Since gen 3 I've never seen they fucking up a Pokemon so badly as they did with Thievul.

> Physical movepool
> Special stat distribution
> Slot 1 ability is shit
> Slot 2 is useful only with one move... that is a PHYSICAL move!

Seriously, why?
"NOT EVERY POKEMON IS SUPPOSED TO BE COMPETITIVELY GOOD" yeah I DO know that, but in Thievul's case the mess make it unviable and boring-using even in-game which is something they didn't do since Gen 4.

I feel like it's an inside joke among GF, same with Zamazenta getting an awful movepool.

It's ok as a supporter I guess. It has parting shot,foul play,snarl,u-turn,knock off,and taunt. Surely it's outclassed but if you like this Pokèmon you can go the extra mile to try and make it work. None of its abilities really complement this role though...

It really ain't that bad chief. Most mons need TRs to function in this game.

Teach it Nasty Plot/Snarl/Dark Pulse/Psychic with Throat Spray/Unburden and it's viable enough.

Anon, where have you been? This is GFs MO. One should be surprised when GF makes a Pokemon that is viable not the opposite. They're great at making shit mons and broken centralizing shit. Making viable balanced Pokemon is something they accidentally do in their spare time.

Idk if Throat Spray is actually useful since It needs Focus Sash for taking any hit and setting up Unburden + Nasty Plot, nice try tho anon.

Since Gen 4 literally every fully evolved shit is useful in-game, OP was talking about Thievul being one of the first exceptions for that.

It has always been useful if you play PU, so much that is not an Untiered mon.

I'm more surprised that the literal THIEF Pokémon doesn't have Pickpocket as an ability, this ability was like made for it.

It's more akin to Mightyena being an Early Dark-type shitmon.

If you actually use Greedent he’s really good. With gyro ball and body press with stuff cheeks and super fang with the defense berry he can wall pretty much any physical attack and one shot ferrothorn and fairies
