Priority thunderbolt

>>28628503
Whimsicott can do Thunderbolt to hit Flying types I guess.

Honestly i see meowstic and klefki getting more usage...especially klefki. We will see though...just excited for S/M!

>>28628503
I really hope Ludicolo gets Dancer somehow. And ANy ice pokemn getting the Water turns to defence ability

>>28628503
It will definetly see usage especially with Dark Void and Spore. It's been a common thing in Doubles and this might just finally be a solution to said problem. Let's hope they introduce also an item like Damp or Heat Rock for the Terrains

I'm confused about this thread. Does Prankster grant priority to moves of a terrain's type or something?

>>28628503
Tapu Koko/Alolan Raichu should be fun in doubles.

>>28632272
>X used Earthquake! It's super effective!

>>28632242
Prankster grant priority to all non-damage-dealing moves.

>>28632298
Yeah, I know, which is why I'm wondering why "Priority Thunderbolt" is the title of the thread when tb is a damaging move.

>>28632304
Nature Power as mentioned in the OP

>>28632304
Nature Power. It gains priority from Prankster even if it turns into Thunderbolt because Electric Terrain.
= Priority Thunderbolt

>>28632317
>>28632338
Oh I see, thanks.

Speaking of Nature Power, why the fuck did they remove Earthquake from the selectable moves, they took away Sawsbuck main coverage move and answer to Sucker Punch.

>>28628503
Looking at it from the back I thought it was a jew Pikachu

Hard counters like anti-priority as an ability are unhealthy for the meta, especially since we're getting a disastrous buff to prioty with this and rock-priority move from dayruff. This guarantees a slot is going to be used for priority block. Especially in singles, it's going to be almost as disastrous as hazards. Now 1 slot is going to be a hazard clear, while another slot is going to be priority block, leaving 4 free mons.
VGC is going to be a priority fiesta while singles is even further ground into the dirt by Gamefreak.
I get that they're promoting VGC as their competitive teir, but most people play singles, smogon or not. They really do need a balance team at GF

>>28632509
They had better give priority blocking to more Pokemon than just tumblrfish or there will be one on every single team

>>28632560
Wouldn't that be beautiful though? This fugly fish no one in their right minds actually likes, but will use it just because of competitive.

...HMMM... KINDA LIKE...FERROTHORN.

ferrothorn is going to be out of the picture if aids lizard sees usage

>>28628503
>Typhlosion learns Nature Power
>Tapu Koko makes it so that Nature Power becomes Thunderbolt pretty reliably
>tfw Typhlosion essentially gains access to Thunderbolt this gen, and possibly Energy Ball too should there be another island guardian with auto-Grassy Terrain

>>28632653
Only if it evolves.

>>28632626
Ferro has the stats, typing and move pool to back it up, while we still don't even know if the fish's gonna be bulky.

>>28632666
You don't know what its stats will be yet. He'll almost definitely have to hold shuca or balloon though which is a pity

>>28632626
There is nothing wrong with ferrothorn. As well as no one particularly liking the design, I don't think anyone actually hates it. It just is.

>>28632653
Question, are you retarded?
>Hm a x4 weak to fire mon and I have a fire type
>I better use toxic

>>28632682
That makes no sense.
Either way, if it's a standalone evo expect it to have Relicanth or Stantler tier stats.

>>28632680
>Doesn't evolve
>Water type
she'll be fine

>>28632703
Or it could turn like Skarmory.

>>28632688
yes, use toxic is what i said

Anon you could just use flamethrower and kill it. How thick are you.

I unironically like Ferrorthorn; I'm sure a lot of people do. I like the way it uses its vines to walk and I like its cry. However I've never trained one or used one in a Showdown team.

yeah, whoever heard of a bulky one-stage water type

>>28632752
Who ever heard of a shit one stage water type.

>>28632765
But that evolves into >>28632752

>>28632765
luvdisc isn't meant to be bulky. what is being discussed is whether metafish will be.

>>28632716
You realize that if Skarmory wasn't a Steel type, it would be absolutely garbage?

>>28632734
>>28632752
>>28632765
>>28632787
It'll probably wind up like qwilfish. It isn't gonna have alomo's full retard HP stat, no way. It isn't gonna be a luvdisc or corsola either so I'm thinking it'll have kinda shit stats made better by a good movepool and good ability(ies), like qwilfish.

>>28632787
>This Pokémon buries itself on the seafloor, leaving only the growth on its head exposed. By emitting a low level of psychic power, it serves as radar to detect prey. Additionally, the protuberance can emit a strong psychic power.
It sounds like a Special Attacker.

>>28632823

But it also gets Strong Jaw as an ability, so we may be looking at Game Freak's favorite shitshow: a slow mixed attacker with moderate bulk.

>>28632838
Strong Jaw actually makes sense now I think about it, given its a Parrot Fish. Those fuckers chew through rocks.

>>28632847
Makes sense but it'll be fucking useless I bet

>>28632838
Well it is a fish, as we know hoenn has a lot of water and a lot of fish, hoenn is also undisputed champion of the slow frail mixed attacker archetype.
>Cacturne
>Camerupt
>Seviper
>Beautifly
>Shiftry
>Exploud
>Crawdaunt has base 90 special attack
>Banette

>>28632936
...What does Hoenn have to do with this?

>>28632960
Saying that because Hoenn has a lot of water, and it's a fish, it will be a shitmon, because all fish are from Hoenn apparently.

>>28632285
Good luck getting past the fastest Fake out in the game, HP Ice etc. Also Raichu has mostly been used with Focus Sash anyway.

>>28632285
>>28633418
Also if the EQ user protects Raichu can just Encore it.

>>28632734
>>28632752
>>28632765
These pink fuckers need an evolution badly.

>>28632626
I love Ferrothorn. kys, ben10 memer

>>28630339
Ice/Ground-type with Water Compaction and Freeze Dry

115/80/88/95/105/98
Is it better than Eviolite Piloswine?

>>28632626
Fuck you Seed is cute as hell and Thorn is ultimate bro tier

>>28632272
I want to use Tapu Koko and Komala's evolution together.
