Armaldo, The Plate Pokémon.
It went ashore after evolving. Its entire body is clad in a sturdy armor.Its enormous, retractable claws can cut through most anything. Its entire body is clad in sturdy plates. Its tough armor makes all attacks bounce off. Its two enormous claws can be freely extended or contracted. They have the power to punch right through a steel slab. It usually lives on land. However, when it hunts for prey, it dives beneath the ocean. It swims around using its two large wings.
Overview
Poor Armaldo. It can Swords Dance, Rock Polish, Curse, Rain Dance sweep, Stealth Rock support and Rapid Spin. The problem is that every single one of those things is done better by another Pokemon. Its a shame because Armaldo is so cool looking, and its pre-evolution Anorith is based off the Anomalocaris which easily the most horrifying yet adorable form of ancient life ever (Google it!). Its stats are solid overall, except its pathetic speed. The problem mainly stems from Armaldo's terrible typing. Rock / Bug is one of the worst typing you could ever have... comparable to even Flying / Bug. It leaves Armaldo with just resistances to Normal and Poison, both rarely used offensive types. It is weak to Water, Rock and Steel, all common attacking types (well, not so much Steel). Armaldo's great Attack stat and solid movepool are completely ruined by the terrible typing, and that everything Armaldo does something else does better. To try and use Armaldo in standard is almost suicide but in the Neverused tier Armaldo has some uses. More because of a lack of better options there, however Armaldo is a passable offensive Rapid Spinner (its rival spinners are Delibird and Spinda... not much competition). It is also usable on Rain teams to help check Grass types with X-Scissor.
Siliconera will begin its detailed hands-on coverage of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y later today, but in the meantime, The Pokémon Company has released information on two more Pokémon in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. The two new monsters in question are Aromatisse and Slurpuff. Check them out below.
Last month, Nintendo revealed a new cloud service for their Pokémon RPGs, dubbed Pokémon Bank. As previously detailed, this will be a downloadable app for the Nintendo 3DS that will allow you to upload Pokémon from the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games to the Internet. It will launch in the U.S. on December 27th.
When Pokémon shifted locales from Unova to Kalos, geography wasn’t the only aspect of the game that underwent a change. In fact, while many of the changes in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y appear minor, they all add something, from atmosphere to customization to convenience and improved flow of the game.
Every Pokémon generation has given us something new, not just with the Pokémon themselves or with gameplay, but also in terms of visual quality and the effects that can have on the game. This generation’s Pokémon X and Pokémon Y have made the most enormous leap of all—into 3D—and this brings its own set of improvements.
With the introduction of 3D animated models to Pokémon, battles in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y have certainly become flashier. In fact, they’ve become downright reminiscent of Pokémon Stadium, Colosseum, and Battle Revolution, down to the attacks and fainting animations. Having not played those games in a long time, it was an unintended trip down nostalgia lane for me.
Ferrothorn was easily the best non-legendary Pokemon to come from Black & White. Havin stellar defenses, a good typing, an amazing movepool with moves like Stealth Rock, Spikes, Leech Seed, and so forth, making it one of the best support Pokemon in the entire game. Although weak to common Fighting and Fire moves, most of the time Ferrothorn is able to shrug them off, lay hazards, hurt the opponent with Iron Barbs, or cripple them. The only problems with Ferrothorn are its dismally low Speed, and no reliable recovery, but it makes up for these shortcomings by being the best defensive pivot in OU (if not the game).
