No. 352: Kecleon

karma karma karma karma karma chameleon...

another gimmick Pokemon. It copies the type of the move that hit it last.

Since you have pretty much no control over this, it isn't very useful, but it fits for a color-changing chameleon Pokemon.

Also, I love how it knows Flamethrower. People might mistake it (like Sudowudo) for being a Grass-type, since it's green and all. So they throw a little Fire at it. and what happens? Just normal-effective, and then you get a STAB Flamethrower right back in your face! ha-HA! But then you would suspect it's secretly a Fire-type, and hit it with Water or Ground, and that's it for Kecleon. Pity. When you play with fire, you have to expect to get burned.

But I like the design, which strikes me as a little Mezzo-American, and that zig-zaggy line compliments the green nicely. So I'm a little sad to see such a cool little design on a shitty Pokemon, but I guess that's just how some things are.


Overall: 7/10

  1. You're not going to mention how it doesn't actually change color?
