Why not a different type ability. Have it grow a lightning rod out of it's head and give it lightning rod. I mean if ace tile can have it, why not a mon that could abuse botlbeam resistance?

That or the ability to autospin when brought in, or autospike. THAT is utility.

I honestly hate these kinds of abilities. They're kinda stupid and way overpowered. The only positive thing about them is that it's on a Pokemon that can't do much.
 
Yeah, I'm sure Forretress can abuse Lightningrod and Ice Beam resistance so much with a base 60 Sp. Atk and Sp. Def. Mega Sceptile gets Lightningrod because its tail is a tree, and trees are known for attracting lightning (remember why you don't take shelter under them in a thunderstorm?). Please do the research next time.

Searching trees struck by lightning showed a fuckton of broken or flayed trees... That and forest fires.

Not sure how a layer of spikes or spin is broken. If you anticipate the enemy Forretress, you will burn it as it switches in... I'm not the best battler, but this is no shadow tag. Just antistall.


Anyways, let's talk granbull. Fairy/Dark would be a nice stab combo only resisted by fairy/steel. Add maybe knock off and give it the right ability...


It's hard to please anyone while trying to cleverly make everything S tier.

The problem is that you don't have to work much to set it up.

Granbull... doesn't seem like a Dark type, and we've been seeign a lot of Dark-type Megas. Additionally Strong Jaw is too obvious, I guess we could just roll with it (since it essentially gives it STAB on Crunch). Personally, I'm in favor of Sheer Force or Brute Force (this thing has so many special moves it can't use ugh).
 
Also, Dilasc bro, I really like your Shed Skin ability and I'll have you know I voted for the 2 (or 3) megas you submitted with it but none of them won.. so yeah :p I think it's cool and I'd vote for it for Forretress if you submit it too.

Let's say we give it a 50 Atk Boost...

252+ Atk Ferate Forretress-Mega Explosion vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Carbink: 1732-2040 (569.7 - 671%) -- guaranteed OHKO




I would be fine with Fairy/Dark Granbull. It is not bad reasoning.

And as for auto-spikes/spin. It just feels like it's a free turn generator and kind of a lazy ability design. As for the overpowered part, it can come in and then just Volt Switch right out to a better counter. I dunno. I just don't like it.

It's not bad reasoning... it's not any reasoning at all. I'd like someone to explain why Granbull should be Dark type, especially when it's secretly timid and easily startled. If it's just for Fairy/Dark STAB, better make it Fairy/Ground which has great coverage as well.

Nah, I figured it more looked like it could have been a dark type. I totally forgot about the timid portion.

Granbull is based off a bulldog. A pit bull was a descendent of the bulldog and there's a decent number of people that honestly fear them because of how aggressive some people make them (by abusing them and stuff). So my thought is that Granbull becoming more pit bull-esque and people's negative views on it would go hand and hand with a dark type
 
Granbull makes more sense with Fairy/Normal than Fairy/Dark, but there's no reason to stray from Fairy, really.

Also, Strong Jaw is basically perfect, but Brute Force/Sheer Force would be the next best choices.

It's still slow as balls. Even with +50 speed it'll be at 95 base speed and I can guarantee that if we do that the rest of its stats will be crap

Mega Mawile is still slow as hell and it's an A+ threat. Same with Azumarill. After an intimidate, it's also hella bulky. It probably wouldn't be Uber as I forgot to factor its very sparce movepool.

Bulk-Up is a Hella lot harder to set up with with a Pokemon with no healing and a weak special side. Sure it becomes more of a physical wall, but special attacks destroy it

It's going to get SDef buffs, guaranteed. But yes it will be easily revenge killed by anything with Sludge Bomb/Wave or Flash Cannon
