>>38533234Compared to the other starters it needs a lot more work to be worth a party slot. It gets early reflect and poison powder which is nice, but besides grass and normal offensive moves (unless you want to use your one time EQ TM on an ingame starter), it will be mediocre at best offensively with average offensive stats. Depends if you want to bother having a support pokemon ingame when it's not really necessary.
It's also only truly useful against chuck. It's good to pick for a more challenging run but if you dont pick it you're probably better off.
