Metagame [Gen 9] Fusion Evolution VGC | Regulation C Announced!

[AquaticPanic]

Welcome, everyone, to Fusion Evolution VGC! This is a VGC-Based Solomod, meaning the format functions under VGC Rules and Regulations. In case you are new to all this, here's some FAQ to get you started:



How do the fusions work?

- Fusions have the combined movepool of both their parents
- Fusions inherit one type from each parent
- Fusions have averaged stats from both their parents, with up to +20 BST so we can have a free wiggle room for balance
- Fusions get new abilities that combine effects from their parents' abilities. This can be something simple like As One, where you get the vanilla effects of two abilities at once, or a brand new ability that has a new mixed effect
- Derivate abilities will go through the same conditions as their "parent" abilities. So Dark-Types are immune to Prankster Derivates, Own Tempo Derivates are immune to Intimidate Derivates, so on and so forth.



What are the fusions?

- You can check out every existing fusion so far in this spreadsheet



Where can I play this?

- This metagame is playable at http://petmodsdh.com/



Who is in charge of this?

- This is a metagame primarely created by me, AquaticPanic, with some help from Yoshiblaze. Players can always leave suggestions for balancing mons or additions that could be done in the future



How will regulations work?

- The current plan is for the metagame to be divided in 8 regulations.
- Regulation A will only have regular Pokémon; equivallent to a Regional Dex format
- Regulation B focuses on adding Paradox Pokémon
- Regulations C, D and E will all gradually add minor legendaries; equivallent to HOME and DLC metas
- Regulation F will add Restricted Legendaries, with only one being allowed per team
- Regulation G will add no new Pokémon, but is a double restricted format
- Regulation H will add no new Pokémon, but bans all Paradoxes and Legendaries

To start off, here's some balance changes! These will be applied both to Regulation A and further regulations

• 71 / 72 / 92 / 145 / 96 / 54 ---> 58 / 72 / 92 / 145 / 96 / 62
• Eerie Flames no longer makes the user immune to Fire. Instead, once the user bounces a status move, user gets a Flash Fire boost
  
  Hattelure was a bit too potent of a TR threat right now. Making it frailer and faster should make it easier to deal with Hattelure both in and out of Trick Room. Its Fire immunity was also fairly unneeded and pushed Hattelure farther than it needed, specially with Tera Steel.
  
  
  
  
  
• Unfiltered now has effects of Contrary + makes user take 4/3 damage from Super-Effective moves
  
  This is a slight nerf to make Rev take more damage and nerf its Tera potential in general
  
  
  
  
  
• 75 / 110 / 115 / 35 / 60 / 75 ---> 75 / 120 / 115 / 35 / 60 / 65
  
  Sandslash has been struggling as a Weather Abuser due to its low damage. Increasing its Attack should let it better pick up KOs, while the lower speed shouldn't be too much of a drawback given its speed-boosting ability
  
  
  
  
  
• 95 / 115 / 77 / 49 / 80 / 102 ---> 95 / 125 / 67 / 49 / 80 / 102
  
  Oinksler wasn't hitting as hard as it needed to and its defense boost was not doing much for it as even with the boost, it was still fairly frail. It should now be a bigger threat.
  
  
  
  
  
• 79 / 73 / 84 / 100 / 127 / 77 ---> 89 / 73 / 84 / 105 / 127 / 77
  
  Megaflor hasn't really been doing much of anything. Giving it better stats hopefully should let it carve out a better niche for itself.
  
  
  
  
  
• 84 / 88 / 104 / 104 / 85 / 60 ---> 74 / 88 / 104 / 98 / 85 / 60
  
  Empozing was a little too oppressive with its ability and typing. A bulk nerf should help keep it in check.

And now, onto Regulation B!

[vishy fishy]

Hi so this is vishy fishy. Are we gonna add a Mon roles thread here

 

[vishy fishy]

It’s kinda funny how we merged 2 special mons that each have a a reason to go phys (more phys moves and phys setup + a phys signature) and didn’t do that, I love sceptimora. It’s unique af and has multiple role options.

Glider wing is fun and unique and omg! That eyeliner is so slay! I think glider wing is great.

My opinion on skelenine really depends on the movepool. Like does it get u-turn or volt switch or something. I think it’s good and the abilities are both great but can it replace incin. I mean it gets slack off so I think unaware sets are cruising. Personally love it’s unaware set not sure abt intim

Is there a specific reason why inteledoom exists? I mean, it’s a good special attacker but what else, does it get nplot? I think it does but I think it’s too frail to abuse it. Feels like chi-yu but without the good ability. But I trust it must have a reason.

Kilowachu seems pretty straightforward, sets tailwind and it is a threat in it.

Bellotcha is just poltchageist but it can work in sun too.

Iron bramble nerf pls it’s too strong with kilowachu

Honestly in snow iron fox could be pretty tanky on the phys side and it’s also a great fast special attacker. Love it’s gimmick.

Bellicram is god.
No more questions

I like the great dozo/iron onigiri combo, cool, how many hazers do we have tho?

What does iron fly do?

Others seem chill.

I love the format just wish I could use dexited mons, aurorus looks like the perfect mon for this mon

Sets I built with in the first addition of solopl, don't ask me what the EVs are for I don't remember :(

Hi, just wanted to drop my thoughts on your questions.

My opinion on skelenine really depends on the movepool. Like does it get u-turn or volt switch or something. I think it’s good and the abilities are both great but can it replace incin. I mean it gets slack off so I think unaware sets are cruising. Personally love it’s unaware set not sure abt intim

It doesn't get pivoting but It can be a lot more offensive, with Torch Song, I think Unaware defensive sets also differ a lot from Incineboar, being a hard counter to Revarantis (Most broken Pokemon in Reg A) and resisting Fairy.

Is there a specific reason why inteledoom exists? I mean, it’s a good special attacker but what else, does it get nplot? I think it does but I think it’s too frail to abuse it. Feels like chi-yu but without the good ability. But I trust it must have a reason.

It's a fast threat that can run Focus Sash to ensure you proc Boiling Point often, and has Snipe Shot to ignore Fablapple's (one of the most broken Pokemon in Reg A) redirection. Nasty Plot is probably not even a bad set with the right support, its got Heat Wave to pair with Snipe Shot and still shred resistances short of Araquaton. Specs is also probably okay since it gets U-turn.

What does iron fly do?

What if Garchomp had Dragon Dance? Feels like it has a lot of potential with either Booster Energy and Incineboar hate, or Clear Amulet. Typing is a bit shaky but looks like a good user of Tera with Rock Slide EQ as spread move coverage. I can also see this running Swords Dance thanks to 102 Speed and our speed control options.

As discussed earlier this week, Revarantis is officially going to go through a few changes as means to nerf it a little.

Unfiltered: Combined effects of Contrary and Filter.


Please note that these changes do not impact its pre-evolution, Varantis.

 

[LovelyLuna]

I wanted to go over how much this change effects Revarantis as a Pokemon. Is it still broken? Is it still niche? Do any match ups change?

Many of Revarantis's bad match ups remain the same, as Poison is eaten by the plethora of Steel-types in the tier, including Araquaton, Iron Copper, and Moon Knight. Poison also threatens Fairy-types like Fablapple and Flutter Voir, so some of its good match ups are also very similar. Revarantis is pretty much guaranteed to still run Spin out and Superpower, keeping its set up potential scary. However, there are undeniable differences, thats why this change was made. There are both nerfs and benefits and I want to go through some of the ones that stand out.

Nerfs

STAB Spin Out: The most obvious nerf, losing STAB on your most spammable set up move is a huge nerf and has quite a few notable calcs. Fablapple can easily EV to avoid the 2HKO from Spin Out with a Sitrus Berry, forcing you to Poison Jab once, which can make a defensive Tera much more impactful. Spin Out also no longer OHKOs Sceptimora, a Pokemon seeing great usage this PL. Another popular Pokemon that is no longer OHKOd is Hattelure. Spin Out becomes significantly less spammable once Revarantis loses its Steel-typing.

The Psyspam match up: Revarantis was originally quite a fine Pokemon into Psyspam, walling Flutter Voir and having an easy time fitting coverage for Iron Avian, whether that be Knock Off, High Horsepower, or Tera Blast Water/Ghost. Now that it's a Poison-type, it has to either drop one of its STAB moves or one of its set up moves to fit this, which is often a huge sacrifice. Iron Avian is also no longer pressured to Fiery Dance as Revarantis becomes weak to the much more spammable Expanding Force.

Coverage: Building up on the earlier point, Revarantis has a much harder time fitting coverage and its AV set becomes quite one dimensional, Torkclod is also a Pokemon it can't hit effectively. I imagine the most different thing it pulls now is a Tera Dark Knock Off set to handle its weak Psyspam match up.

Resistances: It's no surprise that losing the best defensive typing hurts Revarantis' defensive profile. Revarantis now takes big damage from Sceptimora and Iron Avian's Meteor Beam, Araquaton's Gigaton Hammer, Moon Knight's STAB moves, and Honchkario's Extreme Speed.

Benefits

The mirror: This comes off as weird but Revarantis is now much better into itself, as setting up on the opposing Revarantis is no longer optimal. Usually, Superpower would OHKO the opposing Revarantis (with nerfed Filter) and it promoted many unhealthy speed ties. Now Poison Jab is the best click as it 2HKOs.

The Great Dozo match up: Great Dozo Iron Onigiri is an effective pair seeing success, and this is good for Revarantis, previously, Body Press would send you to the next game, but now Revarantis resists both STAB moves, and its Heavy Slam/Order Up can be overwhelmed by your own boosts. This should also help discourage Fablapple on so many teams when looking at metagame health.

More set up opportunities: Revarantis's nerfed Filter and quad weakness meant it was easy to force a Tera, even something as weak as +1 Brick Break from Moon Knight (advertising) ensures a KO. The Poison-type and original Filter makes it far less of a Tera hog and can enable powerful set up opportunities when supported with Pokemon like Bellotcha and Wide Guard Araquaton.

Potential Options

Now that the obvious broken set is out of the way, I want to highlight some unique tools Revarantis never got to take advantage of.

Substitute: Always an excellent move, the Fake Out immunity is valuable and makes set up even safer, also allows Revarantis to run another item, such as Life Orb, Leftovers, or a resist berry.

Taunt: One of the best moves in the game vs one of the best Pokemon right now in Bellotcha. Also helps Revarantis beat Skelenine with Tera a common counter.

Synthesis: As a Roost Moon Knight clicker, a set up Pokemon immune to Intimidate can really make use of Recovery, and I think its a reasonable fit over one of its STABs when compared to weak coverage.

We did not need a psyspam buff

But all in all I agree with the changes

Could this thing run black sludge now?

 

[AquaticPanic]

To start off, here's some balance changes! These will be applied to every Regulation

-

Iron Bramble is getting a small Attack nerf. This Pokémon has been a threat throughout mostof the regulation thanks to its easy ability to spam Earthquake, backed up by a powerful Poltergeist STAB and easy access to a Paradox boost thanks to its ability.
- 80 / 120 / 98 / 76 / 70 / 100 ---> 80 / 114 / 98 / 76 / 70 / 100

-

Oinksler's Berry Feast is now just Gluttony + Unburden (used to only get the doubled speed if it eats a berry). This should enable it to be used on Terrain teams with Seeds to activate Unburden.

-

Haxocross' Pestilence is now This Pokemon's attacks do 1.25x on non-Bug targets; 0.75x on Bugs. (Used to only work on Bug moves). This lets it be more versatile with its moves, hopefully boosting its viability.

-

Meowsdra-Female's Goo-Getter is now Competitive + raises Speed by 1 when hit by a contact move (Used to be "Increses Speed by 2 stages whenever an opponent decreases this Pokémon's stats"). This should allow it to take on a more offensive role and get more things done throughout the match.

The spreadsheet will be updated soon to include the intended design behind these fusions. For now, discuss the new additions either through here or the Discord server!

Yay! The power level does feel a bit lower than I thought it would be but it’s cool, probably for the better, I noticed many mons I am very excited to try out

Volbeasle seems probably worse than illuminum in the tailwind role but mabye it can be a special attacker (it really can’t), anyways yeah it exists and Is goofy, it drawing statuses could be good. Tail glow lol.

illuminum is basically just prankster tailwind so… yeah

Does guts work with aroma veil? It does right? Anyways I’m prob not gonna use it but oinkeon is cool I think

Imma just take a break (will keep editing this with opinions)

Guys glacier avatitan takes 1/8th damage from ice moves

Anyways I love sylveodon.

Meta-Lu… I said I want the format more bulky but not like this…

Where is raging bolt?

The fire dunsparce deserves rattled

 

[NecasInTrouble]

Very hype can't wait to play, worried about Meta-Lu but everything else seems very cool

 

[LovelyLuna]

Small thoughts on everything

To start off, here's some balance changes! These will be applied to every Regulation

-

Iron Bramble is getting a small Attack nerf. This Pokémon has been a threat throughout mostof the regulation thanks to its easy ability to spam Earthquake, backed up by a powerful Poltergeist STAB and easy access to a Paradox boost thanks to its ability.
- 80 / 120 / 98 / 76 / 70 / 100 ---> 80 / 114 / 98 / 76 / 70 / 100

-

Oinksler's Berry Feast is now just Gluttony + Unburden (used to only get the doubled speed if it eats a berry). This should enable it to be used on Terrain teams with Seeds to activate Unburden.

-

Haxocross' Pestilence is now This Pokemon's attacks do 1.25x on non-Bug targets; 0.75x on Bugs. (Used to only work on Bug moves). This lets it be more versatile with its moves, hopefully boosting its viability.

-

Meowsdra-Female's Goo-Getter is now Competitive + raises Speed by 1 when hit by a contact move (Used to be "Increses Speed by 2 stages whenever an opponent decreases this Pokémon's stats"). This should allow it to take on a more offensive role and get more things done throughout the match.

I like these, I think Meowsdra's buff is too small with the inclusion of Meta-Lu but its hard to predict a meta.

Now, onto Regulation C!

Ability H: Negative Awareness (Oblivious + Minus) = Effects of Oblivious. If this Pokémon's ally is infatuated or taunted, this Pokemon's Sp. Atk is 1.5x.

Some cool abilities but they're very much the same prankster tailwind prankster encore Pokemon. Biggest difference is Lightning Rod vs Volt Absorb, where Volbeasle's Lightning Rod is both a buff and a nerf. Redirecting Thunder Wave, Will-O-Wisp, Parting Shot, and even Spore if you're Safety Goggles is fantastic. However the auto redirection also means you can't protect Volbeasle from Taunt or Encore by using Follow Me or Rage Powder. Currently leaning towards Volbeasle personally.

Ability H: Excavate (Pixilate + Sand Force) = This Pokemon's Normal-type moves become Ground type and have 1.2x power.

This is a really cool Pokemon built to help keep rain in check and just barely underspeeds Rhyperluna for anti-Trick Room shenanigans. Couldn't tell you which ability is better honestly but this will probably need good support with the amount of Steel-types in the Regulation B meta (+ a certain addition...)

Ability H: Metagaming (Inner Focus + Competitive) = Combined effect of both the abilities. (Disclaimer: Competitive still procs when Intimidate is attempted)

I've been informed that Metagaming isn't immune to Intimidate, so it can abuse competitive vs the two Intimidators and has Dark-STAB for Meta-Lu. This looks like a top tier addition especially when accounting for Recover, Yawn, Icy Wind, etc.

This is really nice since Excaluza doesn't share a typing, and it can threaten the Electrics, Waters, Grounds that might be threatening to Tyranaught or Excaluza. Gets stuff like Swords Dance, Taunt, and I wouldn't even be surprised to see fast Explosion.

Clear viability on rain with Wave Crash Leech Life buttons, biggest issue isgetting walled by Fablapple but Fablapple is getting worse and worse as the regulations go by, shouldn't be hard to add counterplay. Some potential outside of rain with Tinted Veil sets, burn immune and no resistances is deadly.

Ability: Healthy Drink (Rain Dish + Regenerator) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

Kind of, mid? Salazzern outclasses this pretty hard and its longevity doesn't really synergise with whatever it wants to do, whether that be early support or Nasty Plot.

Ability: Intimidate

This is very debatable, but I think Brave Bird Landorus-T will succeed even with Incineboar in the tier. Probably runs Scarf sets that handle the new Ogerpon formes and Steel-types. Id say it might even be better into the current meta with its Fighting-resistance.

Ability: Love of Ruin (Tablets of Ruin + Overcoat) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

BRAMBLE RESIST!!! Looks like its got potential for Trick Room but barely any because no Fairy-STAB.

Base Stats: 80 / 120 / 85 / 75 / 67 / 110 [BST: 537] (+0 HP / +0 Atk / +0 Def / +0 SpA / +0 SpD / +0 Spe)

Ability: Dog of Ruin (Sword of Ruin + Guard Dog) = Effects of Swords of Ruin. This Pokémon cannot be forced to switch out.

Guard Dog being nerfed helps but this is still probably one of the scariest additions, enables other Pokemon to a scary degree. Though I'll say its speed tier was handled well with it being slower than the relevant Tailwind setters.

Ability: Automaton of Ruin (Vessel of Ruin + Clear Body) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

Broken. Broken. Broken. Doesn't die, STAB Heavy Slam and crazy resists, immune to Intimidate, invalidates so many special attackers from the meta. Even got Bullet Punch to pick off chipped Pokemon,

Ability: Poultry of Ruin (Beads of Ruin + Blaze) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

Very strong, probably with Sash sets for true nuke but Scarf Chi-Yu will never be bad. Enables a lot of Pokemon and tries to hold back meta-Lu as good as it can.

Ability: Royal Guard (Defiant + Queenly Majesty) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

Best Ogerpon form, priority blocking will be invaluable with the new Chien-Pao and the Pokemon has great potential as anti-rain and some set up balance with Defiant + Taunt.

Note: This Pokémon follows Ogerpon's Tera mechanics, and can switch forms by holding Ogerpon's masks

Ability: Mold Breaker

Some people are underrating this, as long as FEVGC is Steel spam, Hearthpon is a huge threat and good at doing Follow Me stuff.

Ability: Water Absorb

She seems okay and has the best match up into Psyspam, walls Meta-Lu and threatens it for funny bullying. Threatens Incineboar hard despite not being immune to Intimidate.

Ability: Sturdy

This is one I can't justify easily, STABs are walled by Steel-types and a weak defensive typing for Follow Me, its guaranteed Follow Me for TR isnt as valuable in a lower power level format that has sufficient redirectors and ways to ensure Trick Room.

Ability 1: Toxic Links (Toxic Chain + Skill Link) = Combined effect of both the abilities.
Ability H: Brute Bird (Guard Dog + Sheer Force) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

Gapdos 2.0 surely isn't bad in an Urshifu-less format. Tailroom stuff looks like it has potential, but I don't think Toxic Links has a niche at all honestly.

Ability 1: Hydrotechnic (Technician + Swift Swim) = Combined effect of both the abilities.
Ability H: Venom Glare (Toxic Chain + Intimidate) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

Barb Barrage will be funny, seems quite crucial for rain as its also anti-Psyspam and could even utilize Coaching Support. Venom Glare also seems pretty good with Icy Wind Acid Spray but probably not that good since it's a Dark-type Intimidator, good luck justifying that.

Ability: Toxic Drive (Toxic Chain + Quark Drive) = Combined effect of both the abilities.

Seems a bit awkward alongside Meta-Lu, I'd never use this for Psyspam over Iron Avian. Fake Out is definitely something more relevant than some of the other additions.

Ability: Protosynthesis (Run Away + Protosynthesis)


The spreadsheet will be updated soon to include the intended design behind these fusions. For now, discuss the new additions either through here or the Discord server!

Dunce Fire can still run the same Howl sets, just not as much attack investment. On top of this it gets Protect-breaking Hyper Drill and Glare utility so its set diversity expands. Normal-typing is definitely a nerf but shouldn't be too major.


Initial thoughts

 

[AquaticPanic]

Getting into a new metagame can feel a little daunting, specially when there are so many new Pokémon to learn about. I want to make a series of posts introducing some aspects of this metagame, such as important Pokémon, eventual sample sets & teams and other things such as how this meta's Speed Tiers are considerably slower than usual VGC


With that in mind, some of FE VGC's fusions are intentionally designed to play very similar to vanilla Pokémon, as that lowers the entry barrier into the metagame and also allows me to use them as a point of reference when creating new fusions. In this post, I want to go over these familiar fusions, what Pokémon they play similar to and the notable differences between the fusion and the Pokémon

If you like Incineroar, you should try...

Incineboar is perhaps one of the most similar when compared to their conterparts - a Fire/Dark with Intimidate that viably runs Fake Out and Parting Shot to be a defensive pivot that controls the damage of the battle. It has ever so slightly different stats to Incineroar, but nothing too drastic. Its main new factors are access to Sucker Punch and the ability having Blaze combined with Intimidate - but otherwise you could run the same sets you would on Incineroar


If you like Tapu Fini, you should try...

As a bulky Water/Fairy that sets up Misty Terrain, Empozing evokes Tapu Fini's splashability and supportive role, with moves such as Knock Off, Icy Wind and Taunt. It isn't as naturally bulky as Fini, but has direct recovery through Roost. Lacks supportive moves like Heal Pulse, Muddy Water and Nature's Madness but adds its own with Acid Spray, Clear Smog, Helping Hand and Flip Turn. Notably also has Water Pledge for a single-target Water STAB


If you like Alolan Ninetales, you should try...

Glacetales is pretty much straight up Alolan Ninetales with passive healing, with the main additions by Glaceon being Haze and Yawn, as well as considerably higher Sp. Attack. You can more or less just run the same sets as you would on Alolan Ninetales


If you like Venusaur & Lilligant, you should try...

Victreevile fills the role of Chlorophyll Sleep Powder, being able to either go on the offensive with its STABs + Weather Ball or run support options like Encore, Strength Sap and After You. It is, however, notably much more frail than Venusaur and not as fast as Lilligant. Compared to Venusaur, it also lacks Earth Power, struggling more against Fire-type opponents


If you like Sinistcha, you should try...

Bellotcha has a similar statline (slightly lower physical bulk and speed; slightly higher Sp. Def), but Bellossom adds a few tools such as incorporating Healer into the ability and gaining moves such as Pollen Puff, Helping Hand, Sleep Powder and Acid Spray. It occasionally has seen use with Quiver Dance as well, though that is rarer to see. Fills the same role Sinistcha would but now has a few alternative move options


If you like Murkrow, you should try...

Has a similar statline and, much like Murkrow, marks its plce as a Prankster Tailwind setter - a role that notably has much less competition in this format. At the cost of a worse defensive typing in Fighting/Dark, Riokrow gains new supportive tools such as Coaching, Feint, Upper Hand, Helping Hand and Quick Guard. You'd still use this mostly for the same reasons as Murkrow - a Prankster Tailwind setter with niche anti-meta options

If you like Mimikyu, you should try...

At the cost of slightly lower stats overall, Klefikyu does what Mimikyu does - use its ability to get a free turn of support, usually as a Trick Room setter. What Klefki adds is Prankster after the disguise breaks, giving you another potential turn to be disruptive with moves such as Will-o-Wisp, Imprison and Taunt

If you like Clefairy, you should try...

Much like Clefairy, Clepplin is a supportive Eviolite Pokémon that uses Friend Guard to protect its partner. Has more bulk and access to Pollen Puff and Recover. It is Fairy/Dragon rather than pure Fairy - debatable whether that's bette ror worse for it. Clepplin is a standout defensive mon of the metagameregardless though


If you like Garganacl, you should try...

Garganacoal is another pretty identical fusion compared to its vanilla counterpart. Gain Will-o-Wisp and aditionally resists Water and Fire alongside Ghost though its ability. More or less just runs the same sets as Garganacl would


If you like Maushold, you should try...

Mausaiai carries Maushold's utility with Friend Guard (which now also protects an ally from Prankster) and moves like Fake Out and Follow Me. Grafaiai adds a few other utility options, such as Knock Off and Parting Shot. You do have to deal with Ground and Psychic weaknesses though, which are very notable. Aside from the usual Maushold sets, Mausaiai does have other set options that are a little more viable than Maushold's variety, with Toxicologist boosting Pop Bomb and giving it a massive chance to Poison.

If you like Pelipper, you should try...

Compared to Pelipper, Noctoed trades bulk for Speed. It is otherwise setting rain and clicking similar moves, such as Tailwind, Hurricane and Weather Ball (although notably lacks Wide Guard). If you specifically want Pelipper Con Perish you could try that as well, possibly with Roost.

If you like Torkoal, you should try...

On the other side of the Weather Wars, Torklod is similar to Torkoal in that its primary role is to be a Trick Room threat with Eruption. Not as bulky as Torkoal, but notably gets Recover to potentially restore its health to power up Eruption. Poison type is arguably a downsgrade from Torkoal though, as you rarely will use Poison STAB and resist Fairy and Grass already anyways

If you like Ursaluna, you should try...

Rhyperluna is also quite similar to Ursaluna, in fact one of the most similar fusions compared to their vanilla Pokémon. Not much to add here, run Facade/Ground Move/Protect as Ursaluna would

If you like Cresselia, you should try...

Uxie has always been pretty much a worse Cresselia, so its not surprising that a fusion between both would be similar to vanilla Cresselia. Uxie does add a few interesting new options, though - namely Draining Kiss for Tera Fairy STAB and a few support options like Yawn, Knock Off and Encore, and can actually make use of Mystical Power's snowballing potential due to Uxelia's longevity alloweing it to boost up multiple times


If you like Landorus-therian, you should try...

Squawkorus-Therian trades offensive stats (notably having 25 less Atk than Landorus and an unusable Special Attack stat) for an expanded movepool, now having actual Flying STAB in Brave Bird, another pivotting option in Parting Shot and speed control in Tailwind. It can fill similar roles to Landorus, but one has to get used to its lower Attack stat. You can start with usual Landorus sets and adapt to its new movepool options

If you like Ogerpon, you should try...

Ogereena is designed to play like Ogerpoon, with a few new tools in all of its forms. The most different is Teal,which now has Queenly Majesty on top of Defiant; Wellspring gets Trop Kick for suppoertive sets and Triple Axel for offensive sets; Hearthflame gets Petal Blizzard for a strong spread damage option and Cornerstone has Endeavor to make use of Sturdy


If you like Chi-Yu, you should try...

I had to be very careful with both offensive members of the Ruin mons as they're very easy to break, so as a result, both of them end up very similar to their vanilla counterparts. Chi-Ken is slightly weaker than Chi-Yu, but has similar effective bulk with new move options such as Scorching Sands for Fire-Types and Solar Beam for Water-Types, as well as U-turn for Choiced sets


If you like Chien-Pao, you should try...

As explained above, both Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu fusions were cautios to not stray too far from their vanilla counterparts - and that's even more true of Mabos-Pao than Chi-Ken. The first thing one will notice is the much slower Speed tier - although it is worth considering that Fusion Evolution VGC's Speed Tiers are generally tamer than vanilla VGC's, so 110 is still considered fast around here. Aside from that, it mostly does Chien-Pao things


If you like Dondozo, you should try...

Great Dozo keeps Dondozo's gimmick of doubling its stats and running away with the game. Compared to Dondozo, it is locked to a worse ability and has an arguably worse defensive type, but slightly higher base stats across the board and a pretty relevant secondary STAB, and Temper Flare as a potential coverage against Grass-types


If you like Flutter Mane, you should try...

Right off the bat, Flutter Voir is not as good as Flutter Mane. However, it keeps the general idea of using an insane stat spread to have a lot of variety with its EV spreads, getting a lot more use out of its utility movepool than one would expect (now notably incluiding Will-o-Wisp, Encore and Disable. It is still a poweful speedy threat that deals spread damage with Dazzling Gleam, but now also has the option of Expanding Force


If you like Roaring Moon, you should try...

Moon Knight still retains the role of a Booster Energy Tera Flying Acrobatics mon, that can also occasionally set up Tailwind. It has generallylower stats than Roaring Moon, but comes with the benefit of a better defensive typing and Mirror Armor


If you like Iron Crown, you should try...

Iron Monkey is slightly less bulky than Crown, but also slightly faster. Munkidori adds a few interesting options such as Parting Shot and Nasty Plot. Most notably,though, Toxic Chain has great synergy with Tachyon Cutter and Expanding Force, getting more value out of the Poison rolls, letting Monkey chip its opponents further


If you like Armarouge, you should try...

Iron Avian is a Fire/Psychic that gets slotted in Psyspam teams for its high damage output. It is not as bulky as Armarouge and cannot function in Trick Room, and also lacks the burst damage of Armor Cannon. However, it makes up for that with higher Speed and the potential to greatly increse its stats with Esper Wing and Fiery Dance. It is not as flexible as Armarouge, but doubles down on the offensive profile


If you like Iron Hands, you should try...

Iron Copper is here to be a bulky tank with Fake Out that can absorb a lot of damage while dishing out its own damage with Drain Punch and often running AV. Still wants to run Volt Switch for pivotting and Heavy Slam for STAB. Mostly gains new coverage options, but is generally filling the same role as Iron Hands would



That is all for now! Stay tuned as I plan to make more resources soon

 

[AquaticPanic]

Weather Forecast: Windy​

Speed Control is an essential part of every VGC team. Unlike the vanilla VGC scene, where Tailwind is predominatly dominated by Tornadus and Whimsicott, FE VGC has much more variety on what can run the move. Today I want to go over the metagame's main Tailwind setters, what each of them brings to the table and how they compare against eachother, so you can decide which one would fit your team best.

For this, I will briefly showcase their base speed, their max speed (252+ at lvl 50; will note whenever abilities are relevant) and then give a short description of its main positive and negative traits. With that in mind, let's get started:

Salazzern

Base Speed: 120
Max Speed: 189

Salazzern is a pretty popular Tailwind setter thanks to its naturally high base Speed and its ability blocking Taunt. Equipped with a Covert Cloak, it becomes by far one of the most reliable mons at setting Tailwind, pretty safely getting it up. After that, it has some useful disruptive moves such as Encore, Disable, Knock Off, Will-o-Wisp, Super Fang, Fire Lash and Acid Spray

Its main downsides is that it struggles condensing all those moves into a set, as well as its somewhat poor offensive capabilities. As a Flying/Poison type, its STABs are limited to the low power of Air Slash, the unreliable Hurricane, and Sludge Bomb (which is argualy a limited offensive type). This makes Salazzern a mon that would appreciate coverage or set-up, but also wants to fit in many support moves



Kilowatchu

Base Speed: 120
Max Speed: 189

Kilowatchu's main appeal is its power. Through its ability, it gets a Sp. Attack boost once Tailwind is set up, making Kilowatchu hit pretty hard (even with Air Slash, a rather weak move). It is also known for its excellent synergy with Iron Bramble, with Tailwind boosting both Pokémon through their respective abilities, and then the two get to click Earthquake and Discharge without hurting eachother. It can also cripple opponents through Nuzzle

It is, however, one of the most frail Tailwind setters, making it difficult to use the +1 Special Attack. This encourages Focus Sash, but that in turn makes you more vulnerable to being shut down by Fake Out. It also has a rather shallow offensive movepool, so even though it hits hard withits moves, it has little type variety offensively



Cruelus-Therian

Base Speed: 110
Max Speed: 178

Cruelus makes its mark through its balanced stats. It is not the fastest, or strongest, but has a good balance of speed, bulk and power. Regenerator gives it a lot of longevity, letting it set up Tailwind multiple times per battle, working well for bulkier teams. Unlike the other Flying-types in this post, Cruelus has a pretty good STAB in Bleakwind Storm, dealing strong chip damage throughout the match (and it can pretty convincingly wun Bleakwind Storm as its main offensive move, letting it run some of its support options like Knock Off or Acid Spray). It fits best under Rain teams, getting extra healing and making its Flying STABs fully accurate.

It has a few issues, though - most notably its typing directly competes with Salazzern. It is fast, but not the fastest. It is strong, but not the strongest. It is bulky, but not the bulkiest. This all makes Cruelus struggle to stand out too much amongst its competition 9Even for Rain teams, Noctoed itself has the option to set Tailwind for its team)



Iron Onigiri

Base Speed: 108
Max Speed: 176 (becomes 264 with Paradox boost)

Iron Onigiri can become one of the fastest Pokémon around with Booster Energy, and it is pretty threatening with its 122 Special Attack. Other than setting Tailwind, it likes to click moves such as Muddy Water, Snarl and Icy Wind both for spread damage and lowering stats. And, of course, it is mostly ran for Great Dozo - just that, compared to Tatsugiri, Iron Onigiri has a few more things it can do (incluiding setting tailwind as a slower partner pivots into Great Dozo)

It is fairly limited in what it can do,though. Its not particularly bulky, and since it runs Booster Energy, it is prone to being stopped by Fake Out (since it cannot stop that with a Cover Cloak and use Booster Energy at the same time). Also, while it is good at setting Tailwind, it would often just prefer to start dealing damage right away



Jumpathra

Base Speed: 107
Max Speed: 174 (becomes 348 under Sun)

Jumpathra has the potential to be the fastest Taiwind Pokémon at Turn 1, so long as it has the correct ability and Sun is active. It is very notable for the incredibly disruptive Sleep Powder, but it also has plenty of other supportive tools such as Lumina Crash, Rage Powder, Ally Switch, Encore, Pollen Puff and Strength Sap. It is also hard to ignore as Lumina Crash willcontinuously build Special Defense drops

It suffers from not having enough move slots to run everything it wants, and has an arguably pretty poor typing considering the metagame has tons of powerful Dark-types that stop one of its best moves - a Safety Goggles Incineboar stops most of what it wants to do after the Tailwind. And for a Pokémon that will often be redirecting attacks to protect its partner, it is not very bulky, making it easy to take down



Abomascott

Base Speed: 106
Max Speed: 173

Abomascott's main appeal is one of its abilities granting it immunity to priority moves, thus blocking both Fake Out and any Prankster disruption. Has a few support options such as Taunt, Encore, Fake Tears and Memento

Abomascott's main issue is its poor damage output and overall lack of distinguished utility. Humourless has better synergy with the Tailwind setter role, but most of the timeyou'd want to run this mon for Drought instead. On that note, Abomascott ends up better described as a Sun setter that happens to also set Tailwind, rather than a dedicated Tailwind pokémon



Serpeblim

Base Speed: 105
Max Speed: 172 (becomes 344 with Unburden)

Serpeblim has quite a few positive traits. For starters, its Ghost type prevents it from being flinched by Fake Out. It has plenty of moves that work well with its high Speed, such as Glare, Taunt and Strength Sap; as well as useful tools like Imprison to block opposing Tailwind (and even Trick Room). Unburden turns it into the second fastest Tailwind Pokémon, behind only Jumpathra. Serpeblim usually achieves this through Psychic Seed for its decent synergy with Samureedee - notably being able to use Grass + Water Pledge to make use of its Speed while giving Samureedee a powerful move. Activating Unburden also increases the damage of its own Grass moves by 50%

The main downside is that it is at its most powerful when Unburden is active, but that severely limits what teams it can fit into, as there are few items that can be consumed right away for Unburden to activate - and you'd ideally want to get your Tailwind out as soon as possible (this also indirectly nerfs its damage output as it won't have the boost from its ability). This reliance on its ability also makes it harder to switch it out, as you'll lose some of its best traits if Unburden is turned off



Scream Buzz

Base Speed: 105
Max Speed: 172 (becomes 258 with Paradox boost)

Scream Buzz is the bulkiest Tailwind seter, with a gargantuan defensive spread of 115 / 105 / 105 - all while still potentially being one of the fastest Pokémon if it uses a Booster energy. This gives it an immediate niche as it can repeatedly set Tilwind throughout the battle, provided your team is bult to last many turns. Worth mentioning it can also stop the opponent's own Tailwind and Trick Room through Imprison. Has quite a few disruptive options such as Knock Off, Snarl, Encore, Disable, Howl and Mean Look. Adventurous spirits may want to try Perish Song. Dark Typing prevents it from being affected by Prankster, and it can use Foul Play to bypass its passivity

It is, however, more or less forced to run Foul Play if it wants to do any damage at all. Its offensive stats are incredibly low and even with Foul Play it will struggle to deal with special attackers. Pretty straightforward drawback, you just have to build knowing your other pokémon aregonna be the ones carrying the offense of the team



Illuminun

Base Speed: 105
Max Speed: 172

Illuminun is one of the few Prankster Tailwind setters of this metagame, and the fastest one at that. As such, it provides immedite speed control, bypassing the other setters' speed-boosting abilities through its own priority. Notably gets the very dangerous combo of Prankster + Encore. Aside from that, it can sit there and spam stat-lowering moves like Struggle Bug to support its partner

On the flipside, this thing's stats are straight up terrible. Its one of the most frail Tailwind mons and it is never doing significant damage with its 74 Special attack and Bug moves. If you're using this mon, its for the primary purpose of clicking priority Tailwind once



Moon Knight

Base Speed: 103
Max Speed: 170 (becomes 255 with Paradox boost)

As a Tailwind setter, Moon Knight stands out for its offensive potential while still being bulky enough to safely get up a Tailwind. By far one of the more threatening setters due to high attack, access to a pretty powerful Acrobatics and even a decent spread option with Breaking Swipe. Its stats allow it to run either offensive or defensive sets as well, giving it some flexibility

Really its main downside is that it almost always runs Booster Energy + Tera Flying, making Fake Out a fairly safe way to prevent its Tailwind from going up - and its also prone to other ways of disruption, such as Taunt (or Prankster in general). And, of course, it is on the lower end of the Speed tiers for Tailwind mons, which is relevant as it has to decide whether it prefers to have Booster Energy Speed to remedy that issue and miss out on some of its offensive potential or if it prefers Booster Energy Attack for more power but a worse initial speed, potentially getting outsped before setting the Tailwind



Iron Deciduous

Base Speed: 102
Max Speed: 169 (becomes 253 with Paradox boost)

Iron Deciduous has the interesting combination of a Fake Out immunity + respectable speed after Booster Energy, making for a relatively safe way of getting Tailwind up. Its synergetic STABs combined with good offensive stats make it very hard to ignore, and it has tons of other support options available, such as Imprison, Coaching, Encore, Wide Guard, Quick Guard and Taunt

Deciduous' main drawbacks are that as a frail support-oriented Pokémon, this is really not the kind of mon you'd want to use your Booster Energy on. You could still use it for Tailwind without Booster Energy, but that'd put you at a much worse speed tier for this role (in fact being the slower of the viable Tailwind setters). It also struggles a lot deciding what support moves it wants to slot, meaning Tailwind has a lot of competition with other options on this Pokémon's arsenal



Volbeasle

Base Speed: 90
Max Speed: 156

Not going to spend too long on this as it is very similar to Illuminun - this is a Prankster Tailwind mon. Compared to its counterpart, it has less speed but gets Prankster Taunt and automatically redirects status moves towards itself, protecting allies from moves like Parting Shot or Thunder Wave

It still has terrible stats though, and its ability also means it attracts Taunt and Encore towards itself, making it risky



Riokrow

Base Speed: 88
Max Speed: 154

The third and final Prankster Tailwind Pokémon of the mod, Riokrow was covered in another recent post. Similarly to Murkrow itself, Riokrow sets Tailwind and then mostly uses Prankster to either disrupt opponents or support its partners with moves like Snarl or Coaching. Notably, gets Prankster quash, allowing you to force any problematic opponent to go last. Refer to the post right above this one if you want a bit more info

Riokrow's drawbacks are its reliance on Eviolite to be able to take hits and its reliance on Foul Play to be able to do significant damage. It has many great supportive anti-meta moves, but it is a little tricky to use - specially with a 4x weakness to fairy



And that's all of the notable ones we have right now, at Regulation C! Hope this post was helpful in showcasing the ups and downs of eah of these fusions!
