Badoak Flarette Narvory Anyways this just started with some doodles. I wanted some homebrew pokemon for my campaign so I cam up with these as they can eventually all defeat eachother with the way I lined their secondary types up. I understand I may be critiqued because of how their stats are laid out so feel free to alter these and let me know. I'm just looking for some input and help revising these things since they are my first homebrew pokemon. Edited by Semper Oculos, Jul 28 2012, 12:39 PM.

I think Badoak is overpowered in comparison to the others, and Narvory underpowered. Narvory has two less overall base stat points than the others. That puts it at an immediate disadvantage (however slight). A personal suggestion would be putting the extra two points in S.DEF and HP respectively, as it seems like a fairly middleweight pokemon. But that's just my suggestion. I admit it shouldn't be as much of a problem, but in the early game HP and ATK are vital for Physical Attackers, and Badoak has both in bucketloads. It means that even if it can't outspeed it's opponents, it will likely survive the first hit and OHKO its opponent in return. I'd suggest splitting the stats better, so it has at most a 6 and a 7 between the two stats. Perhaps some of the run off points could go towards Speed? I suppose my problem with Badoak is it is so heavily optimised towards the role it is made for, whereas the others are more generalists. If it had one or two points moved towards S.ATK, then it'd be much more in line with the others. |

I didn't look at their moves or stats, but I think they are all pretty cute, which is important for starters. But the fiery weasel is pretty reminiscent of Cyndaquil's idea. I think the whale and the badge are pretty great, though. |

They get attacks too frequently. Starter Pokemon, if left unevolved, should be learning attacks into their late 30's - mid 40's. I'm going to use Badoak as an example for what they should probably look like. Level Up Move List: 1 Leer - Normal 1 Scratch – Normal 6 Razor Leaf - Grass 9 Bite – Dark 15 Fake Tears – Dark 18 Ingrain -Grass 24 Thief – Dark 27 Bullet Seed - Grass 33 Faint Attack -Dark 36 Slash – Normal 42 Dig - Ground 45 Needle Arm -Grass This is just my suggestion based on how every other starter Pokemon's move list is. I'd also suggest that the first move it learns after level 1, be a support type move, rather than an attack move. So at level 6, rather than learn Razor Leaf, it might learn Growth. This is just what I thought about it. Otherwise, the move lists are well thought out and I like the type combinations you used. |

Alright, I edited the movesets as well as the Stats, tell me if I misinterpreted what you said. I feel this balances them a bit more. |

Stats look fine (to me) now. Taking a glance at the capabilities, I was initially worried about Flarette having Overland 8, but a quick glance through the pokedex told me it was only as fast as a Growlithe, and slower than a Ponyta (who has Overland 12). So Overland 8 seems fine, as long as you're okay with your weasel being that speed. I would, however, consider notching up Badoak's Burrow up to 5 (it's a badger, it makes sense that it can burrow fairly quickly) and Narvory's Overland to 4 (the same speed as a Torchic). That's just minor quibbles, though. Frankly, you could probably roll out the starters as is, now. |

I would like to see the fire one learn some more Psy attacks, and I always thought furry swipes where a low level move? prehaps Im wrong. Is this is the sort of thing you where going for? Spoiler: click to toggle

For Flarette - I've noticed that Confusion is listed as Dark. Shouldn't it be psychic? Also, looking ahead at its moves, I'm definitely gonna need to enter mine in some smart contests. Goodness, I suspect my character's Flarette is probably smarter than he is. |
