Permanent ability removal has been a lot of fun for me. The Choice Scarf Entrainment strat was a bit too easy to beat in my testing, with Ability Shield, unmodifiable abilities, or just the fact that you have a mon choice-locked into a status move. Very much a gimmick, although it would probably...

Not as broken as the other bugs people have found, but there is also a notable bug with PP. I'm not sure of the cause, but moves frequently end up having wrong PP values, which is really annoying when trying to stall out various 8 PP moves. Example with 10 Malignant Chains...

I'm sitting at 25W-6L right now, and this Drifblim set has single-handedly gotten me at least half of my wins so far. This thing is illegally bulky, and after Unburden and 1-2 Calm Minds it can easily wipe out entire teams, even with just Air Slash. This EV spread allows Drifblim (with Unburden...

I've been trying a lot of different sets on a lot of different Pokémon, but by far the MVP of all of my teams has been Bellibolt: Bellibolt @ Assault Vest Ability: Electromorphosis Tera Type: Electric EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Parabolic Charge -...

Main thing is, it's outclassed by Swirlix. Swirlix has Unburden. My set: Swirlix (F) @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Unburden EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Play Rough - Return - Thief - Belly Drum Just have to be careful not to use Thief when you still want to keep your Unburden...

I feel you should mention the buff to Overcoat somewhere, as the immunity to Spore and Sleep Powder provides Mandibuzz even more switch-in opportunities and allows it to wall even more Pokémon which could normally just put defensive Pokémon to sleep. Since Overcoat has never been a particularly...

One Pokémon I haven't seen many people talking about is Avalugg, the Coffee Table Pokémon. Bearing an Ice typing is usually detrimental on a defensive Pokémon, but Avalugg's mammoth defenses allow it to shrug off even super effective hits. Some calculations: Defensive: 252+ Atk Choice Band...

Intimidate To be honest, I really don't care as long as it's not Unburden. Sweeping for days after a setup is less useful than being able to set up in the first place, IMO, and that's why I picked Intimidate. Motor Drive would be awesome, too, for setup chances and speed boosts, but Intimidate...

Time to share the trolling with everyone. Cottonee (M) @ Focus Sash Trait: Prankster Level: 1 EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Def / 4 HP Timid Nature - Leech Seed - Substitute - Encore - Protect Cottonee uses Leech Seed on the first turn (priority), then Substitute over and over for GG. Alternatively...

I've been testing some of the unranked Pokémon. Wynaut, so far, has been fairly useful; he can Encore a setup move so I can setup Dragon Dance Fraxure or some other sweeper or he can counter attacks and kill shit off. Pretty good. Dunno where to place him yet though. As for Sandshrew, B or C...
