I'm not exactly sure how to start this off, but I was thinking about which typing/stats/ability/etc would add to be the most effective pokemon in the current D/P metagame. This is a game and at the same time a discussion on which Pokemon is the "perfect" in the current standard metagame. I know there isn't one, that's why you're making one up!
So here are the rules of the pokemon or "fakemon" that you can create.(For those who wish to play)
I have a certain format which I'd like everyone here to follow to make things a little simpler and easier to understand. Here's the format:
Name: This is the name of your pokemon. Simple stuff.
Typing: This is where you list it's type or dual typing. Only list typing that already exists.
Ability: List it's ability. Only use abilities which already exist and do not use wonder guard.
Stats: All pokemon's base stats can't exceed 600. I'm doing this so we wouldn't have 720 base Arceus pokemon and I was thinking about the standard metagame and not above. So here, you'll do a layout of it's stats.(base)
HP/Atk/Def/SAtk/SDef/Speed
Try to add something that wouldn't be broken. Something with 500 max speed and 500 max attack would be broken so try not to do that.
I wanted to add a movepool section, but that's not necessary since everyone would simply use the best and most useful moves.
Evolution: If this Pokemon evolved from anything, list it. You can say that your pokemon evolves from actual pokemon in D/P, or from fakemon you made up. Let's assume that pokemon can't evolve from the third stage. So please don't use things like "Godzilla" and say it evolved from Tyranitar.
Explenation: Here you'll explain the pokemon's use in the standard metagame and you can tell us which pokemon your "fakemon" deals the best with and vice versa. Remember, the perfect pokemon has to have a combination of all of the sections above.
Description: You can have some fun in this section. Describe to us what the pokemon that you thought of looks like! If you're basing it off of some animal you can post the pic if you want to. Post what you think it's height and weight would be.
And the last section is simply a question: In the current D/P metagame(which isn't established yet, but I think most of us have enough knowledge for an opinionated question): Which "real" Pokemon that is 600 base or under(including Slaking) do you think is the closest to the "perfect pokemon?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll start off with an example:
Name: Metaghoul (I know I don't have an imagination)
Typing: Ghost/Steel
Ability: Levitate
Stats: HP-100/Atk-80/Def-120/SAtk-90/Sdef-100/Spd-110
Evolution: doesn't have one
Explenation: This "fakemon" would work well because of it's great defensive typing and it's ability would allow it to switch into several different types of attacks. It's only weakness is fire and fire type attacks aren't common.
Description: It would have a base of a ghost/ghoul (however you imagine it) except obviously it's made of metal, too. So mix
this and this
and you get the right idea lol.
As for the last question: I would probably say either Tyranitar or Salamence. I can't decide.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this thread is to have fun and also discuss which typing/ability/etc is the closest that we can get to "perfect" in the standard competitive environment with the limits that we have in certain areas.
So have fun with this, and create your own poke!
