On the one hand, yes.
On the other hand my phone's dictionary has most/all the Gen 1 pokemon in it. It doesn't suggest them as words until it's seen them at least once but it does recognize them as correct.

...why does Bisharp mega evolve into a centaur? That has absolutely nothing to do with its typing, ability or design :psyduck:

Because it goes from a pawn, to a Bishop, to a Knight.

Regular bisharp gets the same design change when it Mega Evolves.

The way they have it rearing up makes it look like the legs are just kind of coming out of the middle of the horse-part's chest.

One thing to note about Foundry, the two pokemon that have it as their mega abilities learn stealth rock.

Fire type Stealth Rock is a separate thing from normal Stealth Rock.

If a Ice/Bug type pokemon were to swap in to dual rocks they would instantly die.

It should just ignore the ghost immunity to those types and compare the attack normally against its other types?

According to the wiki, it's this.

I love the "Namehere" Joke, also Mega Typhlosion looks fine enough to me, it's definitely not the dumbest looking Delta or Mega in this game.

The main problem with him is that he's a one trick pony. Typhlosion just does not have Special Coverage moves and Insurgence did not give it to him. You can breed Extrasensory onto him but... yeah.

It dealt crappy damage to everything. One of the early trainerson the route has an Azumarill and even hitting for super effective, it dealt less than the equally super effective Flash Cannon. It's just Magnolia's terrible attack stat showing its face in a physical move.

Mew, Bulbasaur, Arceus and Rhydon all have claim to being the 1st pokemon for different reasons.

To clarify. Mew was called the First pokemon in generation 1, Bulbasaur is the first pokemon in the pokedex. Rhydon was the first pokemon created for the games. And Arceus supposedly created the universe and thus all pokemon.

Also Reborn would have given a field that would have totally hosed you in this battle, no matter how you prepared.

I'm sure if Insurgence asked nicely it could borrow one of Reborn's.

In Insurgence? No, nothing from SuMo has shown up, and the developers straight up said they're not adding in any more pokemon because everyone and their brother has their pet delta that they want to put in.

Kinda redundant, given the purpose of Venomous.

Of course, so is Venomous, given access to a Toxic TM. Which is probably why it's stuck near the end of the game.

What you're actually supposed to do with it is use it with a poison-inflicting damaging move. Probably Sludge Bomb.

But that's kind of lame.

Poison gas isn't 100% accuracy, I think his point is "If you're going for a 'will poison the enemy pokemon' move why not go with the more accurate one."
