>>50209459atrocious, especially in gen 3
put him on my sapphire team expecting a glass cannon, instead got a fucking napkin
no grass stab in level-up beyond absorb until level 40 (and half the time the cacnea you find in the wild don't have it so you need a heart scale), the only dark move it can learn is faint attack (can't even learn shadow ball or something to make up for it), horrible defenses (expected) and even worse speed (not) meaning it'll die before it does anything
it doesn't even have rough skin or some shit to compensate it just dies in a turn or two and does maybe 1/8 of a health bar at best
using this thing genuinely made me like it less ;-;
