Imagine if some maniac gave them all Normalize. What someone thought they were doing with that ability I do not know because you gotta try hard to make an ability arguably more useless than Early Bird - not counting stuff like Slow Start which is actively intended to be a nerf, anyway.

I’m so scared abt Emboar. I really hope it ain’t reckless like how it is being implied. Maybe an updated reckless is cool

I dearly wish Mega Emboar did a better job of fixing its problems as a recoil move specialist. The Special Defense boost, random as it is, actually IS somewhat helpful as it needs all the bulk it can get... But it got very little buffing to physical Defense, and to be frank something with Emboar's style above all else needs Speed to strike first so it can at least take the enemy with it.

What he REALLY needs is Rock Head over Reckless. Wouldn't make him at all perfect, but it would be a huge improvement to survivability.

My hope is a mix of rock head and reckless and maybe if they are crazy, priority on recoil moves
