If You Could Make One Pokemon Good...

[M.K]

...Which Pokemon would it be?

I would make Poliwrath REALLY GOOD. I always thought he looked so badass, but his stats....are just mediocre....

 

[Ilucamy]

Pikachu. Every outlet of media makes them seem god tier, but they suck in game (Personally, I still use them just because they're my favorite).

 

[Moy]

Tauros is awesome, but it's Normal-type. Change its type and give it better moves, it'd be way better.

 

[Firus]

Meh. Pikachu is overrated, I'd keep their stats where they are. I'd rather have its popularity disappear than its stats upped.
Seriously, does anyone think that Pikachu gets waaay too much attention? And to think that it might be Bulbasaur that got all of the attention if Ash hadn't been a complete idiot and gotten to Oak's Lab on time. Charmander would've come first (it was Charmander, Squirtle, then Bulbasar that he picked the Pokeballs up in) but maybe he and Squirtle would've been gone? Although any of those three would be preferable to Pikachu.

If I could make one Pokemon good...I'm not entirely sure who I would choose. But off the top of my head, I can think of one that I might do; Pachirisu. Give it better stats (or an evolution) and an improved movepool so it can actually do something. It's a squirrel. Squirrels are awesome. It needs some recognition, as the only squirrel Pokemon in existence thus far.

If I could make one pokemon good............. it would be haunter. If they would make his stas as good as gengars or better that would be completly awesome and it would make it more fun to pown with him.

Firus, I agree Pikachu is way overrated. He is a ute mouse, but bulbasaur could have gotten more attention. I don't even know why they chose Pikachu out of all the other original 151.

I personally like pachirisu and minum allot better.

 

[The9litch]

IfF I K@n mAKk3 a Pog3Yz go0Od, Itz gottA be Garchomp =]. lol

but seriously, If I could choose one pokemon to improve it would probably be Absol. it's not terrible, but yet lacking imo, better move pool and speed ftw

 

[ozg82889]

whats wrong with pikachu. it maxes speed at 306 which isn't to bad and if you can give it a light bal lwhich doubles both atk and sp.atk you xn get up to 448 atk or 436 sp.atk. if played right with the right evs, ivs, and moveset it can be a powerful mixed, special, or physical sweeper.

also why would a pre-evolvation be overall stronger then its evolved form

 

[Bowser King]

I would make Luxray. It looks cool but is terrible in battle .

 

[Ilucamy]

Pikachu is my favorite just cause my first game ever was Pokemon Yellow. I got it when I was like 3 and the game was how I learned how to read.

@Firus, you're right, I'd rather that its popularity was lowered too, then I would be the only serious Pikachu user. (I also like Pachirisu)

Maybe they could make Butterfree better, I like most of the Bug pokemon, but they stink more than Pikachu.

 

[Darkslash]

Torterra for me. It the only Ground and Grass type i like. Actual its the only Grass starter i've started with. Maybe its because it looks so awesome...but thats just me :/. Give it better Grass type moves. The only Grass type that i find worth only having is Razor Leaf

 

[Christopher Rodriguez]

I would DEFINITELY make Kricketune better. Pump its stats up, make it faster.. Its like my most favorite Pokemon ever (to use even) yet it is a pos in competitive play thanks to being so frail. Give it G(odly)archomp like stats and increase its effectiveness as a physical sweeper by making it somewhat more bulky.

<3 Kricketune, he is definitely the most awesome Pokemon in the game.

 

[0RLY]

Most of my favorite Pokemon have a solid seat in OU and BL, so the only Pokemon I would actually make better would be one I feel sorry for. Some Pokemon are just so horrendously bad, they never really earned a place in my heart. My nominee is kind of random, but I'd have to say...

Banette
- His partner, Dusclops gained an evolution that significantly improved his stats and widened his movepool ever so slightly. Banette was left behind in Dusknoir's shadow.
- Banette has access to Insomnia and Frisk which can help turn the tide of the battle.
- If Banette gets a large stat-boost through evolving or something, preferably a sweeper version of Dusknoir so they're like opposites. Maybe a bigger movepool too, Banette would work a lot better.
- A badass puppet sweeping ur team.... epic.

Honorable Mention: Noctowl Just so I can nickname it "ORLY".

 

[PhillipthaGoober]

Magikarp. Give it all 1 hit KOs and max stats.

 

[Christopher Rodriguez]

Magikarp is NFE, why would anyone want to make it good in the first place

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Jigglypuff. She recieved no buffs and lots of nerfs from the transition from melee to brawl. Oh wait, we're talking about Pokemon's metagame?

 

[Chagen46]

Regigigas without hid ability, and with the ability intimadate.


That would be ridiculous.

 

[0RLY]

That WOULD be ridiculous. I'd say, keep the ability, just let it use the move Protect. Confuse Ray+Thunder Wave Gigas haxed my team one too many times.

 

[sonofthesky]

Ninetales.

It needs more <3.

 

[RedPeppers]

Luvdisc maybe? I think Luvdisc gets no love, and it would be awesome to sweep teams with a little sideways heart.

 

[urdailywater]

Chikorita.

 

[Spire]

Tropius. It was signature to Generation III, and represented it flawlessly, as a single-stage tropical Pokemon that felt both new and classic. I love that Pokemon, but it's really not all that great.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

I would choose either Flygon or Nidoking.

Flygon: Great pokemon that's stuck in BL.

Nidoking: Great move pool versatility but horrible stats.

-Ter

 

[Deleted member]

Charmander

 

[Pentaoku]

Farfetch'd, because it was never good. The only improvement they gave it was the "stick" item, which didn't really help it much.

 

[Zook]

Skarm isn't broken enough. Give it sky-high Hp and SpDef.

 

[Vyse]

I'd give Zangoose more speed.







Nah, he's perfect the way he is : 3

 

[MysticKenji]

I would make Typhlosion OU.

 

[Warriors]

i would make Arceus better. its stats really suck and he has a poor movepool

 

[Snail]

Mareep. It's adorable <3

 

[XACE-K]

All my favorites.

 

[0RLY]

Hmm I'd also like to see Clefable or Exploud get better. They both have massive movepools, but they have poorer stats than the hobo staring at you outside your window.

 

[Chagen46]

i would make Arceus better. its stats really suck and he has a poor movepool

Sporting a base 120 in every single stat, plus a ton of moves to choose from, Arceus could be anything. It gets Recover, Will-o-Wisp, Roar and more in the defensive side, and so many physical and special moves that it is impossible to mention a quarter of them in this little sentence. It can Swords Dance to boost its attack, and Calm Mind to boost its special attack. It has Multitype to become of any type it wants. To make long thins short, Arceus can virtually be a copy of any Pokemon and role except a Baton Passer. Want a powerful Normal type sweeper? You got it. Eccentric, and want a Poison type tank? You also got it. Want a Steel type special attacker and supporter? Arceus can do that, too. Because of this, Arceus can fit into any Uber team. When not using Multitype to change forms, Arceus can abuse Swords Dance and sweep with STABed Extremespeed

What? Are you insane?

 

[zrky]

All my favorites.

off course since your favorites suckjust kidding.

I was thinking (yes, I actually was) I would want to make Kabutops (better stats overall especially HP) and Empoleon(better speed and HP).

 

[MetaKnight63]

I would say Flygon and/or Exploud.

Great movepools, but below-average stats.

 

[Firus]

Ah, thought of another one. Jigglypuff. And I'm not talking slight upgrade, I want it to be unstoppable.

I'm surprised Skyler hasn't come in here saying that yet.

 

[MysticKenji]

It's so obvious he doesn't need to post it, I'm guessing.

 

[Firus]

It's so obvious he doesn't need to post it, I'm guessing.

Yeah, probably.

 

[Zook]

I'd like to give Dunsparce a tad more Speed and Defenses.

 

[boo836]

I want to upgrade bibarel or maybe Luvdisc. I know Luvdisc is uber, but I think it needs better attacking stats.

 

[CT Chia]

butterfree, its already amazing as it is with the mindgames it can do (mine can compete with OU play), but its stats just arent good enough
