So I got bored, and decided that I would try and play around with Amaura a bit more, since it is my favorite Pokemon. This set is really cool, as it works as a lure for a lot of things like Timburr, or Croagunk, or even Mienfoo. Basically, it turns things like Timburr or Mienfoo from counters, to being just checks, and risky checks. It's a one for one scenario, which is kinda good considering you are taking out a top tier check for something like your Carvanha in the wings, or Scraggy. You can still adapt, however, to just checking things like Dazzling Gleam Misdreavus or non HP Fight Abra, however you lose out on the wonderous opportunity that is to beat Mienfoo one on one. With a Chople Berry, you don't have to worry about things like Misdreavus coming in to ruin your fun with an 81% chance to OHKO. You can straight Thunder Wave it and cripple it. Things like Timburr hate switching in, as they are KOed by a wombo combo of Nature Power + Hyper Beam, or 2x Nature Power if you have a layer of spikes from your based af Chespin. All in all, Chople Berry is a cool item, and can definitely lead to unpredictabillity in the metagame if you play well. Hopefully this post spurs some innovation to try new things that can take on the metagame, like Chople Berry Amaura :o
