I expected her to just be gimmicky shit, but she carried me through the e4 with ease. I love this dancing little Japanese ghost bird

>>30303812
I would've kept my pompom one but since it learns no electric type moves it bugged the fuck out of me. Sad, it was modest and did really well in trials but I needed someone with good electric moves.

I want to use Arcanine but Growlithe is such a damn wimp at level 34, it gets bodied by everything. What's a better fire pokemon I could train instead?

Ribombee is my choice, it's a monster even when severely underleveled

>>30302616
>tfw Minior surpassed all our expectations

>>30304082
Get a litwick via island scan or gts

He's better than every other fire and ghost in that game

>>30304119
Hmm, I like the sound of that, although I'd prefer not to double up on typing if I can help it (got a decidueye who's pulling its weight well)

This turned out to be my bro. I'm a little disturbed by its size though.

But that first evo stage is a fucking blight, holy shit.

Fucking Ribombee was the MVP of my blind Nuzlocke.
Fucker had a horrible nature, yet it still outsped everything and one-shotted Lusamine's entire team after getting off 4 Quiver Dances in a row.

>>30304203
What nature?

>>30304166
Edgebird only learns one ghost move and its a physical. Use him as support instead and get a litwick to kill everything

>>30304082
Ribombee is a motherfucker, go with that.
>Can learn Roost and Quiver Dance
>STAB on Dazzling Gleam
>Signature move is literally Bug Buzz, but it can be used to heal teammates in double/triple battles

>>30304246
>triple battles

>>30304226
Pretty sure it was Careful.
Dunno for sure if that was bad or not, but I'd guess that you'd want a Ribombee with more Speed or Special Attack rather than focusing on Defense.

>>30304269
>Googles it
Wow fuck, I didn't even notice.
I don't really care, but man I had no idea.

>>30304246
Fuck I didn't learn bug buzz because Draining Kiss/Acrobatics/Stun Spore/Pollen Puff has been so good to me

>>30304319
Post moveset

>>30304082
Salazzle is a decent fire pokemon.
>incredible special attack and speed, especially for an Alolan mon
>unique ability allows it to poison other poison types and steel types, though poison moves still deal no damage
>learns nasty plot naturally

>>30304319
you sure about that

>>30304482
Leech Life
First Impression
Liquidation
Sucker Punch

>>30302616
Yo curse Mimikyu is godly

>ability prevents an attack from hitting
>painsplit
>Z-curse recovers HP before activating curse so can curse no matter your HIP
>Z-curse fills HP before activating so if opponent is already cursed, youre fully healed
>learns Shadow Sneak
>part fairy so can stand up to dark types.

Its great when the pokemon you think is gonna be based turns out to be so based.

I expected it once I saw its stats. The great thing was that I just hatched a Shiny, so with 2 bottle caps, it can be viable

>>30304789
Suggestion: drop liquidation for aqua jet. Much less power, but the priority makes up for your lack of speed, and even a 40 power move is nothing to sneeze at when it's got STAB and comes from Golisopod's huge attack.

I ended up catching a cyndaquil because 1) muh gen 2 nostalgia and 2) I'm not waiting until Saturday to bench my growlithe. The question now is: am i still in the same situation as I was originally?

>>30304951
Yeah i thought about that. The first Wim i caught was Adamant so I just ran with it. He is really tanky as well and I haven't run into too many occasions where I was getting knocked to half with one hit so Liquidation was still effective. Once the meta settles Im going to breed one for Aqua Jet and run it in a Rain Dance team.

>>30305059
Cyndaquil is pretty bad, but I remember it being better than Growlithe. Should serve you for a while.

>>30305119
RIP, at least I saved before activating the scanner. Or does the game remember if you use the scanner and reset?

>>30305156
If you saved before scanning you can go back and do it again.

>>30304839
>Shadow Ball from Modest Gengar.

Wow that was hard.

>>30304789
whats the point of having First Impression? It seems like Leech Life would be better and can always be used. Ild go with Rock Slide to cover your flying weakness.

>>30305223
Goli has shit speed. First Impression is a 90 BP priority +2 move with STAB.

>>30302616
I found the same thing. Now I can't bring myself to not like the little shit.

>>30305211
that would do literally nothing the first turn. I doubt gengar could survive two Shadow Sneaks.

>>30305223
First Impression is a priority move.

>>30305211
>Disguise

>>30303921

Same, I GTSd for an Emolga because I couldn't stand the bitch.

>>30305247
>>30305262

ah, i didnt see that.

>>30305251
he's a big guy for a spider

>>30305258
>>30305271

>Gengar used Sucker Punch

Wow that was hard

>>30305347
good job doing neutral nonSTAB damage.

>>30305283
Yeah and if he gets switched out you get to use it again.

An adamant banded First Impression can one shot anything that isn't resistant to bug or has high physical defense.

>>30305347
Fairy

>>30305391
>>30305415
...G-gengar used Sludge Bomb!

>>30305391
Thanks,

>Disguise breaks

Gengar used Shadow Ball

>>30305464
Still neutral damage, but Mimikyu will at least feel it.

>>30305496
After surviving 2 STAB shadow sneaks? Bulky gengar new meta?

You guys are missing an obvious solution: Will o' wisp

>>30305520
or just use a steel type instead of ghost.
.

>>30305520
Sash.

>>30305520
There is reason most of his builds consist of sword dance or bulk up. He has good attack but not great.

Mudsdale. Incredible physical bulk, hits hard, even has nice special defense for a ground type.

Also, since it weighs like a thousand pounds it completely shits on fairies with heavy slam

Alright, cool. Unfortunately it is no longer Sunday and this little shit is Jolly.

>>30305615
Ah yes, how silly of me. Focus Sash Gengar is far too common in the meta for Mimikyu to ever be viable.

hated its name/design at first but both grew on me. endearing pokedex entries, great stats and ability and the movepool to make use of them

bewear is a bro

>>30303921
Revelation Dance is a 90BP move that changes type with Oricoro form

that would've been your electric type move man

Because it's worth it.

At level 40 plus though.

Anyways, I guess it's time I contribute a bromon.
>thought it was gonna be gimmicky
>tfw it's aegislash-lite
>immune to status above 50% HP
>viable mixed sweeper below 50% HP
>learns acrobatics and shell smash, for white herb shenanigans

>>30304239
It learns Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball in addition to Spirit Shackle.

Spirit Shackle is basically Shadow Ball and Mean Look combined, anyway.

>>30305828
why does it even need to white herb like honestly

>>30305868
>shell smash boosts atk/spa/spd and reduces def/sdef
>white herb reverses the defense drops
>having no item doubles the power of acrobatics

>>30305881
sure but you could also just have a weakness policy

love this horsecock

>>30305896
Doesn't weakness policy not boost your speed? I mean it's probably viable but I think shell smash is better.

>>30305907
I hate that fucking horse so fucking much

>>30305753
grew on me bewear fags are the worst

I can tell if you guys are meming or being serious, most of these suck

>>30305919
>implying you can't use both
Lrn2minmax

>>30305921
Why?

>>30306068
Shields Down form with reduced defenses is a bad idea.

This guy carried me through E4 and battle tree normal singles got 20 wins on my first run through with this guy Salazzle and A.Ninetales love this guy

>>30306125
I suppose. I usually try not to use legendaries though. Except for the battle tree, fuck that place.

>>30306073
On the receive end of the horsecock at MAXIMUM HORSEPOWER.

>>30306259
Is using 3 Tapus enough to cheese battle tree? I really don't want to have to go into breeding autism. Also, the Tapus are the only Legendaries allowed there i presume?

>>30306298
Ultra Beasts are also allowed. Pheromosa, Kartana, Nihilego, and Xurkitree all hold their own if they have decent natures.

>>30306357
Well shit, may as well just allow box legends at that point.

>>30305896
white herb lets you trigger your item when you want so acro does more damage
wp is dependent on the enemy

>>30306096
>>30306125
I don't see what you are getting at?
How is Tapu Lele going to stop shields down minior being 1 shotted by priority?

>>30308116

Psychic Terrain stops priority moves

>>30302616
I was just about to create a thread about Mimikyu.
I'm trying to catch Buzzwole in a matching ball because of >balltism, but it always ended up sweeping my team.
Caught this little thing and it walls THE FUCK out of Buzzswole, and it's only in the 30s. Now I can chuck Luxury Balls in peace.
