Pokemon of the Week #2 - Castform
Hello again, this is DanielSuperpoke, with another Pokemon
of the week.
This week's Pokemon is one that was suggested on the forums
by Cadget.
Base Stats
Wow, all 70, so it can easily be anything you want it to,
given it has the moves for it.
To hatch Castform, you will need to go 6,400 steps.
Castform is in two egg groups, the fairy group and
the intermediate group.
EVs given from defeating it in a battle is 1 HP EV.
The catch rate is 45.
Castform does not evolve.
Competitive Analysis
Castform is in the NU tier, and for good reason, it's never
used. But,
there some appealing sets for it, so, let's discuss them!
Castform @ Choice Specs
He gets to almost 400 Special Attack with Choice Specs, and
he's not short on type coverage. If you can predict well,
this can do some reasonable damage in the lower tiers.
Castform can survive most unboosted hits, taking just enough
damage to activate Salac Berry and possibly set up a sweep.
You can try a Petaya Berry if you've got paralysis support.
Castform @ Damp Rock
Water-type Castform. Weather Ball is 100 base power, and you
get a boost from STAB and the weather. Ice Beam covers
Grass-types and any Dragons (Altaria) you may run into.
Thunder covers other Water-types and has 100% accuracy in
the Rain, but Energy Ball hits Quagsire hard.
There is also a Sunny Day and a Hail set for it, pertty much
just a twist off of these two.
Sunny Day has Solar Beam, and Hail has Blizzard.

Personal Analysis
Well, I like Castform in game, it's sweet to use, and easy
to get in RSE.
It sucks competitively though, but that's no big deal,
seeing as I like to collect Pokemon.
Basically, Castform is one of those Pokemon the
designers made look good, but forgot to make it perform
good, if you know what I mean.
Other Information
Castform has appeared in the Anime once.
It was at the weather institute in Hoenn, same place
you get it in the games, and it had the disc will all the
information on it about Groudon and Kyogre.
Team Magma and Team Aqua were both after it.
This episode is:
Episode 359: Castform and the Weather Research Institute!
Closing
Castform is fun to use, so try it out!
I think you should try out all the Pokemon I cover in
these articles actually, you might find one you like and
decide to keep on using it!
Till next time, this is DanielSuperpoke, signing out!
