How to improve: 127: Pinsir

1.Stats: Should Pinsir get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Pinsir can get +40 BST.

Pinsir would prefer an Evolution, but with its Mega this is unlikely, so a pre-evo or two, perhaps one shared by Heracross, would be better. Pinsir would prefer a side Mega, as while Mega Pinsir is powerful, its typing is horrendous.

Parasect is pretty terrible, so sure.

4.What additional typing Serperior can have?

Dragon, Dark and Psychic are options. Poison, Flying and Normal are lesser options.

How to improve: 417: Pachirisu

1.Stats: Should Pachirisu get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

4.What additional typing Diggersby can have?

2.Should Linoone get more abilities?

Huge Power or Speed Boost, either make Linoone broken or give it a wasteful Ability.

3. Should Linoone get more moves?

2.Should Tyranitar get more abilities?

Literally anything can work.

Drain Punch, Poison Fang, Poison Tail, Psychic Fangs, Metal Claw and Crush Claw are probably some of the options, but Tyranitar has tons of old moves.

Literally any type is possible for Tyranitar, but Ground like its previous stages, Steel, Fighting and Dragon would be the main options.

How to improve: 702: Dedenne

1.Stats: Should Dedenne get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Dedenne can get at most +119 BST, however Dedenne already has 431 BST which is close to the highest Pikaclone BST, Togedemaru's 435 BST.

Dedenne would love an Evolution, but since Pikachu exists, it is unlikely that there will be a Pikaclone with an evolution. However, Dedenne's BST is high enough to varrant only one Evolution. A Mega would be worthless and pointless, especially now that Tapu Koko exists.

Yes. Lightningrod, Electric Surge, Misty Surge, Volt Absorb, Motor Drive, Static, Friend Guard, Technician, Competitive etc. etc. etc.

3. Should Dedenne get more moves?

2.Should Mandibuzz get more abilities?

Mandibuzz can get another Ability like Prankster or Intimidate, but its current Abilities are fine-ish.

3. Should Mandibuzz get more moves?

More Fire-type and Ground-type Special moves would be good. More Status moves would be good like Simple Beam and Entrainment.

4.What additional typing Mandibuzz can have?

Normal, Rock, Steel, Fire, Ground and Ghost are options. Fighting is also another option.

How to improve: 517-518: Munna-Musharna

1.Stats: Should Musharna get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Musharna can get +53 BST. Its 487 BST is comparable to Hypno's 483 BST, so any buffs should be either in parallel or Musharna must be associated with another species.

Musharna would prefer an Evolution over a Mega, but as a Stone Evolution this seems unlikely.

Musharna would love side evolutions.

2.Should Musharna get more abilities?

While Musharna already has three Abilities all of them except Synchronize are terrible, so something like Magic Guard or a unique Ability utilizing Dream Mist would be good.

3. Should Musharna get more moves?

Musharna would love Recover or Slack Off, outside of this Draining Kiss, Moonblast and more Fairy moves would be good.

4.What additional typing Musharna can have?

Fairy, Ghost, Grass are the obvious options, but Normal, Dark, Electric, Rock and even Steel are options as well.

How to improve: 037-038: Vulpix-Ninetales

1.Stats: Should Ninetales get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Ninetales can get at most +35 BST. But Ninetales would want +50 BST to match its counterpart Arcanine.

Ninetales could have worked with a Porygon-Z style evolution, but a mid-evo or pre-evo for Vulpix with stat buffs to Vulpix would probably be better.

A Mega would be nice and useful.

2.Should Ninetales get more abilities?

Yes. Competitive or Solar Power would be nice.

3. Should Ninetales get more moves?

Regular Ninetales would enjoy Fairy moves but Calm Mind and Slack Off should be the main options.

4.What additional typing Ninetales can have?

Psychic, Ghost, Dark, Normal are the main and only options. Ground is a possibility though would require Physical stats.

How to improve. 043-044-182: Oddish-Gloom-Bellossom

1.Stats: Should Bellossom get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Bellossom can get +50 BST at most, and had already got +10 BST in Gen 6.

Bellossom would love a Fairy side-evo. A Mega would be useless without a second buff.

2.Should Bellossom get more abilities?

Yes. Bellossom only has two Abilities, so anything from Prankster to Dancer to Grassy Surge would work.

3. Should Bellossom get more moves?

Yes. Bellossom's movepool is disgustingly bad, so anything would redeem it. Some basic moves would be Punching moves, Nasty Plot, Draining Kiss and Play Rough.

4.What additional typing Bellossom can have?

It was part-Poison in the GSC beta, so that could work. Outside of it, Fairy, Normal, Dark and Fighting are the only real options.

How to improve: 111-112-464: Rhyhorn-Rhydon-Rhyperior

1.Stats: Should Rhyperior get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Fighting, Normal and Dark are options. Dragon, Steel and Fire/Electric/Ice/Water are also options, but theoretically Rhyhorn-line can get any type.

How to improve: 690-691: Skrelp-Dragalge

1.Stats: Should Dragalge get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Dragalge can get +46 BST.

Dragalge would work well with a Magmortar style evolution. A Mega would be interesting, but Naganadel would still overshadow it so it would a gimmick to differentiate itself.

2.Should Dragalge get more abilities?

Swift Swim and Mega Launcher would be good. Water Veil could work if it gets Dragon Dance.

3. Should Dragalge get more moves?

Yes. Moonblast, Acid Spray, Clear Smog, Smog, Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse and Calm Mind would work really well. Recover is also another good option.

4.What additional typing Dragalge can have?

Outside of this, Dark, Ice and Electric are options. Fairy, Ghost and Steel can also work.

Farfetch'd can get +163 BST at most. Farfetch'd also already got a +25 BST.

Farfetch'd would work best with two Evolutions, as a Mega would be nonsensical with its unique item, Stick. Maybe bring back Madame from 1997 Demo?

2.Should Farfetch'd get more abilities?

Super Luck maybe? Permacrit sounds nice. Gale Wings can also work, so can Unburden.

3. Should Farfetch'd get more moves?

Psycho Cut, Sacred Sword and Close Combat bruh. It already gets First Impression which is great, but these two would make more sense. Also give it back its older moves like Reflect.

4.What additional typing Farfetch'd can have?

Fighting, Dark and Grass are the main options. Poison and Bug are also options.

How to improve: 370. Luvdisc

1.Stats: Should Luvdisc get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Luvdisc can get +210 BST.

Luvdisc needs not one but two evolutions. It is roughly the same BST as Alolan starters' first forms. Anything else is worthless, even a cool Schooling form.

2.Should Luvdisc get more abilities?

Well, it can have a point with Drizzle, but that's it.

3. Should Luvdisc get more moves?

Yes. But it will still suck so it will only be good for Egg Chains. Just dump all the Fairy and Psychic-type moves to Luvdisc, like how all Psychic moves are dumped onto Spinda.

4.What additional typing Luvdisc can have?

Ice, Fairy, Psychic and Normal are the only options.

How to improve: 258-259-260: Mudkip-Marshtomp-Swampert

Drain Punch and Regenerator are the main options, but Bulk Up would be good as well. Elemental Fangs and other Fang moves would be good too.

4.What additional typing Swampert can have?

Fighting, Rock and Poison are options. Ice is also an option. Psychic and Dark are theoretically options, but they are not fully developed.

How to improve: 674-675: Pancham-Pangoro

1.Stats: Should Pangoro get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Pangoro can get at most +45 BST, but would work best with +10 BST to match Beartic.

Pangoro can have a Magmortar style evolution, but a Mega would be just sufficient.

2.Should Pangoro get more abilities?

Sheer Force  and Technician would be good, but Pangoro is otherwise fine.

3. Should Pangoro get more moves?

Slack Off would be good, so would Mach Punch. But that's kinda it for now. Close Combat would make it extremely useful, so would Power Trip but they probably wouldn't give these Pangoro.

4.What additional typing Pangoro can have?

Rock, Normal, Poison and Ground are options, but Pangoro can be any type really.

How to improve: 323-354: Shuppet-Banette

1.Stats: Should Banette get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Banette can get +85 BST.

Banette really should've gotten an Evolution in Sinnoh, but it didn't so, a Specially offensive side Mega maybe?

2.Should Banette get more abilities?

Competitive seems good. Prankster for base Banette would be interesting as well. Banette isn't really a Physical Pokémon even if it has higher Attack, so anything that will buff its more logical Special side would work.

3. Should Banette get more moves?

Yes. If GameFreak is serious about making Banette a Physical Pokémon, they should give it Punching moves and moves like Low Kick, Low Sweep and Swords Dance. Otherwise give it Nasty Plot. It works thematically.

4.What additional typing Banette can have?

Dark, Electric and Psychic are the main options. Fire, Normal, Fairy and Poison make thematic sense, but none of them are fully developed in Banette's movepool.

How to improve: 095-208: Onix-Steelix

1.Stats: Should Steelix get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Steelix can get +30 BST.

Steelix would prefer an Onix pre-evo than an Evolution, which is probably impossible due to its Mega. Steelix would enjoy a side-evo with a different gimmick, because its design is fairly iconic enough to be changed around.

2.Should Steelix get more abilities?

Clear Body maybe? Steelix has the Abilities it needs for now.

3. Should Steelix get more moves?

Coil and Slack Off. That's it really. Other moves from past can come back, but these two are the main options.

4.What additional typing Steelix can have?

Steelix can go back to being Rock like Onix.

Jokes aside, Dragon, Dark, Fire are the main options, and Normal and Fire can be esoteric options.

How to improve: 019-020: Rattata-Raticate

1.Stats: Should Raticate get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Raticate can get +127 BST, but would work best with a +10 BST.

Raticate would work best with an Evolution, a Mega would be a waste.

2.Should Raticate get more abilities?

Huge Power is the only relevant Ability it can get. Anything else but potentially Speed Boost is worthless.

3. Should Raticate get more moves?

Elemental Fangs, Poison Fang, Psychic Fangs are options. More gimmicky moves and older moves would be good.

4.What additional typing Raticate can have?

Dark-type Raticate already exists thanks to Alolan Raticate.

Electric, Ice, and Fighting are lesser options, but Raticate can be any type, really.

How to improve: 222: Corsola

1.Stats: Should Corsola get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Corsola can get at most +130 BST. Corsola already got a +30 BST in SM.

Corsola would work best with an evolution and a pre-evo. A Mega would be a waste, turn this rock into another Roselia/Chansey.

2.Should Corsola get more abilities?

Probably. Solid Rock, Huge Power, Competitive, Swift Swim are options.

3. Should Corsola get more moves?

Yes. More Psychic moves like Psyshock and more moves like Hex would work.

4.What additional typing Corsola can have?

Psychic, Ice, Steel, Ground, Dark and Normal are options. Fairy also makes thematic sense.

How to improve: 661-662-663: Fletchling-Fletchinder-Talonflame

1.Stats: Should Talonflame get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Talonflame can get +41 BST.

Talonflame would love a special side-evo and a Mega Pidgeot style Mega.

2.Should Talonflame get more abilities?

Probably. Gale Wings is now effectively worthless, so Drought or Flash Fire would work better. Speed Boost is an option as a replacement for original Gale Wings, though.

3. Should Talonflame get more moves?

Yep. Talonflame is a fairly new species so it would enjoy anything it gets. Largely Dark-type moves and Hurricane/Boomburst would make sense though, as Talonflame has usable Special Attack (usable for an early bird, that is). Reversal, Close Combat and Jump Kick are also options. Clawing moves should also be considered.

4.What additional typing Talonflame can have?

Dark, Steel and Normal are options. Fighting makes thematic sense, but Talonflame only has Quick Guard.

How to improve: 546-547: Cottonee-Whimsicott

1.Stats: Should Whimsicott get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Whimsicott can get +60 BST.

Whimsicott would work best with either an evolution or  mid-evo with +20 BST buff to match other early Grass-type families. A Mega as it is wouldn't work so well.

2.Should Whimsicott get more abilities?

Not really, but Leaf Guard and Misty/Grassy Surge are options. Whimsicott really wants a re-buff of Confusion, not really a new Ability.

3. Should Whimsicott get more moves?

Probably. Simple Beam, Entrainment, Torment, Sweet Kiss etc. would all be good. Whimsicott is not particularly offensive so it would enjoy a bunch of status moves.

4.What additional typing Whimsicott can have?

Flying, Psychic and Dark are the main options. Normal and Poison are also options.

How to improve: 538: Throh

1.Stats: Should Throh get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Throh can get +75 BST at most.

Throh would work best with an evolution and a shared pre-evo with Sawk. A Mega feels like a waste.

2.Should Throh get more abilities?

Not really, but Iron Fist and Sturdy are options.

3. Should Throh get more moves?

Drain Punch and Slack Off should be considered, as Throh is a defensive Fighting-type. More Dark-type moves like Power Trip, Beat Up and Assurance should also be considered.

4.What additional typing Throh can have?

Rock, Ground and Dark are the main options, but Normal is also an option.

Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh species split into their cross-generational evolution/pre-evolutions' generations.

A speculative proposal to split Unova Pokédex into two generations

I felt Unova's Pokémon were not only derivatives of previous generations but also of each other, so I thought why don't we split them up? Each group will be around 78 Pokémon, as there are 156 species in Unova.

How to improve: 602-603-604: Tynamo-Eelektrik-Eelektross

1.Stats: Should Eelektross get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Eelektross can get +25 BST at most, which it probably should to match Gyarados and Milotic.

Eelektross would do well with a fast side-evo and would do really well with a Mega Evolution.

2.Should Eelektross get more abilities?

Yes. Strong Jaw and Tough Claws are perfect for Eelektross but Swift Swim and Electric Surge can also work. Static and Water Veil also work thematically.

3. Should Eelektross get more moves?

Yes. Recover is the main option for Eelektross, but Nasty Plot, Swords Dance, Agility, Eerie Impulse, Simple Beam, Stockpile-Spit Up-Swallow, Elemental and other Fang moves (and Leech Life), Claw moves, and punching moves would also work.

3. Should Eelektross get more moves?

Water, Dark and Dragon are the main options for Eelektross, but Fighting, Flying and Steel can also work. So can Fire and Grass.

How to improve: 527-528: Woobat-Swoobat

1.Stats: Should Swoobat get a stat boost, Evolution, Mega Evolution or nothing?

Swoobat can get +115 BST at most.

Swoobat would work best with a Crobat-style evolution. A Mega would be nonsensical.

2.Should Swoobat get more abilities?

Probably. Simple and Unaware are good abilities, but only Simple is useful for Swoobat. Unburden and Synchronize would be better abilities, so would Infiltrator.

3. Should Swoobat get more moves?

Probably. Will-O-Wisp would be good, so would Venoshock and Hex. But Swoobat is primarily a status spammer/buff sweeper, so its movepool should be full of weird options.

4.What additional typing Swoobat can have?

Dark, Normal and Electric are the only real possibilities, but Poison, Ghost and Fairy also work thematically.
