The only thing that sticks out to me is trying to use this to bait out setup mons and hit them with a big old 240bp assurance + spikes/SR damage then a follow up sucker punch could nab you a surprise kill every once in a while but outside of that I don't see this thing do much of anything. The...

Ill have to look at it more it does as you say run into a problem with speed as even though it outspeeds all but 3 pokemon at +1 however thoes 3 pokemons present a significant threat to it. I was looking at it more as a way to prevent sub shenanigans considering the lack of moves to deal with...

haven't done much looking/testing but how pervasive is substitute and how this effects the viability of venomoth being the only user of bug buzz I feel like that would carve out an interesting niche for it.

I have to say that 130base stab CRIT attack will hit hard against just about anything that doesn't resist it, even with 53 sp.atk. Which makes it a pretty nice late game sweeper. But as good of a late game sweeper it is leagues better as a defensive pivot/infinit poison stall. Right now...

Honestly this thing feels more like a middle evolution than a final evolution. In fact if this thing got some extra stats, super power and a physical version of solar power we could have an amazing looking pokemon that would be a power house in OU

You would have to go infestation →soak→toxic→liquidation Doing soak first just telegraph that your going to poison it and he's gonna gtfo to something else.If you really want to make him a dedicated toxapex killer you would want to run binding band with you killing him about 80% of the time...

I mean salazzle would be a mad good pokemon if it could have merciless as a secondary ability. Toxapex would instantly be sent to Uber if it could run either corrosion,merciless or regenerator. Imagin a pokemon that could toxic stall the entire meta or endless stall/defensive pivot or be a late...

It might be good for a surprise or two but as soon as they figure out araquinid has water absorb it instantly becomes set up fodder. Since it doesn't have the move pool or speed to gimp sweepers unless you want to go burn fishing with a super weak scald, or maybe toxic stall.

I don't know if this would be the right place to put this but water bubble on the damage calculater isn't being applied. I would do the calls myself but I don't really now how to figure it out. Is your attack calculated then applied to the defence then having the end result x2. Or is it x2...

If your using showdowns damage calculator it doesn't calculate the added damage from water bubble not sure why, possibly because they don't know if the damage calculated is before or after defences are factored in. Also personal opinion that it's more likely to run into a split defensive...

Woah your right for the longest time I had thought it was physical

Basicly this thing exist to toxic toxapex and stall break steel/poison pokemon this thing would be amazing if it got toxic spikes. This thing just screams venoshock but that atk stat doe

What do people think of this Araquanid @ Leftovers Ability: Water Bubble EVs: 252 HP/ ?? ?? Nature - Infestation - Leech life - Aqua ring/Protection - Liquidation With the pre-rec of you having toxic spikes up or the enemy Mon has some form of residual. You throw this guy out on something that...

Thank you for telling us about your newfound discovery. Please tell me how long did you rack your brain to figure that out. Also explain your train of I understand that I said leftovers and rocky helmet but after that I lost you. Yet an other astounding observation stealth rocks do infact...

To bad Blaziken got banned to ubers it would of given this guy a nice niche and a firm spot in OU as he is a pretty hard counter to blaze even though he is weak to both blazes main stabs he can tank both of them and in almost all circumstances he'll beat blaze out with a return EQ (Assuming you...
