OMGWTFBR'SBACK. Yeah, it's me. You all missed me. Now, prepare for greatness as Vespiquen steps up to the writer's....um...well....DAMMIT! Anyway, Vespiquen is the best new Bug-type this generation, with three moves that are unique to her, and amazing defensive capabilities. It's a shame they don't really help against her weaknesses.  #416 - Vespiquen Type - Bug/Flying Beehive Pokemon Height - 3'11" Weight - 84.9 lbs. Trait: Pressure: Makes PP usage two instead of one. Evolution Chain Evolves from a Female Combee at Level 21 Availability: Diamond, Pearl Vespiquen, like all good final-stage bugs, can't be found in the wild. However, you can get a Combee from the Honey Trees all over Sinnoh, and since Combee is the most common Pokemon from said trees, this won't take as long as you think it will. Moveset: Trait: Pressure Item: Quick Claw/Bright Powder Stats: HP: 344 Attack: 259 Defense: 303 Special Attack: 259 Special Defense: 303 Speed: 179 Attack Order Defend Order Heal Order Toxic/Power Gem/Confuse Ray/Aerial Ace/Sludge Bomb/Protect ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright, let's look at Vespiquen. She appears to be a tank of sorts. And then we look at her speed. Her 179 speed. Hell, even Octillery's faster than her! The only real Pokemon she outspeeds is Magcargo, which you're not gonna see used too much. Oh well. As stated earlier, Vespiquen has THREE moves available to her only. The first, and probably most useful, is Attack Order. Naturally, a move with 90 base power and STAB is going to be handy in battle. Of course, its type, along with Vespiquen's speed, don't really warrant it to be a good move. Well, there's always UU... Defend Order is next on our list of moves. This move increases both of Vespiquen's defenses by one. This has uses, especially if you can get multiple uses off, but, like with Attack Order, suffers because of Vespiquen's speed. However, that's where the third move comes in. Heal Order is Vespiquen's salvation. The bug version of Recover, This can draw out a fight even longer than it should be. However, Vespiquen's speed makes predicting when to use it even harder than it should be. I generally use it at about seventy-five to fifty percent health for maximum usage. Toss-up spot! Vespiquen's last spot can go to virtually any move she can learn. Toxic helps with stalling, even moreso with Defend/Heal Order. Power Gem is a nice special addition to Vespiquen's attacks. Confuse Ray is here for...well, being the best move ever. Aerial Ace is a nice physical attack when you don't want to take the chance of Attack Order missing. Sludge Bomb is fun, and since not many Pokemon have a use for it, you might as well use it on someone who needs it. Protect, like Toxic, helps with the annoyance. Vespiquen NEEDS the Quick Claw to survive. She's not gonna be getting anywhere with her piddling 179 Speed anytime soon. Although, if I had to tote around a giant beehive where my legs should be, I wouldn't be going anywhere, either. Any logical alternate moves that could go here were thrown out the window when I typed that Fifth paragraph. I imagine Swagger, Captivate, and Destiny Bond could find some use here and there, though. Vespiquen is awesome. She's the best Bug Pokemon to come out of this generation, possibly tied with Yanmega. Anyway, I need to make some posts in this forum, so join me tomorrow for another Pokemon Of The Day! |
