While not great it can annoy the opponent to no end as it has no problems switching in in this meta where the Tapus are pretty much in every team. Lightning Rod gives it a nice immunity and it learns Encore, Nuzzle (100% chance to cause Paralysis that can`t be affected by Taunt and breaks Sash...

I really want this thing to be viable, but it`s so difficult to use. Finding an opportunity to set up in this meta is hard.

I do this too, btw. They do cover each other nicely.

It's true. In fact, iirc, Persian-A is banned online because of that (or Parting Shot is) until they fix it.

You can run Toxic so that it hinders defensive mons even more alongside Taunt.

Apparently the calculator has Anchor Shot as a Rock type, so it hit Mega Pinsir SE X4. I don`t know if during an actual battle with Dhelmise Anchor Shot is also considered rock type, if so it needs to be fixed.

That explains a lot actually.

I`m honestly baffled. I thought this mon was garbage since it`s release. Just another "filler" mon or "gimmick" mon...and yet it`s good. I feel so trolled right now XD

Well, it can take an Aqua Jet from Choice Band Azu and then heal itself up because after taking 1 it won`t die to the second due to the boost (252hp, 252 def, bold). At least there`s that, it can kinda check Azu but only predicting the Aqua Jet, switching into Waterfall is not a good idea at...

Any reason for running Gyro Ball? Just went to the Showdown calculator and it seems that anything 123 base speed or less is always hit harder by Anchor Shot. Gyro Ball starts hitting harder from base 124 and up (and only if they aren`t electric type, you hit those harder with Anchor Shot no...

What`s the 40Def EV on the OP for? Trying to find what it survives by doing that instead of going all on SpDef but I can`t find any posts on that.

It was my bad, it`s on the OP. 28 def EV helps it survive a +1 Flare Blitz from Mega CharX. I shold have read it all.

How am I in the wrong thread? I`m asking if Tsareena and Marowak could be good partners for Wishiwashi :/

You could run it, but why would you? What he said is quite true, Toxic, Haze and Recover are just too good together. Therefore you absolutely need 1 attack to not be destroyed by Taunt.

Could Tsareena and Marowak-A be good partners? They seem to cover each other's weaknesses pretty well (and Tsareena can Rapid Spin for Marowak-A and Play Rough the dark types he brings).

I think it might be that some interaction with Sitrus Berry got confused with the entire ability. If I`m understanding right, it might be that Sitrus Berry activates and heals Golisopod so his ability won`t trigger in that instance but I haven`t tested this. I`m testing ingame whether Leech Life...

Why does the OP say Emergency Exit won`t activate again if you are healed? That`s false, at least ingame (maybe it`s different on Showdown, in which case they need to fix this). Go to the Battle Tree or any trainer you haven`t fought yet. Use Golisopod and spam False Swipe or something that...

In my eyes he keeps getting better and better. Also, I confirmed ingame that you can re-use EE if you are healed to full by ZParting Shot, which btw, ignores Taunt. Meaning that either Persian-A or Type:Null (or its evo) are good partners for it to increase the longevity and use the ability further.

Btw guys, Zmoves can`t be Taunted at all. Mimikyu could get some benefit from this. I don`t know if it`s relevant but it`s at least another tool it has.

While true, that part has nothing to do with what was discussed :/ Edit: Literally just tested it ingame on the Battle Tree and it works. Golisopod fights, activates Emergency Exit and you switch into Persian-A. Persian-A ate a Taunt and Z-Parting Shot still activates (didn`t know that)...
