I have also seen it used as a glue on teams that use both Koko and Lele it benifits highly from psychic terrian appreciating the boost to its other Stab as well as priority immunity.

yeah sub mega gyarados is tricky and as always a pain to take out, But I learned my leason the first time I saw one and even though I might have to sack a poke to stop it havent lost to it since

thats what I thought as well untill I ran into 2 of them in a row with gravity

There are 4 main Pokemon common in the meta right now that can freely switch into Golisopod, those are Skarmory, Mantine, Celesteela, and Toxapex. they are all really obvious switch ins and you shouldn't even be keeping Golisopod on the field to attack if they are on the enemy team and should...

should mention how magma storm also acts as a lure against dugtrio switching in completely koing it by dead dropping its health then eating its sash with passive damage.

Man Golisopod is such a good lure for Tapu Koko I keep having them come in to liquidations to the face expecting first impressions. If stealth rocks is up then the liquidation is enough to bring them into ko range for sucker punch. With the amount people running Tapu koko the sucker punch ko...

been having a bunch of fun running this team got up to 1550+ with it been getting very few losses Golisopod @ Assault Vest Ability: Emergency Exit EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD Brave Nature - First Impression - Liquidation - Leech Life - Sucker Punch Celesteela @ Leftovers Ability: Beast...

don't forget mantine with water absorb ran into someone using a similar team and kept switching into mantine after scouting the move they were locked into, shuts it down completely

this is probably the best set being run in the meta right now if you dont have a flyer still alive this set rips teams apart

love how the first comments at the beginning of the thread here are all about how those posting don't think koko will be that used while its now on about every team you see and doesn't seen to be going anywhere. I also wonder if when they release the rest of the mega stones if we will start...

Surprised I haven't seen any mention of Ghostium Z its a nuke that assures a 2ko on anything not normal or dark on the switch, it makes it so a lot of pokes that would be checks or counters either can't switch in or get crippled as a result. Also one thing that people haven't mentioned about...

perhaps in the future but even though the haze set is probaly the objectivity better set its still early in the meta so people are still running other sets more commonly, plus rest talk/muk out stalls haze/toxapex every-time I have come across one.

curse rest A/Msa I have found does amazing against psychic spam teams. Take out their ground coverage and its a dam good win condition. also sets up on toxapex who stays in trying to get the scald burn. havent had one yet that seemed to expect the rest/talk

alola muks curse rest/talk set is a great lele counter immune to psy attacks and can tank moon blasts from lele and focus mis from alakazam.

more then discussing just competitive I feel that smogon disscussions always revolve around the meta as a whole. So it doesnt seem out of place to disscuss how non optimal sets fair in ou or sets becomeing more optimal as the meta\team needs change. banefullbunker is not optimal on most teams...

that was back when the legend pokes were the only ones with bst over 600. That argument just doesn't fly anymore Aegislash would have been a top tier legend pokemon in any of the older gens but now you can catch a pokemon that can ko the old god mewtwo on route 6

Gengar with never ending nightmare has been pretty great so far 2ko or okos alot of pokes that would be checks other wise. if used correctly with destiny bond it can assure that gengar is gonna be taking at least 2 pokes down with it

so far I have found its a great way to bring in frail pokes like gengar and alakazam on pokemon that would otherwise ko them on the switch (its really usefull in ubers to trap with mega gengar)

On the in game side of things the ability looks really handy for if you catch one on a nuzlock playthrough

looks like a he has enough priority moves to make up for his speed stat
