>>46529937I wouldn't call Basculin dex filler, it's pretty usable. Decent speed and attack stats and an ok movepool.
>>46530200Most of the birds and rodents can carry their fair share in the main game, I actually did runs with all of them up to Gen V and the only one that was truly useless to me was Noctowl. I like mons like Fearow and Linoone because generally stuff that's good enough for competitive is boring to use in the main game, I mean I know it's always gonna be easy but I wanna do a little bit more than just spam the A button and sweep.
>>46529954I think they're good ideas, just poorly distributed. When you can find them early game, supposing you like their evolutions, they're worthwhile. Electabuzz or Magmar too soon would overpower you too much, but Elekid and Magby wouldn't. Problem is, you don't really ever encounter Elekid and Magby early outside of one of two generations iirc.
>>46529999Yeah I can't defend this.
