Pokemon Reviews: Dewgong

Dewgong

Dewgong's white color helps it blend in with the snow, helping it hide from predators. The sight of a Dewgong resting on a glacier made people think it was a mermaid. Dewgong loves cold ice.
Dewgong has got to be the cutest ice type ever! He has a base HP of 90, a base Attack of 70, a base Defense of 80, a base Sp. Attack of 70, a base Sp. Defense of 95, and a base Speed stat of 70. It has normal, balanced out stats, just like Garbodor, Whiscash, Swalot, all of those other Pokemon. Dewgong isn't what you could call the strongest Pokemon out there, but he does have some up sides.
Yet again, Dewgong's balanced out Attack stats and Sp. Attack stats makes it okay to have more Physical moves or Special moves. He can use Signal Beam, Aurora Beam, Ice Beam, Perish Song, lots of really cool moves. You could give him Sheer Cold or Horn Drill. Either way, they're still both one hit KO moves that make Dewgong Dew-strong. He can obviously also use Hail and Blizzard.
Dewgong has Hydration. It heels Dewgong's status problems in Rainy weather conditions. He can use Rain Dance along with that ability, so it makes Dewgong pretty useful. Dewgong also has Thick Fat. You take less damage from Fire and Ice-Type moves. Considering you're almost weak to Fire-Types, it's not too bad of an ability to have.
So Dewgong is a pretty okay Pokemon, but I think he does better in the lower tiers. He's cute and may not be the strongest, but a pretty good Pokemon overall.

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.
