>>51957063I mean, it seems that they TRIED to make it good. You dont just accidentally give something legendary-tier offensive stats. It's not like it's just a pile of low stats like Theivul or something, it just has everything placed so terribly that it mogs the fuck out of anything it was trying to do.
I dont think they accidentally swapped the values, but it sure as fuck feels like they did.
>>51957052Yeah, good point. I dont play lower tiers so that didnt come to mind, but yeah its like the perfect fucking combination of high attack, low hp/def, and being weak to Dark.
Also, totally forgot to mention how its abilities both are entirely anti-synergetic with its stats. Again, 2 abilities that rely on being able to soak physical moves, that just fucking eat shit and die immediately. Weak Armor, which wont ever work due to A. Dying immediately to any physical attacker stronger than Weedle, and B. Being way too slow to take advantage of a speed boost even at max investment.
Then you've got Perish Body, which SOUNDS cool on paper but will never work due to A. Dying immediately to any physical attacker stronger than Weedle, and B. Perish Song needing Mean Look to work alongside it, which it doesn't have.
Again, seemingly designed to work around Strength Sap, (Sap the foe to buff your own defenses to stall then activate Perish body and stall more) but it needs to not die (which it will), Mean Look (which it doesnt), and worst yet, a lot of prediction and steps when you could just aim for 2HKO or something like a normal Pokemon would do, especially when you have 145 fuggin SpAtk.
