    Polteageist is Omastar on Easy Mode. It's a wonderful Pokémon that has _2 immunities_ to switch into- (but many Normal/Fighting types carry Dark moves so watch out for those.) Still, once you Smash away; 400+ Sp Att + moves like Giga Drain for recovery. It's scary!

    Getting the shiny versions of 3 segment Dudunsparce and 1 child Maushold are probably going to suck too since you can only tell if they're the right one after they evolve (with a 4% chance of getting that form)
    Unless you can just reload the game to reroll it. Not sure if it's determined upon catching or evolving
