    I know them all, can't say I have battled with Kricketune, Furret and the like though. Ariados is one that I always forget about, then get in CC battles and am surprised that it still exists

    I've attempted (and failed) to get anything viable whatsoever out of Kricketune, so I have battled with it but not much. I've used Furret in NEU and NU, and Ariados in NEU. None of them are that good but I like trying to use stuff that theoretically is really bad.

    D= You have clearly underestimated the lion's power IN-GAME

    According to me, its Azurill (heck, I thought it was a water type until I saw it recently in the team builder accidentally) and maybe Yamask...

    Ariados actually was a really cool lead in HGSS Ubers. It had Insomnia to troll Darkrai leads, could set up Toxic Spikes early in the battle, and had Sucker Punch to break sashes.

    Actually saw in ariados in wifi ubers the other day. It was sludge bomb/toxic/spider web/sucker punch against my double dance groudon. It started with spider web. I used rock polish. It used sucker punch. I used Swords Dance. I used Rock Slide, miss, he used sludge bomb, I use Rock Slide, again missed, he used toxic. I used Rock slide then proceeded to kill his team though his ferrothorn survived and got a gyro ball in, I won 6-0 but groudon had 4 hp lol.

    You know I wish the trpainch evolution line had more attack. I mean dratini has base 60 or something and axew too, none of the dragons prevos on a 3 stage evo line have more than 90. Except trapinch. Starting only 37 behind the mighty dragonite. Yet what does gamefreak do? Ruin it! Dratini starts at base 67 and goes to base 137 if I recall correctly. That is +70 in base atk. If that happened to trapinch flygon would equal KYUREM-B. But what does gamefreak do? Keep it at 100 and flygon at base 80/80/100/80/80/100 >.<

    Lols...You randomly start things up =D
    The guy was correcting metal Sonic's Trapinch evolution line. Trapinch is a good poke with average stats and a good ability yeah, but flygon would have been too OP in gen 3 anyhow if it had anymore attack.

    Btw, Anybody know what a Pachirisu is ? The plagiarized version of Pikachu!

    Also Emolga, Minun, and Plusle! They do it every gen, and I personally like it. They made Pikachu their mascot, might as well go with it

    skiploom is a good subseeder
    silcoon is the pokemon in gen 3 that you get to get a fully evolved lvl 10 pokemon and swadloon is the thing burgh uses.

    Kricketune has to be one of the most uncommon Pokemon, particularly when battling competitively. Noctowl, Granbull, and Magcargo are right up there with it.

    All of those are perfectly viable in NEU, and probably pretty well viable in NU.

    I didn't realize Trapinch had 100 Base Attack, that's pretty freaking impressive for an LC mon.

    Am I he only one who used Technican SD Bug Bite Kricketune with screens support and failed/s]?
    I think I can remember all the Pokemon, just not in order. But remembering the Pokemons' cries, I cannot.

    Well, except kricketune's cry.

    Zubat is really annoying especially on the early games and that makes him really popular.
    Its the overall popularity, not the viability. ;3

    Well, to be fair, Zubat has like negative bajillion popularity, that's pretty low. Only Geodude and Tentacool can compete with it.

    Nuzleaf might actually be pretty well known, due to Nuzlocke. Also, what's this Pokémon?
