Why not dual status with Magic coat? Twave/Toxic/MC/Recover? with a red card as an opener it can cripple/reflect taunt & hazards/be a huge pain for anything not packing rest/guts. Would probably pair well with Malamar since it would draw in boosters. you don't have to feel bad about fully...

doesn't Weavile have a workable S.def stat? if you're going to use PuP on a glass cannon revenger why not round out your coverage and slap an AV on there, rather than the much more lackluster Claw.

Surprises like this usually work better when the surprise is actually effective. Maybe in doubles with Guard/Power swap support? Sounds like it could be a fun gimmick.

Just slash HP-Grass if you're really bothered by VA because it's a good set on a bulky mon like lanturn. HP Grass would also hit likely ground switches for SE and gives you better coverage.

Do you have a replay with this thing? I've tried Braviary in the past and it just wilts in the face of anything it can't OHKO. You talk about ghost type switch ins but most ghosts can/do run Tbolt and sableye can rip this things face off with Foul play, so I'm curious what team comp this fits...

Sorry your wording made it seem like Scoli got it and I've been confused about whether-or-not he learns it for a while. Nice to see this pair isn't totally shut down by TR. Little weak to sashed setters and taunt on it's own but the vid makes it look like viable cheesy opener.

I've been looking and it doesn't look like Scoli gets FE, can anyone else confirm? I would love to see a replay of it's early game effectiveness. I really like this set, outside of taunt/trickroom if you take a defensive approach you risk bringing in a chunky sweeper, and if you're not using...

Whaaat the OP needs updating. Tell me why crit passing to a booster who can boost speed and attack is wrong other poster because it sounds like a sweet deal.

I've been playing with SSCloyster in the Battle Mansion and I'm definitely doing more damage after a smash with a crit. Can anyone else confirm?

Scolipede can boost and pass all in one, but the problem with getting a crit set working is that; all the Pokemon that are part of the set are susceptible to priority making it a weak opening strat where it would best benefit from the initial momentum, while in late game there are arguably...

So what does this thing out-speed after +1? Scolipede focus passing to a CritFox spamming Overheat sounds workable in a lower tier environment. With it's weird speed, good special, and lack of better boosting options it's one of the few pokes to actually benefit from being able to spam a strong...

I would think passing FE onto swift swim Crit-dra would somewhat alleviate the speed issue, but without perma-weather and with the nerf to crit damage this doesn't seem advisable. you're either going for the wall breaking power of sniper or the comfort of speed, when it comes to crits anyway...

It's a matter of whether you find you want to go for an all in with said pokemon. With MoxiKrow you're banking on your ability to kill the opponent to get traction going, with CritKrow you're getting an arguably more consistent damage return that's even harder to wall because you can't boost...

People are way too focused on getting FE on a Poke that already does well enough offensively. what about "focus passing" to things like Super Luck Honchcrow or Skill Link Cloyster? Scarf/OrbKrow and SmashCloyster are my main points because Krow has a hugely diverse movepool to take advantage of...
