Aside from Braxien, are there any starter middle evolutions that are more popular than the first or final?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Donkey Konga is the homie and I will not tolerate any **** talking.

I'll talk plenty of **** about that traitorous creep.

Grovyle I think

It’s not traitorous just cuz it wasn’t what you wanted it to be, it’s exactly what I wanted it to be lmao

I guess, though it seems like Sceptile is still pretty popular in its own right.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Grovyle I think

I like Lockstin's idea of Sceptile with a Grovyle echo fighter. Feels like a good way to have the best of both worlds. Sceptile to rep Gen 3, Grovyle to rep Mystery Dungeon.

Well got in Smash

Good for you I guess. I'm glad you like a Pokemon with nothing but surface level connections to it's pre-evolution that looses all the charm and likability of it's starting form.

 

[Shroob]

Oh, right, Noi doesn't know all 4 of the Fossils.


Guess I gotta hold my memes in

Grookey was about drum beating from the start, man. I don’t see how it has no connections to its previous form.

Would that mean is more popular than Blastoise then?

No I know them.

They’re beautiful abominations.

Ngl really didn't like Grookey's original form. Rillaboom won me over though.

I think that's actually debatable, with me leaning moreso to yes.

That’s the case for most starters really.

Except maybe Charizard and Greninja.

 

[TheCJBrine]

Mauiboom is perfect, as are Gexelleon and Cinderabbit, don’t diss them.

Found these on Pinterest/Instagram, how would you feel about any of these evolutions?

I see I’ll need two Corsola if I want its evolution while still being overpowered.

‘guess I’ll have to farm Surprise Trade when I get the game.

Everything likeable about Grookey is not present in "he who shall not be named". He's not cute or loveable, he's not fast, and he's not playful. He's a big scary gorilla who wants to break things and kill you.

Not to mention it's also super predictable. There are thousands of different types of monkeys they could have used, but no. It has to be a big strong manly gorilla because "gorilla strong! Finals must STRONG!".

Ngl really didn't like Grookey's original form. Rillaboom won me over though.

Well.... good for you then.... doesn't change how I feel. Which is betrayed.

So, what makes Corsola overpowered in this gen?

Took out the ones I didn't like. Cause a few of those are really cool designs. Although I will point out that even the ones I like still look drastically different from their starting form with very few viable through lines. So they're not perfect.

Pure ghost typing and great defenses combined with a great support and recovery movepool combined with Cursed Body combined with Eviolite

Interesting.
I wanted one anyway, but now I certainly need one.

I got nothing to say about Pokemon so i'm gonna go for the night. Talk to you all tomorrow.

It's standard boxing with hands, but it becomes MMA when my boi brings out the tongue. Just..... revel in that sentence for me

It's spent years just...being there, a Pokemon was added in gen 7 that eats them and became more popular than them, and now it's got a new form that's fantastic at being a wall.

Corsola has one hell of a life.

Shout outs to the AI who keeps bringing grass type Pokémon to this flying type max raid, ensuring it kills enough of you to push me out of the battle.

I had one of the AI spam stat boosts with Solrock despite the Dynamax Pokemon removing all stat boosts each turn.

Yeah, in a real boxing match that would disqualify him HARD

I bring Zacian, so it's usually not a big deal.

How much grinding do you have to do in Sword and Shield?

Very little if I'm gonna be honest.

The only thing I'm not sold on yet are EVs.
