Pokémon/Characters/Generation V Families: Difference between revisions

* [[Poisonous Person|Poisonous Pokémon]]: Both were created from garbage and industrial waste. Trubbish's poisonous gases will leave its victims unconscious for a week, while Garbodor's will just out-and-out kill you.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: To add to the already bizarre world of animal/object/people mash-ups that make up Pokémon, we now have ''[[Action Bomb|exploding]]'' garbage bags, one of which is a...

* [[Ugly Cute]]

* [[Walking Wasteland]]: Subverted with Garbodor. Despite looking like it should leave behind waste and filth (like Grimer and Muk from Generation I), Garbodor actually has a low-grade psychic energy that attracts garbage to itself (which, as mentioned before, is why janitors use them to clean up messes).

* [[Glass Cannon]]: They have very high attack and special attack; on the flipside, their defense and special defense, while not even near the worst, are still pretty low.

* [[I Know You Know I Know]]: Since Zoroark can only disguise itself as one of its teammates, your opponent will know you've got that species waiting in the wings once the Illusion is dispelled. If it's something that can switch into certain attacks easily, your opponent will second-guess using such attacks in anticipation of your switch, you'll second-guess switching into such attacks in anticipation of them deciding not to use such attacks, and so on and so forth.

* [[Mama Bear]]: In the [[Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions|13th Pokémon movie]].

* [[Master of Illusion]]: Their trait, the aptly named Illusion, makes them appear like the last Pokémon in your party, down to the nickname and Poké Ball. ''Master of Illusions'' is even the English name for [[Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions|the movie featuring them]].

A Bison Pokémon with an unusually large afro and huge horns. It can't exactly move as fast as its cousin Tauros, but it can sure take hits and deal out severe damage. Its afro cushions the damage from slamming its head into anything (like, say, a ''speeding train it's trying to run off the tracks''). It also loves its veggies, so sending a Grass Pokémon after it isn't a good idea.

 

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: An episode of the anime features a herd of Bouffalant that attack anything that doesn't sport an afro.

* [[Funny Afro]]

* [[Red and Black and Evil All Over]]: Zekrom is a black dragon pokemon with red eyes

* [[Signature Move]]: Fusion Flare and Blue Flare for Reshiram, Fusion Bolt and Bolt Strike for Zekrom, and Glaciate (as well as very likely Freeze Shock and Ice Burn) for Kyurem. Notably though, the "Fusion" moves are also held by the movie download Victini.

* [[Stealth Pun]]: There sure is a lot of fuss in the plot made about Zekrom/Reshiram choosing you and N. {{spoiler|In other words, [[Russian Reversal|in Unova, Pokémon chooses you!]]}}

* [[Sword of Plot Advancement]]: You are [[But Thou Must!|FORCED]] to capture them; defeating them won't even give you experience.

** [[Power-Up Letdown]]: Three of the four possible types Techno Blast can change into by having Genesect hold a Drive—which exist entirely for this one purpose—are outclassed in power, secondary effect, and PP by other moves it can already easily access, and without taking up its held item; it doesn't even get STAB. And since they don't boost typed attacks like Plates do, Hidden Power can make up for the fourth one.

** [[Not Completely Useless]]: Douse Drive Techno Blast is the only way to deal super effective damage to Fire types Genesect has - aside from getting Hidden Power Rock, Water, or Ground, and as Genesect can't be bred, you can't get the ones you need in-game.

* [[Weaponized Animal]]

* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]
