I made a funny.

It is of masterwork standard quality.

Should've been a picture of a Hippowdown, Tyranitar, Excadrill team.

Just broke 1400 in OU.  Dunno man.  The farther I go the more stally the teams I go against become.  Thankfully that Slaking team stallbreaks really hard, by mid-game when people are starting to feel the residual from stealth rocks Harambe can one-shot anything that isn't a steel-type.  One-shotting mega-slowbro with a neutral physical attack is like.

I still hate that fucking playstyle.  People say it takes skill and prediction but I've watched stall vs stall, there's definitely no skill needed there since any advantages gained are so incremental they basically don't matter.  You can make ten mistakes in a row and barely shift the balance at all.

Maybe against hard offense teams it takes skill, where people carry redundant threats and missing a prediction can lose you a lynchpin wall, but

New pokemon revealed, Turtonator. Fire/Dragon. It's special attack Shell Trap causes the opponent to get hit by a much stronger explosion of damage if they hit Turtonator with a physical attack in the same turn.

Spoiler: Website Bio (click to show/hide)

Because Turtonator lives on volcanoes, feeding on sulfur and other materials found near volcanic craters, its shell has a layer of explosive material—mostly sulfur. When something strikes this Pokémon, sparks fly from the horns on its shell, igniting an explosion!

In areas around volcanic craters, this Pokémon camouflages itself as a rock and waits for prey. At the moment when its prey steps onto the back of its shell, Turtonator strikes its shell with its own tail, triggering an explosion!

The explosive blasts triggered from Turtonator’s back are released through an orifice located on the middle front of the Pokémon’s body. This is Turtonator’s weak point. Attacks landing on its stomach will cause it a great deal of damage.

Shell Trap is a move that only Turtonator is able to learn. With this move, the Pokémon can set a trap at the beginning of the turn, and if Turtonator is hit by an opponent’s physical attack during that turn, Shell Trap triggers an explosion that will deal much greater damage to the opponent.

Well, that was hideous.

Mata Mata looks fine, the pokemon created in his image is terrible.

literally a digimon

When they said an explosive dragon was going to show up, I was expecting this:

And lol for Vaniluxe rejoiced, no longer was he hated. For all had seen the mustached turtle abomination and in it the error of their ways.

[DeKaFu]

I... I don't mind it. It's certainly better than the ice cream IMO.

It is a little bit of a wasted opportunity though. The face is nowhere near as goofy and cute as a real mata mata.

Still. Ambush explode turtle is pretty good. It is a bit Monster-Hunter-ish in concept if not actual design.

literally a digimon

Not enough belts to be a Digimon.

[Furtuka]

I don't really have any major problems with it. I kinda like how tropical it is and how its colors look kinda flowery, and I like the Mata Mata theme. The only thing that I dislike is how its back faces the viewer so it looks extra odd in all its images.

[umiman]

I'm surprised it's not rock / dragon actually. That would be quite interesting.

[Akura]

Does it evolve from Torkoal? It seems they have similarities; both are fire turtles, both eat minerals(Torkoal eats coal, Turtonator eats sulfur), both are encountered around volcanoes.


If I catch one, I will name it Bowser, and it will be King of the Koopas. Now that I think about it, there's a turtle Pokemon for each of the colors of the Koopa Troopas from Super Mario World, right? Squirtle is blue, Torkoal is red, Torterra is green while Grotle's shell is yellow.

I wonder what are the odds that its the new voltorb/foongus?

[Cthulhu]

It doesn't look that overwrought to me.

I'm still wondering about Gumshoos, aside from the Donald Trump thing.  Can't decide if that ability will be good or bad.  It could work as a pseudo shadow tag if his stats are good enough.  Maybe Return/Fire Punch/Earthquake/Giga-impact.  Return hits almost everything neutrally and fire punch and earthquake will nuke any steel/rock types that try to come in on a return, and giga impact because kek

Depends on the stats though.  And I'm not sure I'm ready for the wine in front of me of trying to decide whether to go for return or a coverage move when i do double damage if he switches out.

I think Alola Marowak will be good, again depending on the stats.  Three immunities, including will-o-wisp and thunder wave.
