Bellibolt is my favorite type of pokemon. He doesnt have the stats to normally hang our with the big boys and he doesnt just make up for it with something like prankster which seems to hard carry a lot of low stat pokemon. Hes a goofy guy with a good ability that fits a particular role well but has clear flaws to exploit. His gimmick doesnt feel too gimmicky, im glad someone has found a strong role for him.

@VivianKurayami4 ай бұрын
I ended up using Bellibolt over Kilowattrel in my Scarlet playthrough with only new Pokemon and ended up liking it just due to its bulky nature; the movepool felt kind of limited but I ended up including Soak just to deal with anything that resists Electric and since I'd take a hit for it usually that'd give Parabolic Charge double power.

I really wish Bellibolt had an ability that set electric terrain, either electric surge or an electric version of seed sower, because Pincurchin is so unbelievably awful that it holds back the future paradoxes compared to the past ones as the only other way to set electric terrian is with the basically always banned Miradon, and Bellibolt would've been the perfect non legendary electric terrian setter.

GF's approach to designing modern Pokemon seems to be handing out signature moves and abilities like candy, and I'm all for it. Lokix, Squawkabilly, Maschiff, Brambleghast, Toedscruel, Cyclizar, Houndstone, Cetitan, Clodsire, the paradoxes, and the loyal trio are the only fully evolved gen 9 mons to not have a signature move or ability. And most of them still have something obviously good going for them, like really good stats or being uniquely good at using their rare-but-not-signature move/ability. Except Squawkabilly. Squawkabilly is ass. Even if all gen 9 mons aren't equally good, they're all worthy for consideration because they all have their special thing they can do and can never be 100% outclassed.
