydon is such a cool Pokémon and then it evolves into this hunchbacked giant hobbit looking asshole. The design is such shit and it only gets an additional 50 points to its bst. Fuck Rhyperior.

This bitch right here.
All I wanted was a badass boxer crab, not this dumpy looking thing.

not to mention you can only evolve it at the end of the game, and it effectively gets worse when you do.

So I really don't care if you don't like Crabominable because of its design and like Crabrawler better, I can see that.
However I won't let you run around saying that its worse than its preevo.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but Growlithe is just so much cooler. Also, Arcanine is pretty much outclassed in every way, so just keep it as a cute Growlithe if you can.

I can see where the other guy is coming from. Upon evolving it gains 3 weaknesses in exchange for alot of attack, but it isn't really capable of tanking the hits it needs to because of its typing. I haven't done calcs but its possible crabrawler with an evolite is a more defensively viable option than crabominable, which would be important given its low speed.

Sure, just like Seel gains 2 weaknesses when evolving into Dewgong in exchange for small raises in all stats which don't even reach 100 in any stat. It certainly is possible for Seel with an Eviolite to be a more defensively viable options due to its better typing.

For real though, thats not really an argument for keeping Crabrawler unevolved, Crabrawler just sucks as much as Crabominable.

I'm disappointed that Noctowl dropped elements that made Hoothoot unique, such as its relation to time and its foot hopping/retracting. It also just became a worse physical attacker instead of standing out from the normal/flying crowd by going special. I know this was before the physical/special split and Noctowl got more special attack in Gen 7, but that didn't stop them from making stuff like physical water types like Feraligatr before the split.

I like it more than beta Noctowl, but I feel like some compromise between the two that built on the time elements of Hoothoot would have been ideal.

Has GF even been able to say anything on its dex entries other than the tired "looks like kappa" crap? Not only it's not true (Golduck lacks any distinct kappa features) but it also takes away from its own identity.

I'd like crabrawler to have a solit evolution to fix this shit. the more cb wins, the higher it goes. So in return the loser of those fights should go down.

The evolution would be fighting/ground and a general shitbag that uses cheap tactics, maybe even steelworker for dark type moves.

>but why isn't it part dark type then?

Cause we already had those and the whole point of mr. Snowman is the climate relating to the height, so same goes for the other evolution

Don't have a pic cause I'm not a drawfag

I feel like that would just leave it overshadowed by Decidueye, even if the only other pokemon with that typing is Drifloon/Drifblim. Noctowl also doesn't really have an explanation for how it's ghostly(especially since Decidueye becoming ghost because its inspiration is extinct may already be pushing it). It could work since it learns Shadow Ball, but it seems like they would go to pokemon like Ninetales before Noctowl.

Psychic/flying would make more sense given how many psychic moves it learns a la Golduck, but that would just leave it outclassed in basically every regard by Sigilyph and Natu.

At this point, being a special attacking normal/flying is the best Niche it can carve, basically being a bulkier but more passive Chatot. Personally, I like Flame Orb Psycho Shift to cripple pokemon switching in to take on its worse defense stat.
