It took a year and like three months but finally the duo is complete.
Apple Pie has done the impossible, it made grass/bug actually kinda viable. Honestly this is an interesting bulky grass and I hope that it becomes an all american staple.
Damn I can't believe Glasnow is getting sent to the glue factory this early on. Well RIP Glasnow you will not be missed, as Regidurr is better than you and has a fun ability that gives it free healing with every punch. I know I meme on slow bulky ice types by calling them a wasted dex slot but ice/fighting is very nice when you know it's not on an ugly crab and the mon has access to some form of priority.
Interesting mon with interesting ultility. Sure that duck exists ready to pillage and killage everything, but this is cool too. Probably the only thing that can stand up to a certain swords puff.
I think it's lame. Like yeah it has eviolite for bulk but if I'm being honest between the two slow physical fucks we have in the meta I'm using Regidurr over this thing. I just don't like it plain and simple.
I hear the wails of some people claiming it is "TOO STRONG FOR NU" to which I say, it is literally the first slate. Calm down. Yes I know the big pink puff looks scary and has a sword bigger than any human to ever live, but it is not terrifying. Modest full investment SpA +1 is roughly base 115 SpA. Timid full investment SpA +1 is roughly base 105. Yes I know specs exist but even then it's not going to be hitting any harder than specs helioisk at timid or specs zoroark at modest. Next you'll say "BUT IT CAN GO PHYSICAL" okay it can do that and in terms of damage out put it's going to be similar to rapidash or again zoroark. Lastly there's the issue of its perfect coverage, how it has coverage for all two of its weaknesses. You want to know what other pokemon currently has perfect coverage for its weaknesses? FUCKING ZOROARK! I know Zoroark is a dark type and it lacks perfect physical coverage but I genuinely think that some of you need to realize that, again, this is the first slate. There will be additions that can check or counter Igglycian-Crowned later on. One slate does not a meta make.
