Ok, time to update this thread, thanks to everyone who participated this week!
Ok, the next victim of the week will be the 10th one under my watch! mmm... ok. Lets try to make it special.
And the next mon to be victimized is:
The Artisan (Smeargle) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 96 HP / 120 Def / 40 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Stealth Rock
- Magic Coat / Taunt
- Spore / Dark Void
Ok, here is how this is gonna work:
We all know how effective of a lead smeargle is and it recently dropped to RU on the last tier shift so this week we are going to take a different route towards this victim.
Contrary to just posting traditional checks and counters, now we are going post mons that could effectively avoid smeargle of doing its job. Mons that avoid this to set any hazard, mons that can avoid spore, mons that could cripple, beat it by removing its hazards in a 1v1 situation, etc.
Creativity is up to you and it will certainly be rewarding. Spread could be optimized is one wanna helps with that no problem. Hopefully it is fun for everyone
Now go!
