Find new forme names for Cresselia. I don't want more moon stuff.
??? Why should it be a problem that two
moon Pokemon both have
moon themes?
Bouffalant: We covered this on page 9.
Mesprit: Seems odd to shift it to Special bulk+offense. I realize a balanced stat distribution is usually just crappy, but it still seems odd, particularly since the Dark one gets Knock Off. And it loses Speed? Very odd.
Overall though, I like all of them except the Dark one. (I'd rather have seen a utility Status Dark move for it) They all seem pretty good, but none of them is over the top, and they all give Mesprit something it could use and doesn't have. (Except the Dark one) The closest to being over the top is the Fire one, which is held back by the fact that if it isn't Scarfed the likes of
Gyarados will out-run it and rip it apart because it can use its Eruption, so I appreciate that too. (That none of them is just crazy)
Cresselia: It just occurred to me I could've made every Forme be of a type vulnerable to Ground. Kind of a dumb gimmick idea, but whatever.
I went with lowering Defense rather than Attack (And raising Attack a little) because Cresselia isn't all that bad for an RU Pokemon. Min-maxing it could easily turn broken. That's all I have to say that isn't in the original post, page 1.
Kangaskhan: Names need work, given that three of five are male and Kangaskhan is exclusively female. I do like the family angle. Aunt, Sister, Daughter, Mother, Grandmother, maybe? I'd complain that the stat distribution is min-maxy, but while
Mega Kangaskhan is crazy, regular Kangaskhan could really use the help. I've never seen a regular Kangaskhan in any meta ever.
I like the specific Formes overall (Other than the gender pronoun problem), but it does bug me that giving Phantom Force to Grandmother is kind of useless, barring a Power Herb. Yeah, Kangaskhan already gets Shadow Claw, but why not Shadow Sneak? Priority that isn't dependent on the enemy being attacking is nice, and nothing broken to give it.
... well, that and the Rock Forme is kind of painful, since Normal/Rock is doubly weak to Fighting and has no real merit in any other way. Yeah yeah, they're so old they're fossilized, but it really is basically a downgrade in practice. Rock is one of a limited number of types with more weaknesses than resistances! I'd sooner see a Dragon-typed one, which isn't a terrible type combination, can work with being old and venerable and all, and the closest thing to a design flaw with it is that Mega Kangaskhan gets Draco Meteor by definition -which is silly, but nothing it can abuse. Give it Dragon Tail for some utility STAB? (It already gets Outrage)
