Seriously. This pokemon wrecks Julia, Florinia, Fern, ZEL, Tangrowth doesn't matter whoever else. Pretty sure it should be taken out of the game or replaced by something else. I thought Gyarados was op and glad it was removed but hes not going to sweep Florinia as easily as Kricketune does. And yes, this pokemon that has never seen useful at all in the regular games is so op in reborn.
Technician Fury Cutters absolutely destroy everything. It's also fast enough to outspeed most pokemon early on. The only thing it didn't outspeed for me was Julia's Electrode.
Sup Fern? 5 Fury Cutters later, dead. Florinia? 8 cutters later, toast. It even one shot Cradily after more than two cutters. ZEL? Rip Espeon and Umbreon. Also, use Sing to put the first pokemon to sleep to get cutters up to one shot potential then just win against anything that doesnt resist bug.
Its kind of hilarious but at the same time so broken. Way more so than Gyarados was, when he was available.
Kricketune the monster.
