muthafuckin sub dd dragon, kobe would be proud. sets up on a whole bunch of shit in the tier, you know how it goes. slightly overrated mon, its true. probably the best set for it though. considering swapping this out for NP hydreigon which is more mamba material? phantom force is a piece of shit also. i dunno, i think this mon is good but not that good, but sub dd just 6-0s a lot of teams flat out. set up on pex/rotom-w etc and take it from there.

will flinch the entire enemy team, 8 would be proud. this is fire, im telling you its so good. liquidation used to bop stuff, miss me with that ice shard. this isn't a lead, it's a sweeper. 48% to flinch stuff I believe? its so good, even without the flinch shenanigans i used to use this thing with a life orb before just for maximum power. so happy this thing is a viable sweeper in this gen.

mandatory on webs, a true black mamba coming in hot. defog deterrent, deadly priority, can sweep unsuspecting teams though im quite sure everyone is prepared for him. watch out for conkeldurr, that mon is broken but particularly tragic to see when using this thing.

sets up screens like the most underrated defensive talent in history, DPOY material like kobe. my lead 95% of the time. dual screens are standard, it's my only suicide lead if i even decide to sac it, usually it stays alive which is good for me to set up again later in the game. drain punch is that good good tech for bisharp, exca, ttar etc to catch them off guard and win against them eaaaaasy because they aint expect it.

a guard with magic.... sound familiar? it's my muthafuckin boy kobe.... you thought 3 attacks LO + moonlight was dope, try this one out. nothing walls this shit bar cinderace (Which is trash just fyi) and flareon (even worse), rotom-h being the only good shit. either way, that mon gets killed by everything else. this mon is so so good.

the finale... laker colours coming out... poison electric... purple and yellow... pretty garbage in most games but when it pops off it pops OFF. boomburst over fire punch because i think we can muscle past ferro and excadrills pretty well with the other mons. admittedly in this meta poison and electric stabs are phenomemal, nothing is better than seeing that piece of shit corviknight getting fried. used to be an NP gengar which was admittedly better than this thing, but i wanted to try something new and shiny. genuinely the most replaceable mon, can use hydrei/gengar/aegislash and get on that ghost and dark spam which is pretty bonkers in this tier. broken stuff.
