[Kefka Palazzo™]

Really annoying when not handled properally, but magic mirror rips this thing apart.

Yet there are only 2 mons with that ability....

 

[Morm]

^which means that unless you are terrified of it you probably won't be packing it, making them shitty counters.

 

[PokéMontage]

Yet there are only 2 mons with that ability....

And...what's your point? Magic Mirror is still an extremely useful ability that can be used to great effect, regardless of how few Pokemon actually have it. Plenty of people have used them and not just for the niche purpose of countering Erufuun, so it's definitely something to watch out for.

 

[KokoaKiwi]

Actually, people use Magic Mirror just to counter status and entry hazards, trolling Erufuun is just a plus.

 

[Green Mage]

Erufuun learns U-Turn, and both mirror pokes die handily to pursuit. As a dedicated Erufuun user, i've got this strategy down to a science. Espeon and Xatu are getting rarer and rarer anyway.

Besides, Erufuun is mostly immune to itself. It can't leech seed itself, doesn't care about paralysis, encore fails on the switch-in, and it u-turns out of taunt. I'd only be concerned about putting myself to sleep, but I personally found Grasswhistle terrible and I never use it.

 

[Entei Fan]

I think switchroo with a lagging tail could be useful for crippling sweepers who need their speed. Before you write this off as an inferior stun spore think about if run into an ego stone user, stealing that will ruin the pokemon.

 

[Woodchuck]

So monmen is no good? darn. I was going to ask.

Lv. 5 Monmen with Micle Berry, Substitute, Leech Seed, Grasswhistle, and a filler move of your choice is okay.

Apart from that, I don't see any reason to use Monmen over Erufuun.

Iron ball could also be used over lagging tail. Both do the same thing to yourself, but Lagging tail makes the opponent ALWAYS go last within their priority bracket without boosting Gyro Ball, while Iron Ball boosts Gyro Ball but makes Levitate users vulnerable to ground.

Wouldn`t stun Spore be better in almost every aspect except Acc?
It works more than once and you get some hax.
Also my first switch in to Erufuun is often a trick absorber and those often carry trick on their own possibly ruining one of your pokemon later on :/

 

[Kiorein]

Erufuun learns U-Turn, and both mirror pokes die handily to pursuit.

Good users of Xatu and Espeon run versions that can survive or avoid pursuit. I use physically defensive Xatu with Reflect and Roost. Not even Tyranitar can kill it. It's really funny when people try to kill it with a Scizor, as I easily kill those with HP Fire.

 

[alphatron]

Funny enough, Scizor avoided Xatu last generation too thanks to Heat Wave.

 

[Mario With Lasers]

Even then, wouldn't it be better to use a Lv1 Erufuun?

 

[lmitchell0012]

In double battles, erufuun makes an excellent partner for slaking. Then again, anything with worry seed is an excellent choice, but erufuun is especially useful thanks to it's immunity to earthquake and mischievous heart.

Erufuun is pure grass, its Jumpluff that is grass & flying, hence Erufuun would clearly be not immune to Earthquake - he received neither Telepathy or Levitate for that. Unless of course you're planning to equip Erufuun with a balloon.

 

[voodoo pimp]

It does resist Earthquake, though, so bulkier versions could do all right. I've gotten many a setup turn by coming in on an obvious Earthquake and Encoring it.

 

[Synth_Metal]

Defense invested Celebi seems to perfectly counter erufuun, even with that 4x weakness to u-turn

 

[TorchicBlaziken]

Except Worry Seed fails on Truant.

It does work on Regigigas, though.

Which makes me wonder; shouldn't Regigigas be at least BL in Mults thanks to its Uber prowess in this situation with Monmen? Because Regigigas and Monmen are NU Pokémon, but in this situation, it's like having an Uber on your side, and considering that most UU and NU Pokémon are nowhere near Regigigas's level, wasting a team slot for Monmen is worth it, especially in NU Mults.

its often way too difficult to set up as your opponent will just attack Regigigas with both pokemon as the strategy is very easy to predict the same goes with Slaking. it seems good on Paper, but fails in reality.

also there is no double/triple NU/UU just a standart tier and even this is played only by a small amount of ppl (wich is a shame, but you can't force the ppl to play it)

Will attacking Regigigas with both really be an effective strategy? Once Whimsicott removes SLow Start, he's got very respectable Speed, and he's got bulky HP and defenses anyway. Would they really be able to take him out on the first round? A first turn Rock Slide from Regigigas would do some very heavy damage.

 

[alphatron]

In triples, couldn't an anger powder pokemon serve to keep regigigas from being attacked by everything to begin with?

 

[Enlong]

Or Follow Me, right?

Really?? Well, that sucks. Gamefreak is determined to ruin every possible strategy for slaking.

 

[Wrave]

Slaking - Truant= Doom for most.

Or you can just ban Monmen, I don't see a reason to remove a useful pokemon, because an otherwise useless or gimmicky pokemon breaks it.

 

[Ramiel]

This thing causes so much ragequit it's not even funny. This, Roobushin, and Urugamosu are pretty much my favorite pokemon of this gen so far.
One of the funniest battles yet using Erufuun. Although you have to consider that the opponent wasn't too skilled.

This thing causes so much ragequit it's not even funny.

I'm always amazed how people don't switch when I encore their setup move. Then they usually ragequit when I start raping their team with +2 Blaziken.
