Vikavolt
Pros:
- Stag beetles bang in a way that's easy for humans to immitate.
- roughly human sized
Cons:
- a male will yeet you after the deed and they produce electricity via their mandibles
- they are roughly human sized stag beetles (length wise)
- can and will zap you to death

You could make this shorter by just going “I’m a thief and refuse to pay for content”. Would save you a lot of time.

Could you review vikavolt please? Thank you! :D
Vikavolt!!!!!
Vikavolt’s an incredibly rad Bug/Electric beetle, and Alola’s spin on the traditional three-stage early-game bug. Rather than a butterfly, it’s a beetle! Which is appropriate enough given they go through similar life cycles. Its position as an early-game bug is somewhat complicated by its unintuitive evolution method, though. It originally evolved by exposure to a magnetic field, like Probopass and Magnezone. This meant you couldn’t actually get Vikavolt until pretty late in Sun and Moon, which goes against the spirit of early-game bugs. As of Gen VIII though, it evolves using a Thunder Stone, which is a little more accessible.
Dex-wise, Vikavolt’s about what you’d expect: it uses an electrical organ to build up electricity in its abdomen, then concentrates it in its jaws to fire powerful bolts. The intricacy of its jaws emphasises this ability, being extremely long and jagged, and acting as the focal point of its design. Despite its low base speed stat, it’s also said to be quite agile. It’s said to use its pre-evolution, Charjabug, as a spare battery: if it carries a Charjabug, it can rapidly fire high-powered beams of electricity. When Vikavolt wants more mobility, it can choose to drop the Charjabug. Pretty cool!
Vikavolt’s also got a very striking design. It’s far more angular than almost any pokemon besides Porygon, with its exoskeleton almost entirely composed of variously shaped triangles. This produces an incredibly unique aesthetic, with even its face conforming to this triangle theme – looking quite fierce as a result. The only deviation from it is its abdomen and wings, which are rounded. The abdomen also notably has some bioluminescent spots, indicating its aforementioned electrical organ, which is a great touch.
Shiny Vikavolt is a distinctive white accented by black and lime green, looking quite unique from Vikavolt and any other pokemon’s colour scheme too. It’s also one of the rare shinies with an anime appearance, first appearing as a shiny Charjabug belonging to a character named Horacio and later evolving into Vikavolt. I personally prefer the navy and yellow of the base form, which feels much more electrical, but Xbox pride Vikavolt is certainly a respectable shiny.
Vikavolt’s a great pokemon, with a unique design and concept that provides a fresh take on a traditional series archetype. The inability to get it earlier in the game in its first appearance is unfortunate, but they’ve made efforts to fix that since.
Triangle man/10.
The Spider Beetle Pokemon. Galvantvolt can use its mandibles to either spin electric webs or shoot a focused blast of electricity like a railgun. It can cover a lot of ground with its many legs or with its powerful wings.
Daily Pokémon that was randomly selected: Vikavolt!
Did you know that Vikavolt’s huge jaws control the electricity that it blasts out? It will concentrate electrical energy within its large jaws and uses it to zap any enemies. While it shoots the electricity from those large pincers, it actually generates the electricity in an organ within its abdomen!
can’t risk it
THIS PIECE OF PICTURE WORKS.
Gotta take all the chances…..
Never risk it
i had to
i’m that desperate

Okay but if I’m gonna reblog this I need to tell you guys the story of this legendary pachirisu So in the competitive Pokemon scene, there’s what’s called a ‘metagame’, which is what’s generally used and what is/isn’t allowed in competitive battling. Certain pokemon are banned from the ‘meta’ because of being too powerful. Others aren’t generally used because there are better alternatives, or they’re simply too weak. People base their entire strategies around the expectation that they’ll be facing certain pokemon, and attempt to counter them with certain pokemon. But the problem with this meta is, during the 2014 World Championships, there were a small number of pokemon choices that everybody had. Gardevoir, Kangeskhan, Salamence, Tyranitar, Talonflame, Garchomp… the same pokemon coming up again and again. Things weren’t really all that interesting. And then came the Double Battle World Championship. And this guy.
Park Se Jun. One of the best players in the world. He used a Pachirisu with Nuzzle (a move with 100% paralysis chance), Super Fang (cuts target’s HP in half) and Follow Me (a move that redirects attacks AWAY from allied pokemon), and equipped with a recently-buffed Sitrus Berry. And he turned the metagame on its head, because nobody in the championships had prepared for anything outside their incredibly restrictive expectations. Their strategies and planning were completely tripped up by an electric squirrel. Battling his Pachirisu in incredibly tight synergy with the rest of his team, Park Se Jun swept the finals and became World Champion of 2014 Doubles.
And that is the story of the #BASED GOD PACHIRISU.
To give more details on Pachirisu and this Pachirisu in particular:
TL;DR: By all accounts Pachirisu should have been an utterly stupid thing to bring to this level of play, but in practise it was a very clever set-up that took advantage of its decent defensive stats and useful support/survival movepool.
Something of note: Park Se Jun has said himself that bringing Craydily instead would have been the better choice, he just REALLY wanted to use Pachirisu.
Legend.
