Thread 58069415

Why is the cloyster line such giga-jobber prey pokemon in lore? Everyone loves to feast on them and could effortless destroy their shells in the most brutal ways possible.


>Kingler: Said to be capable of prying open Shellder and Cloyster shells using its 10,000-horsepower pincer.
>Omastar: Apparently, it cracked Shellder's shell with its sharp fangs and sucked out the insides
>Rufflet: With its powerful legs and sturdy claws, it can crack even the hard shells of Shellder and pluck out their insides.
>Bruxish: It stuns its prey with psychokinesis and then grinds them to mush with its strong teeth. Even Shellder's shell is no match for it.

>>58069415 (OP)
Even amount KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO there needed to be a least favorite

>>58069415 (OP)
Well we consume a lot of clams irl easily

>>58069415 (OP)
Did you ever saw irl clams? They mostly just sit on the bottom of the preferred body of water, filter feed, and wait for being eaten by something. It's a living canned food.

>>58069461
I saw your mum's clam and I indeed ate it.

I call that minding my own business, not waiting to get eaten by something.

I like pokedex entries about pokemon eating other pokemon, it adds a touch of brutality and realism to an otherwise idyllic world.

>Pokemon eating other pokemon
This is why the dex entries aren't canon. Pokemon eat berries and poffins and nothing else.

>>58069566
in the animal kingdom those are one and the same

>>58069771
cope

>>58069415 (OP)
damn, no wonder it took out its frustration on Finchinator...

>>58069771
MY favorite badass pokemon would brutally murk and make a delicious meal out of whatever faggotmon is your favorite in official canon. Cry about it, sissy.

>>58069415 (OP)
Pokedex thread?

>This made corvicucks eternally shit their pants

>>58069415 (OP)
if anything these are in praise of shellder, talking about how it's an accomplishment to break its shell

>>58069415 (OP)
I would eat a shellder too. Now pass me the sledge hammer.

>>58070813
No it wouldn't because official canon doesn't have Pokemon eating each other. They eat berries. Unless you're basing your opinion off some early-installment weirdness from the oldslop games.

Cope. My favorites aren't faggots that eat berries and sugary junkfood all day. They're apex predators that will claim their hard earned meals in the wild from the others they have defeated fair and square.

>My favorites aren't faggots that eat berries and sugary junkfood all day.
Yes they are because all Pokemon are.
>They're apex predators that will claim their hard earned meals in the wild from the others they have defeated fair and square.
No they aren't because Pokemon don't eat other Pokemon. TPCi said as much.
>M-Muh dex entries!
Dex entries aren't canon. Cope, seethe, mald and dilate you pathetic edgelord.

>>58069566
Just minding your business in the wild is asking to be eaten.

>>58072196
Anyone who actually still genuinely believes the cope view basically only given out to calm moral guardians that they don't eat each other is too young in mind to be on this site.

>>58072666
>Anyone who actually pays attention to the official refined canon and not fanfic made by edgy teenagers, long-obsolete dreck from the dark days of early-installment weirdness or the shit slipped in by the writing drones into the dex entries where they won't get noticed is stupid!
You need to leave. This franchise is not for you.

>>58072692
If you don't think they check over dex entries nowadays before putting them in your even more underaged than I thought. And stuff like Curry in Galar is proof beyond dex entries.

>>58072653
>>58072692
Nobody is going to submit to your tranny headcanon. Piss off and stop trying to dumb shit down for retarded preschoolers.

>>58072700
People eat Pokemon. Pokemon don't.
>>58072701
>Headcanon
Literally the official canon. Your fanfic will never be real. If you don't like it, play something else.

>>58072703
what kind of meat are my pokémon eating when I make them sandwiches?

>>58069415 (OP)
>Archeops: Omanyte lived in the seas of antiquity. Its fossils have been found bearing bite marks from Archeops, so apparently Archeops preyed on it.
>Carracosta: Its jaws are terrifyingly powerful. It could eat Omastar and Omanyte whole and not be bothered in the slightest by their shells.
thier help went extinct

>>58069415 (OP)
>No Beartic or Ursaluna
When salmon or seal season is low, the wisest mama bears teach their cubs the art of digging and opening clams.

>>58073488

>>58073503

>>58073524

>>58072196
>the oldslop games
Every game in the series has mentions of prey and predator relationships, old and new.

>>58073442
Probably "offscreen" pokemon bred solely for meat, or synthetic meat. Either way, they didn't hunt it.

>>58072703
ACK! ACK! ACK! ACK!

>>58069538
You ate the clam you came out of? Thats pretty fucked up anon.

The Pidgeot is taking the Magikarp to its nest to share some of its delicious berries with it

>10,000-horsepower pincer
wtf this sounds more insane than the 1 gorillion degrees Magcargo body temperature

>>58069415 (OP)
It's just nature. A rule of nature one might say

Dex entries explicitely talking about pokemon eating each other before Gen 7 can be counter on the fingers of one hand.
Not sure why they decided to get super edgy from Gen 7 onward, but there is a clear shift.

>>58074402
In my headcanon it's just a super horny male pidgeot that needs a fleshlight

>>58074512
The food chain is super edgy?

>>58074512
I actually like that detail, it makes the Pokemon world feel like an actual ecosystem

>>58074512
Do ones that mention prey, but not a specific species count? Pidgey is a repeat offender, and that is route 1 fodder.

>>58074528
In real life no
90% of times the animals that get eaten are clealy inferior to the animals that eat them, and also they can't communicate with each others and interbreed like pokemon do.
In pokemon, having a food chain is basically cannibalism and cannibalism is indeed edgy.

>>58074597
When abstract preys were mentioned it felt much more tolerable and less edgy than the Gen 7 onward shit with named pokemon prey.
Especially since regular, inferior animals were implied to exist back in early pokemon.
Having regular animals exist as food source for superior creatures like humans and aanimals would make for a much less edgy pokemon world.

I fucking despise thin skinned zoomertrannies so much it's unreal.

>>58074798
Not that edgy when all we ever see him do with those is make the opponent faint
