Better looking psychic/water fish than Bruxish, for sure. It's gimmick of shedding excess flesh is cool, but you don't get to see it enough and without it it kind of is just a basic looking fishmon, which is not great as that's one of the more boring catagories of pokemon.
I like it but it's just kind of a fish. I feel the same about kilowattrel, I'm fine with it and think it's a good bird but I feel bird fans would appreciate it far more
It's really a bit too fragile for it's signature ability to be reliably worth it, even if the concept of a hybrid offensive/speed boost alternative of belly drum is kinda neat the thing just folds to any damage. It definitely can outpace a lot of pokemon and dent anything that doesn't resist it with sharpness boosted aqua cutter/night slash w/a damage boosting item once it's set up though.
it's not a good pokemon design period. it's an overly safe "marketable" looking abomination despite the fact that they could've instead made an actual anglerfish
& also to answer your question, "good representation of a real life animal" is often an important criteria for a good pokemon design in my opinion. if it's based on a specific animal then it should either be a good representation of what makes said animal unique or a fun twist on the common tropes of the animal.
They should've made it so Fillet Away is a permanent form change until the battle ends. The "fleshless" design is pretty cool but you can only see it for half a second.
>annoying as frick >actually good design and shiny
Not going to use one ever, but it's acceptable enough as an actual fishmon, given it looks more like a real fish than most fishmon do.
The fish can eat shit for all I care
psychic fish is ok. I don't dislike or like it
She's trying her hardest, that's what I think.
im proud of her
Barraskewda was better
I always immediately think of Star Fox for SNES whenever I see it.
It sure is a fish
Emergency food 2
the epitome of a pokemon that looks like it was developed in 3D first, within 30 minutes using a bunch of mostly simple triangle shapes
it looks so bland in 3D

it looks like they made a paradox form of barraskewda, then dropped it last minute and re-purposed it
Probably the best foodmon we have gotten since Slowpoke
Coincidentally they're both Water/Psychic
How am I supposed to know this stupid looking fish is part Psychic?
the pink
Veluza has psychic blades all over its body.
Very, very interesting premise, but it's not really explored enough or properly represented in the gameplay.
I want one, looks cool

Crazy ass fish. Scares the shit outta me when one of these bastards charges at me in the water.
9/10, good mon
I like that you can eat the pieces of flesh that it cuts off. Would be Avery useful Pokémon to have around.
hate that it charges so fast only to have like base 70 speed or something
It likes to vault
secret parappa the rapper boss
bane of everybody who trains at the lake's existence
cool body and face ugly fins
neat concept
unfortunately built around a worse shell smash for a signature move

So unremarkable it manages to stay remarkable by being so unremarkable.
should learn autotomize
Worthy enough to get the based ability, so he cool like the other three

The fins are transparent?
The underside is a lighter gray?
I couldn't tell any of that ingame.
shoudl be still/psychic not water but gamefreak is so lazy shit
Garbage. Is there a single non-boring fish pokemon? Lanturn?
>Lanturn Liker wants to talk shit about other fish Pokemon
It's not even a decent representation of angler fish.
Since fricking when has “good representation of a real-life animal” ever been a criterion for good pokemon design?
My phrasing implied it was bad besides the fact it wasn't even a good angler fish. Even compared to Chinchou it's a massive downgrade.

Criteria is the plural of criterion
I still can't fathom how it isn't part steel.
Favorite fish pokemon and helped me win so many games. Watching every Unaware user get fricked by Veluza is just great.
They should've made it so Fillet Away is a permanent form change until the battle ends. The "fleshless" design is pretty cool but you can only see it for half a second.

shoulda been water/steel, this gen has so many metallic mons that aren't steel type and we need another empoleon too
Empolon is still dexcut. Water/Steel too scary.
Literally my mom's battle network virus
The "skinning itself alive" gimmick makes me love it though I wish it was in that state more often. It's like Typhlosion's flames all over again.
should've been steel psychic
