>>57545994There are very simple ways to fixing Delphox, fully capitalizing on it's status as a witch/oracle Pokemon and giving it elemental coverage like Thunderbolt and even possibly Ice Beam and also giving it a new hidden ability in Dazzling or Magic Guard, Dazzling works surprisingly well on Delphox both thematically and mechanically because now a lot of mons that heavily rely on priority can't do shit against it, Delphox goes from fearing Kingambit to demolishing it, Lokix can't do shit against it anymore, back in gen 6 and gen 7 OU I used Psychic Terrain as a move on Delphox because it completely fucked Mega Mawile users who though they'd get an easy kill with Sucker Punch and this won me a ton of games from 1200 to 1800 on ladder, Psychic Surge is a thing but I honestly think terrain setters are becoming a bit too numerable and homogenized. Then there's Magic Guard, which saves Delphox from hazards and allows it to become a pretty dangerous life orb user, I love Magician as an ability in single-player, it's a hilarious ability in fangames and romhacks, but it's complete shit in competitive.
The issue with Delphox is that it's not even bad, but it feels intetionally shafted, it doesn't even get Focus Blast as a move despite several other Fire types and pretty much like 80% of all Psychic types learning it.
On yet another tangent, I gotta love how every single redesign for Delphox retards try to push looks beyond awful, the issue isn't Delphox's base design, it's the shitty 3D model, Braixenfags are subhuman coomers, their opinions are worth less than shit.
