#351 Castform
This week we're cutting corners to only provide you with a single Pocket Monster from the third generation, the Weather Pokemon. We've all seen our fair bit of weird weather lately where I live (flipping between warm to frigid day to day and often faster than that) and so I figured we'd look at this fellow.
Now, I'm sorry to say that I got some bad news that, whether or not Castform seems cute, I think he is sorta, kinda, maybe made of suck. Besides the fact that he sucks competitively, he is a gimmick Pokemon that doesn't pay-off when, hypothetically, he should be frickin' awesome. A weather-based Pokemon that gets all the benefits related to different weather abilities-- with the proper stats and movepool (he does have one good specialty move) and perhaps some cuter/more inspired versions of the forms they made for them. Instead, he looks like a grey poop with a single dopey bang sticking up in front. You get it from the Weather Institute, put it in your Pokemon storage box, and never use it again.
