>>46305899A Shillmon is Pokémon that gets privilege above others especially when its to the detriment of others Pokemon. A true Shillmon is had to define since each situation is somewhat different but Shillderace leaps far past it.
Two Amazing Signature Moves when most Pokémon don't even get one.
Court Change which is amazing for utility and directly counters Stealth Rock, the most over-centralizing move in the game.
Pyro Ball is which Flare Blitz without recoil or contact.
Its stat spread is insanely optimized, letting it focus on Fast Physical Offense while still having some bulk to take hits when it needs to.
Its ability is a reskinned-Protean, one of the best abilities in the entire game.
Extremely diverse movepool full of moves that play to its strengths (it even learns Gunk Shot despite that move having nothing to do rabbits or soccer).
The previous points make it one of the best users of the shiny new Dynamax mechanic.
The stadium set up of Galar is tailor-made for the Scorbunny line.
Inteleon, the Pokémon that should logically counter it, is a shitmon with no moves,. It even got cucked out of a Protean-Like ability' even though that would fit a chameleon-spy perfect and give it value as a Pokemon
Typhlosion was removed from the franchise forever so that Shillderace could be the only pure Fire type
The Galar Stadium set up was tailormade for Shillderace
It has the most prominent place in the starter introduction scene
Gets the most coveted role in the anime aside from Pikachu.
Humanoid design to appeal to the Zoomzooms and Coomcooms.
Shillderace is the biggest shill since Shillcario. Greninja would be one as well but, it was removed from the franchise; a true shillmon would never be culled from any game.
