zorocario:
okay guys this is were you can tell us why your favorite pokemon got cheated

Mr. Fox:
Luxray with its paltry 70 base speed. nuff said.

Chad29:
Shuckle didn't get follow me. I think that's the move that draws attacks to it. Though power split is quite nice.

Rhyperior didn't get sand power, even though it gets stab on two out of three attack types SP raises.

Alakazam has been said to not have changed enough in an ever changing series, which has hurt it as one of the best sweepers out there.

Rock has probably been one of the most cheated types in general because they can't perform one of their main functions. They have high defense, but are weak against ground and fighting, which hit the highest number of types super effectively. Not to mention that it's tied with grass for the highest number of weaknesses. Though it is one of the best attack types out there as well.

I'm sure there are pokemon that people can think of that have nice stats and abilities, but not the movepools to back them up, or vice versa.

Solrock and Lunatone are immune to ground attacks, resistant to fire attacks, get stab super effective attacks on ice types, and are neutral against fighting while being able to pound them super effectively. They seem to be just the types to take down the most common attack types out there, but have poor stats so they're almost never used.

Camerupt got cheated. Low speed and defensive stats is never a good combination, and his signature move eruption's attack power depends on his health being high. Also his attack stats aren't fantastic either.

Sharpedo needed more speed to make up for it's poor health and almost nonexistant defenses. Then they gave it rough skin, which isn't very useful when he's only going to be one hit away from death.

I feel like Samurott got cheated out of a part fighting typing.

Luxray is kind of slow, but its other stats aren't piss poor. His physical attack is a good 120. then again, speed is supposed to be the main stat for electric types. It's not a slow bulky element.

Noah_Road:
-Scizor didn't get anything in gen 5 while many other pokemon obtained new and useful moves and abilities.

-Gardivoir got cheated because it didn't get Quiver Dance (its a pokemon known for gracefully dancing).

-Swoobat got cheated big time. It has the amazing unaware ability that would allow it to counter boosting Volcarona and Moxie Herracross but its stats are all horrible, excpet for its speed.

Chad29:
I never paid much attention to Swoobat. I think I captured one once, but wasn't too impressed with its stats. Poor Gardevoir does kind of get overshadowed, doesn't she?
