OHKO Moves In Competitive Pokemon 

Thanks for the info!!

@@MoxieBoosted And being the worst thing ever apparently.

fun fact i lost 2 pokémon to a guillotine smeargle in my first vgc battle ever… truly a warm welcome to regulation f🥲🥲

Stomping Tantrum only gets the boost if the "But it failed!" message appears

@@tdawgmaster1729 Stomping Tantrum is a damage dealing move. If, on the previous turn, the user's last move missed, failed to affect each of its targets, or was prevented from being used due to an effect such as paralysis, Stomping Tantrum's power is doubled from 75 to 150.

This is hilarious

Wait is this true?

@@BladeRabbitthis is not the case. look it up

Moxie calling the shots like that one dude did with Jace the Mind Sculptor

@@klodpraisor i want pokemon tangerine myself!

God i hate quick claw

But I hate losing to chanse

@@Alpha-zb8sp Then pokemon is the wrong game for you

​@@Alpha-zb8sp How does one lose to a Chansey in this day and age?

Articuno has a tiny niche in gen 3 Smogon singles because of heal bell, though I don't think it's ever used in serious teams. It used to be able to run a rest + sleep talk pressure stall set, and I think it was used on old superman teams, but that's not very effective anymore because of the 2015 discovery of gen 3 sleep talk mechanics.

Poliwrath could do that in Gen II as well. At least there was one in Pokemon Stadium 2 which had that combo. But I guess VGC didn't exist back then.

gf: *Fuck this one bird in particular*

​@@iss2075yes, Fissure was a TM in Gen 1,so you could teach it to Poliwrath, then trade it over to gen 2 and teach it Mind Reader via level up

Didn't Accuracy and Evasion affect OHKO moves in Gen. 1 or was it only Speed?

I once landed five in a row, that was the last time my friend ever did a Pokémon battle with me until gen 8

I am a ting head

im a tingler

Building a team around him right now, love ting head

It was nature locked as relaxed, so if you wanted a different nature you couldn't use the event one.

​@@MacZephyrZ well you can change the effects of nature.

There weren't nature mints back then. I don't think they were introduced until Gen 8.

It was the worst of the three event Shiny Legendary Beasts, that is why you'd forget about it. Entei EASILY got it the best with an Adamant Nature (the ONLY better nature would be Jolly) AND BOTH Extreme Speed and Flare Blitz. The other two moves were trash, however you could slot in Stone Edge and ether Iron Head or Sacred Fire starting in Gen6. Give it a Choice Band and you have a pretty powerful threat in the lower tiers of Smogon, though I've found that Rockium Z can be used to decent effect to mitigate the risk of Stone Miss, well missing. Raikou got Aura Sphere, however it was locked to a Rash Nature (+Special Attack, -Special Defense), not Timid or Modest, and the other three moves were trash for it. You were better off using a Raikou without Aura Sphere for the flexible nature, however there is a 7th Gen set on Smogon that uses the Aura Sphere event in combination with the Fighting type Z-Crystal to deal with the rock types of RU. Suicune on the other hand got locked into a crappy nature for it (Relaxed, +Defense, -Speed) and only had one truly good move for it, Aqua Ring, which doesn't compare to Aura Sphere. OHKO moves are banned by Smogon (which I 100% agree with, unlike the complete Baton Pass ban*), so that move is unusable. Given that event mons are often banned (even if they're not Mythical) there is no place that you can use it. *I'm not arguing that something had to be done with Baton Pass, but outright banning the move was just too far. Banning it being combined with ways to boost stats and things that can be passed (Mean Look, Ingrain, etc.) would have allowed it to be used as a pivot move that couldn't be countered by Pursuit, removing some healthy counterplay to Pursuit-Trapping in the process.

​@@AceAviations2are they able to be traded up to SV while retaining the event moves?

Lmao my apologies

Only if its used against you. If youre the one using it, you will never hit

If it’s not 100% it’s 50% and if it’s 30% it’s 100% against you

Depression 😔

Lol

Ye it's like 15 minutes

Fun fact that's the main character from That 70s Show

No, ohkos don't take into account evasion

@@MoxieBoosted thanks for the tip appreciate it

That's not how it works

No

@@MoxieBoosted Thank you.

And I time stamped it just for you ❤️❤️

@@MoxieBoosted I know I’m just fucking around lol

Same thing

Timestamps were made for a reason 👍

​@@MoxieBoosted True but also most people are just going to click off rather than use them either way Openings really important on RU-vid videos for retention. I almost clicked off from how long the ad was where I certainly would have just skipped/sat thru if it was after I had already been invested into the video.

@@christopheringram3597 why should he even waste all his time continuing to make videos for us if you can’t even bother to support him for His time with the ad that’s helping him pay for all the effort he put in?

@@Dp_Unkemptharold he's selling a product lol he doesn't need my sympathy. I watched his video, ad included, I'm just talking from an objective point with how you decide where to place ads. Also weirdo parasocial relationship alert lol

@@christopheringram3597 exactly so if you don’t want to see the add don’t watch

Wonder why

I put the timestamp in for a reason
