    I'm pretty sure it showed up in a Looney Tunes episode

    not a lot of people refer to condors when they're talking about vultures

    they just say vulture

    sorry I'm not up on my ornithology!

    well it gets that dream world ability that reverses stat changes

    which combos well with leaf storm

    otherwise it's a decent subseeder

    ludicolo is a way better one, but yeah

    this thing could be really cool, especially on a sunny day team

    sleep powder, Butterfly Dance on the switch, fuck up bitches with solarbeam

    only real downside is that it can't do much to stuff that resists grass

    could use Stun Spore or Swagger to force them out though

    Right, the leaf storm combo is pretty sweet, but most if not all but one, of it's special attacks are grass, which isn't that great of an offensive type. maybe fully buffed with leaf storm he could do some harm, buut, kinda don't think it will work.

    you switch it in on a special attacker that it resists

    Mean Look

    Sub, leech seed. Chill out and heal for a spell

    when you're ready, mirror coat it to hell and back

    or replace sub with leaf storm if you want a little more versatility

    none of the starters are actually that great in the big picture

    infernape or now, blaziken are still the go to fire starters, empoleon is still king of water, and, well, grass is not that great all around but my guess would be torterra simply for the addition of a ground type

    still, fire pig has some neat options, which is why I like him over grass snake thing and water shell dude

    well, share its ability more like

    Infernape is better than Blaziken in every way in Gen IV

    Gen V Blaziken wins because of Speed Boost

    Fire pig might not be the best fire starter but with reckless and his high physical attack and hp stats i think he can lay down some hurt.

    Also Torterra isn't that great from my experiences. ice beam just ruins him too much. and every team has ice beam and everyone knows ice beam is going to be a 1 hit ko. Which sucks, Torterra is a boss.

    Did we ever get confirmation on whether it's one or two stages of speed and attack?
