    I think tera-electric Groudon is the best Pikachu clone.
    - It's an electric type (like Pikachu)
    - It's shiny form is yellow (like Pikachu)
    - It learns thunderbolt (pikachu's signature move btw)
    - it's in smash bros (like Pikachu)
    - It's cute ❤ (like Pikachu)
    - It's a rodent if you believe enough (Pikachu is a rat)

    Jimothy, I believe Dedenne is pronounced with a 'Neigh' at the end. It is because of this that Dedenne is applying to join the Horse Council. I understand that you may be silencing the 'Neigh' because you disagree with Dedenne's claim, referring to it as "Dedenne's Dastardly Deed" in private, but I think we should all give Dedenne a fair chance. Thank you.

    two things you forgot to mention, first is that raichu actually won the world championships too, i'm sure many people are aware but since this is a singles community it was on the team wolfey used in 2016 which is cool. and mimikyu definitely deserves the number 1 spot, the second thing you didn't mention is that disguise had to be nerfed since it was so broken in gen 7 vgc, the way it worked back then was that you took 0 damage when the disguise broke which meant with a focus sash you were guaranteed to survive at least two hits, which paired with fake out immunity meant it was ridiculously easy to set up trick room since you only had to worry about taunt (you could also just use mental herb mimikyu and cause a closed teamsheet moment)

    I'd consider Pichu one. Considering Pikachu could already be found at "baby levels" it makes no sense for it to exist outside of merchandising/marketing.

    • @PopcornBunni
      @PopcornBunni 4 дня назад +1

      Not for marketing in the advertising sense, but Pichu does exist for another reason. It exists to demonstrate the new Breeding mechanic. Baby pokemon themselves offer little to no value in practice even if in theory they offer a wider moveset their evolved forms would otherwise miss out on. Instead the concept of Babies as a whole highlight the addition of breeding to obtain multiples of otherwise rare pokemon, so of course Pikachu, the mascot and a rare Pokemon to begin with, would get a baby.
      The addition of Babies does have some competitive knockon as well, by introducing pre-evolutions to single-stage Pokemon into the Little Cup format. Unfortunately, Pichu doesn't get the benefit of Light Ball, despite being a requirement to get access to Volt Tackle, and it is massively outclassed by other Little Cup electrics like Chinchou and even by themselves-outclassed electrics like Mareep.

    Back in gen 7 1v1 there was a popular team composed of dedenne, togedemaru, and emolga called "mono-mouse". And it was surprisingly powerful. You'd think that any ground type would just demolish those 3 no problem, but no, it eats almost all ground types they encounter.
    Z-charm emolga neutralizes physical threats. Rain dance thunder dedenne handles the two biggest threats in the meta, which is charizard. And liechi berry reversal togedemaru is a good catch-all for what those two can't handle.

    "like the revive item from the pokemon games" that seems like a really obscure reference, i'm not sure too many people here will understand what you're talking about jim

    Mimikyu’s ability is pretty broken but I’d place Raichu above for that 1st and 3rd at worlds and great regional placements including two wins.
    Edit: Nevermind! Mimikyu won 8 regionals!?! And an international! Pretty prestigious for a non world champion.

    Togedemaru in VGC Is arguably the best barring Raichu and Mimi. Yes Pachirisu won Worlds but it was a well-placed tournament call but it couldn't prove to be consistent in the longer scope. Toge was a real Pokémon in gen 7 and saw niche use afterwards, too: fake out is amazing, rough skin punishes a lot of utility, nuzzle is great status, and it could do acceptable damage, especially when Koko was everywhere.

    Not sure if you're aware of this, but during the Nintendo 3DS days, Pokemon released a theme that had Pikachu and the Pika-Clones on it. (Up to Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon)
    Notably, Marill, Azumarill, and Mimikyu were absent. (So is Pichu and Raichu, though they aren't really "clones" per-say)

    Bulbipedia has a page named “Electric Rodent Pokemon” and this is their criteria.
    Design-wise, all of these Pokémon have big round heads, black button-like eyes and electric pouches on their cheeks. All are in the Fairy or Field Egg Groups, all of these Pokémon have English names very close to being pure transliterations of their Japanese names. Prior to Generation VIII, this group included the only Pokémon capable of learning Nuzzle; Morpeko is the only member that cannot learn Nuzzle. Every electric rodent has a gender ratio of one male to one female.

    I don’t count pichu and raichu for the obvious reason of being part of pikachu’s evolution line. And I stretch that logic to Alolan raichu as well.

    Pawmot doesn't look much like Pikachu because it's based off of Raichu. It's not a single stage mon like pikaclones typically are.

    Marill was absolutely designed to be a pika clone, they pushed it like mad in the anime and it was the mascot for Johto in the games. Just like how clefairy was the intended gen 1 mascot however, marill couldn't compete with pikachu and even togepi ended up upstaging it so for gen 3 they were more direct, creating plusle and minun to be the double battle mascots as pika twins.

    They all should have been like mareep or luxray getting two EVOS branching themselves off of being a pika clone so they could be at least semi viable or useful

    Mimikyu is my favourite on this list as well! Sadly, I have to admit I do not believe it should count. The Pokédex in Pokémon Scarlet mentions about Pachirisu that "It’s one of the kinds of Pokémon with electric cheek pouches. It shoots charges from its tail." I believe these electric cheek pouches mentioned are the most important trait for a Pokémon to have in this category, and what the developers use to define one as such. Mimikyu is a ghost with a sheet over it, and its cheek pouches are merely painted on. It might seem cruel to exclude Mimikyu, especially since it clearly longs to be like Pikachu by dressing up as one, but including it in this group is a bit like saying a dolphin is a fish due to some superficial similarities, when biologically they are very different creatures.
