I’ve started using regular Grasspon and it’s… surprisingly good. Compresses encore support, knock support, emergency speed control, and a surprise late game cleaner. You lose out on the extra power of Waterpon, but in return you can run Boots and pack a surprise speed boost with Tera. Matches up better against Garg and can shut it down with encore. Defiant is also a cool ability now that Lando is more common. Also, a fun interaction is swapping into Corviknight’s defog, getting a +2 attack boost, and then encoring it into defog to get yet another attack boost :)
Grasspon doesn’t work on every team, but for balance builds wanting an emergency speed control, Garg check, and cheesey wincon it can really shine.
