The Trick Room Compendium (WIP)

Serapis · Aug 13, 2015

POINT OF CLARIFICATION: I will be updating all of the "Details" sections with sample sets and description paragraphs as well as other notable moves that the Pokemon may have. Think of it like a TR centered analysis for each mon.

I've been meaning to do this for awhile and just now am I getting around to it. Long story short, this will be a compilation of every VGC legal Trick Room user in the game (I'll create edited versions of this for future VGC formats). The list will be sorted by PokeDex number. Every Pokemon that gets Trick Room will have a section, however Pokemon that are outclassed by one of their fellow Trick Room users will have that in their description. Before we start though, we might as well review the effects of Trick Room.

Trick Room has a Priority of -7, meaning that it will always be used last in any given turn. The effects of Trick Room last for 5 turns, but the first turn is counted as the turn that the move is used so you effectively have 4 full turns to utilize Trick Room. While Trick Room is in effect, the Pokemon with the lowest speed stat moves first. Priority brackets themselves remain the same, but the slowest Pokemon in each bracket moves before the rest. If Trick Room is used while Trick Room is in effect, the effects of Trick Room will be reversed.

So, with all of that established, let's begin!

Instead of listing every Trick Room user (which is probably a waste of effort on your part), why not just list the fully evolves ones and viable nfes? No one will ever use Porygon when Porygon2 AND Porygon-Z are available.

That can be used to shorten the OP

You put the regular version's stats for Mega Slowbro and Mega Alakazam

Lol. In paper, Stantler looks like a pretty neat TR setter. Until i remember is bad.
Also, it's funny to see most if not all viable TR setters between gen 4 and gen 5.

What's the whole fucking point of this post when you got movedexes everywhere that do the exact same thing: list Pokemon, stats, and verify legality

It would be better overall if you simply put up the pokemon, and then gave a good analysis about each one's TR options. And remove stuff that doesn't need to be there (I.e. porygon).
