Why is it SO EMOTIONAL? I've seen people talking about how it is better not to have watched Rogue One before Andor but having watched (and liked) Rogue One before makes Andor S2 ending SO MUCH HEAVY. I'm grieving right now. Disney didn't have the right to make me cry for a franchise I spent most of my life not caring about. I need something to ease my pain please don't be harsh with me

What a prick!! Just die already

((Currently at s2 episode 6, he's teasing Andor about him "let him down" please no spoilers))

I just beat Lance for the first time in my 5th-ish non-starter playthrough and once again I HAD to use Granbull since I got it in my second non-starter playthrough. This guy/girl is SO reliable when it comes to a casual run. Along with the great attack stat, it has a solid physical defense + great HP + Intimidate which cripples the majority of opponents bc most use Physical attacks. And Granbull can also support your team if you want as some kind of physical bulk cleric.

I get Snubbull as soon as we get to Ecruteak so it can learn Bite and sweep Ecruteak's gym and avoid Morty's Shadow Balls.

There are some different movesets you can go with Granbull depending on the team you have or plan to build. In the images are some past Granbull's movesets I went on past playthroughs (which I posted here on this sub lol) but basically it consists of:

1 - Physical Normal-type attack: usually Return but again you can choose depending on what you want for your team. Strength can help you throughout the game and Rock Climb can come in handy when you have to face Red. Both have decent BP along with STAB and some items of choice (Silk Scarf or Muscle Band). Headbutt is great in the early game but its second effect doesn't work well on Snubbull/Granbull's poor speed.

​

2 - Crunch/Payback is basically necessary to deal with Ghost types

​

3 - Earthquake. This move needs no introduction, best move on the Pokemon franchise. You can go with Dig for a while if you want but Granbull's poor speed makes Dig somewhat unreliable

4 - Here you can go basically anywhere: standard elemental fang, Ice is the most reliable for Lance's Dragons and because of your Intimidate ability, Dragon Rush loses a great chunk of power and Aerodactyl gets crippled or you can use Thunder Fang to deal with Gyarados. You can also go with basic support moves: Scary Face, Attract, Thunder Wave or Reflect (both moves by breeding with Mareep or Stantler). Eventually you can get Heal Bell and Toxic also. Or you can go with Rock Slide/Stone Edge for some pesky flying Pokemon (if you don't want to have Ice Fang to deal with Dragons). And Granbull can also learn Close Combat (breeding) and Superpower (move tutor).

Granbull has a superior base attack than Tauros but Tauros literally out speed it. Both have Intimidate and both have solid defense but the variety of moves you can go with Granbull makes him a fun choice if you want a different team to play with. What do you think?

I was at Evanescence Reference and this gif is in the artwork section without any explanation at all about the picture of the statue. I did a Google Image search and the first result is this 1997 gothic album named Cassandra by a band called Zoar. It appears to be THE EXACT SAME PICTURE used on the Origin cover. This angel statue is one of many statues of the Highgate Cemetery in London (the same cemetery where Karl Marx's grave is, lol, a little fun fact). I wasn't able to gather more information about this specific statue but I would appreciate it if anyone here knows something. I found it odd that there's nothing about this in the Evanescence Reference site specially the seemingly/apparent reuse of a 1997 GOTHIC ALBUM COVER
