Splash has 64 PP and could be abused?
I ran a very similar Riolu, and while it does its job well, it doesn't stop the opponent from doing their job - Black Sludge and status will continue to lower the opponent's health after you Roar out a new Pokemon.I came up with this set:
Riolu @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 252 Spe
IVs: 5 HP / 5 Atk / 4 Def / 4 SAtk / 4 SDef / 29 Spe
Jolly Nature
-Roar
-Copycat
-Protect / Subsitute
-Hidden Power [Poison]
Never. Berserk Gene is not programmed into any game after the second generation. As far as that Deo-A set goes, it seems too slow and tricky to get to work.Berserk Gene (when will this get released?)
If I do this, the set has absolutely no way of avoiding Taunt, which is the entire point of Magic Guard / Mental Herb. The entire point is to Perish Trap yourself, and the extra bulk + Ingrain is there to ensure that you pull it off.I like the PerishTrapping Smeargle set but I'd go with Whirlwind + Knock Off and Toxic Orb, so in case you fail to get off Perish Song you can still outstall yourself with Toxic Orb.
Word.Alakazam is really good in this metagame.
Baton Pass Smeargle... Gotta try that someday
If Magic Room was so good that it got banned, would Embargo spam be worth anything?
Also, would Pain Split on a low HP Pokemon be good to bring down your HP and bring theirs up?
I don't see why last Last Resort should be banned since it is not OP and also is a niche move, after all it does force you to not use all your moves. Synchronoise is something completely different though, it is also a niche move that is situational, but sometimes it might be a bit rare for it to even hit. Definitely suspected for banning. Snatch also might see some competitive use since, unlike standard play, most moves are easily taken advantage of.Snatch is a nice move. Snatching a substitute or a Belly Drum can be very nice.
Please ban the moves Synchronoise and Last Resort.
Synchronoise will only hit Pokémon with the same type as the user and Last Resort only if all other moves are already used.
Splash is a really bad move in Suicide Cup and should never even be considered to be used.Azurill with toxic orb, protect (to take thunder waves) splash, substitute and bubble seems like it would work
This set is ingenious and should always be considered for a team slot, I can see this set having a few problems too, since some pokemon can kill themselves faster. this is definitely a set to prepare for.Theorymonning only, but:
Smeargle @ Choice Scarf
- Sketch
- attacking move
- filler
- filler
Run max speed, min physical attack. Start by using Sketch on nothing; it fails. Then Struggle to death. This achieves a self-KO in just four turns (if your HP is divisible by 4), faster than most of the other methods I've seen. The great thing about that set is that Taunting it doesn't hurt it at all, unless you're Taunted on the switch.
One filler should be Trick/Switcheroo, otherwise your scarf can be stolen by Trick usersTheorymonning only, but:
Smeargle @ Choice Scarf
- Sketch
- attacking move
- filler
- filler
Skill Swap Alakazam can guarantee a win in the last turn, But it can be countered by other means, Such as KO'ing it on purpose, or suiciding a pokemon that can kill itself no matter what (Even with Magic Guard).Isn't magic herb skill swap alakazam instant win, since you can just wait for your opponent to get down to one pokemon and then just make them immune to all damage? seems a bit strong imo
It would be REALLY lovely if I could just end the poll now, too bad only an Administrator can do that. You can Arcticblasts reply herewhen will the poll end?
It isn't banned, look at all the posts (should be on page 2)Is Fling banned? because if your own pokemon doesn't have an item it fails :I.
