>>47214003Bagon's actually one of the more interesting ones. I think Bagon itself is really bad, but Shelgon is actually super viable from the moment it evolves, until it's finally a Salamence. A lot of the middle Pseudos go for average stats, which at their low stat values, make them kinda shit at everything, but Shelgon hard leans into Attack, Defence, and not much else. Shelgon actually loses Defense when it evolves into Salamence, and Shelgon, iirc, hits the hardest out of the second forms, not accounting for Zweilous Hustle, which, fuck Hustle. I WISH it got Shell Armor instead of Rock Head, Rock Head is fucking pointless, while Shell Armor would give it extra usability in a Nuzlocke, but I'm never sad if I can actually use Shelgon. Sliggoo actually isn't bad, either, it's stats are mostly just the inverse of Shelgon, but being specially defensive for the midgame tends to be less consistent, and its more reliant on TM availability to really do damage.
