>>47144894I mean they mention Clamperl because they boost it's stats. It is extremely reasonable to think that's it's literal purpose, nevermind not wanting to trade away a one off item like it, how people were supposed to figure this shit out who knows.
>>47144923Doubt it, from what I can tell it's in game appaerences are Hoenn, where it's basically at the endgame, and Kalos, where it's in an absolutely massive Pokédex and requires backtracking after getting a rod to fish up. Combine that with completely underwelming performance and the annoyance of getting the evolution item and trade evolving and you've got one of the most unappealing packages in all Pokémon.
Also you ever realise how fucking weird Huntails stats are? No part of that looks like Defense is it's best stat.
