Why did they make anything like Marshadow?
Why?
Its stats speak of game devs that know exactly what they were doing, but that can't be the case, because oh my god what are you doing.
Gamefreak employee #1: Guys remember when we created Meloetta Pirouette?
Gamefreak employee #2: Yes, that mon is so broken, lets make it usable
And thats how they create BM-03, a group of 3 broken mon consisting of Mega Loppuny, Meloetta Piroiuette, and Marshadow who works the exact same way because fuck creativity and interesting movepool and stats when you can make braindead fast physical 120 BP spammer with Ice coverage for the billionth time
Shitposting aside, lately i've been facing against some BB Greninja and really i can't think off any other mon in the meta right now that is as troublesome as that(aside from Stall match up). Even before transforming, it hits surprisingly hard because of how powerful Hydro Pump is to begin with, and post transformation, Water Shuriken become essentially Technician Boosted Priority off 153 Special Attack which is extremely good
It would be somewhat funny if BB vs Protean ended up being separated and somehow both got banned because lol
