So Gen 8 is out! With it comes, well... A lot of weird things. Naturally, I wanted to try out some of the new Pokemon and abilities. So: Leek Duck (Sirfetch'd) (M) @ Wide Lens Ability: Scrappy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome...

Personally, I prefer Wonder Skin as Magic Bounce is overused and you still get debuffed on one of your 'mons with MB if it's an all-hit move. Also, it's just more satisfying to imagine opponents getting salty over their Toxic missing.

Wonder Skin! Ahhh, it's such a nice ability given all the status that bounces around... Lolita (Diancie) @ Weakness Policy Ability: Wonder Skin EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome Carmen (Cresselia) @ Weakness Policy Ability...

Updates! Team 1: Plus/Minus - A Case Study ✝OffTheDashboard (Ampharos-Mega) (M) @ Wise Glasses Ability: Plus EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome ❤ShapedSunglasses (Ampharos-Mega) (F) @ Wise Glasses Ability: Minus Shiny: Yes EVs: 252...

In the meantime while I play this out, may I present to you: The Case AGAINST Simple and Contrary, Abridged So at first gander, Simple and Contrary seem like really awesome abilities, aye? If you get a boost, auto-doubled, in the case of Simple. If you get a stat lowered, HAH! It's now raised...

I was thinking about that one too! For now, though, I think I'm gonna play with Plus and Minus. Time to break out the Mega Ampharoses!

Also, something interesting: If Sturdinja DOES Struggle, I think I recall that Sturdy activated to save Sheddy from killing itself.

The team of the day! A Mudboi and Defiant... Alois (Swampert) (M) @ Muscle Band Ability: Sap Sipper Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome Didacus (Gallade-Mega) @ Scope Lens Ability: Defiant Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP /...

awww, salty? https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-993241828 But yep, new team! Me, three hours ago: Or Technician. Or Sheer Force. Speaking of which, I should try those. Me, when building a team: Ooooh, theme! Screw those things! So this team is sorta based on two roleplay...

Update: It's apparently a bug that Synchronoise just doesn't work right when called by Metronome. The more you know!

Ahhh, makes sense. Thanks!

I'm going to ask a weird question and use a weird replay for it, but I was told y'all might have an answer for me... https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-993197978 How was Kakuna's Synchronoise able to hit my Gallade and Gardevoir? Isn't that not supposed to happen? The...

Who're they? Because I doubt the primary target was Kakuna, given how Mets works... Then again, what do I know XD

Quick question: I'm trying out a new team here, but... Can anyone check the replay and tell me how Kakuna's Synchronoise was able to hit my Gardevoir and Gallade? Is that supposed to happen? https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-993197978

Meh, true. (Starry's the Electric type, not the Ghost type, though.) I was just so sick of Perish Song that I did that. You could always just put the OU Magic Bounce on it and call it a day, but mehhhh. Or go for Magic Guard, that's always nice to have. Or Technician. Or Sheer Force. Speaking of...

Fyi: Another way to deal with Perish Song is running Soundproof on one of your 'mons. It's quite niche, though... Night (Oricorio-Sensu) (F) @ Weakness Policy Ability: Delta Stream Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Brave Nature - Metronome Starry...

This is why Desolate Land is banned: P-DON (Camerupt-Mega) (M) @ Scope Lens Ability: Desolate Land Shiny: Yes EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD Brave Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Metronome HAUNTS ME (Camerupt-Mega) (F) @ Expert Belt Ability: Analytic EVs: 252 HP / 252...

So I'm back, and I've tested out Rattled WP Cress. She does not disappoint. I've paired her with a Pixilate Expert Belt Cress and holy cow they are a duo. Let's not talk too much this time, though - here's the team. Dark Side (Cresselia) @ Weakness Policy Ability: Rattled Shiny: Yes EVs...

This took me like... 40 battles to pull off? XD I went for a Sticky Barb Diglett instead of the Life Orb Black Belt, but, well, here is PoA Sturdinja in action: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-937103158 Half the time, Shedinja ended up dying first. The other half, when PoA...

So with the return of Mets comes the return of me clicking one button hundreds of times and nearly tearing my hair out in sheer pain because NO DON'T EXPLODE! Having said that... I've decided to mess around with an Ability that it seems nobody's using. Namely, Analytic. It gives you a 30% power...
