Is Venusaur Good Competitively in Pokemon?
As the final evolution of Pokemon’s Bulbasaur, one of the three first ever starter monsters from Red and Blue, Venusaur has enjoyed a long competitive history. Despite having many different weaknesses in earlier generations of the video game franchise, Venusaur has gained additional resistances as types have been introduced into Pokemon. Also, while its move […]
Is Lickilicky a Good Pokemon?
Long ago, Lickitung was one of the first 150 Pokemon. Its main appeal was the fact it was a relatively rare Pokemon to get. In Red and Blue, you had to trade a Slowbro to somebody at the Route 18 Gate House. But, in Pokemon Yellow, you could actually catch one in Cerulean Cave after […]
Is Hisuian Typhlosion a Good Pokemon?
When the starters of the Pokemon Legends Arceus game were first announced – Cyndaquil, Oshawott, and Rowlet – right away, I decided on Cyndaquil for my first playthrough. This decision was strongly drawn to the idea of playing around with the Fire/Ghost typing that was rumored for Hisuian Typhlosion. Having a starter in a similar […]
Is Charmander Good in Competitive Pokemon?
Not only is Charmander the most popular of the original three Pokemon starters, but it happens to be the first Pokemon I ever saw as a kid. Most of us were likely introduced to Pokemon through Pikachu, but it was Charmander for me. In fact, the first Pokemon anime episode I ever watched happened to […]
Pokemon Legends Arceus: A Review
Pokemon Legends Arceus may be the most ambitious project that Game Freak has ever undertaken. Borrowing elements from the popular Monster Hunter series, as well as some nods to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this is the most unique Pokemon adventure so far. What the game does well it excels at, but […]
Is Ursaluna Good in Pokemon Legends Arceus?
In Pokemon Legends Arceus, Ursaring finally gets an evolution in Ursaluna. As one of the Ride Pokemon in the game, you’ll be spending a lot of time with this Hisui exclusive. Unfortunately, he’s also one of the trickier Pokemon to evolve in the game, thanks to needing an excessively rare item in Peat Block. Not […]
Is Enamorus a Good Pokemon?
Enamorus is unique among the new Pokemon in Legends Arceus, being the only brand new standalone Pokemon introduced in this game that wasn’t an evolution for a pre-existing mon. She is a new Genie like Pokemon in the mold of Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus. Like the others, she has two forms, an Incarnate Forme and […]
Is Hisuian Avalugg a Good Pokemon?
When it came to a Pokemon game based on the ancient Sinnoh region – then called Hisui – you wouldn’t expect Avalugg to be a key part of the game. Not only did the Generation 6 (X & Y) Avalugg appear in what is technically a Generation 4 (Diamond and Pearl) game, but it became […]
Is Hisuian Goodra a Good Pokemon?
With Pokemon Legends Arceus, we get an alternate Hisui form in Hisuian Goodra, in which our gooey Dragon friend gains the Steel typing. Goodra has always been a favorite of many Pokemon trainers and for good reason. Its gooey exterior only adds to the charm of this Dragon-type mon. While its competitive usage has fallen […]
