@ShiningJudgment666 Год назад

Jaw Lock makes attempting to pivot into it very dangerous in singles. It could use something that's useless against it as set-up fodder and then blast through the opposing team. It's bulkier than Salamence on the Special side and comparable on the physical side if Intimidate isn't factored in (Roaring Moon has higher base HP to offset the lower base Defense).

I think Sandy shocks right now actually has one very valuable use. It's one of only FIVE pokemon in this entire generation currently capable of having the move Gravity. And one of only TWO pokemon that learn it by leveling up, the other being Stonjourner. Being able to set up Gravity has a ton of uses, not only for sandy shocks but for the whole team. Not only does it make all pokemon grounded, viable to terrains and to a lesser extent entry hazards, but it also makes flying pokemon vulnerable to ground moves.. not that important admittedly since sandy shocks is also electric, but it also has one major, MAJOR use. It multiplies the accuracy stat by 1.67 for all pokemon on the field. This is more than enough to make sandy shocks thunder attack 100% accurate outside of rain. And can allow the entire team to run less accurate but powerful moves more reliably.

@milkshake8934 Год назад

King's Rock Maushold is very happy

@NotZeph Год назад

This is why I've really wanted to use Sandy Shocks myself! With booster energy and speed investment, it's as fast as if it were Scarfed, making it the fastest and most consistent mon in the regional dex for setting up Gravity (and its strongest STAB benefits from the accuracy boost). Really lookin forward to trying Shocks and Flapple together once the Paradox mons are allowed.

@DoABarrelRol1l Год назад

As a Gravity coinsure thats a neat idea- but yeah the nice part of Graviety for me has been the #1 the accuracy boost and #2 the Earthquake spam- so not being able to is kind of sadge. I guess there's always terra-typing when you send in your Ground-buddy. Also just for some diversity using Zap Cannon over Thunder could be fun but that's just 84% accuracy so you'd probably need to patch that up with a lens still. Getting some other low-accuracy moves like Focus Blast would be spicy too but this magnet doesn't get Lock-On so maybe GF didn't see the flavor for it.

@ciaranpatrick6859 Год назад

It’s interesting to see the differences between singles and doubles. There’s obviously some overlap, iron bundle and flutter mane were both so strong that they were banworthy, since iron bundle has insane speed and perfect neutral coverage with freeze dry + hydro pump, making it a devastating wallbreaker, and flutter mane is self explanatory. Roaring moon is also great in singles. But brute bonnet is one of the worst, since it’s so slow and weak to common types like fighting and it’s wrecked by u turn. And great tusk is probably the best in singles right now, excluding the banned ones, because of its typing offensively, it’s access to moves like knock off, stealth rock, and rapid spin for team support (it’s one of the few hazard removal options that can beat gholdengo), and it’s defensive bulk. It can run a lot of options, defensive is the most common but choiced or bulk up has been seen as well.

@@Lordmewtwo151 Great Tusk outspeeds Gholdengo naturally and even without investment, Scarf Make it Rain (the only version that can outspeed an offensive Great Tusk, then again it does not work against probably one of my favorite offensive GT set : Max HP, Max Speed Jolly Booster Energy, that way you get the speed boost) has only about a 30% chance to OHKO whereas the versions that can guarantee OHKO like LO or Specs are outsped. Meanwhile the more defensive versions of Great Tusk are outsped but Make it Rain just *bounces* off Spe Def Great Tusk (Scarf does around 35% MAX meanwhile EQ has about 50% chance to OHKO with just 4 EV).

Ive found a useful Slither Wing strat on showdown. With EVs and a good nature its possible to make slither wing and some other paradoxes have a higher speed stat than their attack stat which when combined with harsh sunlight makes them 1.5 times faster. If you then give it a choice band its attack will also be 1.5 times stronger. Since you didnt invest many attack evs you can still boost its HP or defense stats which can turn slither wing into a monster sometimes

Scream Tail is waaaaaaay underrated. It's ridiculous how low you have this thing. Before realizing it was banned, I tried using it in my first showdown team because of some really strong thing it had, I went looking for it just now and can't find it but I'm not gonna spend too long on it. What I will say is if you're running support Pokemon, this ones stats are amazing.Any defensive baton passer or if you need to lower the enemies attack, this thing does it. Psychic Fangs will remove screens. You rate it low because of it's stats, but it's stats are the thing that make it so good. It's a fast tank, that isn't specialized to deal with 1 kind of damage, and it has a solid HP pool unlike most "tanks"

I’ve been using Scream Tail a lot in raids because of how useful Howl is- it gives Attack boosts to the entire party of four there. It also helps out with the Pokemon’s impressive physical moveset. I will say that if Coaching gets reintroduced via move tutor or something I’ll probably end up using Iron Valiant more- At least I will if it has the same group effect Howl does. Also does anybody know if there are other moves like Howl that boost a full party?

@lawtrixx3448 Год назад

Also, one thing that I think Wolfey didn't mention is the fact that Slither Wing gets First Impression. I don't know if that matters that much in doubles, but STAB First Impression coming off a 135 Attack Pokémon is pretty brutal. I've killed a lot of shit with it on singles.

@sluggknight7130 Год назад

03:02 slither wing also gets access to acrobatics, and with protosinthesis + booster energy wich gets used when entering the battle it can give 'em a +1atk and boosted acrobatics. If you remember gen 5 flying gem acrobatics you should know how devastating that is but with the booster energy he gets the same boost until it switches out or faints plus it also has terastalization to absolutely nuke anything. No single type can resist both its stabs, fire (flare blitz) AND flying (acrobatics), with that he can hit normal, fighting, rock, bug, steel, grass, psychic, ice and dark. I can see how that speed stat can be devastating, but if you can get slither wing into a threatening position it has no switch ins edit: it also gets flame charge (and trailblaze) wich doesnt seem like much but with some speed control support (fast icy wind or electroweb) it can defineately be a threat, if what you dont want is speed rather being slow for trick room, spiritomb is your perfect pokemon, its slow with access to both scary face and trick room. (other options with those two moves are banette, gengar, hypno, mismagius, toedscruel and even screamtail) some sets you culd run would be : flare blitz, flame charge, close combat and acobatics (paired with speed support) or protect, flare blitz, crobatics and close combat (with trick room) I am by no means no expert but i do think wolfe is underestimating slither wing

I used Iron Jugulis recently as a support mon, mainly using tailwind and taunt to stop other support mons. it's immune to prankster and because it doesn't have prankster itself, it can taunt murkrow or grimmsnarl too (or when legendaries are legal it can taunt Wo-Chien and Ting-Lu). the only other notable support moves it gets are roar, snarl, and scary face, but at it's enough to still be noteworthy. i don't think it deserves to be top of the list, but using it as a support mon definitely is a pretty good option.
