Pokemon Analyzation #5: Finneon and Lumineon

     Greetings to all of you, and welcome to Pokemon Analyzation, the series where I take a certain Pokemon or evolutionary line and review everything about it. Today, I will be reviewing Finneon and its evolution Lumineon. For most of these reviews, I have been perfectly capable of remaining positive and focusing on the brighter sides of Pokemon. With these two, however, it is very hard giving it any kind of recommendation. Without any further ado, let's take an in-depth look at these fish. Just... fish.



Name: Finneon and Lumineon

          


Description: Out of anything that I can say regarding Finneon and Lumineon, the most positive thing I can say about these two Pokemon are its designs, but even then the designs are pretty underwhelming, especially considering what we got in the fourth generation. As you can see, they are basically designed off of aquarium fish, and they look nice. That's it, just nice. This normally wouldn't be a bad thing, but again, this is the fourth generation we're talking about, where we got amazing looking Pokemon like Gallade, Lucario, the 4th gen Eeveelutions, and so many more great designs. Lumineon looks okay, and it looks nicer than other fish Pokemon, but it can be pretty forgettable.




Battle Style:

Generation 4: Let's just cut to the chase; Lumineon is atrocious in battle. It is nothing but weak and frail. It's highest stat is speed, with a 91! Everything else is completely lackluster. It can have one of two abilities. One is Swift Swim, which is pretty useless, and Storm Drain, which could raise special attack quite a bit, but with a special attack stat of 69, it isn't worth much. That, combined with one of the most shallow move pools in existence, makes Lumineon heavily outclassed and 100% WORTHLESS! It can also have Splash as an egg move. fun.

Generation 5: It gets Water Veil as a hidden ability. That's it. It still isn't good and it becomes overshadowed by even more water types in this generation.

Generation 6: Nothing has changed in generation 6. It's not that I don't want to talk about Lumineon, it's just that there isn't anything to say. I want to give Lumineon a fair shot, but it's not giving me anything to work with.



Personal Experience: Well, I have been pretty negative about everything so far, but maybe I had an amazing time using it, right? Well, asides from some random battles on Showdown, I have hardly ever used Lumineon. Even during the random battles I used it in, it was usually the throwaway Mon. I wouldn't even use it as an HM user, because Pokemon like Linoone and Bibarel do the job better.



Overall Rating: There is no reason to use Lumineon. Not inside of battle, not outside of battle, not anywhere. It is heavily outclassed and it does nothing to stand out. While Lumineon isn't my least favorite water type, it is definitely the most forgettable.
