Rathalike

Rathalike is a Pokemon made in Batch 1 of the Fun Pokemon series.

Origins
Rathalike is based on the monster Rathalos from the Monster Hunter series and behaves much like one as well. Rathalos was always the most iconic monster from the series and is a cool one at that, so we decided to make a Pokemon for it. Rathalike and Rathalos are very similar and here is the breakdown of why that is true:


 * Fly is reminiscent of a Rathalos flying in the air and attacking the monster hunter (or his prey) from above. It could also be thought of as a Rathalos lifting off the ground and taking off away into the sky.
 * Poison Jab is very similar to a Rathalos plunging his poisonous claws into his attackers to weaken them with a strong poison. The same logic also applies to Poison Point.
 * Dragon Claw is a Rathalos slashing his claws at or stabbing you.
 * Fire Blast is pretty self-explanatory. Its a Rathalos shooting a fire ball from it's mouth.
 * Fire Gem is based off of the Rathalos Ruby, a very rare item that may be harvested from a Rathalos if you get lucky enough.

Strengths
Rathalike is a very versatile pokemon, not only having 4 different type attacks but also being mixed in terms of physical and special moves. This allows Rathalike to be prepared for different situations and it is therefore uncommon for him to be useless in a battle. In addition, he has the moves Fire Blast and Poison Jab and the ability Poison Point to afflict damaging status' which add to the damage he causes.

Weaknesses
Rathalike is good for dealing damage, but not for much else as he has no status moves that can help him or his ally in a different way. This therefore makes him both useful in any scenario and at the same time not particularly useful at any give time. This is why he may be a hesitant choice to pick during team building.

Trivia

 * Rathalike is considered to be the OG Mario.
