I don't even know why Surskit.
Worst Loli Ever, Surskit is in that "tier" because if you use a Net Ball on it, it will have the same catch ratio as the Master Ball, but only on Surskit and similar Pokémon. and FYI, the Net Ball catch ratio increases if the Pokémon is Water type or Bug Type. Surskit has both types

Wrong, Net Ball or any other Ball cannot "stack" their effectivity, thus only replacing the chance with a higher one if there is one available, which is replacing the Net Balls chance towards Bug Types (in this case x3) with the effectivity against Water type = x3.
What has changed? Nothing, it basically overwrites the first effect with the second thus not stacking it.

Taking from the formula here (which is not the secret krabby patty formula)


The only additional thing taken in effect is only one bonus, which is the ball bonus, not including another ball effect whatsoever.

PS: Surskits catch rate with 100% HP @ Net Ball without it having status ailments is 78,1% eitherways.
FYI Surskit has a catch rate of 200; 255 being the easiest to catch (Magikarp, Feebas etc. as an example) and 3 (mostly legendaries, excluding Beldum) the most difficult.

TRIVIA: Surskits catch rate can be upped to 100% always, with full HP, no status ailments by just using a Quick Ball at the first turn.
ANOTHER TRIVIAL THING: Quick Balls has a capture rate of x5 (first turn) which is currently the highest capture rate for an pokeball that can be bought in the game since the introduction of Pokémon Black and White.

Just a reminder that the Gen V Pokémon Global Link closes (or rather, you're unable to use Game Sync) in 9 days. Transfer whatever items and Pokémon you can now, because once it closes all your items on there are gone for good.

So last night I was browsing Pokédex 3D because I like to do that sometimes. And I came across a pokémon I almost entirely forgot even existed.



How many of you can say off the top of your head what this thing's name is? How about what it evolves from? I wouldn't have been able to answer either question before yesterday, and I'll probably be unable to answer those questions a week from now.

I think Mothim is the most forgettable pokémon in town. I remember Burmy and Wormadam just fine but having never actually used either, it became so easy to forget that this low-profile mon had an alternate evolution! And bug is even one of my favorite types...

How about you guys? Any pokémon you find particularly forgettable? Any particular reason (e.g. version exclusive to the version you didn't have)? There are several others I could list but I want to see what everyone else brings up first.

This is the only evolution line I always forget or never realize it.
mathexpert
When I caught this in a friend safari I didn't know what the fuck it was...then I found out I hadn't noticed it for 6 generations .-.
Jinxy
I remember Mothim and Venomoth for Tinted Lens shenanigans.


Though, in the forgettable category, who knows Finneon?
bmin11
That fabulous little fish I don't know where to use?

EDIT: Yup. I just checked Lumineon and I still have no idea where to use it.

I just always forget about it. I didn't even remember what it evolved from until now. I've never seen it used except by gamefreak teams in battle institutes.

Mothim evolves from a Male Burmy, Wormadam from a Female Burmy
NotEvenDoomMusic


Smoochum.

Easily forgetable because it isn't anything special, it evolves into Jynx which isn't any special either, ontop of that the only way to get it was breeding off Jynx and it has no use after it whatsoever.
Though, you could catch it in Gen IV only in swarms and in Platinum, quite rare in the Snowpoint Temple.

I'm not saying it's the worst pokemon, but also not superficially throwing in Bug pokemon (which are common, and easily forgetable aswell) for a measure, it's just that i often forget that Jynx had a pre-evolution which is Smoochum.

From all generations, i think Gen IV was the most nightmare-ish for me as it featured 2 of my "i seriously don't like them, seriously."-pokemon.
Most annoying pokemon though is Bronzor... i don't know, it just... i don't like it :/ (Bronzong is okay though)
second most annoying is Kricketune, years and years and i'm still disturbed with my imagination why a bug would have a ballgag as a mouth.
Female version is worse though, moustached bug with a ballgag. :'c
mathexpert
really? I've never used jynx, but on smogon it lists jynx as a uber and OU...
and as an Ice/psychic/super creepy pokemon, it kinda stood out to me
bmin11
Jynx is labeled NU. It just has analyzes for those who wants to use her for RU and above.

I also think most baby pokemons are quite forgettable imo. They are cute, but you rarely see them.

Yeah, well i actually was pointing on Smoochum and not Jynx, as i said, i never really realized that Jynx has an pre-evo which is Smoochum.
So it kinda got lost until every time i whip out the dex to check which pokemons are missing.

Also, the reason why Jynx is in Uber and OU is the way she can be played as aka. in the tiers it can be played, it's just a rule, nonetheless, Alakazam is widely prefered over Jynx since it's faster and has more SP.A.
State me wrong here, but Jynx isn't really a pokemon widely spread and mainly for use in setup due to her Dry Skin ability.

It's weird... I can recall every Pokémon's type (at least up to Gen V), but I can't recall all of their names.

Does that count?

Oh wow that video. I will give Kricketune has a freaking memorable cry and I'll remember it when I hear the cry at least.

Well for battling purposes, it's what matters the most so you are fine like that '-'
I have to search in the wikidex when I battle, even in the battle mansion or easy things, since I completely skipped gen V and gen III ;_;

lol which gen is this? i dont even know any pokemon after the one with blaziken
NaomiMinette
Lol, crap... I can't remember if Mothim was in Gen IV or V.

Okay, Soap wins (to some extent).
Trash Boat
Mothim is from Gen IV
Soaprman
NEDM: I actually kind of feel the same way about most baby pokémon. It could be because few (if any?) of them can be caught in the wild, and few trainers use them, so one could play through single player without encountering many of them. Like you, I only really know they exist when I'm purposefully breeding them to get dex entries.

Types are usually somewhat easy to guess by just looking at the pokémon, though.

Mawile is another one I forgot about up until X/Y came out... it was Ruby exclusive and I only had Sapphire (Never had Emerald, so it might have also been in that). I didn't play a whole lot in gens 3-4 either so I never actually saw one until I looked in a pokédex online or something. Now it's got a mega evolution and people can't stop talking about it! Talk about going from zero to hero.

Mega Qwilfish for GenVII
Soaprman
Just for the hell of it, here's a list of pokémon with no evolutions OR mega evolutions OR baby forms (excluding legendaries). Spoilerbox for big (but not very big):

SPOILER
Gen 1
Farfetch'd
Tauros
Ditto

Gen 2
Unown
Wobbuffet
Girafarig
Dunsparce
Qwilfish
Shuckle
Delibird
Skarmory
Stantler

Sableye
Plusle
Minun
Volbeat
Illumise
Torkoal
Spinda
Zangoose
Seviper
Lunatone
Solrock
Castform
Kecleon
Relicanth
Luvdisc

Gen 4
Pachirisu
Chatot
Spiritomb
Carnivine
Rotom

Gen 5
Audino

Maractus
Emolga
Alomomola
Stunfisk
Bouffalant
Heatmor

Look at all these low-profile nobodies (mixed in with the occasional somebody). I look forward to the day when I can collect Unownite A, Unownite B, Unownite C, and the rest to allow each of the Unown in my Unown PC box to mega evolve should I take them into battle. Unown P, Unown E, Unown N, Unown I, Unown S, and Mega Unown ! will make quite the team.

I'm still mega (get it???) disappointed that there's no Mega Seviper or Mega Zangoose. Maybe next gen...

ok so the TCG is surprisingly fun

Played online on the official client, and hilariously wrecked my first opponent match because the he had a Normal/Electric starter deck and I just stomped so hard with my Fighting/Ground starter deck.

finally, a TCG Player! that topic was about to be graveyarded, but you resurrected it. Thanks a lot
Jinxy
Well technically I'm just testing it out, still not really interested in what cards come out simply because I'm never going to get to use them anyway

and exiting the game is a massive pain in the ass
