Pokemon Riddle

[Chibi_Muffin]

Regigigas. Learns the move Crush Grip, but if an enemy is at low health it does little (so they'd survive as the battle went on), and Slow Start cuts Attack making it also useless. The older ones are the three other Regis, who are perceived as more useful as they lack the ability. The close friend may be a reference to the Dream World, as the three other Regis get new abilities but Regigigas cannot get rid of its own, harmful one.

Hmm... Magikarp? The "only friend" could be Feebas, who it technically better than Magikarp, and a lot of the time its only move is Splash. I have no clue about who the "older ones" are though.

[{(•)___(•)}]

Good guesses, but nope keep trying.

[Crimson Penguin]

First thing that came to my mind was Dusknoir. It can learn Stomp, hence the "crushing," but being a Ghost-type, it probably wouldn't have much of an effect (not to mention that it doesn't even have any legs). The "older ones" could refer to Duskull and Dusclops, who were introduced a generation earlier; they could also "outshine" Dusknoir because they have access to Eviolite. The final two lines could be kind of an ironic remark about how Dusknoir is not living, but still takes in lost spirits and guides them back to the living realm.

[{(•)___(•)}]

No, not Dusknoir either.

[OceanicLanturn]

My guess would be Shuckle. It learns both Wrap and Constrict, but does little due to its bad attack. The older one could refer to Steelix, who has better attacking stats. It's only friend, Armaldo, which shares it typing, has better attack.

[octoboy]

Lanturn's guess seems to fit. The "older ones" could even just refer to prehistoric pokémon in that case.

[{(•)___(•)}]

Nope. One more and I'll give a hint.

[RealRaymon]

Blissey

No matter how hard I crush my enemies, It has plenty of attacks. Egg Bomb, Dynamicpunch etc. But they hardly do any damage

They always seem to walk away unharmed. Yeah, like I said.

When I am with the older ones, Chansey was introduced before Blissey

My only friend outshines me. Chansey has better defences than Blissey

if I am incorrect, please tell whether or not I was close and which line I guessed right

[octoboy]

I'm guessing myself, because I Crush Everything.

Just joking. Still, I wonder if Raymond got it right. Maybe we could make better guesses if we had a hint. I'm stumped right now.

[{(•)___(•)}]

Nope. Okay, here's a hint. The "only friend" is not in the same evolution line as the subject, and in fact, they're not even the same type. But they do have other things in common.

[thirty-six]

Okay, here's a toughie.


No matter how hard I crush my enemies, Crush Claw
They always seem to walk away unharmed. False Swipe / Present
When I am with the older ones, evolutions can be caught here too… / ?
My only friend outshines me. fire pokemon can be caught in the same area / the reindeer pokemon, rudolph nose
Sometimes I get so mad at myself. Frustration / ?
Am I destined for this life?Destiny Bond / ref to christmas thing…

I doubt it but delibird… probably not though because I remember it being done before with similar wording…

[{(•)___(•)}]

Nope. Anyway, I'm pretty sure Delibird was the answer to my last riddle haha

[Dusknoirdude23]

Is it Seviper?

No matter how hard I crush my enemies In the anime, Jessie would often command it to use Wrap
They always seem to walk away unharmed Kind of self explanatory really...
When I am with the older ones Wobbuffet and Dustox?
My only friend outshines me For a little while, Jessie only had Wobbuffet and Seviper after she released Dustox, Wobbuffet literally glows when using counter or mirror coat, and it blocks attacks, outshining it when used in battle
Sometimes I get so mad at myself
Am I destined for this life? No one likes losing all the time

[octoboy]

Kind of wish I could think of something, but nothing is ringing any bells here. The first two lines sound like some kind of crippling ability, but I can't think of any ability that does anything like that, which is making me suspect it might be one of those ones I don't know of. And if it's not an ability, it sounds like something that would apply to any wild pokémon; no damage done to a trained pokémon no matter how hard is ever permanent.

I'll have to see if anyone else gets closer with guesses, or at least wait for hints or something. It might be easier if I knew whether "crush" was actually a key word or just generically meant "overpower".

[Dragontail]

Is it Mawile?

No matter how hard I crush my enemies, Moves, plus pokemon falling for it.
They always seem to walk away unharmed. not good at battles
When I am with the older ones, evolutions can be caught here too… It causes Lombre to evolve in the Anime.
My only friend outshines me. Sableye, it has no weakness
Sometimes I get so mad at myself. ?
Am I destined for this life? ?

[Chrosion]

Graveler? Wild guess. ._____.

[Z-nogyroP]

Camerupt?

The older friends could be Sharpedo, who was used by team Aqua, while Camerupt was by Team Magma. Technically Sharpedo is better than Camerupt, because of Speed Boost. Camerupt also has Anger Point, relating to the "mad at myself" line.

Also, i think we need a hint.

[octoboy]

This isn't a month old yet, so bumping just in case Face feels like giving any hints.

[{(•)___(•)}]

Hey guys, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot I had a riddle in this thread. Thanks for reminding me, Octoboy.

Still no correct guesses so far, so I'll give another hint.

The word "outshines" does not refer to literal shining.
