Opossum = Grass (grassland fighter)

Skunk = Fire (gas attack)

Raccoon = Water (washes food)

Fully evolved:

Opossum = Grass/Ghost (plays dead)

Skunk = Fire/Poison (self explanatory)

Raccoon = Water/Dark (steals stuff)

I would swap skunk and raccoon, personally. Skunks shoot liquid at you, and I imagine of the three that the raccoon would be most likely to burn down a building, it if could.

Skunks really tend more toward a toxic/poison element/type. By DnD standards, their self-defense is somewhere between Acid Spray and Stinking Cloud.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

The actual skunk Pokemon is Poison/Dark type.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Liquid attacks can still count as poison. See the move "acid".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, I would not have swapped them if you’d said poison, it was just the fire that I thought didn’t quite fit the skunk (:

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They would evolve into a Fire/Poison skunk with explosive gas, since methane is flammable. I'm aware that skunk spray is actually liquid, but the idea that it isn't is a popular trope that they could do something with.

hmm youre winning me over here, all right im aboard the skunk fire to fire/poison train

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The raccoon's actual attack is fucking rabies. What type of Pokemon apply diseases?

An opossum, a raccoon, and a skunk walk into a bar. The bartender yells “can someone take out the trash?”

Someone brings the trash out to the trio, and they feast.

I'm choosing that fucked up cat

I love my cat!

Assuming the skunk would act like a Pokémon and not fucking spray me, only my enemies, definitely that. They are really adorable and curious little creatures, just listen to this:

Are these the new Evee evolutions?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Possum every time. Get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Go team opossum!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

For real life, or until it plays dead?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Skunk stank was super effective!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Trash panda gang or bust. Fuck stinky bois and cowardly death-fakers, the trash shall rise!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I don't know about the other two but that opossum is definitely of the Bulbasaur kind

You’ve got your garbage type, your poison type, and your opossum type

Opossum: The Naked Tail Pokemon.

This Pokemon is a very unique kind, being the only of its egg group native to its wild area. While having an incredibly smooth brain, this species can remember if a food is toxic for up to two weeks after ingesting it.

Normal/Dark. Ability: Run Away. Hidden Ability: Immunity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Opossum: grass type evolves into a creature that pulls tree trunks out of its pouch and uses them like a weapon.

Racoon: water type evolves into a creature that drowns it's opponents by repeated dunks or by "washing"

Skunk: fire type that evolves to light its own farts like a chav

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'll take the skunk; it's the only one with a special ability.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't think that's true. Opossum has the "startled" perk and Racoon has thumbs that allow for lock picking and wielding.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Those are buffs and we all know if it doesn't do damage, it's useless. Not only is Stink Spray a damaging attack, it applies a DOT effect.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Plus skuntank is a fucking tank, which is great for PVP. It shouldn't be, but it is.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hope you like the smell of skunk or living in a gas mask, I have a vicious racoon that can steal :3

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Imagining the raccoon stealing my gas mask... Ash could have won more tournaments if he targeted the opposing trainer instead of their Pokemon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Trash pandas, trash cats, or fart squirrels? (no cap, that's real terminology) hrm... maybe I'll sit this version of the game out :-P Unless it offers the option to backfire occasionally, b/c that would be HILARIOUS!:-D
