Psychic and bug buzz, thanks to those two moves it took on two if the elite four on its own

... Never would'a thought a Bug/Poison type's most appreciated feature would of been said typing. :lol:

CK is unaware of how awesome Venomoth is, due to only paying attention to OU Pokemon.

 

[n0on3]

I was also surprised with how effective he was

 

[Splash_King]

CK is fully aware of how terrible Venomoth is, due to only paying attention to good Pokemon.

Fix'd.

 

[Neosquid]

CK then fully accepts that Whimsicott, Raichu, Roserade, Zoroark, etc are terrible Pokemon.

 

[Splash_King]

YA THINK GENIUS????

You think I'mma be a dickhead, play favorites, and declare 'em as being epic or somethin'? That ain't my style, bro. :lol:

Though, Whimsicott is hardly terrible, just lesser. That's like saying Gallade is absolute garbage just because it's NU.

 

[Neosquid]

Speaking of Gallade, Ally Swap is a surprisingly viable move in doubles.

 

[Splash_King]

Ally Switch*

It has niche uses I'm sure, but... It's definitely gotta be a waste of a moveslot, and especially a turn most of the time. Since you believe otherwise, do tell why.

 

[Neosquid]

Well, if the foe has a Latios and some other Pokemon out, let's say, and I have Gallade and Hydreigon out. Gallade uses Ally Switch, and Latios heavily damages Gallade with Draco Meteor, meaning to hit Hydreigon. Hydreigon can then murder Latios with Dragon Pulse.

 

[Splash_King]

didnt realize ally switch has priority derp

Moar useful than I thought, but still rarely useful. Sure, Hydreigon wins the exchange with Latios. What about their second Poke? What if it's MORE threatening than Latios? What if it's faster than Gallade and uses Fake Out? At best, you probably just lost Gallade/both it and Hydreigon are quite weakened, while their Latios is KO'd. Evening things out in doubles doesn't get you wins; an eye for an eye is what you should strive for at worse.

If that was the best use of Ally Switch evar, I'd definitely call the move a gimmick.

Whimsicott, Raichu, NOT Roserade, Zoroark, etc are terrible Pokemon.

[Neosquid]

It's funny because Whimsicott is actually pretty annoying to fight, as is Zoroark.

 

[Splash_King]

^ Eh... Illusion isn't as fantastic as people ever made it out to be.

fix'd

A good point. Roserade definitely ain't terrible. Surprised I didn't catch that...

 

[Neosquid]

Please define "terrible", CK, as you seem to call most non OU Pokemon terrible.

And I agree, Whimsicott is much more annoying than Zoroark.
