Welcome to VGC 2017 I hope you like getting fucked in the ass

>>28655499
why? I don't understand.

>>28655536
His signature move lets his ally use the same move again immediately after. The example they showed was Wishiwashi using Surf twice. He also has Telepathy, so he's immune to his ally's surf, eathquakes, etc.

The other monkey's ability has more potential

But can it survive priority, taunt, etc?

But what if rugby monkey can inherit Wonder Guard?

>>28655583
I'll assume it only works on moves that hit all pokemon on the field

>>28655639
On the official site it says it allows its ally to use the most recent move they used. So not just area moves.

>>28655583
How is it immediately after? If the attack has a priority then maybe? but what if your partner is too slow, or dies before Guru can move. and it just means you're allowing one pokemon to move twice, it's not like you're gaining anything.

>>28655597
Couldn't the ability Receiver allow Passimian to get Wonder Guard?

Possibly but they have a tendency to block Wonder Guard from working with things like that since it's at risk of being unbalanced

>Oranguru is a Pokémon that appears only in Pokémon Moon. If you’re playing Pokémon Sun, you can obtain it by trading with someone playing Pokémon Moon.

>Oranguru live solitary lives deep in the forests and do not usually take much action. Instead, they position themselves high up in the trees to meditate. Long ago, people thought that Oranguru were humans who dwelled in the forest depths, so they called them “the people of the forests.” Oranguru is kind to the other Pokémon living in the forest, providing medicine for injured Pokémon and food for the hungry.

>Oranguru sometimes act on their own initiative and will use items that only humans normally use. From a Trainer’s perspective, they can be hard Pokémon to handle at times. Allegedly, there have been sightings of Oranguru using Poké Balls!

>The fan-like objects held by Oranguru are handmade by the Oranguru themselves. These fans appear to be made of layers of leaves bound together with Oranguru’s own fur.

>Instruct is a move that only Oranguru can learn. It can make the selected target use its most recent move again immediately.

DARK TYPE NEW META

So the riddler's monk staff is referring to Oranguru then

btw the japanese name is Yarengutan, as in "yare yare"

>>28655689
If Sage Monkey is faster they'll just use the move they used last turn, like Copycat.

Not to mention the psychic typing. Probably gets access to trick room, inner focus stops fake outs, a mental herb stops taunts, definitely lots of potential. Rugby monkey too, its just do situational, I can see it causing some weird moments

It probably won't work, like with skill swap or role play

I'm glad someone remembers him

>>28655981
best part is that Oranguru are learning how to use Pokeballs, so this song is strangely right.

>>28656159
Smeargle wouldn't be nearly bulky enough to be useful

Honestly it's not, Receiver I doubt will be spammed as an ability and when you think about it EVERY FUCKING TEAM NOW HAS A FAIRY OR FLYING OR EVEN PSYCHIC MOVE. Or a stally pokemon. It would legit just make people bitch in turn showing their own ineptness.

Anyways their abilities and moves hopefully paint them to be great for Competitive. I always liked Ambipom, Darminatan and even the always-hated Simitrio and these guys just bring more fun to the party.

But we already know that come VGC19 unless Xerneas meets its maker in Solgaleo or wtf ever that 'Guru with mental herb, inner focus/telepathy and that move is gonna be hella scary. Passimian reseting up the weather or like getting moxie or bruxish's ability or countless other things- hella scary. But the good hella scary that make us grow as Pokemon players.

>>28656159
But Smeargle doesn't ignore Surf and Earthquake. Unless this thing has even worse BST and stat spread than Smeargle it isn't happening.

>>28656235
>>28656606
That is implying your focus wont be stuff like status moves.

Or maybe having both so you can do it twice.

>>28655612
Why would you want him to? He's Grass type, the worst type in the game. Make him inherit Protean so he can get rid of that garbage.

>>28657605
>grass
what, it's fighting

>>28657605
Pure fighting type.

>>28655760
The meta is not ready for this

>>28655689

>It's not like you're gaining anything

To an extent, yeah. But a Mega-kang with 4x Attack on turn one could be something worth trading a mon for. Also

>Mon used Heal Pulse
>Oranguru restored 50% of it's HP
>Oranguru used instruct
>Mon used Heal Pulse
>Oranguru restored the rest of it's HP
>Mon used recover
>Mon restored 50% of it's HP
>Oranguru used instruct
>Mon restored 50% of it's HP

People are focusing heavily on the offensive implications of instruct, but it has some serious utility when it comes to support as well. Also allowing teammates to immediately set up full Toxic Spikes, or two layers of spikes, in one turn.

>Allegedly, there have been sightings of Oranguru using Poké Balls!
Rise of the planet of Orangurus

>>28655499
We need to see stats and other shit first, it has potential but you guys are making a mountain out of a molehill.

The other ape also looks very good too as long he's fast.

Reminder that recharging Pokémon aren't affected by Encore so they probably won't be affected by Instruct.

>>28659718
Those moves are kind of shit and even if Instruct could make them fire off twice you still have a turn of being a sitting duck. It wouldn't be worth it

Smeargle will probably utilize this well.

I wonder if this would make moves like Sky Attack and Fly activate immediately.
