As soon as I saw the Orthworm Titan in Violet, this idea immediately came to mind and now it’s all I can think about whenever I see this Pokémon.

    I don’t care much about Steelix, but Orthworm is absolutely one of my favorites of this generation.

      He’s growing on me. He may even find a permanent place in my team this generation, though I find myself deviating from my normal type spreads… I usually try to get either a pretty even balance, or I end up with all bug pokemon (it’s my favorite type, I just gravitate to them naturally lol) but this generation I have somehow ended up mostly with Ghosts. 😅

      I’ve got Brambleghast, Ceruledge, Houndstone, and Dreepy, plus Meowscarada and Orthworm. My team comp is 66.6% Ghosts.

          He’s falling behind in terms of offensive stats, but his defense has come in clutch a few times. He, uh… Unfortunately finds himself on the field of battle frequently in “oh shit, I need a revive” moments, which don’t happen often but on the rare occasion he’s a very reliable tank.

          Outside of that, not anything I would consider especially memorable. I just think his dumb face is cute.
