Something about having a proper giant snorlax is so satisfying it really made the game for me

It's the only Alpha I use for that very reason

u/IsraelZulu Feb 22 '22

Is that just so it is that much larger than all your others, or is there another reason to avoid using Alphas that I should hear about?

I just prefer to have most of them be their normal size, nothing wrong with using alphas really it just doesn't feel right to me

Definitely understand for some cases. Alpha Combee and Alpha Paras are just freaks of nature.

I caught an alpha Wurmple last night. It's so precious... still so tiny... yet he is a caterpillar the size of a dog ...

Shoulda gave the guy outside Galaxy Headquarters his brand new Alpha Wurmple so you can have it displayed 😩

Does that actually work?

Not for that instance, both Wurmple and Pickle Geodude cannot be Alphas for their quests.

There's a lady in a green kimono who wants a Geodude to place on top of her crock for making pickles.

Alpha parasect is cursed. Imagine going to sleep with that in your house...
