Why You Should Use Shiinotic

Why You Should Use Shiinotic In Pokemon Sun and Moon!

    Design
S    ~Weird alien glowy mushroom. Creepy but awesome. Definitely not just another boring mushroom!

J   Forests where Shiinotic live are treacherous to enter at night. People confused by its strange lights can never find their way home again.

    Typing/Stats
S    ~Grass / Fairy
	Had it previously in Whimsicott and got it again in Bulu. Nice defensively (aside from poison weakness) offensively not too great as fire, poison and steel all resist!

J    HP: 60 Atk: 45 Def: 80 Sp. Atk: 90 Sp. Def: 100 Spd: 30

Just to point out - disappointing stat total of only 405 - that's the same as a lot of middle stage pokemon, not fully evolved!!! (14/21 of the middle stage starters have this BST!)


    Ability
S   ~Illuminate - Increases encouter rate. Useless competitively.
    ~Effect Spore - if opponent makes contact, 30% chance of sleep/poison/para.
    HA
    ~Rain Dish - heals 1/16 HP in rain.

John: May work better on TR with that v low speed of 30. Specs is an option with Giga/Moonblast/Sludge Bomb/HP Ground or Fire.

Close out: John really doesn't like the mushroom but I think that, for its base stat total, it's far more viable that many other pokemon with comparable BSTs!!!
