Klefki went from hate... to great... to hate again. I wanted to train one, but then I saw how annoying it was to battle, and I personally prefer to fight with honour. It's so cute, but...
Thank you Roar for going past Substitute AND Protect in XYMine has to be Gliscor...all bat-like resemblances aside, I actually love all Ground-type mons, and it is my favorite type. Back when I first got into competitive battling some couple years ago, me and a friend both raised Poison Heal Gliscors on our Black/White Versions. He went with a Swords Dance set, I went with the good ol' AcroFling set, and all was good. He was pretty cool and fun to use, especially since I rarely saw people using that set (Yeah I know it sucks nowadays)
But then fast forward to today...everywhere in OU. SubToxic Gliscor. Slowly draining my patience. Stalling you out for all 32 turns with great pleasure on its face. Watching you bleed slowly as it spams Substitute...then Protect...Sub...Protect...over and over. Even when you have something against it that it can't beat! They just gotta be "that guy" and always do some stally BS that is a waste of both players' time. While I still do like Gliscor as a Ground-type, I just feel the sodium rising a little every time I see one in team preview on the opposing side, because I already know what antics (usually) lay in store.
...Doesn't help that Guillotine is actually allowed on Wi-Fi. Now he can not only stall you out and be "that guy" but he can also murder you instantly!
Chances are its just like Kyurem, it should get a new forme or evolution or whatever in the next Kalos game, there seem to be hints supporting thisI really liked Zygarde back when it was leaked before XY came out on how badass it looked and it was a Dragon type (my favorite type), until I saw it's stats, yeah good luck getting constantly murdered by Ice Beams you retarded snake version of Captian Planet
Hating Salamence!? You're are dead to me lolSalamence, and this was before Gen VI and Fairies. I thought of the idea of breeding myself one for the PWT with DD in its movesets and hope the RNG wasn't being too much of a dick to me on the rest. Unfortunately, I ended up disappointed that the hours I spent trying to hatch a good Salamence was wasted in regards to the Dragon's frailty. Even with Intimidate, neutral attacks left sizable dents on her and I rarely was able to get off a Dance because she often got KO'd or crippled by a status move. With Gen VI out now, I was thinking or rebreeding since I felt the reasons I failed to get good use out of Mence was bad defense IVs, but Dragonite is just too much fun.
