Torkoal is obnoxious on Drought/TR teams. It's so slow. It's so slow! But completely dealable with. Which is how I think most pokemon should be. Do you have the counter? Good. Rocket tag.

bulbapedia posted:

Ash and his friends are sailing across the ocean on a boat, bound for Mossdeep City. For some reason, Torkoal is out of its Poké Ball. Torkoal and the others watch the waves from the bow of the ship. Pikachu and Torkoal are the first to notice something out on the ocean, which turns out to be a Spoink floating on a log, and is apparently the same Spoink they'd met before. Suddenly a wave knocks Spoink from the log, and Ash calls for the boat's pilot to stop. They pull Spoink on board in a life preserver. It hops around happily due to the rescue, but trips over the life preserver, and its pearl goes flying out into the water. Naturally, Spoink becomes hysterical, and everyone is amazed that Spoink lost its pearl again.
Spoink is briefly sad, but notices a round red flotation device (possibly used for a net) on the boat, and psychically picks it up and puts it on its head. Ash grabs the device away, saying that it doesn't belong to Spoink, and Torkoal cries at Spoink's situation. Torkoal then impulsively jumps into the water, intending to look for Spoink's pearl. The group gets worried that the Fire-type will be seriously hurt from being underwater so long. Torkoal dies. Brock points out that Torkoal did have a good idea though, so Brock and Ash send out Mudkip and Corphish to try to find Spoink's pearl.

For a second there I thought Fire/Ghost Torkoal was a real thing and was upset that it wasn't a Fire/Water steam-based Torkoal. Which should totally be an Alolan form.

I regularly forget Volcanion even exists, which is a crying shame because a fire/water steam-based pokemon is an amazing concept. I think Volcanion shouldn't have been a legendary.

I think now this late in its life, I should actually get around to playing Pokemon Sun finally. Now, I could just use what I find as usual, but then again, I want my Noibat buddy from Pokemon X, because Noibat is cute and also my favorite, so I'm breeding one up now.

I'll be able to access it through Pokemon Bank early on, right?

Clawitzer should have been Water/Fire as well, it wouldn't have been a stretch and would have made it more interesting than the umpteenth interchangeable mono Water-type that was immediately made redundant by Mega Blastoise. And it also would have fit very well with the color scheme of its shiny version.
