I’m not gonna complain the pokemon is uderpowered or any of the matter, I just wish it had another Flying-Type Special attack outside Hurricane. Hurricane has weather dependent accuracy, so outside rain what does Delta Weezing have for flying STAB? Acrobatics and then… Aerial Ace? Gust? BOUNCE? Chatter could fill this gap so nicely because of Amplifier, Chatter with double STAB is still weaker than Hurricane, but it’s accurate and fits the theme very nicely, even the voice recording feature: You scream into your nuclear boombox and it’s actually an attack! How awesome is that? That’s all that really bothers me when playing with this pokemon, I’d like to now what others feel about this, or maybe share any other thoughts.
D. Weezing does learn Boomburst, which is more powerful than Hurricane due to Amplifier and an extremely spammable move in general. I don’t really think it needs other special moves and Chatter is kind of a lame move in general due to its reliance on confuse hax.
Having Chatter would make it’s Part Flying type not so meaningless, as if Boomburst is supposed to substitute your second STAB why bother with a Flying type? Electric/Normal would be much more adequate to that thinking.
Chatter is lame and it’s not supposed to become the new meta, I just want an option for reliable-but-less-powerful move for Delta Weezing, like Surf is to Hydro Pump, Flamethrower to Fire Blast, Ice Beam to Blizzard… You get the idea.
Chatter with Amplifier would have slightly more power ( 97.5 before STAB), but the move was buffed just in Gen VI, before it had 60 base power (would fall right at 90).
It’s just a good option I’d love to see this pokemon have, it doesn’t feel whole or cmplete right now.
