can I please ask why the Flamingairy line get Misty Surge if they aren't even affected by terrains
they're flying
also Pixapart still doesn't have stats
Anyway, there is only 2 Pokemon in the whole pet mod with Sticky Web, so let's look at them a bit.
The first one is Spinji.
Spinji has a Bug/Ghost typing, which is kinda sucky defensively, being weak to Stealth Rock and stuff like Flying, Fire, Dark and Ghost. What really isn't helping it defensively is having horrible 60/58/58 bulk, which means if you're going to use this thing to set Sticky Web you're going to have a hard time doing anything else: This Pokemon probably won't get webs up twice. Base 81 speed means you're going to usually get outsped while trying to get webs up, making Spinji unreliable at this role. It can run Prankster to mitigate this issue, although that means it can't set up Webs VS dark type leads. A Prankster Spinji can burn the opponent with Will-O-Wisp or set up Stealth Rocks, Spikes and Toxic Spikes, so Spinji actually does have some good utility in that it can set up any kind of hazard bar pet mod exclusive ones. It can also threaten the Dark types out with STAB Bug moves off of base 120 Attack, its only good stat.
Pros:
-Can set up any type of hazard with priority
-Can threaten Dark types with Bug moves or Will-O-Wisp
Cons:
-Appalling bulk
-Defensive typing sucks
-Low speed
Overall, Spinji is good for setting Webs up once, but once they're gone, they're gone. It is a good suicide lead.
The second one is Hyquid.
Hyquid's Water/Bug typing makes it much better defensively than Spinji, weak to Electric, Rock and Flying. It also has 120 base speed, which outspeeds a good portion of the game and it isn't blocked by Dark types like Prankster is. 96/63/81 bulk is still lacking on the physical side, but the special side is decent and it's definitely an improvement on Spinji. While 88 base Attack seems bad compared to Spinji, it has Adaptability and so can still hit hard when not getting Webs up. However, Spinji has access to priority and a much bigger range of hazards and utility moves, while Sticky Web and maybe Rain Dance is all Hyquid can really do. This makes Hyquid much worse as a suicide lead, and as such it should not be sacrificed after setting up webs.
Pros:
-Bulkier than Spinji
-Fairly good defensive typing
-Good speed
-Hits hard
Cons:
-Much less utility than Spinji: Cannot set as many hazards
-Still fairly easy to kill
Overall, Hyquid should be treated as an actual team member with importance after setting up webs, and not a suicide lead. I know it looks like Spinji has less pros and more cons, but the multiple hazard bit is very important.
Now here's a thing: None of the pokemon in this entire Pet Mod can learn Aurora Veil. RIP Veil Offense. Should we consider giving it to some things?
