#khufo

I'm honestly convinced that Khufo is just objectively worse than Triphinx in every conceivable way. Its ONLY stat that's higher than Triphinx is melee attack, however Triphinx can use Shield Bash or Brace for Impact to effectively have 140 melee attack, which isn't much lower (and ranged attack is just more useful in general anyways). Not only that, but I've found Astral to be a worse type than Metal in most circumstances, yeah the free AP boosts is nice and all but I hope you weren't planning on using any status moves when a Metal opponent comes in. Sure, Khufo has like the exact same movepool and more, but the only notable move I can think of that Khufo has but Triphinx doesn't is Toxic Stab, which there are definitely better users for and Triphinx gets much better utility out of most of the moveset. The one benefit Khufo has over Triphinx is that it's more versatile when it comes to melee attacks, but there are definitely better mixed attackers out there, even just in terms of squishy ones (Scampire says hi). I'm sure Khufo has a niche, but I just can't see anyone choosing it in favor of Triphinx in 90% of situations, which is especially ironic since Khufo is the hidden evolution while Triphinx is the default.
