Hey Trainers, the Community Day voting candidates for September and October were just recently announced; Porygon, Charmander, Grimer, and Caterpie.
Well go 1 by 1 to determine up a Pokemons possible PvP and raid practicality and the shiny kind of each.
The relocations are TBD currently, however its clear that the winner of the vote will be the Community Day Pokemon for September, and the runner up will be featured for October. If your favourite is a silver medalist, dont fret, itll get its possibility.
Porygon
Potential interesting Moves: Tri Attack * Normal, Discharge Electric, Giga Impact Normal, Shadow Ball Ghost
Shiny Comparison:
PvP Rating: 4/5.
Raid Rating: 1/5.
Porygon2 stats: 198a/180d/198s.
Porygon-Z stats: 264a/150d/198s.
Raid Meta: Normal is not an excellent type for raids. Proceeding.
.
Charmander.
PvP Meta: With Porygon2, lock-on and porygon-z were already compelling bruisers in the Ultra and Master leagues. However, their attack speed, worn-out coverage, and Porygon-Zs frailty held them back. The 2 depend on Return as their relocation of option, which can cause them to resist common steel types. With a faster charge attack, even simply 45-50 energy, they d be the kings of spam or bait. If Tri-Attack is a fast relocation and thats what they get, theyll be in trouble … Well, its a new shiny, itll win the vote anyway.
Potential fascinating moves: Fire Fang Fire, Dragon Breath Dragon, Dragon Tail Dragon, Thunder Punch Electric, Fly Flying, Rock Slide Rock, Blaze Kick Fire, Counter Fighting, Outrage Dragon, Flare Blitz * Fire.
Shiny Comparison:
Potential Interesting Moves (shared): Payback * Dark, Ice Punch Ice, Fire Punch Fire, Power-Up-Punch Fighting, Rock Slide Rock.
.
Charizard Stats: 223a/173d/186s.
Mega Charizard X Theoretical Stats: 273a/213d/186s.
Mega Charizard Y Theoretical Stats: 319a/212d/186s.
Raids: Fire Fang would offer Charizard a small benefit in DPS, however inadequate to turn any tides. Outrage or Dragon Tail would help Mega Charizard X, but once again we dont know how itll be implemented. Likewise, it might just get one of those relocations, and Mega Rayquaza and Salamence exist.
PvP Rating: 3/5.
Raid Rating: 3/5 (Charizard was currently good).
Note: Since we do not know how mega advancements will be implemented, well focus on vanillazard here.
Grimer.
It actually requires a fast move, nevertheless, as Fire Spin is something you settle for rather than desire. Fire Fang would enhance it well, as a quicker, high DPS option to Fire Spin thatll let it be less reliant on its charge moves. It might likewise use Dragon Breath, an infamous quick move, to assist its matches where fire is withstood and turn some video games around.
Shiny Comparison:
Potential Interesting Moves: Air Slash Flying, Energy Ball Grass, Shadow Ball Ghost, Hurricane Flying.
Raids: Poison is a shallow meta, and Muk cant really contend (or get anything new, for that matter). Alolan Muk does not prosper for dark, since thats in the very same league as Ghost, which has a few of the greatest raiders.
Kanto Muk Stats: 190a/172d/233s.
Alolan Muk Stats: 190a/172d/233s.
PvP Meta: Alolan Muk is currently seen as a powerhouse in Ultra, with its particular weak point of Ground and decent bulk. Snarls insane energy gain and Dark Pulses strong DPS can be frightening to the unprepared. Its primary counters are Pokemon that can withstand its attacks or whittle it down with strong moves or debuffs. It could find out a lot of transfer to cover its weaknesses, such as Fire Punch to beat Registeel and Articuno, Ice Punch to demolish Dragons and handle ground easier, or Power-Up-Punch to end up being a monster. It might also get Machamps missed out on opportunity, Payback.
Caterpie.
K. PvP Rating: 2 (usage alolan).
A. PvP Rating: 5.
Raid Rating: 1.
.
Shiny Comparison:
Stay civil, Trainers.
Its pretty obvious whats going to win (heres a hint: its the brand-new shiny), however the runner up, in my viewpoint, depends entirely on the move, considering that both Alolan Muk and Charizard are Ultra League staples with some exploitable spaces that could be patched up. Simply vote for what you like, since all 3 viable alternatives could shake up the PvP meta.
PvP Rating: 1/5.
Raid Rating: 0/5.
PvP Meta: Those stats are bad, the typings bad, and no matter what it gets it needs to deal with bad charge and/or quick moves. Its simply … bad.
.
Raids: Its a great glossy, at least.
Butterfree Stats: 164a/137d/155s.
Conclusion.
It truly needs a fast relocation, however, as Fire Spin is something you settle for rather than want. Fire Fang would enhance it well, as a quicker, high DPS alternative to Fire Spin thatll let it be less dependent on its charge moves. It could likewise use Dragon Breath, a notorious fast relocation, to help its matchups where fire is resisted and turn some games around. It could find out a lot of relocations to cover its weak points, such as Fire Punch to beat Registeel and Articuno, Ice Punch to destroy Dragons and deal with ground much easier, or Power-Up-Punch to end up being a beast. Its quite obvious whats going to win (heres a tip: its the brand-new glossy), but the runner up, in my opinion, depends completely on the relocation, given that both Alolan Muk and Charizard are Ultra League staples with some exploitable gaps that could be patched up.
