Does Onix have rizz? (lemm.ee)

Do you think that Onix has rizz? I just finished a stream where pretty much everybody agreed that Onix does not have rizz. I wanted this community’s take on the question though.

I feel like Onix definitely has rizz. It is pretty strong early on and I’m never upset to see it in the wild. It stomps charmander in the gen 1 games in the first gym, so in a way it has to get some points for that.

I’m still new to this platform so if there is a better place for me to ask this type of question please let me know. Thank you!

So, I'm used to “rizz” meaning flirtability, which I guess would be up to the individual Onix..?

But since you seem to be asking if Onix is a good Pokémon, I hate to break it to you he's pretty bad.

Onix has Rock/Ground typing... Well, Ground being there is its saving grace, Rock sucks as a type, with all its common weaknesses and few offensive ability.

Furthermore, Onix has abysmal stats; it has really high Physical Defence but the same HP stat as a Hoppip and the same Special Defence stat as a Mareep; so zero survivability.

If it's not a tank, it could be a good sweeper, right? Well, it's got OK Speed, but the Attack stat of a fucking Budew!

If it's supposed to get rizz points for defeating a first-out-of-three stages Pokémon and only with type advantage, then that really shows it's bad.

Sorry harlyson, I agree with the chat that Onix's got no rizz.

First, thank you for humoring me here, I made this post when I was up waaay too late.

Second, you make a really compelling argument and I think I’ve been convinced that Onix, in fact, has no rizz.
