Can you prove this? All intuition says this is false, see Imposter mechs with Intimidate and Hazards.A Ditto copying Zacian will copy its boost and activate the ability again...

I can't prove it, but the most obvious precedent is Impostoring something with Download, which I'm told copies the existing boost and applies the ability again.Can you prove this? All intuition says this is false, see Imposter mechs with Intimidate and Hazards.
I'm sure it will work like this:Can you prove this? All intuition says this is false, see Imposter mechs with Intimidate and Hazards.
yo chill out he didn't mean it that way don't try to start beef dudeSorry but this is a pretty low-quality post. Dynamax doubles the user's HP. I wouldn't have mentioned it if I didn't know what it did, so why would you try to crap on what someone else wrote without having a clue?
It sure could, and that would make it easier for everything else if Zacian is using low BP non-STAB moves rather than STAB moves or Swords Dance. This is Ubers where you can't just mindlessly switch something in on a threat and expect to wall it regardless of the set it's running.
Its signature move does more damage to itself than Close Combat and is in fact a guaranteed KO with the tiniest bit of chip damage. Also setting up means it would be at +3 rather than +1, which would obviously be a guaranteed OHKO. Please do better rather than spreading misinformation.
Well in that case, we're right back to square 1 where I said Zamazenta is a solid check to it because Fire Fang is a lot weaker than CC against it, which is why I said you contributed nothing to the discussion.I was saying that it might naturally want to run SD / Play Rough / Fire Fang / Psychic Fangs (Fire Fang > Close Combat still hits steels and you avoid getting walled by Aegislash), not specifically to beat the core you devised. I can't claim to know whether people will want to use Zacian's signature move, but since Steel doesn't offer that much useful coverage alongside Fairy, I'm not sure if using it alongside Play Rough would be the best option.
If that's the kind of thing that qualifies as humorous to you, surely by now you should be used to people not finding you funny. Anyway, not only are there fewer hazard setters, there's more counterplay for hazards now given that something like Excadrill can now boost its speed with Rapid Spin and there are going to be a lot of Pokemon (especially Zacian itself) that will use a passive hazard setter as set-up bait for a Dynamax-boosted sweep since the metagame is missing so many bulky Pokemon.Well I was trying to be humorous (oof) because, quite frankly, Sash Marshadow is a bad set. Given that Zacian outspeeds Marshadow, you'd also be totally dependent on keeping rocks off in order to revenge kill it. It doesn't matter if there are "fewer hazard setters"-- as long as every team still has a Stealth Rock setter, then Sash Marshadow shouldn't be any more effective than it is right now.
Just noticed this. Defense lowering actually does have a use on Mewtwo -- if it's your last Dynamax turn, lowering the opponent's Defense makes them take 50% more from your next Psystrike. In combination with Psychic Terrain most likely being up (the only other relevant terrain setters are Zacian and Zekrom), Psystrike will just annihilate anything not immune to it, and likely force the opponent out. Likewise, Max Flare setting sun means your Fire coverage is essentially getting STAB, and the only relevant Pokemon likely to change it is Kyurem.Although most of Mewtwo's coverage moves don't give it very good effects (like Max Shadow, which just lowers the opponent's Defense)
Between Lunala, Aegislash and opposing Mewtwo, it will probably run Shadow Ball. At which point it usually OHKOes Dawn Wings Necrozma *unboosted* unless Necrozma invests in bulk:The lack of dark types in the meta open the floor for Dusk Lunala, which was absolutely unviable in SM and easily beats Mewtwo.
It's a very gimmicky set though. And Taunt will wreck it badly.I'm gonna leave this here because you can potentially make someone really sad with this.
Mew @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Timid Nature
- Block
- Imprison
- Transform
- Whatever
This might not be the right meta for it, but if you send anything that can't blow it up quickly it can just Block you on the switch, Imprison, and then Transform, forcing your mon to Struggle. Mew getting Imprison is one of the funniest additions Gamefreak has done.
That in itself makes Taunt the optimal option for the fourth moveslot, so that you can Imprison it before they get it off if you outspeed.It's a very gimmicky set though. And Taunt will wreck it badly.
whyd u calc mawileNot an Uber player, but I find it hilarious that Torkoal is probably the closest thing to a perfect answer to our overpowered dog holding a Sword ( And the reason why I don't say 100% is because of Dynamax Dig). Calcs:
+3 252+ Atk Mawile Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 232+ Def Torkoal: 141-167 (41.1 - 48.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
+3 252+ Atk Mawile Iron Tail vs. 248 HP / 232+ Def Torkoal: 157-186 (45.7 - 54.2%) -- 5.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
+3 252+ Atk Mawile Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 232+ Def Torkoal: 252-297 (73.4 - 86.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 SpA Torkoal Lava Plume vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mawile in Sun: 204-242 (62.7 - 74.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 SpA Torkoal Lava Plume vs. -1 0 HP / 0 SpD Mawile in Sun: 306-360 (94.1 - 110.7%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
While it does get 2hkoed by at least +3 fighting Attack, it can at least use Will-o-Wisp or Yawn to either cripple or force it out. Torkoal also has Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin, along side the fact that Kyogre/Groudon/Rayquaza no longer exist, means that you probably want another check like Ditto.
That being said, if SwSh GS cup becomes a thing, I may actually consider using Torkoal for the aforementioned reasons.
because zacian is not available on the calc, he just used zacian's stats on mawile instead.whyd u calc mawile
All the same, I would feel better if he/she actually renamed the pokemon instead of using the pokemon he/she calced. I would at least know that he consciously used Zacian's stats.because zacian is not available on the calc, he just used zacian's stats on mawile instead.
