Unique typing?
Pic related says hi.

Why does everybody think Grass/Ghost is good? Look at fucking Gourgeist and Trevenant...

>>29459536
The owl is gonna get banned to Ubers and stay there if it's fast and Spirit Shackle lasts longer than a turn/while the owl is out. This is Protean-tier, maybe beyond.

>>29459736
Ah, I meant unexpected, I was actually about to look Trevenent up so I can see his type resistances.
Every Grass/Ghost is outstanding. Best type combo.

>>29459736

It's semantics, yes, but technically Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist/Phantump/Trevenant are all Ghost/Grass, so Decidueye is the first and only Grass/Ghost-type.

Well it OHKO'd alolan Raichu on the japanese trailer so even if it doesn't carry it for the effect it's going to see use for its power.

This thing will be great for stopping double switches though.

>>29458510
Spirit Shackle is not broken. It lacks the key element that makes Shadow Tag broken, which is the fact that it is instantaneous and doesn't allow the opponent a proper switch-in.

So is this decidueyes actual speed or the speed of its attacks. Sounds like the latter to me, which could also mean a gale wings equivalent.

>Wastes one turn trapping Pokemon when Shadow Tag already exists.

I don't think Decidueye have much defense, so it might get wrecked while trapping.

Something like 100+ spe/100+ att

Don't forget about his "powerfull kicks", which could mean that Dark and Normal types, which resist/is immune shackle, could be High-Jump-Kicked to hell.

It's signature attack ALONE fucks up the current meta so hard. People already where going to drop M-Kanga after it's nerf, but they might need to keep it just to have something to stop this bullshit.

>>Spirit Shackle is a Ghost-type physical move that only Decidueye can learn. An opponent hit with this move will become unable to flee from battle or switch out for an ally.

I like Decidueye, but goddam I'm a huge duskull line fag and this is something that would help it out immensely.

Serperior doesn't need sleep shit to be gud.

>>29458510
Y'all are dumb as fuck. It's a mean look effect so it only lasts as long as Decidueye is in battle. It's nice because you know they won't switch on the turn you switch a counter in, but they can still switch after that. It has usability on hazard teams where it'll force a bunch of switches, plus it spinblocks.
Hopefully it gets u-turn

Serperior is the best in both battle and style. Robinhoot can't compete.

It's not broken because we can still switch as soon as we see a Decidueye on the field, allowing a proper switch-in.

>>29466300
On the first turn though, when people usually set up hazards or whatever, if Decidueye is sent out it pressures them to either abandon setting up right away or deal with getting stuck in.

>>29458510
Do we know the base power for this move yet? Watch it be something like 40.

Is this the owls actual speed or is it attack seed?
If its the latter what if it means a gale wings equivalent ability?

>>29466558
Lets say 15pp 60 power.

Is it still good?

>>29466604
Imagine if they give it Technician.

>>29466604
Not if you want to deal any damage, but still good enough to slap something.
Unless its HA is Technician. Oh god I'm cumming

>>29458510
So does it get Laser Sight as well? Do the starters have two signature moves each?

It will be an okay move if the owl gets baton pass. Otherwise it's practically worthless, less useful than just using a higher BP move to get chip damage.

unless you're swapping in a normal it is still going to be annoying in VGC

>>29466734
It's Mean Look with damage, that's the difference. Also
>you have to switch out, breaking your trap
They still won't be able to double switch, possibly giving you a free turn to switch something that can set up in.

>>29460076
>most ghost or psychic types have worse defense than special defense

Damage mean look is not good

It'll be 60 power and stupid on a frail offensive Pokemon looking to boost and get OHKOs. What on earth makes you think this is as good as Protean or Speed Boost uber starters?

oh man, slowbro, rotom-w, keldeo, all fucked

This thing is most likely bound to get HJK/JK so there's that definetly. Add some Flying coverage from Dartrix (who will probably learn BB either via breeding or Level up) and some more moves like Thunder Punch or Knock Off and even Rock Slide and recovery in Roost/Synthesis and this thing is simply terrifying. It doesn't even need to be that speedy, 110 is enough with 110 Atk.

You eat shit for not knowing this game.

If spirit shackle works like pursuit and actually prevents switching it's gonna be pretty fearsome. A damage Mean look on something with so many weaknesses (and starter BST) only looks like an infinitely worse version of Mega Gengar.
