Bowser

Bowser is a Pokemon added in Batch 6 of the Fun Pokemon series.

Origin
As the name explicitly states, we got the idea for this Pokemon from the main antagonist of the Mario series, Bowser. The Pokemon Turtonator sort of looks like Bowser because of the big shell, and the Fire and Dragon typing fit the character as well. Here is how Bowser and his representation are compared:


 * Stealth Rock is Bowser littering his castle with obstacles to give Mario a hard time getting to him.
 * Clanging Scales is Bowser "clanging" his hammers around at Mario.
 * Roar is the roar that Bowser does in the New Super Mario Bros games when you first encounter him in battle and doing more later on as well.
 * Intimidate is Bowser trying to mock and threaten Mario when they see each other in the 3D games.
 * Spiky Shield is Bowser literally retreating into his shell and having his shell protect himself and damage the opponent.

Strengths
Bowser's main strategy is to the setup move Stealth Rock to make Pokemon take damage upon entry. His move Roar also complements this by constantly switching out the opponent's Pokemon and making them get hurt by the entry hazards as new Pokemon switch in. This Pokemon is good at disorienting the opponent as they can never have a solid strategy when their Pokemon keep switching in and out, and during this time they are taking heavy damage, too. If this ends up not being effective, he can always do basic damage with Clanging Scales on all enemies as his STAB move.

Weaknesses
While this strategy is good on paper, in execution it has many flaws. Bowser doesn't really have much of an offense or defense. His whole strategy relies on a gimmick and anything that can stop it will make him entirely useless. Pokemon who resist Stealth Rock or use Special attacks to not take damage from Spiky Shield also nullify Bowsers's strategy and make it harder for him to deal damage to them.

Trivia

 * Bowser and Rolfo make up one of the few Pokemon pairs that share the same base Pokemon. Another is Warlus and Peacelus.
 * Considered one of the worst Pokemon in Fun Pokemon along with Snoreefant.
 * Despite the base Pokemon being called Turtonator, we frequently call Turtonator Rolfo due to us having gotten to used to the Fun Pokemon names.
 * The only reason why Bowser has Lum Berry is so he would have an item at all.
