Razor-987 : You never actually said what Pokemon so I guess I'll just rate Houndoom as well.

Personally I've never really wanted to use Houndoom, the whole cerberus design concept just feels kind of overdone to me I suppose. Statistically it's alright across the board and has a fairly good special attack being at 110 but that 50 defense is puny and make it so most physical attackers competetively will be able to one hit it. And that special defense isn't the best either, generally it's an okay Pokemon I suppose as long as you can get it to hit hard and fast before being hit itself.

Next Pokemon to rate will be Wigglytuff.

Out of all the pokemon that require a moon stone to evolve, Wigglytuff is probably my favorite. Moon Stone pokemon don't tend to be very good in battle though, which is the case with Wigglytuff. Other than it's high HP, it doesn't have any other standout stats that make Wigglytuff worth using. It has some decent moves and can learn a decent variety of TM's, but it's lackluster stats hurt Wigglytuff's usability. I'm giving Wigglytuff a 4.

Next pokemon to rate is Hitmonchan.

Hitmonchan - It's Jackie Chan! Or something. It has meh stats and a meh moveset. 5/10

Next to rate is Deino* from the 5th generation

*(Dino Brewster from Need for Speed movie?)

Being completely honest here, the Hydreigon evolution line is my absolute favorite line of evolution simply because Hydreigon is my favorite pokemon. Aside from this, deino has a lot of potential. 

Being a first stage evolution pokemon, it's stats aren't that amazing which is to be expected. It has below average stats in everything with a base 65 attack and base 52 Hp. On the downside deino suffers from a 4x weakness to fairy types, and it also has a low speed stat, not to mention, you will have deino until it evolves at level 50. It does however get access to some great moves such as dragon rage, dragon rush and outrage. 


Overall, it is worth the effort to get a powerful Hydreigon, therefore I give Deino a 6.5/10. Next pokemon to rate is Escavalier. 

I kind of like Escavalier, I don't use it that much but It's cool with a bug type knight-ish Pokemon, it can counter a lot of psychic types and has that pretty monstrous 135 attack and has fairly good defenses both being above 100 which I like since it can both dish out and take some damage. Unfortunately it is extremely slow and doesn't have the widest movepool and it has the same problem Scizor has since it's bug/steel which means against fire type moves it's bye bye escavalier.

And ugh that evolution method means it's a pain to evolve as well in my opinion.

Overall I suppose I'd rate it 7/10

Next Pokemon to rate will be, Shucklor- I mean Shuckle.

Shuckle has incredible defense and special defense stats, but it has some of the worst speed attack, and special attack stats in Pokemon history. Shuckle's only meant to be a tank, nothing more. Since damaging opponents with this thing is useless without using toxic, I'm giving Shuckle a 5. An amazing tank, but a worthless attacker.

The next pokemon to rate is Grumpig.

Grumpig is one of the worst psychic types ever it has awful stats compared to Gardevoir and it's stats are really bad. I would never use Grumpig on my team. 2 is the score it gets.

The next pokemon to rate is Avalugg.

Avalugg barely has any special defense and it's speed is downright awful. Gen 6 definitely is the worst generation for ice types because this is the only evolved form it got. Avalugg has high attack and defense, but it's other stats are downright awful. Overall, Avalugg deserves a 1 for being useless.

The next pokemon to rate is Volcarona.

I have a little bit of a bias here, but simply being a Gen 6 Pokemon is enough for me to dock points away from Volcarona. Not to mention it doesn't look intimidating at all, despite being pretty strong. I rate it a 6 out of 10.

The next Pokemon to rate is the guy in my profile pic, Eevee.

Volcarona is a pretty interesting Pokemon having a pretty unique typing in Bug/Fire only shared by Heatmor I think. And has pretty good stats all around besides having low attack which is okay since it's mainly a special attacker, but also low defence which is really it's main weakness.

It's coverage isn't the widest but it does have some pretty interesting and unique moves in Quiver Dance which can help with turning into a special tank and sweeper at the same time as well as Fiery Dance which can help make it even more potent if you're not unlucky unfortunately that last one isn't learned until LEVEL 100. It's kind of ridicolous since that makes it not viable at all ingame.

Unfortunately that 4x rock weakness, it's low defense and the fact that most rock moves are physical makes it so it's almost guaranteed to get defeated by most rock Pokemon, and there's also the fact that it can be kind of hard to get evolving pretty late at level 59, which I think is actually the latest besides Hydreigon and even then at least Hydreigon has a mid stage. It's also pretty hard to catch almost as hard as a legendary Pokemon so there's that...

Overall I'd probably rate it 8/10.

Next Pokemon to rate will be Shelgon, on it's own that is excluding the fact that it evoles into Salamence. Good luck

On its own, I wouldn't say that Shelgon isn't exactly powerful, but the design is really cool and I like that about this Pokemon so my grade is going to be a 6/10.

The next Pokemon to rate will be Fennekin.

Fennekin is the second best starter in Kalos. It's evolved form Delphox is a fire/psychic, which is way better than making another overdone fire/fighting type. Fennekin has bad attack and defense, but good sp att, sp def, and speed, as I expected it would. It has a decent moveset too. I say that Fennekin deserves a 6.

The next pokemon to rate will be Greninja.

Greninja's too good, and needs to be nerfed. Greninja has very good stats, leading with a high speed that along with Protean, allows him to be deadly. He can set up regular spikes and toxic spikes, and with Protean, his type can change depending on what move he uses. I really like his design as well, and definitely my favorite design from all of gen 6's starters. I'll give him a 9/10. 

The next Pokémon to rate is Combee.

Combee on it's own is pretty weak, it's only even average stat is it's speed all it's other stats suck, it has access to one decent move in Bug Buzz and that's really about it. This is what you get if you decide to only raise a male Combee... Probably worthy of a 2/10.

If you raise a female Combee though you can evolve it into Vespiquen. It's not the most powerful bug Pokemon but it is actually viable unlike Combee. On the downside the speed takes a cut and it becomes pretty slow but it gains great defensive stats and pretty decent offensive stats too, though it isn't that great.

It also gains access to some signature moves in attack order, heal order and defense order. Granted heal order is basically recover and defense order is basically recover but it's still cool and fits the whole beehive queen theme. And attack order is a fairly potent move for ingame usage more so than Bug buzz. Doesn't have that much coverage besides also having access to air slash and power gem. So really it isn't the greatest Pokemon but if looking for a bug type ingame this should do just fine (though female Combee's are kind of hard to get a hold off in the DPP) but competetively it will probably struggle. All in all I'd rate it a 6/10.

Next Pokemon to rate is Chesnaught

OMG, one of my least favorite starters ever, this should be fun! Chesnaught has one of the strangest designs ever. It goes from being a cute Chespin to looking like a robot. I don't understand the design choice at all. Why do you want a furry little critter to eventually look like a robot? I don't think I'll ever understand. It's type is also a problem, grass/fighting has a ton of weaknesses, including 4x weakness to flying type moves. It's speed is atrocious, and it's special defense isn't very good either. Chesnaught is by far the worst fully evolved starter from gen 6 as well as one of the worst in pokemon history. Chesnaught gets a 2 from me because I think Torterra is worse.

Next pokemon to rate is Torterra.

gamerforlifeforever2 : So are you telling us to rate Torterea? I don't really like Torterra all that much, I really do like its evolution line and all but as an individual Pokemon, its probably my least favorite of all the Pokemon in the grass starter line. It's not entirely strong and it doesn't even look that great so my grade is going to be a 4/10

Next to rate is Migthyena.

   Mightyena has some things that could really make him a threat, like Moxie, which could let him come in to take out a weak Pokémon, and grow stronger from the kill, and with Sucker Punch, is able to make up a bit for his speed which holds him back, and also can learn Play Rough to cover himself from dragon types. However, his stats just aren't good enough for me to like him. His attack just isn't very good before Moxie kicks in, at least not good enough for being a Pokémon without any real tanking abilities, or even the option of outspeeding opponents. His movepool isn't very good either. I'll give him a 3/10. He's just not a Pokémon I really like.

The next Pokémon to rate is Sylveon.

Sylveon is a decent fairy type. It has high special defense and special attack, however, it's other stats are very poor. There are way better fairy types out there, and that's saying a lot since there aren't that many fairy type pokemon around yet. Overall, Sylveon is definitely not one of the best eeveelutions out there. I'm giving Sylveon a 4 out of 10.

The next pokemon to rate is Dragalge.

Dragalge looks pretty intimidating. A poisonous sea horse that's also a dragon? Yes.

It looks like he's good in special defence so he can take a lot of hits.
6.5/10

The next pokemon to rate is Cacturne.

When I think of a useful grass type pokemon, very few choices pop into my head. Cacturne is definitely NOT one of those pokemon. It has really bad defense, special defense, and speed. It has a very lackluster moveset, though it can learn, grass, poison, dark, normal and fighting moves, but other than that, you won't find any other good moves to teach it. It's type is another reason why you should stay away from it. When a pokemon has the grass/dark type, you know it's going to have a ton of weaknesses. 4x weakness to bug, as well as it being weak to Fire, Ice, Poison, Flying, Fighting, and Fairy types. When a pokemon has that many weaknesses, it's almost completely useless, no matter what it's stats are like. Overall, Cacturne's design is pretty cool, with it being a cactus and all, but it's type, stats, and mediocre moveset prevent Cacturne from being a useful pokemon on your journey. Cacturne gets a 3 out of 10 from me.

The next pokemon to rate is Linoone.
