TIME TO RISE TOBL2
she deserved better
>>29854006
DB nerf and priority nerf hurt and not getting Cotton Guard outside of events hurts even more.
>>29854006
>She
Yes please.
>>29853944
I'm so psyched, Banette is my favorite Mega design.
Play Rough when?
>>29853944
Nothing screams screwed over more than this thing even with the change to MEvo priority.
>165 atk is meaningless because it's strongest attack has NO STAB (Gunk Shot)
>Has piss poor defenses and HP of 64/75/83
>75 speed is too fast for TR and too slow to do anything else
>Non-shitty attacks are special based off 93 s.atk
>Burn damage nerf and Destiny Bond nerf which were it's most used attacks
>Everything it can do M-Gengar does more reliably and less situationally
>No dual type and shitloads of other ghosts to choose from
This thing is practically Farfetch'd tier with how bad it does everything.
>>29853944
Too bad most statuses got nerfed this gen
What's the db nerf?
>>29854158
>>Burn damage nerf and Destiny Bond nerf which were it's most used attacks
What? I mean I know that you can't spam DB anymore because it has a chance of failing but how was burn damage nerfed?
>>29854197
Works like Protect thus can't be spammed
>>29854204
1/16th IIRC
>>29854204
It does 1/16 damage each turn instead on 1/8 each turn.
>>29854204
Atk reduction got nerfed
>>29854241
incorrect
>>29854204
The only thing nerfed about Burn was it does half the damage each turn.
But that's not a big deal, because that's not the reason Burn is used to begin with. Chip damage is nice, but it's used first and foremost for the Attack halving, which the status still retains.
Now that M-Evolution grants priority first turn for this guy, it can reliably evolve on physical attackers. It probably wouldn't have even wanted to use Destiny Bond anymore now that it's got reliable burns. Substitute would be good for predicted switches, and perhaps 2 offense moves. Maybe Shadow Sneak and Shadow Claw.
It got better. Will it be genuinely good now? Probably not, it still has to contend with it's poor offensive movepool. But it's actually got something going for it now.
>>29853944
she's a big mon
another gen of being cucked by sableye
>>29854080
wew
>>29854310
I wouldn't say that. M-Sableye loses priority in favor of magic bounce.
>>29854343
I'm talking about normal Sableye
I want to fucki t
>>29854269
My set is:
Sub
Claw
Db
Confuse ray
I use
Sucker punch
Phantom force
Shadow claw
Will o wisp
Works pretty well on battlespot, especially on aegislash where pf laughs at kings shield.
Sadly mine didn't have any egg moves when I caught it. Its a shame it can't learn stuff like brick break or hone claws for boosting. If Dusclops can get bb why can't he? I was also considering teaching mine snatch To let him steal recovers or other boosts from opponents or from his partner in doubles to make up for the lame movepool, anyone think that might work well?
>>29854080
Post more lewd best ghost, anon-san.
>>29854158
technically its strongest attack is phantom force
>>29854269
>M-Evolution grants priority first turn for this guy
glorious
>>29854947
Sucker Punch is only 10 BP stronger than STAB Shadow Sneak but with fewer PP, resisted by fairies and has a chance to fail, therefore it is bad and also not very good
there are 0 reasons to use shadow claw and phantom force on the same set
>>29854756
Confusion got nerfed too, only activates 1/4 of the time now.
>>29854976
I don't have any more
>>29855030
I really only play against friends and on battle spot. One issue I have is the inability to deal with dark types. Besides hidden power fighting and dazzling gleam. Any better ways to handle those instances if it needs to?
>>29854100
>Junko
?
>>29855277
probably the 2hu one desu
>>29856580
Why tho?
It has a unique niche of being able to use priority Metronome.
I'm lost. How exactly is Mega Banette more viable now? It gets Prankster priority on the first turn, but what can you do with something that is so frail when other Megas are out there?
>>29857341
Destiny Bond
