I'll sum it up here :
Aipom is a fast bulky support tank sweeper baton passer paralysis spreader staller pivot taunter lategame clearner pursuiter etc etc, and it's a monkey (monk included), give the lee sin of lc A tier pls
ok more seriously
Aipom is a
-Fast (access to 19 speed aka perfect speedtier)
-Bulky (innate 22/18/18 defs w/ evio without investment - more than mienfoo)
-Versatile with support abilities (Movepool includes : Normal attacks + Fake out + Knock off + Brick Break + U-turn + Elemental punches + Gunk Shot + Pursuit + Thunder Wave + Taunt + Seed Bomb (+ Baton pass + Hone Claws + several other things) )
-Sweeper with the most insane mechanic, like, ever : Stabbed Skill Link Fury Swipes
Eviolite Jolly Aipom will do AT LEAST, using Skill Link Fury Swipes :
20 damages to targets under 11 def (or more but there's no one at 8... except abra maybe ? Then it's 30 damages in his face)
15 damages to target between 12 and 23 def
5 damages to targets over 24 def (spritzee, porygon, vullaby)
Eviolite Adamant Aipom will do AT LEAST, using Skill Link Fury Swipes :
20 damages to targets under 12 def (like knocked off offensive foo. Because the fact Adamant Aipom 47% wins 1v1 with offensive foo is like, completely legit.)
15 damages to target between 13 and 24 def
5 damages to targets over 25 def (whores)
This means every single mon in LC that isn't known as a miniature china wall will gets 2HKOed. (and even with that, adamant 2HKOes everybody. Add seed bomb for Tirtouga). Some China wall only gets 3HKOed as you have to knock them off first. (they can't hurt u anyway) Brick Break and Knock off provides perfect synergy with this move, Brick break rekking bs like pawniard that thought they could hurt you and will end up doing 40% damage with their iron head and get ohkoed, and knock off ... being knock off.
It's kinda ridiculous, without even using fake out aipom wins the 1v1 with all the S/A+ mons except fighting types (and there are some cases it actually wins !)
Offensive mienfoo ? Knock off, tanks max atk adamant drain punch, 47% to OHKO with fury swipes.
Misdreavus ? Spam knock off, even if burned not like dazzling gleam will do any damages lol
Pawniard ? Let's laugh
It's insane to handle for any team. Setup based teams will cry because of priority + difficulty to get rid of Aipom ; Usual glass offenses will struggle because of its speed/bulk/damages and the extreme lack of checks, and stalls will go mad of this thug monkey knocking off everything (and if you have taunt...)
And when i'm talking of lack of check i'm serious. You have to seek for the few able to 1v1 aipom, none can safely switch into Aipom. Do you know any mon able to lose 30 hp ?!? No, don't say max hp munchlax pls. It won't even work actually, there's a 47% chance fury swipes will do more than the min damages (15 / 20)
The safest i would see is defensive tirtouga / defensive evio archen (if aipom doesn't have seed bomb ofc, and at the price of their eviolite)
[EDIT : The safest 100% is tanky flame body ponyta]
Even it's typing is ok : Normal is indeed bad, but it is what makes him able to use Fury Swipes so effectively. It also brings nearly no weakness : only fighting.
Actually Aipom only fears three things : Statuses, Fury Swipes misses (80% acc) and Tanky fighters.
Which is why Spritzee + Aipom is absolutely insane.
Let's conclude on the funniest : Life Orb set - aipom gains 5 damages on his previously 15/20 damages roll, making them 20/25 !
I heard sonicboom was banned ...
