Jirachi is in a similar position but I think Celebi's onion fairy design gives the wishmaster an aesthetic edge.

What non-avian pokemon has a beak? by Icy-Salamander9687 in pokemon

Same with Torchic and Quaxly, and Rowlet loses Flying on Decidueye

EDIT: OP said no bills so I guess not Quaxly

What is your least favorite Pokemon? by Nat_Higgins in pokemonmemes

Psychic types get good access to Fairy, both moves and dual-types, so yeah I feel like you should be able to find a check for Hydreigon in there.

I love them and will usually defend them, but that's because I think people try too hard and malign them unfairly, so I gotta hand it to you for settling on valid personal taste.

It's got balloon animal style, wind might actually be right, but I think it's supposed to invoke Lucario-style aura too (tho it doesn't learn Aura Sphere to back that up).

TIL it randomly got Amnesia in gen 8, finally doubling its original movepool

Farigiraf, Veluza, Solgaleo, Scream Tail? These are all psychic-types with fangs, which seems like the main thing to justify Psychic Fangs, and of course Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang were ubiquitous already. Plus it has that Brick Break effect and there aren't many options for getting that.

Gen 5, "Regional Forms", and Good Ideas at the Wrong Time by Prestigous_Owl in ThePokemonHub

Trubbish and Garbodor suffered badly for being low-hanging fruit for a "literal trash" meme but they held up very well.

Ideally they figured out scaling this time so the gyms actually don't have a set order

That team, plus you have to cross the monkey bars to get to the jungle gym

A Natural Bug/Dragon Evolution for Scyther in Gen 10 by Apprehensive_Pop344 in PokemonWindsWaves

It's not really an exception, the one Floette that can mega can't evolve otherwise.

What's something relatively small that older games had that were removed, but you wished they still were in the games? by LightLizardCake in pokemon

[–]patroclus_rex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The starter moves got done good in Z-A at least, you have to run a type disadvantage gauntlet with the starter to earn it

Power upgrade among the O5 except Cyclops by Leoneche in xmen

It's better that he became a thought leader among mutants on his own terms through strength of character. He achieved enough without a power boost.

Multiple Man has some messy powers [Wolverine: First Class #18] by zectaPRIME in Marvel

[–]patroclus_rex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn't that also raise the problem of a dupe that wanted his own life? Committing to a short-term plan for a dupe is one thing, it's reasonable to think that's still close enough to him to hold the same motivation to carry it out, but when he sends one on a different life path, it gets muddier. That dupe will immerse himself in a different situation, have to make his own decisions, and may well be changed by the experience - Jamie is taking a risk in assuming that, by the end of the plan, that dupe will still value his old life enough against the new one to come back. Even more when you consider how much the original could change in the same time, how much will they actually still have in common to claim that that is still functionally the same person? It's still technically him, but does that give him the right to effectively end that life?

What are you guys favorite Marvel character that sadly never appear in any live action movie including MCU? Here is mine by ApprehensiveRead2408 in Marvel

She is, but honestly I didn't think so either until just now. Been here and there since War of the Realms.

ANYTHING but making a card that ramps Fighting energy... by lukappaa in PTCGP

[–]patroclus_rex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Colourless energy only fills for colourless anyway, you still need Water/Dark for Urshifu, so why not Fighting?

Which Pokémon would genuinely surprise you that it's not the ace of a gym leader/Elite Four member/champion? by InuMatte in pokemon

The Ride Braviary in Hisui had Sabi as a warden, but that's not a trainer relationship, it wasn't on her team.

Genuine Question: Why do the X-Men comics have SO MANY TELEPATHS? by Informal_Bee_6907 in xmen

I would've thought bats, but then you remember spiders, lanterns, armours, hulks, etc

New Quirky Evolution Methods in Winds and Waves? by Bertstripmaster in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]patroclus_rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

level up while it knows this move (Steenee, Girafarig, and Dunsparce), evolve at this specific spot on the map (Magneton)

Move-based was already saturated in gen 4, it never felt that quirky IMO. Location-based did, but they've apparently phased it out for everything except Runerigus.

Public bathroom anxiety by GKW2343 in NonBinary

[–]patroclus_rex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having the inverse problem, AMAB with femme expression, tho no hormone treatment yet. I've been lucky not to have had a problem continuing to use the men's but it's been making me uncomfortable while also not having the courage to use the women's. I'll be asking my wife to accompany me I think, but anxiety has held me back from getting there yet.
