I can see it being used, yeah, but it's just not my type of PKMN, really. Admittedly it's not the typing, I have to be honest there, and now I'll probably sound cliché, but cutesy PKMN aren't my steelo. EDIT: That darn numbering is the only thing that keeps me guessing. Maybe it has to do with its quite misleading classification...

Unless I'm missing something...but Fire Fang? EDIT: Scratch that. I didn't knew Fire Fang could hit through WG. Nifty.

I just want to make sure I got that: Cooler doesn't fit a Fighting typing?

My interest on Victini has plummeted; the only thing that's keeping my eyes on it is the fact it's #000 in the PokéDex. We'll see what "Victory Star" does, but I doubt it'll redeem the typing. And by the way, it kind of makes sense now--other than the fact they always make this stupid, cute-looking critters Psychic--the word victory is sometimes associated with fire. Perfect example is in some animes whenever a character accomplishes something or some sort of other endeavor, the character usually makes a victory pose with brimming fire on the background. Plus, stars can also be hot. EDIT: Although, ironically, stars that have a reddish glow are said to be cold; however, Victini's eyes are blue, and stars that have a blueish glow are said to be hot.

About time the Caterpie of this Gen showed up...

Why not? I was listening to this a couple of hours ago.

They say hi.

If anything a Cooler-like PKMN will work best as Dragon/Fighting, as was discussed--I can't see it work as Dragon/Psychic. Actually, Dragon/Psychic is the least combination I'm looking forward to. Well, obviously.

That was already shown in another thread...

Well yeah, that's what I meant--guess I should've added an extra line saying "or in whatever other [type of] Poké Ball you caught it" (although it was implied).

Yes.

I trained and used a Raticate in several occasions and it actually proved its worth. Granted, its no Swellow or Ursaring, but it can still get the job done. They're funny-looking more than anything, really. So, all I'm saying is don't judge a book by its cover.

Thinking about it, it being a Ghost-type is possible, and not just because it's classified as a phantom, but mostly because it resembles a fairy or pixie. Lores about fairies and pixies are far and wide, but some suggest that they are ghostly figures. Fairies in particular are said to be part of the dead, often impersonating deceased relatives. Another interesting detail is that banshees, also spirits, are sometimes associated with fairies, and in fact, banshee would translate to "fairy woman" in both Irish and Scottish. Maybe we're all trying too hard deciphering this dumb-looking thing and the simple truth is that we're finally seeing how Missingno. really looks like. Maybe. This is so outlandish... Just by looking at it it's kind of obvious. Exactly my point. I can see it having Levitate.

I'm pretty sure that "totem pole looking rat" is the evolved form of Minezumi (Bidoof's pissed off cousin).
