I’m not sure how that was random aggression, so much as a measured response to a publicly made opinion. If you want aggressive, then I can be aggressive.
It’s fine if you like Delphox more, I have no issue with that. It has an attractive design, and an interesting typing.
If you want to call it 100x better than another pokemon, fine, but be able to support that.
Let’s look at the stats for a moment.
Delphox has base stats of:
HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD
75 69 72 114 100 104
Greninja has base stats of:
HP ATK DEF SATK SDEF SPD
72 95 67 103 71 122
Delphox has slightly higher HP, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense. It also has 5 weaknesses, and all to common attack types. It’s normal and hidden abilities require it to take damage, which it cannot do well, and it has a grand total of 4 attack types it can reliably utilize.
Greninja has higher Attack, and Speed which does not look like much. Its defenses are poor and it has just as many weaknesses as Delphox, although fewer are exploitable (i.e. bug and fairy). Though its regular ability, Torrent, is the standard for water starters and fairly bad, it hidden ability, Protean is among the best in the game allowing it to change types on the fly to match the type of ANY move it uses, thereby keeping its weaknesses in flux and allowing more immunities than any other Pokemon in the game.
Protean, granting it the type of what ever move it’s using also grants it the Same Type Attack Boost (STAB) of 1.5x power, effectively raising its Special Attack from 103 to 154. Couple this with a movepool that allows Special Attacks from 5 types, an equally wide physical movepool that benefits just as strongly, and a support movepool that grants it several immunities to common water counters such as Spikes allowing it Ground’s immunity to Electric attacks and you have an extremely versatile and fast pokemon.
Delphox has a great design. You’re welcome to prefer it for that or whatever other reason strikes your fancy, but if you’re going to make the claim that it’s significantly better than another pokemon, and then tell someone to ‘calm the fuck down’ when they voice a different opinion, then be ready to back it up Foxy.
