So Gen 8 is out! With it comes, well... A lot of weird things. Naturally, I wanted to try out some of the new Pokemon and abilities. So: Leek Duck (Sirfetch'd) (M) @ Wide Lens Ability: Scrappy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome...

Personally, I prefer Wonder Skin as Magic Bounce is overused and you still get debuffed on one of your 'mons with MB if it's an all-hit move. Also, it's just more satisfying to imagine opponents getting salty over their Toxic missing.

Wonder Skin! Ahhh, it's such a nice ability given all the status that bounces around... Lolita (Diancie) @ Weakness Policy Ability: Wonder Skin EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome Carmen (Cresselia) @ Weakness Policy Ability...

Updates! Team 1: Plus/Minus - A Case Study ✝OffTheDashboard (Ampharos-Mega) (M) @ Wise Glasses Ability: Plus EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome ❤ShapedSunglasses (Ampharos-Mega) (F) @ Wise Glasses Ability: Minus Shiny: Yes EVs: 252...

In the meantime while I play this out, may I present to you: The Case AGAINST Simple and Contrary, Abridged So at first gander, Simple and Contrary seem like really awesome abilities, aye? If you get a boost, auto-doubled, in the case of Simple. If you get a stat lowered, HAH! It's now raised...

I was thinking about that one too! For now, though, I think I'm gonna play with Plus and Minus. Time to break out the Mega Ampharoses!

Also, something interesting: If Sturdinja DOES Struggle, I think I recall that Sturdy activated to save Sheddy from killing itself.

The team of the day! A Mudboi and Defiant... Alois (Swampert) (M) @ Muscle Band Ability: Sap Sipper Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome Didacus (Gallade-Mega) @ Scope Lens Ability: Defiant Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP /...

awww, salty? https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-993241828 But yep, new team! Me, three hours ago: Or Technician. Or Sheer Force. Speaking of which, I should try those. Me, when building a team: Ooooh, theme! Screw those things! So this team is sorta based on two roleplay...

Update: It's apparently a bug that Synchronoise just doesn't work right when called by Metronome. The more you know!

Ahhh, makes sense. Thanks!

I'm going to ask a weird question and use a weird replay for it, but I was told y'all might have an answer for me... https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-993197978 How was Kakuna's Synchronoise able to hit my Gallade and Gardevoir? Isn't that not supposed to happen? The...

Who're they? Because I doubt the primary target was Kakuna, given how Mets works... Then again, what do I know XD

Quick question: I'm trying out a new team here, but... Can anyone check the replay and tell me how Kakuna's Synchronoise was able to hit my Gardevoir and Gallade? Is that supposed to happen? https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-993197978

Meh, true. (Starry's the Electric type, not the Ghost type, though.) I was just so sick of Perish Song that I did that. You could always just put the OU Magic Bounce on it and call it a day, but mehhhh. Or go for Magic Guard, that's always nice to have. Or Technician. Or Sheer Force. Speaking of...
