Pokemon Reviews: Accelgor

Accelgor

Accelgor covers its body with several layers of thin membrane to prevent dehydration. Through evolution, it gets out of its shell and becomes light. It uses that to fight with movements of a ninja!
Accelgor is all about speed. His signature status is Speed. In fact, I'm surprised it can't use ExtremeSpeed. Accelgor isn't exactly great when compared to Escavalier. However, he does have really good attacks available.
He has Me First, which is actually a great attack once you think of it. He can also learn Giga Drain, which in my opinion, is a great move- you do damage and gain some HP.
Accelgor's two main abilities are Hydration and Sticky Hold. Hydration is probably the better ability. All of your status problems are healed in rainy weather conditions. Even better is that Accelgor can use Rain Dance, so those of you who rely on the "Hypnosis-Dream Eater" strategy, be careful. Sticky Hold means that the Pokemon does not lose its held item. It keeps its item even if moves like Knock Off or Thief are used against you. It's an okay ability, but I think I'll stick with Hydration.
So Accelgor isn't too bad, some prefer not to use it, and thats not a big surprise, actually. Not the best status, but at least he isn't Magikarp or anything.

Positive Review- The Pokemon is strong, great, used a lot, Pokemon is good overall.

In-Between Review- The Pokemon is okay, not the best, okay, acceptable, has one or two faults, In the Middle.

Yikes Review- The Pokemon is bad, maybe weak, not the best at all, has a few faults, it needs improvement.

STAB- Stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. It's when a Pokemon uses an attack that is the same Type as itself. The move becomes more powerful because the move is the same Type as the user.

Eeveelutions- An evolved form of Eevee.

Staller- A Pokemon that takes up time in battle. They usually use something like Toxic, use an Attack to inflict damage and after that, uses Protect to take up some time, and rely on the Poisoning to defeat the opposing Pokemon. It also counts with Pokemon who use moves like Refresh. Usually a Stalling Pokemon has to have high HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats.

Uber- A Pokemon capable of doing a lot of damage, mostly legendaries.

Tiers- Ranks that separate Pokemon into different classes, based on how often they're used and how capable they are in battle. LC is Little Cup, which is mainly unevolved Pokemon, NFE is Not Fully-Evolved, which are Pokemon that have evolved, but aren't fully-evolved, and Limbo are Pokemon being tested out to see how capable they are. To find out more about the main tiers, check out serebii.net, smogon, and Bulbapedia.

Entry Hazards- Things set up by using the moves Spikes, Toxic Spikes, or Stealth Rock. These can hurt Pokemon after being set up upon the Pokemon being sent out in the battle. Depending on the Pokemon's typing, they may get hurt a lot. If a Pokemon is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, for example, they lose half of their HP. Spikes can be avoided with levitating or Flying-Type Pokemon. Toxic Spikes poison the opponent's Pokemon when they're sent out into battle. Two sets of them badly poison them.
