Most Pokémon gain something when they evolve, like whiskers, plants, wings, etc. etc. etc. You name it. Not the Mareep evolution line: Mareep gradually loses some of its wool. In fact, the final evolution Ampharos doesn't even have wool anymore. It really doesn't resemble a sheep anymore, either, but Ampharos is still the most awesome Pokémon in this evolution line. Why? Well, first of all it is the strongest, obviously. But I like Ampharos because it normally looks so cute (yeah, not on the picture aside, but whatever). I don't really like Mareep and Flaaffy, but Gamefreak actually managed to make a final evolution the cutest, in my opinion. Not to mention it could easily serve as a lighthouse by lighting up its red orbs on its head and tail (which it actually did in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold and SoulSilver). So how does Ampharos put up in video game battles? Just great. It's very slow indeed, but its special attack stat is absolutely fantastic, plus it has got some nice defenses to make up for its mediocre speed. You shouldn't really use its attack stat, but it may pull off a nice physical-based attacking move. You really should stick with special-based moves, because that's what Ampharos exceeds in. It learns Power Gem and Signal Beam naturally for some nice rock- and bug-type coverage, and it can learn practically every electric-type move. Definitely go with Discharge and Thunderbolt (Thunder is kind of inaccurate and Ampharos' special attack is so high that it's definitely capable of taking out an opponent in one hit with Thunderbolt and/or Discharge, anyway). It also has just one weakness: ground. With such an Ampharos you have a great addition to your team! Oh, by the way... Did I mention Ampharos is getting a Mega Evolution? Yep, that's right, Gamefreak has changed its design and has added an extra type to this new form: dragon-type! That is absolutely fantastic; Mega Ampharos will have more power, more moves, more orbs and more... wool? Or is it hair? Decide for yourself, you can see the picture below (click on it to enlarge it, or drag it to another tab).
