It has great defenses, especially with AV, and good HP. With access to leech life. Hopefully it won't switch out immediately, but it still works out great.t

Golisiopd laughs at puny cats attempts to damage him.

You missed my point. It doesn't matter how little damage you deal, by virtue of its ability, Meowth forced it out. When you factor in stealth rocks, that meowth actually did over 25% damage

>when you factor in Stealth Rocks
Have you considered the possibility of using Emergency Exit to switch into a spinner?

If you lead with golisopod, rock and spike setters are then in a predicament where they have to choose between a heavy hitter possibly smacking them about or buffing up to be their own wall and maybe sweeper, possibly auto swapping out to a spinner if they actually get low, and it has a preference towards physical priority moves.

I was under the impression its ability only activated once its health dropped below 50%

>>29769215
Is that the only ability it has..? Isn't that kinda shitty, just swapping out? What if you only have on Pokemon in your party.

>>29770680
When you factor in stealth rocks, Meowth only did ~30% damage total, which is not enough to activate Emergency Exit.

This guy will be a beast in tandem with mega meganium

It does. Was just pointing out that golisopod is FUCKED once it hits that threshold, because it constantly gets forced out before it can attack, unless you use priority, but the more priority moves you equip, the less powerful attacks you can utilize while you're healthy

If it's your only Pokémon or last one, then the ability won't activate, such is the case with U-turn and Volt Switch.

This ability has a lot of potential though. I look forward to playing with it

>>29771990
Or perhaps it only activates once it goes from above 50% to below 50%

>>29771990
First Impression is actually its most powerful move
