Re: Help me with a little Manamon 2 Fun
Fingon has one of the screen moves, but it also gets Hone Blade and Aquatic Blitz, so it can turn sweeper in a turn or two. It also has surprisingly good stats, and at least one good ability. The only real downside to Fingon is that it's stuck with almost all water moves. Seriously, watch two Fingon try to kill each other and you will see what I mean. It's got good stats and relatively bad moves, and this is a common issue.
So I took a few manamon from my old manamon 1 save and brought them to the move tutor in Brytanburg for the fun of it. Here's what I found.
Bayowoof does indeed get Chomp, and...that's pretty much it as far as coverage goes. Still, it's got decent stats.
Tigrath gets the ability Skilled Jaw. Its only moves to take advantage of this are Dark Fang and Chomp. We really need elemental bite moves the way we have elemental punches. Also, Hydro Fang needs to be on more than just Submenno and Frenrir.
Wizzell is a bust. Gets Tri-beam as its best attacking move, so you can definitely put this one on the list of support manamon. Other notable moves include Smoke and Mirrors, Mystic Guard, Manatize, Demanatize, Eternal Vortex and Screen Shatter. Ability means it can't be trapped. Uh, no thanks. Needs better move variety and needs healing. It's not as frail as in manamon 1 but still does not do well.
Miterosier now gets both screens, plus Lunar Cannon. So it gets strong holy moves of both physical and special type, and it also gets Libation. This squirrel doesn't know what it wants. Again, most pokemon don't do this; even if they get moves from both sides of the spectrum, they can still have a diverse moveset by sticking to one or the other. Design failure IMO, but hey, at least it has more move variety and better sticking power, so it's not completely busted.
Sponginate apparently learns Miracle Adrenaline, then a really random and pointless Shell Break. Seriously, who is using physical moves on Sponginate that require a 40-power standard-type move that lowers defense to set up? No thanks. Try harder. Also, why did this thing need an evolution? Seriously, why? It was plenty good already, and evolving didn't even really improve it. In fact, I think it actually -loses an ability...so what gives?
