- Is mentioned in theory thanks to its unique typing for a sleeper, the speed tier, and large array of moves
- Discouraged heavily here thanks to its frailty causing it to not reliably achieve in positions where its typing and intended role would apply, ex articuno rolls vs it are awful despite its water-typing. Poliwrath exists, elaborate on what it does. Note some horrible dmg calcs, explain that despite Amnesia and Hypnosis combo being enticing the problems Amnesia faces in UU. Note difficult MUs.
- This is an analysis to fill a slot, not to encourage the usage of the mon.
[SET]
name: Sleeper
move 1: Hypnosis
move 2: Surf / Hydro Pump
move 3: Blizzard / Psychic
move 4: Amnesia / Seismic Toss
[SET COMMENTS]
Set Description
=========
- Establish what mons we outspeed and target with sleep
- Calcs and targets for Surf, advantages of HPump and the obvious drawbacks
- Calcs and targets for Blizzard, Psychic alternative for x reasons
- Whether you select Amnesia or Stoss/Counter/BSlam/Eq is dependent on what you want out of a Poliwhirl that does somehow do something besides sleep and get slept/blown up, setup or offensive. Explain when Amnesia can come into play, notable boosted calcs. Establish advantages of the bonus attacking move, calcs how it comes into play. SToss consistency, BSlam paralysis, EQ vs Tent, and the list of weird Counter situations (notably Kangaskhan).
OOs: Counter, Body Slam, Earthquake
