Hackmons XY

[Toraen]

Just a question about that last part... do you just make sure your HP stat isn't divisible by 4? just wondering... i've seen that strategy used alot

Yeah, reducing your Lugia's HP by one will make your HP not divisible by 4 or other even numbers that are relevant for things like sub, status ailments, hazards, and damaging weather. Being able to survive with a smidgen of HP is better than nothing and has definitely helped in winning some close matches. I can't think of a relevant matchup where losing 1 HP really hurts your mon's survivability either.

Entertainment has more pp, you should use that instead

However, Skill Swap can give you a useful ability and the ability to use the item you just stole. A klutz mon isn't going to be PP stalling for long in most cases anyway if it keeps Klutz.

I'd actually recommend Lunar Dance as another option for it since once it has done its job it might as well bring something in safely and restored if it can't do anything more.

People generally anticipate the skill swap and switch to their wonderguard users. Even the newer players who make the stupidest moves tend to play with their wonderguard users the most.

Yeah, you could also run extreme speed on it to hit things like slaking :^^^^))))

I've seen that one before... (along with pixilate MegaChomp... ) It's actually pretty good at taking out trappers...

Pixilate mega garchomp isnt that versatile in hackmons.

*could run it with scrappy, but its still a horrible waste of a slot XD

 

[Halliday]

I feel as though slaking could do that better, just cause it has the stronger explosion...

Explosion has no viability in hackmons

Tell that to the guy you're quoting too...every pokemon slot that is left is considered valuable

Funny how I was just thinking before I learned about the move that I wanted to replace my m-manectric.

That's freaking scary <.<

too bad it isn't a real move ._.

edit: Chuun, did that petition for custom game ladder ever get passed? just wondering :P Pikachuun

 

[Pikachuun]

That's freaking scary <.<

It actually is, otherwise it wouldn't be there. It just isn't officially obtainable in-game yet.

Alright, thought it was just a CAP move <.<

well... earthquake is kinda useless now

 

[Yui Hirasawa]

Thousand arrows isnt really presenting much of a threat to me. My advice is to anticipate it no matter what pokemon the other guy is using.

Ok I play literally no pure hackmons but I know that 1000 arrows is the best move in ph as it is the definition of anti meta as for predicting which pokemon have it any pokemon can have any move in ph so that's kind of hat sure one pokemon will run it more then the other but by no means does that make it predictable. I'll say it again I have like 1 ph team and it's only because Regi likes pie gave me his insanely cookie cutter team but take my 2 cents with a grain of salt as I'm all bh and no ph

 

[Kit Kasai]

Lol actually I'd say the most op move in ph is either baton pass or substitute (or both?). 1000 Arrows is FAR from being op in ph, just don't run air balloon wonder guards. Just run wonder guard deo-s or something :P
