this was dead since forever, I mean you could argue about magnemites, but either way either it would have hp fire or would have been a dead market so, yeah not a good argument.
No they didnt. They improved it, as someone who bred a lot of shinies, I for one like this one.
yes and no, stuff like tyrogue and tauros still requires godly dittos in order to breed, they just need their HAs to be perfectly functional (even tho, they're already fuctional), yes they kinda destroyed the genderless market, but not the ditto, a godly ditto should still be worth a pretty penny, for collectors and those who want to breed a hitmontop for example, which is a perfectly viable and sought after comp for doubles.
I do agree with you, they're garbage, they're not my ludicolo sombrero that I wanted to own.
