Speaking of which, even with Entrainment banned you can still duplicate Choice Scarves because Gardevoir has both Trace and Skill Swap, meaning you can copy the opponent’s Scarf (either one that they already had or one that you SS’d onto them with someone else) and if they switch, you can swap...

Agreed that Imprison trapping is probably pushing it (though since Imprison applies to the user rather than the target, all you have to do is switch in on something that can’t threaten you and if the opponent can’t OHKO or outspeed you with whatever they switch into, Imprison -> Trap ->...

I don’t entirely disagree, but imo you’re overselling how easily you can get an entrainment user in after the first time. Other than Araquanid, none of them are particularly good at taking a hit, so you have to rely on a slow pivot to start that mixup in the first place, and even then it only...

So I did some testing and found that if you’re holding a Sticky Barb in a move slot and get hit by a contact move by an opponent without an item, the opponent will be forced to hold whatever is currently in your item slot. It doesn’t duplicate the item, so in practice this mostly serves as a...

One thing I think people need to consider re: Entrainment scarf is that unlike with trick or skill swap, you’re still locked into using Entrainment again after you use it, so even if you aren’t willing to dedicate a slot on your team to countering it, if someone gives you a scarf and you’re...

Can confirm this isn’t true, or at least isn’t always true. I ran Glimmora with Corrosion in the move slot and Gweezing is still immune to Toxic from it. Also I’m not sure if this is a gameplay bug or a UI issue, but I entrained a scarf onto an imposter ditto and the game claimed that Imposter...

Seems like some items still activate infinitely, I played against someone earlier who was spam flinging a Big Nugget with Zarude to sweep. It got removed by Knock Off too so it was definitely in the item slot, but it wasn’t getting removed

Entrainment + Choice Scarf is definitely cheesy but imo it only auto wins you games against other cheese strats and maybe stall. I think the bigger issue is that, even though ability changes are permanent, the UI doesn’t reflect that. I’ve definitely won games because of the opponent not...

For the record, I was being completely serious about evio + av chansey being real (though maybe not the serene grace + ice beam part). Longevity with boots is probably a good idea, but if you’re spamming physical walls anyway then imo you can probably get away with throwing in defog corv instead

Did some testing and found out that Shell Bell healing will always run after Life Orb recoil when you run both of them, meaning that you can minmax Eruption/Water Spout/Dragon Energy mons by running LO + SB + type plate + type item and the LO won’t decrease your damage as long as you’re OHKOing...

let’s go gambling (Chansey) @ serenegrace Ability: eviolite Tera Type: Dark EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Seismic Toss - Ice Beam - Leftovers - assaultvest this meta is very cool and pretty funny i think
