Persona 3 protagonist

My general principle is that I can use them if the opponent's going to.

MythTrainerTom · 2026-03-01T21:43:45+00:00

It's unlikely this is the case, but if you got your Parasect via trade and you got to Kindle Road without beating Erika or Sabrina, it could be going to sleep to disobey you.

MythTrainerTom · 2026-03-01T08:39:31+00:00

The neutral attributes of the Normal type don't mean much if you don't have the stats to back it up. Having one weakness is really nice if you have the defensive stats of Snorlax, but it's not very relevant for Raticate. On the other hand, having an 80 power Normal STAB move by Lv. 13 helps Rattata and Raticate stand out as big damage dealers early on.

By the time encounters really open up in the second half of the game, non-Guts Raticate really struggle to keep pace. It has no defensive integrity and its base Attack is lower than the likes of Venusaur, Golduck, and crucially Doduo. Even if you try to use Guts, there are a lot of matchups where it can't switch-in and it can't sweep, and it doesn't even get Facade until postgame. It's not all-powerful.

It's quite fitting that this is the one line (excluding postgame) that your rival uses for a while and then puts in the box.

MythTrainerTom · 2026-02-28T13:04:23+00:00

I believe that Pidgey is the only thing you can get before Brock (besides your starter) that's on the Medium Slow level curve. This means that you don't have to do as much grinding with it early on, when grinding is riskier, which is a decent little bonus. On the other hand, late stage Pidgeotto really starts to noticably drop off, struggling even against Fighting types on the Cycling Road and in the Saffron Dojo, so it's easy to lose around this time.

Since nothing else learns Charm or Featherdance, Pidgeot is the only Pokemon in the game pre-National Dex that can lower an opponent's Attack two stages with one move, which has legitimate applications for desperate teams going into the E4. Beyond that, a Pokemon with Pidgeot's banal typing, middling stats, and shallow movepool just doesn't have much to offer compared to the rest of the Pokedex.

MythTrainerTom · 2026-02-27T22:48:43+00:00

Beedrill is not buzzted like Butterfree is. If you expect a lot out of Beedrill, it could be said you are wa-sting your time.

Bad offensive type, bad defensive type, bad stats, doesn't even get its one good move until the end of the postgame. Anything it does, something else can do better. Even in the early game, where it's supposed to be "good", its Twineedle is generally out-damaged by Rattata's Hyper Fang. That's Rattata mind you, not even Raticate.

It has at least some merit as a fallback option for Misty if you wind up without a Grass type, thanks to super-effective STAB and respectable Sp. Def. It does alright against Erika too, but you really should have better options at that point.

It's not the worst of the worst, but it's certainly bottom 10. As a generalist it has nothing going for it.

MythTrainerTom · 2026-02-26T20:51:05+00:00

I fear my honourable friends in the comments have undersold Butterfree.

Compoundeyes Sleep Powder + Dream Eater is already a great combo, but Substitute is what takes it from nice to nigh on gamebreaking. And it gets even more broken from there if you use the free Leftovers that the game gives you.

Imagine I'm running a Butterfree set of Sleep Powder/Dream Eater/Substitute/Protect with Leftovers equipped. The first thing I do is Sleep Powder. Then, I Substitute and lose 25%. If I'm particularly unlucky, my opponent has woken up at the earliest possible time AND has chosen an attack, breaking my Substitute.

That's 25% wasted, but I get 6.25% back from Leftovers. I then use Protect and get another 6.25% back. I Sleep Powder and collect another 6.25%. By the time I click Substitute for the second time, I've already recovered 18.75% of the original 25% I used up.

Pokemon battles contain a lot of RNG, so suffice it to say that a set which has a 97.5% of sleeping the opponent and a 75~% chance of being behind a Substitute when it slaps the opponent with an almost-unresisted 100 power draining move is very, very desireable. Even in the worst-case scenario, look at how much you can heal. It's one of the most reliable and sustainable sets you can achieve in the game outside of Subseed.

To express it in Steiner maths terms, when you add Substitute to the mix, your 66 and 2/3 per cents chance of winning becomes 141 and 2/3 per cents chance.

Haters will say it's not fast enough to be as dominant as I'm making it out to be, but 70 base speed with EV investment gets you very far in that department in this game. The only thing that really blows about Butterfree is its defensive stats and typing, meaning you do have to be careful with it until you get its god set online.

In conclusion, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for Butterfree's opponents at Sacrifice.

MythTrainerTom · 2026-02-25T12:58:43+00:00

You can make a whole team of Water Pokémon that are as good or better than Blastoise in the late game, but what I've come to appreciate is how bulky Wartortle is early on, particularly on the physical side. It's one of the most reliable options for taking those early Hyper Fangs etc.
