The abilities that Pokemon wield are beyond imagination. Each one is capable of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:manipulating the various elements of the world to unleash a multitude of attacks that break the very laws of reality. As powerful and as devastating as these attacks are, they're widely accepted as the only means Pokemon have to fight, but that's not always the case.
While every Pokemon possesses the ability to manipulate the forces of nature, some have other means to engage in combat. There are a few Pokemon that just prefer to use weapons and tools to aid them in combat rather than the elements. They are not many, but they're just as capable as any other Pokemon.
Updated December 11, 2022, by Dexter Adams: With the release of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, a slew of new Pokemon have exploded onto the scene. These Pokemon, with unusual designs and unorthodox ways to fight, prove, once again, that not all Pokemon rely on physical strength or their ability to manipulate the forces of nature. Specifically, quite a few of those Pokemon that rely on non-biological instruments to aid them in battle have been added to the Pokedex. Scarlet and Violet have also reintroduced several Pokemon that had been all but forgotten that rely on similar means to tackle opponents.
14 Hypno
The title of the Pokemon world's 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:creepiest Pokemon is constantly being juggled between Pokemon like Gengar and Mr. Mime. However, there's one Pokemon that competed for this title that many have forgotten, possibly on purpose. Fortunately, or unfortunately, this Pokemon has reappeared in Paldea, reminding everyone of the dangers that a simple pendulum can bring.
Hypno is best known for its ability to brainwash others using a silver pendulum it carries around. Much like a stereotypical hypnotist hypnotizing a volunteer using a pocket watch, Hypno will mesmerize their prey and feast on their dreams. This species is especially fond of children's dreams and has been known to kidnap them to continuously feast on them.
13 ܫ The Tinkatink Li♉ne
Scarlet and Violet's new line of fairy-steel types is proof of the resourcefulness of Pokemon. Tinkatink, Tinkatuff, and Tinkaton all gather bits of scrap metal to craft hammers that they use to defend themselves, though Tinkatink does this rather pitifully. The first stage of this line consistently has its hammer stolen by much larger Pokemon whose diet consists of metal, forcing it to reforge its weapon over and over again.
The last two mem📖bers of this evolutionary line are far more formidable when it comes to usi𝔍ng, and protecting, their weapons. The PokeDex states that Tinkatuff forms its hammers out of the metal scraps of its prey, Pawniard, and Bisharp, while Tinkaton wields its 220-pound hammer to take potshots at flying Corviknight.
12 ✨ 🍸 Bombirdier
A flying-type with no prehensile limb is the last Pokemon you'd think would use a tool or weapon, but Bombirdier definitely defies expectations. It can't grasp items in a traditional sense; this flying and dark type can use an 'apron' made of its own feathers to hold things. While it primarily uses this apron like a pelican's bill, it also uses it to gather rocks to drop on unsuspecting prey.
Much like how some real-life animals use stones to break upon nuts and fruits, Bombirdier also uses rocks similarly. It mainly drops rocks because it enjoys the sound, but it can use this ability as a means of fighting. It's why this Pokemon is the only one with the ability Rocky Payload, an ability that increases the damage done by rock-type moves.
11 Braixen And Delphox🦄 ꦺ
It's practically common knowledge at this point that the Kalos starters were designed around the classic RPG classes. Froakie was the thief or assassin, Chespin was the tank, and Fennekin was the mage. Of course, we don't see the mage inspiration from Fennekin until it evolves, but it's very prevalent in Braixen and Delphox in their designs and equipment.
Like any good witch or wizard, Braixen and Delpꦅhox use wands as a focus for their abilities. However, instead of casting spells, the two bipedal foxes use their wands to generate and control their fire. Delphox even g꧟oes a step further and uses its wands to channel its psychic power and see the future. Both also use their wands as a means of communicating with each other.
10 🎃 🍌 Floragato And Meowscarada
While there were quite a few people that were disappointed with the direction that Sprigatito's evolutionary line went, no one can deny that Floragato and Mewoscarada are some of the most intereꦇsting starter evolutions created. While the other grass starters rely on shooting out leaves or summonin🧸g vines from their bodies, the two recent additions have a different manner of attack.
Both Floragato and Meowscarada use similar yet different weapons in combat. For Floragato, it uses a hardened flower bud as its primary weapon, wielding it like a flail, or a yo-yo, using a vine that it hides under its fur. When Floragato evolves into Meowscarada, that bud blooms into a flower that's filled with so much pollen that it will literally explode. These two Pokemon give a whole new meaning to the word "Flower Power."
9 Farfetch'd And Galarian Farfetch'd
One wouldn't think that a simple leek could be used as a viable weapon, but Kanto's wild duck Pokemon would beg to disagree. Using what many would consider an ingredient for cooking, Farfetch'd become a veritable swordsman. The Pokemon has even developed several fighting styles that incorporate the use of the leek, practically making it a part of the Pokemon itself.
The Farfetch'd of Galar follow the same habits as their Kantonian counterpart. They, too, use leeks for combat, though the ones they choose are significantly larger. Because of the weight of their leeks, these Farfetch'd would wield them like one would a great sword or javelin. Additionally, because they wield larger leeks, Galarian Farfetch'd have become fighting types as opposed to flying.
8 Sirfetch'd
As the evolved form of Galarian Farfetch'd, Sirfetch'd also wields a leek in battle, but in a much different fashion than either version of Farfetch'd. Its leek evolves with Sirfetch'd, becoming two separate parts. The stem becomes a wickedly sharp blade while the leaves harden into a shield capable of withstanding the most brutal of attacks.
Like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the knights of old that it's based on, Sirfetch'd wields both parts of its leek in battle. Its blade is used as a combination of a sword and a lance to keep its opponents at a respectable distance while its shield fends off attacks from those that slip past its attacks. These leeks are so crucial to a Sirfetch'd way of life that when its leek inevitably withers, the Pokemon will retire.
7 🅺 Cubone And Marowak 💯
The life of Cubone and Marowak is one of the many tragedies hidden behind the bright, colorful veil that the Pokemon world projects. The story of how Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother haunts the dreams of a generation. Disturbing origins aside, both Cubone and Marowak's skeletal aesthetic isn't just keyed to their looks but also their way to battle.
Both Pokemon use bones from an unknown origin to aid them in battle.💯 They wield them like clubs or even boom🥂erangs at times. They even have signature moves based on these weapons. Even the Alolan variant uses their bones in such a manner, though they are wielded more like staves than clubs; they, too, gain the signature moves of Cubone and Kantonian Marowak.
6 The Oshawot⛎t Line
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:seashells on Oshawott and Dewott's bodies aren't just for show. These shells are known as scalchops and, while they are technically a part of both of these Pokemon, they can be removed and used in battle. The shells are fairly durable, capable of protecting both Pokemon from super-effective hits, and are essential for Oshawott and Dewott to use the move Razor Shell.
Samurott's far more blade-like seamitars function much like its previous forms' scalchops, making Samurott a fearsome opponent to face in battle. Scalchops and seamitars are all made of the same keratin material that fingernails are made from and, like fingernails, they can be regrown if broken or lost.
5 Kadabra And Alaꦗkazam
The stereotypical spell casters of fantasy almost always have some kind of focus to help them control their magic. Whether it be a wand, a staff, or some kind of gemstone, these foci go practically hand-in-hand with a mage, and what are Kadabra and Alakazam but the Pokemon world's mages? Their entire line is based on the famous magic words, after all.
While the two psychic types don't use a 'traditional' spell focus, their spoons are just as much a part of them as their mustaches. Both Kadabra and Alakazam can function without their spo💫ons, but their telekinetic powers are cut in half without them. Their spoons can also be used as cutlery, and anything eaten with them is said to taste delicious.
