8-BIT Luster
Completely Unviable
reserving Mega Blastoise as CHECK.
Nah I been on Smogon, just not PS/Youtube. Yes Sage of the 6 I am very much still aliveCSB's alive, but he's been letting off steam lately.
Edit: As in, not really being on Showdown/Smogon
Sounds good brother i took a 6 month AWOl lolNah I been on Smogon, just not PS/Youtube. Yes Sage of the 6 I am very much still alive
I would say this is a lot more of a check because it is limited to one stone edge switch in and is then killed the next time it tries to switch in. Maybe change this set to only Phys def so that way it is a for sure counter or change to a check because it seems better as a check.Bulky Whimsicott as a counter
Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Def or SpD / 4 SpA
Nature: Bold / Calm
Moves:
-Giga Drain
-Stun Spore / Leech Seed
-Encore / Moonblast
-U-turn
Sporting a resistance to both of Krookodile's powerful STAB moves, Whimsicott finds itself able to avoid the 2HKO from Knock Off so long as it's running HP Evs.
252+ Atk Choice Band Krookodile Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Whimsicott: 139-164 (43 - 50.7%)
252+ Atk Choice Band Krookodile Knock Off vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Whimsicott: 93-110 (28.7 - 34%)
0 SpA Whimsicott Giga Drain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Krookodile: 176-210 (53.1 - 63.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Krookodile Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Whimsicott: 191-225 (59.1 - 69.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Choice Band Krookodile Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Whimsicott: 134-158 (41.4 - 48.9%) -- 15.6% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
Combined with the healing from Giga Drain, Whimsi even dodges 2HKO from Stone Edge with some Defensive investment. In addition, Whimsicott can wreak havoc by snatching up offensive momentum with U-Turn or spreading Paralysis / Leech Seed healing. Stun Spore also serves as an emergency check to Krook in the case that Whimsicott was worn down for any reason and can't take it on. In this case it can slow Krook down for the rest of the team to take advantage of.
