Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Golem actually got Rapid Spin in Gen 2 by an event. Just an interesting factoid.
I actually do want to go back and add something to Golem getting Rapid Spin as people (myself included) immediately jumped to the conclusion that it'll automatically be running Stealth Rocks as that's it best set...
Sorry I was going off its smogdex entry which says Heal Bell and Wish are moves it runs. I don't see them at all so I was using that as the best set. That was a my bad as its generally just support and those two moves are support moves.
And like I said I still think Chimecho is extremely slow...
Rapid Spin Golem: There aren't too many leads that will set up rocks against Golem and Golem can reliably spin on so its main lead set doesn't benefit from it. Its offensive set with Weakness Policy won't want to drop a move for Spin. Custap sets might see a use for it, but there are faster...
Which Poké could fill Roselia's niches as a bulky Grass type, and as a Spikes stacker?
It is basically summarized as thus. If you want sleep and bulk, pick Tangela. If you want Spikes and bulk, pick Quilladin. If you want Specially Defensive Bulk, pick Gogoat. Roselia provided all three along...
Yeah, I supposed I didn't want to use a basic ability like Simple because of how easy it would be to slap it on someone and turn them into a power house.
Just cause I'm here right now, your HP EVs are off. It needs to be adjusted to survive Stealth Rocks. Plus or minus four to make it an odd...
Not that much time left, so I'll do a quick one with very little planning ahead, just going to try and get something up. Was going to do a Simple Power-Up Punch + Flame Charge set and maybe Charge Beam, but then read it shouldn't be too offensive. So how about a burn-reliant troll set with only...
First time doing one of these.
I'm going to vote for Team 2 (cause the two above me voted for Team 1).
Piloswine against Leavanny match-up isn't just going to be a straight both throw up their hazards. As a matter of fact, given the spread Piloswine Icicle Spear has an 81.3% chance to KO with...
Not to mention there's also Mach Punch which is priority. While bulkier sets may prefer Drain Punch you can opt for better speed to avoid taking damage in the first place or more power. With Conkeldur being so slow he may opt for Drain Punch just cause he's probably going to take damage. But...
Kind of surprised Talonflame hasn't been added to the threat list with its priority Acrobatics (which now sits at 80 BP, but factoring in STAB and Acrobatics effect it becomes 240). Same with Azumarill who has that boosted Aqua Jet. True, it only goes up to 64 meaning its not as strong as other...
Infestation-110 BP trapping move. (Maybe there's hope for Stall yet!)
Magma Storm-See above.
Pursuit is now 70 BP.
Chlorrophyll Victreebell with Weather Ball in the sun is a force to be reckoned with.
Hyperspace Hole is also neat. Being able to hit through Protect and Detect means Stall is...
As much as I enjoy a little arguing I prefer discussing Pokemon.
One more question (sorry I just always think of these):
Does Nature Power get the priority boost? It is technically a status move which you stated don't, but it becomes a damaging move. The more I think about it the more unlikely...
How does Adaptability work in this meta? Does the Pokemon's STAB gets a x1.6 bonus now? Does their priority get boosted as well?
I'm guessing Hawlucha doesn't get a +1 Priority off of Flying Press. Although a guy can still hope.
Right off of the top of my head I can imagine plenty of slow mons...
I remember when this guy was first 'revealed' and there was a rumor that stated he was going to get a Fire/Water dual-type move. Has there been any confirmation or denial of this?
His movepool thus far is kind of disappointing. Despite his monstrous Attack stat he only gets Flare Blitz (which...
