Is Hisuian Decidueye a Good Pokemon?
Unlike the other two starters from Pokemon Legends Arceus, Decidueye already existed in the Generation 8 games Sword and Shield.

Is Hisuian Samurott a Good Pokemon?
Oshawott is an interesting Pokemon from Pokemon’s Black and White Generation. In fact, it was my second-favorite starter Pokemon during Generation 5, as for whatever reason I didn’t take fancy to Tepig. My favorite starter from Black and White is actually Snivy, who I hoped would be the Grass-type choice for Pokemon Legends Arceus, although […]

Is Kleavor a Good Pokemon?
In Pokemon Legends Arceus, the new regional Hisuian evolution for Scyther, Kleavor is a Bug/Rock type Pokemon, in a similar vein to Dwebble and Crustle.

Typically, when we set to asking if a Pokemon is good, there are often various things holding it back in one area or another.

For many years, Arbok was a Pokemon with below average stats, but its dual typing and a decent move-pool allowed team builders to work with it.

Is Hisuian Electrode a Good Pokemon?
With Voltorb receiving a new Hisuian form in the Pokemon Legends Arceus game, the overall sentiment seems to be that he’s a cute new addition to the exciting new take on Pokemon adventure games for the Nintendo Switch.

Is Blastoise a Good Pokemon?
Blastoise has long been a favorite of many old school Pokemon players simply because of how versatile the Shellfish Pokemon can be. His defenses are solid both physically and specially, and he’s also a decent physical attacker and special attacker.
