These days, I don't get it why people think the geodude family is any
good. I won't do the stats because I have to follow the Pojo guidelines
directed by Scott.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, HP! These are rock type pokemon, so aren't they supposed
to have good or awesome HP? 50 Hp is less than expected. Let's remember,
Rock-type pokemon have to make up their huge retreat costs with HP,
their usually strong point.
60 HP for a GRAVELER? Are you kidding? You get ten more Hp for a whole
evolution? This is nuts! And you call yourselves rock-type? Why, a
Charmeleon has 20 more Hp than that dumb Graveler! Next, (laughing out
loud) Golem, with a mighty (sarcastic) 80 HP! Wow, you're a Stage two
and you finally caught up to Charmeleon, who is a Stage 1 and fire type,
while you're a rock-type! Meanwhile, if Charmeleon evolved to Charizard
, you'd be 40 HP behind! The HP is ridiculous!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Retreat Cost- One for Geodude is Average, Two for Graveler is a little
stinky, but acceptable... For Golem, (what the h_ _ _?)
4 retreat cost? That would be acceptable is you had 140 Hp, but 4? (Wow,
you're tied with Snorlax!) Snorlax weighs 1014 lbs, Golem weighs 662!
Wow, A HUGE difference, and you have the same retreat cost, except you
have less HP than the Snorlax, and you're a STAGE TWO, and Snorlax is a
BASIC!
hahahahahahahaaahaahaaha... can't stop laughing! Rock type? How about
pillow type?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Resistance- I expected some resistance, like probably resistance to
electric type.
Geodude- NO.
Graveler- NO!
GOLEM- NO!!
So a Raichu using Thunder can just K.O. a Graveler in one hit, huh?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Attacks- I forget who told me, but a colored energy= about 15 damage,
and a colorless= 10 damage.
So I think geodude's attack is about as good as a splash in the Pokemon
game! Now remember the rounding rules. Let's begin.
In order to even equal the cost of the attack, you must flip three heads
in a row. Whoa, anyone got a double-sided coin?
Graveler gets better. A little. Harden's kinda dumb unless you wanna
Harden to prevent a little damage because next turn you're using rock
throw. Rock throw is pretty good, equal to the damage cost, a solid 40
damage.
Golem has a costier attack, but it does more damage and is equal to the
cost. Selfdestruct is kinda dumb, unless you're about dead and wanna
knock out anything you want with you, Except for Charizard and Mime, I
don't care about those other Special japanese cards that can stand it.
(CHANSEY CAN'T STAND IT! It has weakness to Golem!)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ratings: (1-10)
Geodude-5.5
Graveler-7
Golem- 7
-----------------------------
Let me explain. Geodude has a stinky attack, and attack is a very
important category, Graveler is plain average, and Golem would of been
better except for the fact that Golem has a 4 retreat and only 80 Hp.
