>>53950287Because sadly Samurott bro, H-Samurott is a direct upgrade when regional forms are meant to be a sidegrade
>Type Pure water only works out better for specific defensive Mons, whilst Sam and Hamurott are both meant to be offensive
>Stats Hamurott is just a better optimised Samurott
>Abilities Shell Armour is next to useless on an offensive Mon and isn’t even held to high standards on defensive Mons. In contrast, Sharpness is ridiculous with Hamurott’s
>Movepool Misty similar but Ceaseless Edge is one of the best attacks in the game period. Sharpness just makes it even more ridiculous. Water/Dark are good STABs too, with Hamurott barely running coverage since Sharpness Ceaseless is just ooga booga unless something is blown up better with water.
>How could this be fixed Get a Time Machine and make GameFreak realise that they should’ve made Emboar a different type so Samurott could be Water/Fighting. Then, it’s already less immediately outclassed and could possibly even get Sharpness as a new ability since it will have more attention. And then a new signature move that also does something busted.
Without time travel Shell Smash would be useful but Hamurott would still likely be better due to Ceaseless Edge.
