Is this the birth of a new epic psychic-type counter?
>>29152824
Considering Drapion doesn't do shit, I'd say no.
>>29152832
Drapion's bulk is mostly physical, and Alolan Muk looks to me like it will have even higher attack than normal Muk, which already outpowers Drapion.
>>29152824
>psychic-type counter
Why would we need that? Psychic is among the worst types in the game currently.
>>29152824
It's a fairy counter. Many fairies have psychic coverage, which stops poison bros from actually doing anything.
So is salandit, with it's ability to fuck klefk and mawhile.
>>29152957
What's the point of Salandit's ability when it can just use a STAB fire move on steels anyways?
>>29152974

>>29152974
Heatran. It can enter with an Air Ballon and land an 100% guaranteed Toxic on it.
>>29152957
I really hope Salandit's ability lets it use any poison move on Steels for Neutral/SE damage.
>>29152996
90% guaranteed. Toxic can miss.
>>29153019
Toxic can't miss when used by poison-types anymore.
>>29153000
That's not what it does at all.
>>29153031
Huh, you're right. Learn something new everyday. My b.
>>29153000
No, Corrosion only applies to the poisoned status.
>>29152974
Because if it learns Toxic Spikes, it can be a great lead.
>>29153039
>>29153078
We're certain of this? Steel types will still be immune to poison type moves? That's super gay
>>29153139
Go to the sun and moon website and click on Salandit. Read Corrosion's description at the bottom
>>29153078
>Literally in his reveal trailer uses TOXIC on a steel type.
>>29152974
Fairy resists fire, doesn't it?
>>29153443
Other way around?
>>29152904
Drapion can run AssVest. Muk doesn't have a good recovery move either.
>>29153461
yee
>>29153411
... do you know what Toxic does? IT INFLICTS THE POISONED STATUS
>>29153472
>Drapion can run AssVest
So can Alolan Muk?
I didn't realise you couldn't hold an item as an Alolan varient.

Not really, lo reuninclus focus blast is a bitch,
Mega Alakazam focus blast is another.
Mega Gardevoir hypervoice is not a joke.
Specs latios is gaining traction, trust me when I say that even spdef mandibuzz has problems taking in the 2 Draco Meteors.
It really doesn't work as a psychic counter, Mew got wisp, Celebi got baton pass and jirachi has trick while being immune to poison and neutral to pursuit.
I doubt this thing can take a lo analytic hydro pump on the switch, Starmie is a bitch bro.
Not counter, just a shaky check.
>>29152957
Except Dark is weak to Fairy. Sure it's risky since that special D bulk and Muk's modest HP will mean it will likely survive and counter with Poison of some kind, but still I would rather take a steel Pokemon to fuck fairies over.
>>29153569
Or you know, just use spdef Talonflame, no fairy has a really good match up vs him, even Azumarrill has to predict a lot around him.
>>29152824
>drapion and skuntank already exist
>wow muk is going to change the game!!
i hate reading this shit
>>29153543
Why would you use a pic of a guy about to get his shit wrecked as a condescending reaction image?
>>29153632
Alolan Muk might be bulkier than those two.
>>29153508
I think he means because Muk usually runs Curse or Bulk Up.
>>29152974
Safe to use toxic no matter what
>>29152996
Really hope Salandit/its evolution have good stats. I want to destroy the metagame with this smug little bastard
>>29153632
>all Pokémon of the same type have the same stats and movepool
I hate reading this shit.
>>29152974
Because people seem to forget that it can poison Poison types too. Mega Venusaur is completely shit on by Salandit.
>Have a shiny Muk
>can't change it into an alolan muk
fuck......
>>29152832
>drapion doesn't do shit
look up citizen snips
>>29153871
>meme set that requires being up against a literal retard to work
>gets shit on by fucking Quagsire
"Drapion is good! He just needs +6 in everything!"
>>29153654
Because it works as a reaction image, regardless of the context it was presented in in the show?
>>29152824
Dark did nothing but make Muk worse actually.
Yeah, it's now immune to Psychics but in exchange it's now neutral to Bug, Fighting, and Fairy attacks it once resisted
>>29154036
It does resist Dark and Ghost so I would say it's a decent tradeoff.
