R.I.P. Flareon

[Double A]

In the Kanto games, I always caught me a Clefairy in Mt Moon and evolved it. It really sucked because I forgot Clefable couldn't learn new moves.

And I don't know if this counts, but in my first Ruby playthrough, at the last gym, I had a level 26 Ninjask in my party. It was also my last pokemon and killed Wally's Milotic with a quick attack.

Muk - I love that fat lumox.
Seadra - I love that crazy little psycho
Aerodactyl - Damn you'se be rockin
Kabutops - Check out your bitchin blades

I pick pokemon based purely on looks so, to be honest, most of them suck .

I know Aerodactyl doesn't suck (due to speed up the ass), and I don't think Muk or Kabutops suck either. Seadra kinda does, though.

Pidgeot. Looks so majestic, but in actuality sucks donkey penis.

In Gold, I had two. I never could figure out why they fainted so often if I didn't use Fly (I normally didn't have both at the same time).

I agree, I love using the Eeveelutions, and it is a shame Flareon sucks.

I can't think of any pokemon that I use frequently that is no good. Hitmonchan (Hitmonlee is so much better, but I like having both) sucked until generation 4, so I'll go with that.

I loved Hitmonchan and Sneazel. Sigh.

I used to think Magneton and Dugtrio were the best Pokemon ever.

Now I realize, they suck.

Gen 5 also introduces the Level 1 Aron sweep.

This, honestly, has made my year. The inner person in me is jumping up and down in jubilation, but it's 12:14 in the morning...

OT: I forgot about Houndoom, Arcanine, and Quagsire. Great pokemon designs, but behind better pokemon in online modes.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention that this is TerranReaper's video. Thank you so much for it!

My favorite pokemon that sucks?
Do Magicarp or Abra count?

I have a soft-spot for those two.

If not, the caterpie line of evolution. I just think they're pweety.

Funny you say that.

I saw a youtube video of a guy with a level 100 magikarp defeat an entire team of legendary pokemon (also level 100).

Someone want to quote me and post that vid? I can't find it. Funny stuff.

Yeah, I think I saw that. I believe he tanked with a focus band, and used flail after baton-passing a ton of attack and speed.

Come to think of it, I saw something similar with a caterpie...

Along with a Weedle sweep. Gen 5 also introduces the Level 1 Aron sweep.

Oh man, that was some nice meta-game thinking.

Too bad the other guy didn't have any ghost types.
Must think of new counter...

Well, the thing with the level 1 aron is that it is currently banned for use. Reasoning is that there are very little counters to it and you will always need one slot on your team to specifically counter it.

Exactly, as I said, all I can think of is a ghost.

However, I wonder who came up with it, or how long it took for it to occur to them.

Here's the Magikarp Sweep mentioned earlier:

And on the Aron sweep, couldn't something that resisted sadnstorm, something with Toxic or something with Roar or Whirlwind just end that sweep?

Correct, those could work, you just have to ensure you don't damage the Aron with a move that would normally kill it. Keep in mind though, not a lot of teams carry Roar or Whirlwind, plus they are low priority moves, and Toxic will leave the user with only 12-13 hp, which it would most likely guarantee a revenge kill after the Aron is dead.

Isn't there an ability that prioritises non-damaging moves in Gen 5 now? Quick "GTFO, Aron" right there.

There's an ability that allows to increase the priority by one, but it's not enough to help matters.

Yeah that's the one I was talking of, but I a misunderstood what it was. I thought it was a sort of "This move is going first, no argument" kind of ability.

I thought this was going to be a thread about how Flareon was good and now he's crap...because he's always been crap. I'm glad you know this.

Thing is, because he sucks so bad, I'm not too bothered about him still sucking. I've always preferred the tank properties of Vaporeon, and the blistering speed of Jolteon. I just look at Flareon and think "meh, I've got Arcanine...".

I thought Flareon and others were females not male................

So does that mean Blastoise,Nidoking,Ninetales,Arcanine,Alakazam(Kadabra,Abra),Marowak(cuebone),Kabutops and Dragonite all suck now??

If you give us a reason as to why they suck...

The reason I never gave a reason is because the OP summed it up.
