I wish it had better stats, though.

There's not much a caterpillar-type Pokemon can do against predators, though. You see, the caterpillar must spin out long threads of silk in the manner of a spider, and the spiders usually do a much better job. The most effective way to deter predators is to give off a warning display with your wings. For example, if you were a Monarch Butterfly, you might do that with the brilliant orange-yellow wing spots that give your wings their name. Monarchs are so effective in the display that they seem to do the job better than their predators: "I was never scared of an adult tiger," says the caterpillar, "and that's not my reaction to any predators in these tests." One could argue that a predator is simply a larger version of a natural predator that would prey on you or anything else you might like to eat. It is that, and it is, as the caterpillar has suggested, a "normal" response.

A predator does come in various sizes, TC. The caterpillar's enemy is generally larger than the insectbut not always. Similar to the black bear of the North.

Pure Fighting.

It should be Fighting/Steel, though.

I like it even if it's probably based off the Spartans and their pop-culture depiction of them. Their English name is similar to the word Phalanx which in Ancient Greek context meant a formation of men armed as heavy infantry. They also have what appears to be a Corinthian style helmet and a round shield, most likely styled after an aspis, which matches what people think of a Spartan's kit. Oh and obviously their unique move is a call back to the 300 Spartans.

Yeah, it probably would be if Gamfreak wasn't 100% garbage. But they are so Falinks is pure Fighting.

Actually, Steel/Bug is a pretty common type. 6 Pokemon share that type.

Another bug fighting type would have been sweet. Or bug dark, we've never had one of those.

They aren't bugs though, so why tf would it be Bug type?

And even if it was Bug/Steel you would just whine "BuT iTz 4x WeAk To FiRe!"

They look like caterpillars or centipedes. Even if they don't, it should at least have been Fighting/Steel. Anything but pure Fighting.

Speaking of Fighting, yes, I am not happy that a Grappleoct, an octopus Pokemon is yet another pure Fighting type!

I get that they really wanted some variety but yeah, I don't get how the octopus is a mono fighting type. Especially with all the dark moves it naturally learns. Were they just trying to avoid a repeat of that dark psychic cuttlefish from 6th gen?

I think Bug/Fighting would've been better.

Like, if you don't want it to be associated with bugs at all, why design it so that it will perpetually look like a caterpillar?

Honestly I don't mind this. Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but I feel like not every Pokemon that lives in the water should be water type. It feels too obvious and it leads to a lot of typecasting for them. (No pun intended)

Just ignore those kinds of people. No matter what good Gamefreak does they'll still treat them like Satan himself.

It would be neat if it was a two-stager: Hopline as the base form and Falinks as the evolved form that gains Steel-typing(and improved stats. Particularly special defense: this thing should be really resilient). And had access to Iron Barbs (attacker takes damage if it uses a contact move).
