Pokémon Daily Issue 8

Pokemon of the Day

Snorlax

Todays pokemon of the day is Snorlax.

Health: 523
Attack: 318
Defense: 228
Speed: 158
Special: 228

Sure you may look at some of those stats and say wow, I never realized how much snorlax sucks, low defense, REALLY low speed, and low special, but this pokemon can be amazing with the following moveset:

Body Slam-Arguably the best normal type move with a 30% chance of paralysis, you can't go wrong.
Rest-To heal
Amnesia-To raise special so when you get hit by special attacks, it doesn't hurt as much.
Blizzard-With the help of Amnesia, this move can be very destructive.


Move of the Day

Earthquake

Today's Move of the Day is Earthquake (TM 26).  Earthquake is a ground type move with 10pp, the same as dig, but earthquake attacks your opponent without waiting that extra turn.  It's power is 100,  tying with dig to be the stronges ground type move.  Two of the pokemon that can learn this move naturally are Dugdrio (at level 47) and Golem (at level 36).  Overall, this is a great move, and is extremely effective against electric types and rock types, but when it comes to flying types, this move has absolutely no effect.

 

Unused pokemon of the Day

Hypno

Yellow Pokedex Entry:When it locks eyes with an enemy, it will use a mix of  PSI moves such as 
HYPNOSIS and CONFUSION.

Health: 373
Attack: 244
Defense: 238
Speed: 232
Special: 328
Hypno is Today's underused pokemon.  This pokemons stats don't suck, but they aren't amazing either.  He has nice special and hp, but is lacking in the other areas.  He has fairly good tm and move capability which is why I chose him for today's underused pokemon.  A good moveset for this pokemon is: Hypnosis
Dreameater
Psychic
Toxic

That moveset supports his special, and toxic is a good ability for any pokemon.
