Buff a Pokémon

[Cirdec]

you seem to be forgetting that there is more to arceus than just its offenses, being able to be any solo type and getting a rather impressive move pool, plus arceus is still the top of the threat list with mewtwo even with base 120, not sure why you think its not that threatening.

Don't get me wrong. Arceus IS a beast, but it does not hit as hard as things like Haxorus, Alakazam, and most other uber legendaries; a Magmortar can easily take a non-STABbed Earth Power from Arceus. And of course, it is limited to using only four moves, so covering all the Pokemon types is not possible.

Arceus with Sword Dance,Extremespeed,Brick Break and Shadow Claw is one of the most powerful attackers, it covers everything. Plus he can survive most attacks.

I can see what you mean there, but some people may want to take advantage of Arceus's Multitype ability, especially when you take into account that no one else can effectively use Judgment like Arceus.

and the fact that dark arceus is one of the few things that can actually counter mewtwo.


also speaking of buffing pokemon.

Anyone else think Sharpedo should get some better defenses?

It only has 70/40/40 defenses and its fully evolved to note, so thats pretty sad. I mean I've taking out the thing with resisted hits(fire, ghost, etc.)

I also think Electivire and Magmortar should keep their speed stats from their pre-evos. It doesn't make sense that it dropped, especially since Magmortar's base speed is 83 which is just so lame.

Unless Mewtwo has aura sphere.

Well it can still counter mewtwo, but that really depends on the set that mewtwo has though.

I'm not doubting that. But Aura Sphere + Mewtwo's high special attack against dark Arceus is gonna hurt.

Yeah no doubt, i think it can still survive an aura sphere from mewtwo though with good enough defense evs and if mewtwo isnt packing calm mind/choice specs.

Not sure though but thats just my theory.

A Timid Mewtwo is hardly ever going to 1-hit KO a Dark-type Arceus with Aura Sphere, even with the Choice Specs in its arsenal. Dark-type Arceus, on the other hand, easily 1-hit KOs Mewtwo with Judgment.

Anyway, I feel quite bad for Keldeo, since its special movepool is just pitiful without Ice Beam, and Secret Sword is less powerful than Aura Sphere and Sacred Sword. To add insult to injury, its ability is Justified, which is useless on a Pokemon who doesn't even excel very well with physical attacks.

As for Darmanitan, Zen Mode needs to be improved, since it's just way too situational to be relied on. If anything, if Darmanitan has Zen Mode as its ability, it should automatically enter Zen Mode, regardless of its current HP value. That way, you could make it into a true special attack user, instead of the less efficient mixed sweeper.

Sharpedo is a cool Pokemon, so yes. It has speed boost, though. That makes it even cooler.

Unfortunately, Sharpedo's best STABbed physical moves are Waterfall and Crunch, which are weaker than Blaziken's Flare Blitz and Hi Jump Kick; this is part of the reason why Sharpedo is not a uber, while Blaziken is.

and the fact that its defenses are far worse, then again blaziken might be ohko'd in ubers anyway due to all the power houses.
