Pringles Man vs. The Queen of England...who will win?

[OVERVIEW]

Jellicent's unique Water / Ghost typing allows it to check a plethora of Pokemon in UU, such as Mienshao and Entei. Water Absorb allows Jellicent to wall a large amount of bulky Water-type Pokemon, such as Empoleon and Suicune, as it doesn't fear Scald burns. Jellicent also has great 100 / 70 / 105 bulk that allows it to tank physical and special hits with ease. It also has access to reliable recovery in Recover, meaning it can withstand many hits throughout the match. However, Jellicent's typing leaves it weak to Knock Off, which a lot of the Fighting-types it should wall, such as Mienshao and Heracross, tend to carry. Jellicent is a bit slow, and, as a result, cannot Taunt many fast Pokemon effectively.

[SET]
name: PB & J (Physically Defensive)
move 1: Recover
move 2: Scald
move 3: Will-O-Wisp / Toxic
move 4: Taunt
item: Leftovers
ability: Water Absorb
nature: Bold
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

Recover grants Jellicent with the ability to reliably heal any damage it has taken. Scald can inflict burns, allowing Jellicent to take physical hits better. Shadow Ball can be used as a STAB move, as Ghost-types have one resistance and one immunity. Will-O-Wisp spreads burns more easily than Scald, while Toxic puts special attackers and other Pokemon not bothered by burns on a timer. Taunt allows Jellicent to beat slow setup sweepers such as Suicune while also blocking recovery from Pokemon such as Umbreon and Florges. Ice Beam can be used instead to hit Salamence hard, OHKOing it after Stealth Rock damage.

Set Details
========

Leftovers provide Jellicent with passive recovery. Maximum HP and Defense EVs allow Jellicent to take physical hits better, as it already has decent special bulk. The last 4 EVs are put into Speed to outrun other base 60 Speed Pokemon such as Empoleon. A Bold nature is used to further augment Jellicent's physical bulk. An alternate EV spread of 240 HP / 64 Def / 204 Spe can be used to outrun base 85 Speed Pokemon such as Suicune and Gligar and beat them 1v1.

Usage Tips
========

Jellicent should be coming in on bulky setup Pokemon such as Cresselia, Snorlax, and Suicune, to beat them 1v1, as Taunt shuts down their setup and recovery moves. Jellicent can also come in on weak special hits because its great special bulk and its immunities allow for more switch-ins than normal; however, it must be wary, as most of the Fighting-types that it walls carry Knock Off. Jellicent can also check a plethora of common physical attackers such as Entei, Darmanitan, Mega Swampert, Cobalion, and Lucario. Jellicent's access to Taunt, which shuts down all forms of reliable recovery and status moves, allows it to wear down the foe fairly quickly with its own status moves.

Team Options
========

Bulky Ground-types such as Gligar and Krookodile appreciate Jellicent's Water-type immunity and can provide Stealth Rock support. Krookodile in particular is a great partner, as its Dark typing covers Jellicent's weaknesses. Entry hazard support is essential, as Jellicent can force a lot of switches and shut down recovery on slower Pokemon. Partners such as Forretress and Krookodile can lay down Stealth Rock, and Jellicent can spinblock fairly well thanks to its Ghost typing. Entry hazard removal is also great, as Jellicent is susceptible to all types of entry hazards. Pokemon such as Forretress or Crobat can provide reliable Rapid Spin and Defog support and can help keep momentum with Volt Switch and U-turn, respectively, allowing Jellicent to come in safely. Cleric support from Florges is great, as Jellicent hates being worn down by status ailments, which it cannot get rid of on its own.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

A specially defensive spread of 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD can make use of Jellicent's better Special Defense stat; however, most of Jellicent's weaknesses are to special moves, and the Pokemon it should wall are physical attackers. Colbur Berry can be used instead of Leftovers, as Jellicent still has access to recovery without it, and the item allows Jellicent to tank powerful Dark-type moves and retaliate with Scald or Will-O-Wisp. Trick Room is a nice support option for teammates such as Mega Abomasnow, allowing them to outspeed Pokemon that they normally wouldn't outspeed. Jellicent itself can abuse Trick Room, launching powerful STAB Water Spouts. Remember to use 0 Speed IVs and a negative nature to be as fast as possible under Trick Room.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Dark-types**: Most common Dark-types, such as Hydreigon and Absol, are not only able to threaten Jellicent with a super effective STAB move, but also outspeed it. However, burns from Scald or Will-O-Wisp cripple a lot of Dark-types, so they cannot switch in reliably.

**Grass-types**: Pokemon such as Roserade and Shaymin, with their ability Natural Cure, can wall Jellicent, as they resist Scald and can cripple Jellicent with a super effective STAB move.

**Pokemon with Guts**: Pokemon such as Heracross and Machamp can come in and take advantage of Jellicent's prowess at spreading status, as they gain an Attack boost from it, enabling them to overpower Jellicent.

Tbh I wouldn't mention Feraligatr in C&C, it gets burned / poisoned without Sub since Adamant Crunch doesn't OHKO without a boost. Jellicent does lose 1v1 due to Crunch still cleaning it after burn but then Gatr is crippled and the next thing coming in after Jelli doesn't have to worry much. I'd mention how WoW / Scald burns can cripple a lot of the dark-types though, so they can't switch-in well. You could probably mention Taunt in C&C considering it shuts down Jellicent for the most part as Jelli can't recover and is easily worn down. Perhaps also a mention of Guts Pokemon in C&C since they can come in on Toxic / WoW / Scald burn and easily wreck Jelli. You could also probably expand Usage Tips with something about how it can deal with bulky Water types since Taunt ensures no solid recovery / use of Heal Bell and status racks up. Speaking of status Jelli is crippled by it so that could probably also go into C&C. I hate saying this repeatedly but it feel like this is common courtesy though so just as a reminder, I'm not QC :P

Ok all this has been implemented. Thanks Kreme, you have been a good "non QC-er" lol
 
hello

some things

Jellicent should be switched into Fighting-types locked into their STAB moves or a resisted hit to allow it to Recover off the damage or cripple the opponent with a Scald or Will-O-Wisp.
Click to expand...

Jellicent doesn't really need to come in on a resisted hit, it has high special bulk to it can take weak special attacks very well. In addition, the main purpose of using Jellicent is its utility in shutting down bulky set-up mons. You should be switching it in on things like cune, reuniclus, snorlax, cresselia, etc. in order to stop their set-up.

Take specs out of OO, it's not particularly good. OO should have a specially defensive set and colbur berry

Taunt as a CC isn't something I necessarily agree with. Jellicent still has Scald, and it's not like a lot of Taunt users (Krook, Aero, Crobat) want to take a scald.

Fire-types such as Entei and Rotom-H appreciates Jellicent's ability to cripple physical attackers with Will-O-Wisp while also threatening Rock-types such as Rhyperior with its STAB Scald.

I don't get this? Those 2 mons are going to be spreading burns themselves.

I changed the description in Usage Tips, mentioning what you said. Took Specs out of OO and added the SpD set and Colbur Berry. Also removed Taunt from C&C.
 
  • The spread runs too much speed. Outspeeding Gligar isn't important, and sure beating CroCune is nice but it isn't worth all the physical bulk Jellicent loses. For example, a spread of 240 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe is only a 3HKO for Mega Swampert's Earthquake, while the current one is 2HKOed. In my opinion, Jelly needs all the physical defense investment it can get. It can still outspeed common slower defensive Pokemon like Empoleon, Reuniclus, Snorlax, and Slowking and Taunt them. Mention in set details though, that you can invest more in Speed to outspeed Suicune and other faster defensive Pokemon like Florges.
  • Shadow Ball deserves a mention under Moves.
  • Mention in Usage Tips that it can check quite a few physical attackers including Entei, Lucario, Mega Swampert, Cobalion, and Darmanitan.
  • Mention in Team Options that it likes cleric support from the likes of Florges as it is vulnerable to status. It also appreciates Defog / Rapid Spin support as it's affected by all hazards.

Ok so I moved the spread to Set Details and just maxed out Defense and HP; Shadow Ball is mentioned in Moves; Usage Tips and Team Options updated. Thanks, :)
 
Whoops, forgot to post the check after you implemented my changes

QC 2/3
 
Finally got the time to write this up so it is written and ready for the last check. :)

Jellicent's unique Water / Ghost typing allows it to check a plethora of Pokemon in UU such as Mienshao and Entei. Water Absorb also allows it to wall a low large amount(I'm assuming you're trying to say "a large amount" but low means "a small amount." Keep "low" instead of "large amount" if I'm wrong) of bulky Water Pokemon such as Empoleon and Suicune,(add comma) as it doesn't have to fear Scald burns. It also has great all around 100 / 70 / 105 bulk, which that allows it to tank physical and special hits with ease. It also has access to reliable recovery in Recover, meaning it can withstand many hits throughout the match. However, while it has a lot of positives, its typing leaves it weak to Knock Off, which a lot of the Fighting-types it should wall, such as Mienshao and Heracross, tend to carry. Jellicent also is a bit slow and, as a result, cannot Taunt many fast Pokemon effectively. leaving it wanting to run speed to taunt faster Pokemon but in doing so, Jellicent cripples its overall bulk.(this entire sentence is pretty sloppy and most info seems unnecessary)

Water Absorb allows it to wall a large amount of bulky Water-type Pokemon such as Empoleon and Suicune, as it doesn't have to fear Scald burns. It also has great 100 / 70 / 105 bulk that allows it to tank physical and special hits with ease.

However its typing leaves it weak to Knock Off, which a lot of the Fighting-types it should wall, such as Mienshao and Heracross, tend to carry. Jellicent is a bit slow and, as a result, cannot Taunt many fast Pokemon effectively.

PB & J Physically Defensive (cool it with the punny names unless it's something notorious)
########
name: PB & J Physically Defensive
move 1: Recover
move 2: Scald
move 3: Will-O-Wisp / Toxic
move 4: Taunt
ability: Water Absorb
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
nature: Bold

Moves
========

Recover grants Jellicent longevity with the ability to reliably heal any damage it has taken. Scald deals can inflict (the change from "deal" to "inflict" is subjective) burns, allowing Jellicent to take physical hits better. Shadow Ball can be used as a STAB move that has no resistances and only one immunity. The choice of status depends on the opposing team. Will-O-Wisp spreads burns a lot easier more easily (subjective change) than Scald, while Toxic puts special attackers and other Pokemon not bothered by burns on a timer. Taunt allows Jellicent to beat up slow setup sweepers such as Suicune while also blocking recovery from Pokemon such as Umbreon and Florges. Ice Beam can be used instead to hit Mence Salamence hard, OHKOing it after rocks Stealth Rock damage.

Set Details
========

Leftovers provides Jellicent with passive recovery. Maximum HP and Defense EVs allow Jellicent to take physical hits better, as it has decent natural special bulk. The last 4 EVs are put into Speed to outspeed other base 60 Speed Pokemon such as Empoleon. A Bold nature is used to further augment Jellicent's physical bulk. An alternate EV spread of 240 HP / 64 Def / 204 Spe can be used to outrun base 85 Speed Pokemon such as Suicune and Gligar and beat them 1v1.

Usage Tips
========

Jellicent should be coming in on bulky setup Pokemon such as Cresselia, Snorlax, and Suicune to beat them 1v1, (AC) as Taunt shuts down their setup and recovery moves. Jellicent can also come in on weak special hits thanks to because its great special bulk and its immunities allows for more switch-ins than normal; however, it must be wary, as most of the Fighting-types that it walls carry Knock Off. Jellicent can also check a plethora of common physical attackers such as Entei, Darmanitan, Mega Swampert, Cobalion, and Lucario. Jellicent's access to Taunt, which shuts down all forms of reliable recovery and status moves, allows it to wear down the opponent foe fairly quickly with its own status moves.

Team Options
========

Bulky Ground-types such as Gligar and Krookodile appreciate Jellicent's Water-type immunity and can provide Stealth Rock support. Krookodile in particular is a great partner, as its secondary Dark typing covers Jellicent's weaknesses even better. Entry hazard support is essential, as Jellicent can force a lot of switches and shut down recovery on slower Pokemon. Partners such as Forretress and Krookodile can lay down Stealth Rock. Jellicent can spinblock fairly well thanks to its bulk. Entry hazard removal is also great, as Jellicent is susceptible to all types of entry hazards. Pokemon such as Forretress or Crobat can provide reliable Defog support and momentum with Volt Switch and U-turn, respectively, allowing Jellicent to come in safely. Cleric support from Florges is really great, as Jellicent hates being worn down by status ailments (subjective change), which it cannot get rid of on its own.

Other Options
########

A specially defensive spread (state EVs and nature) can make use of Jellicent's better defensive Special Defense stat; however, most of Jellicent's weaknesses are to special moves, and the Pokemon it should wall are physical attackers. Colbur Berry can be used instead of Leftovers, as Jellicent still has access to recovery without it, and the item allows Jellicent to tank powerful Dark-type moves and counter retaliate with a burn Scald or Will-O-Wisp. Trick Room is a nice support option for teammates such as Mega Abomasnow, allowing them to outspeed Pokemon that they normally wouldn't outspeed. Jellicent itself can abuse Trick Room, firing off launching (never say "fire off") powerful STAB Water Spouts. Remember to use 0 IVs in Speed and a negative nature to be as fast as possible under Trick Room.

Checks & Counters
########

**Dark-types**: Most common Dark-types, such as Hydreigon and Absol, are not only able to threaten Jellicent with a STAB super effective STAB move, but also outspeed it. However, burns from Scald or Will-O-Wisp cripple a lot of Dark-types, (AC) so they cannot switch in reliably.

**Grass-types**: Pokemon such as Roserade and Shaymin, with their ability Natural Cure, can wall Jellicent, as they resist Scald, and can cripple Jellicent with a super effective STAB move.

**Guts Pokemon with Guts**: Pokemon such as Heracross and Machamp can come in and take advantage of Jellicent's prowess at spreading status as they gain an Attack boost from it, enabling them to overpower Jellicent.

Jellicent's unique Water / Ghost typing allows it to check a plethora of Pokemon in UU, (AC if you want) such as Mienshao and Entei. Water Absorb allows it to wall a large amount of bulky Water-type Pokemon such as Empoleon and Suicune, as it doesn't have to fear Scald burns. It also has great 100 / 70 / 105 bulk that allows it to tank physical and special hits with ease. It Jellicent also has access to reliable recovery in Recover, meaning it can withstand many hits throughout the match. However its typing leaves it weak to Knock Off, which a lot of the Fighting-types it should wall, such as Mienshao and Heracross, tend to carry. Jellicent is a bit slow and, as a result, cannot Taunt many fast Pokemon effectively.

PB & J Physically Defensive (cool it with the punny names unless it's something notorious)
########
name: PB & J Physically Defensive
move 1: Recover
move 2: Scald
move 3: Will-O-Wisp / Toxic
move 4: Taunt
ability: Water Absorb
item: Leftovers
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
nature: Bold

Moves
========

Recover grants Jellicent longevity with the ability to reliably heal any damage it has taken. Scald deals can inflict (the change from "deal" to "inflict" is subjective) burns, allowing Jellicent to take physical hits better. Shadow Ball can be used as a STAB move that has no resistances and only one immunity. The choice of status depends on the opposing team. Will-O-Wisp spreads burns a lot easier more easily (subjective change) than Scald, while Toxic puts special attackers and other Pokemon not bothered by burns on a timer. Taunt allows Jellicent to beat up slow setup sweepers such as Suicune while also blocking recovery from Pokemon such as Umbreon and Florges. Ice Beam can be used instead to hit Mence Salamence hard, OHKOing it after rocks Stealth Rock damage.

Set Details
========

Leftovers provides Jellicent with passive recovery. Maximum HP and Defense EVs allow Jellicent to take physical hits better, as it has decent natural special bulk. The last 4 EVs are put into Speed to outspeed other base 60 Speed Pokemon such as Empoleon. A Bold nature is used to further augment Jellicent's physical bulk. An alternate EV spread of 240 HP / 64 Def / 204 Spe can be used to outrun base 85 Speed Pokemon such as Suicune and Gligar and beat them 1v1.

Usage Tips
========

Jellicent should be coming in on bulky setup Pokemon such as Cresselia, Snorlax, and Suicune to beat them 1v1, (AC) as Taunt shuts down their setup and recovery moves. Jellicent can also come in on weak special hits thanks to because its great special bulk and its immunities allows for more switch-ins than normal; however, it must be wary, as most of the Fighting-types that it walls carry Knock Off. Jellicent can also check a plethora of common physical attackers such as Entei, Darmanitan, Mega Swampert, Cobalion, and Lucario. Jellicent's access to Taunt, which shuts down all forms of reliable recovery and status moves, allows it to wear down the opponent foe fairly quickly with its own status moves.

Team Options
========

Bulky Ground-types such as Gligar and Krookodile appreciate Jellicent's Water-type immunity and can provide Stealth Rock support. Krookodile in particular is a great partner, as its secondary Dark typing covers Jellicent's weaknesses even better. Entry hazard support is essential, as Jellicent can force a lot of switches and shut down recovery on slower Pokemon. Partners such as Forretress and Krookodile can lay down Stealth Rock. Jellicent can spinblock fairly well thanks to its bulk. Entry hazard removal is also great, as Jellicent is susceptible to all types of entry hazards. Pokemon such as Forretress or Crobat can provide reliable Defog support and momentum with Volt Switch and U-turn, respectively, allowing Jellicent to come in safely. Cleric support from Florges is really great, as Jellicent hates being worn down by status ailments (subjective change), which it cannot get rid of on its own.

Other Options
########

A specially defensive spread (state EVs and nature) can make use of Jellicent's better defensive Special Defense stat; however, most of Jellicent's weaknesses are to special moves, and the Pokemon it should wall are physical attackers. Colbur Berry can be used instead of Leftovers, as Jellicent still has access to recovery without it, and the item allows Jellicent to tank powerful Dark-type moves and counter retaliate with a burn Scald or Will-O-Wisp. Trick Room is a nice support option for teammates such as Mega Abomasnow, allowing them to outspeed Pokemon that they normally wouldn't outspeed. Jellicent itself can abuse Trick Room, firing off launching (never say "fire off") powerful STAB Water Spouts. Remember to use 0 IVs in Speed and a negative nature to be as fast as possible under Trick Room.

Checks & Counters
########

**Dark-types**: Most common Dark-types, such as Hydreigon and Absol, are not only able to threaten Jellicent with a STAB super effective STAB move, but also outspeed it. However, burns from Scald or Will-O-Wisp cripple a lot of Dark-types, (AC) so they cannot switch in reliably.

**Grass-types**: Pokemon such as Roserade and Shaymin, with their ability Natural Cure, can wall Jellicent, as they resist Scald, and can cripple Jellicent with a super effective STAB move.

**Guts Pokemon with Guts**: Pokemon such as Heracross and Machamp can come in and take advantage of Jellicent's prowess at spreading status as they gain an Attack boost from it, enabling them to overpower Jellicent.
