Grassy surge, soccer protean, cool. But why did he have to get such a lame ability?

The obvious one was a boost in evasion during rain. Wouldn’t have been that broken, it still has no moves

Sniper is a scary ability under the right circumstances. It's supposed to combo with Snipe Shot, but it really should have been higher than 80 BP.

Snipe shot should have a higher critical hit chance, so that it guarantees a critical hit in combination with a Scope Lens without the need of Focus Energy. That would be a neat gimmick, but as of now if you're running a scope+focus energy set anyway, Snipe Shot becomes useless.

The problem with this mon is that to be good, you have to set up with the crit boosting move.
He has shitty bulk and 120 speed isn't enough to secure it. Also you have to use a special item for him again for the crit. If he had an ability like Mimikyu where the first attack would be tanked, I think he would have potential, but it's just GameFreak lashing out for 2 gens in a row for the Greninja love.

>he

>who
cares

Because it's a sniper retard.

Yes because a soccer player with protean also makes just as much sense

>girly choice
>EVER getting a proper ability
Delphox and Primarina say "Hi".

It does actually, but hambeasts like you wouldn't understand. It's been a position and thing a particular player has gotten tasked with since the same year as the very first World Cup tournament almost 100 years ago.

It goes well with its lame design

Ah yes, that makes a lot of sense for a soccer rabbit completely changing its elemental typing and isn’t a contrived reason to give another shillstarter protean

Concession accepted hambeast.

I’m sure your girlfriend cinderace is very proud of you for defending her honor

Snipe shot does have increased crit hit chance it's just not listed. But you need 3 crit stages to get 100% crit.

This

Don't know what to tell you, scope lens + focus energy on randbats is one of the most annoying sets out of all starters, next to subseed venusaur/sceptile, so maybe sniper isn't such a bad ability for it

>not using man marking
>able to fully change type
It would make more sense if the thing had a soccer form and a basketball form and a baseball form

Cool

Not really, players are specialists - goalie, right back, striker (akin to pokémon being TYPE specialists, elemental affinities with one or two types) so a pokémon able to cover MANY type affinities would still be the same as a defender canny enough on the ball to play defence-splitting passes and racking up goals and assists in numbers comparable to midfield contributors.
