Meh. Doesn't look that specially to me.



Oooh, that's an interesting concept. I hope it gets competitive, Skairmories are a pain in competitive play, I can never quite counter them.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

this is cool and will probably be overused in competitive!! since steel types are overused (Aegislash, Klefki, Heatran almost break the game) and giving the ability to some never used old pokemon would be cool as well



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

The usage of Salandit's evolution will be determined by it's ability: IF it can also use any other poison move on Steel types (dealing damage) then it's definitely gona be OU, Fire and Poison are respectively the second and third type with the highest number of resistances so it's gona be really good with  

x1/2 Fighting, Poison, Ice, Fire, Steel;

x1/4 Grass Bug Fairy

I wonder if Aegi will drop in OU given the presence of Salandit in the metagame...

"Salandit females not only release toxic gases, they can also emit pheromones that attract males of all species, including Pokémon and humans."

.....What!? xD



GameFreak is literally looking at the meta and thinking "Haha, not anymore"



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

What indeed. That seems an ability a plant pokemon would have, not a poison one. And why would it develop that ability? What would be used for?

Also, just imagine this thing on a daycare. The chaos that would ensue...
