But whimsicott also has tailwind support
lucario actually gets steadfast, so i wasn't completely off with the ability
seems useless in competitive though
I was trying to remember if whimsicott had a flinching move or something
beat up king's rock whimsicott
lets go
indeedee fem psychic surge follow me with zen darmanitan belly drum then switching in to stonjourner and dmaxing the darmanitan
How did no one use that in vgc?
Darmanitan in general
back in 2012 VGC?
this gen
VGC hasn't started yet
Well, that image you posted earlier, whatever that was related to
that was a local
oh i thought that was online ranked
I don't really understand all the layers to doubles
apparently the 2020 rules have finally been announced
Did you deoxys-attack is legal in smogon doubles ou?
there is no difference between gigantamax and dynamax?
gigantamax is worse but you aren't allowed to use it
It's generally worse
is this really just because of duraludon and butterfree?
Just because the only difference is the g-max move
Maybe gengar? Trapping is only kind of good when you're working with limited turns
G-Max Depletion doesnt seem that good
Not like the normal max ghost is useful
hazards are so infrequently used in vgc, and rapid spin is good now
Excadrill is basically S tier
until it gets tapped by dracovish
i didnt know we were back in gen 6 meta
I think dragapult will be up there with him
You mean gen 5
Gen 6 was lando and heatran as the s tiers
is excadril only popular because of the sand speed boost?
still he was pretty prevalent in gen 6
No, excadrill is just a good mon
He was, yeah
I liked using the spdef set with mold breaker
won't he die to dracovish in one shot if he loses the speed war?
The most common ones were sand rush sd and scarfed mold breaker
Due to sand rush?
i think excadrill will almost always win with speed against dracovish
Drill is much faster
what about with tailwind?
okay well duh
And really, I think strong jaw is just the best set for dracovish
of course
Giving weather abilities to the fossils is bizarre
though you could sand rush it to try to beat excadrill
very close base speeds
It'd have to be an admant drill vs jolly vish
or scarfed vish vs not scarfed drill
Yes okay, you have made the most optimal set
That's the another problem with the fossils, dynamax isn't the best with them
or just use the cotton ball and tail wind
maybe that will be the most overused pokemon
I've seen a bunch of scarfed ones on rain
i'm pretty sure both pro players i've been following use cottonee a ton
I hate the meta being dominated by all these ugly things
impdick doesn't learn beatup
rip alternate prankster user
Boltund and dubwool are just so unassuming in comparison
Whimsicott is better for that anyway
looks like the useful things grimmsnarl can do can also be done by whimsicott
I prefer that for a bulk up set, and idk if it's the best at pulling it off
Maybe spdef resttalk
Since it'll have priority on healing, raising its defense, and on any move pulled from sleep talk
okay catching Zacian is actually hell
i might actually have to master ball this fuck
just quickball
Seems like every generation game freak releases an overpowered steel/fairy
Klefki pog4
Prankster swagger was hell
Magearna
yeah but klefki wasn't banned by VGC
Doubles is completely different
Snorlax is banned but deoxys-attack is allowed
