Does Onix have rizz?

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.

A bunch of rocks have rizz? Roblox kids, what have you done?

They have done far too much damage to me already. You still have time to save yourself, just don’t think about it too hard

Well, it's too late for you, yeah.
