[Guide] Pokemon Showcase: Chimaconda [Competitive]

[Bayneko]

game freak has done girafarig which has a very similar design. Also i think you can get choiced items in the ninja city? I got a choice scarf there.

Air Balloon is the unavailable one from those two items...Reeveeloution was only talking about that one when unavailability was mentioned.

Also, Girafarig is not a Chimera.  It is a pokemon version of a Palindrome, a word or phrase which reads the same both forwards and backwards.  Its original design had its back end look like a different colored mirror image of the front.  It wasn't a mish mash of several different creatures.

Yea, I must have been blind :v. But design aside, i think chimaconda is a pokemon that works really well against some pokemon and very poorly against others. Well all pokemon are like that but this one takes it to the extreme, being 4x weak to ground types without any moves to effectively counter it outside of hidden power. This makes it difficult to set up. So giving it a trapping move such as infestation might work when the opponent isn't looking. But what do I know :v i just spent 5 mins looking through it's wiki page :v
