[Elevator Music]

Strange that there are so many EQs in LC. I never really noticed it before beyond Gligar+Diglett (which I guess account for most of it), and the odd EQ Croagunk.

 

[jagged_angel]

Interesting that Psychic is one of the top ten most used Attacking moves!

 

[billymills]

With fidgit, arghonaut and revenakh in the top 8, it's not that surprising. Thanks for the list X-act.

 

[Coronis]

Awesome work as usual, X-act.

I thought grass knot would be higher, considering argho.

 

[Terminator]

Weird...EQ is so high in CAP, LC, OU, UU...LOL EQ is probably the best move ever, didn't expect it so much on LC since not many Pokemons learn it in the aforementioned tier...

 

[Cartoons!]

Given the relatively low use of Trick Room and the not even registered Gravity and Tailwind, would anyone here call the 'Persistent' aspect of Fidgit a failure?

I used a Gravity/Tailwind set in the early days of Fidgit with inconsistent success and was wondering if people who tried Persistent Fidgit found it to be unviable.

 

[jagged_angel]

Persistent is used 14% of the time, which is roughly the same as Air Lock on Rev. I think the same way that LockLight is still a viable strategy, so is Persistent Trick Room, but that Fidgit and Rev have better things to do involving their other Abilities.

It's a shame that Persistent didn't extend things by 3 turns like a Damp Rock. Also a shame that there isn't an item that can stack extra turns of TR/Gravity/Tailwind on top of Persistent.
