Since it can use Surf, Psychic, Thunderbolt and Ice Beam. You can't beat that insane converage. I still use a Starmie. Though its not the best looking Pokemon it still remains a favorite of mine just because of it's sheer power!

Don't remember it can do that in the old Red and Blue... Then again, this IS trying to remember from 9 years ago...

Only thing I remember being able to pull an insane coverage like that back then is Kabutops, which I ended up with Psychic, Ice beam, Slash and something else different type I can't remember.

Then again, I'm on emulator... So if I want, I can probably hex edit myself a lvl1 Magicarp with 500 in each stat, and ice beam, fire blast, psychic and thunder.

Psychic doesn't beat itself. Psychic attacks do poo poo all to itself. I'm saying that's like the only type back then that psychic attacks are not very effective against.

Yep, Starmie is a staple in my teams :P
Same moveset too :P
sometimes I switched Psychic for Grass knot though >_>
for those annoying Swamperts :(

All this talk is actually making me want to try playing Pokemon again.

Time to download some ROMs with my awesome uni internet (too fast for speedtest).

Kabutops has really bad stats for those moves save Slash which is poor move in general since there's better Normal type moves like Double Edge and Return. Kabutops should be using physical attacks >_>

I hardly see Swampert for some reason. Probably because of all the rabid Infernapes flying around with Grass Knot. Then again I don't play on Shoddy Battle >_>

It can... and its considered the most lethal Pokemon in RBY that isn't banned O_O;

Meh, whatever. Last time I played this game is in yr5 (I'm currently in uni...).
