Spidops is my favourite (fully evolved) gen 9 Pokémon that is absolutely unusable on any team.

i tried so hard man, he is so embarrassingly bad i keep trying to think of ways to fix him
apart from the obvious of not having a single stat over 100, why is he monotype? he should share bug/dark with lokix. and his signature move is really not helpful most of the time in singleplayer other then setting up for him to die and something else to kill what you lowered the speed of.

is that just it? GF had an idea to make a mon to nerf speed setups... but just fucked up so badly and ended up with this?

real question is whether or not this move ends up on any interesting mon before next gen either by event or move tutors in DLC/Gen5 remakes

Eh, at least romhacks will make him usable, whenever they start adding gen 9 mons

Increase its attack by like 30 or 40, give it secondary Dark or Fighting type, give it access to some better Dark type attacks (Knock Off please), maybe switch out Insomnia for Analytic?

yeah i know i like it
>>52582716
its like they were scared he'd be sooo good they sabotaged him to the upmost caliber
heres an idea- maybe a mon with stats like this could use a fucking busted ass move to compensate. make his speed debuff the maximum possible and prevent switching. then hes a obnoxious u-turn spammer.
>>52582744
man thatll be cool
>>52582838

>and prevent switching
That's a cool idea, but I think their intention was synergy with Steadfast. Spidops just needs more power (and coverage) so it can actually threaten a switch while faster than the opponent. It should probably drop speed at least 2 stages either way though.

yeah i think theres 2 kinda different approaches here:
approach 1 is the easier less creative way
Fix his stats
maybe give him a 2nd type

the other way is tweaking the way his gimmick works so he maybe works as intended
so the move prevents switching
and at least a 2 stage drop like you said

a bit of both would probably make him work

It's really ridiculous that they gave it the "early bug" stats in a non-linear game where you can catch much more powerful mons right away, like flamigo. The concept of early bugs in regular pokemon games is that they are stronger than the route 1-3 shitmons you're fighting when they evolve early, but fall off hard by the 3rd badge. In an open world game there is absolutely no usefulness for this kind of stat design, and there's not even the usual excuse that it was made bad because an early gym leader or villian uses it.

The excuse I can see is that they're easier to catch, while something higher level isn't guaranteed. But it's baffling how atrocious it is when there's another early route bug that's miles better in the same game.

I'm conflicted about this line cause every spider pokemon before never had 8 legs, humanoid bugs only have 4 limbs

Spidops looks like complete shit and deserved to have bad stats. Can't believe Game Freak fucked up a net-casting spider so badly.
