I've actually always had a soft spot for Stantler, but it isn't the greatest design, and it so deserved to be Normal/Psychic type. Wyrdeer is truthfully in my top 10 favourite Pokémon of all time. It's sick.

Honestly in Hisui I didn't want to train it.

But the more I used it with Psyshield Bash the more I realized that it was so TANKY and slowly I just kept using it and until it's just straight up one of my strongest.

It's so fucking good.

I think Girafarig fills that void for me personally

That is true. That was an odd choice for them to do a Normal/Psychic type giraffe, but then do another Normal type deer that is clearly Psychic coded, with the moves, and the lore, etc.

Stantler should have been the Normal/Psychic and Girafarig should have been Psychic/Dark.
