Pokemon of the week

Starting from this week, I will be staging 'pokemon of the week' where i will review one pokemon for all you millions of fans out there each week.

POKEMON OF THE WEEK: Onix






Lets see... ONIX. Onix basically resembles a giant chain of gray boulders. The Pokémon has a magnet in its brain that serves as an internal compass. Onix's body becomes more rounded and smoother as it grows with age. A fully grown Onix measures at an enormous 28 feet 10 inches, or 8.8 metres. Onix can be caught in caves (excluding Mt. Moon, thats too small) and usually ranges from Lv 10-15 in Rock tunnel and up to Lv 45 in victory road. It is of the Rock/Ground type and weighs 463 pounds fully grown.

My Rating: 4

I was really looking forward to adding an Onix to my party, because you think, Wow, massive rock snake with awesome moves, looks cool. WRONG.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is a good pokemon. look at its base stat for defense: 160! That is immense compared to most pokemon. So an Onix can take one hell of a beating if necessary, which means beating other trainers with Onixes rewards a high boost in Exp.

However, considering its other base stats, its fairly meek.

Attack: 45 (crap)

HP: 35 (bitterly disappointing)

Sp. Atk: 30 (terrible)

Sp. Def: 45 (meh)

Speed: 70 (ok i guess)


Overall review:

Don't catch this. It looks cool, but thats it. This pokemon is essentially a 48 foot long poo that takes ages to defeat.
