Remind me again why Slaking is considered bad
Because it looks like your mama
>>30552401
Because you need to meme it into being useful.
That being said, I have wrecked a lot of people with Protean Skill swap from Kecleon.
How it would actually go with any half decent opponent who actually has a brain is that the Slaking would get hit with Fake Out immediately, Pyukumuku would get Taunted immediately, and your whole incredibly obvious gimmick strategy goes to shit fast

>obvious gimmick strategy
>>30552435
>Fake Out
>Taunt
Not seeing nearly any use in the current meta.
>Pokemon with incredibly shitty ability that someone would only use if they had a way to remove said ability
>Pokemon that doesn't even have any moves that deal damage
Hmmmm I wonder what the opponent will possibly do :^)
>>30552469
Knowing what the opponent is going to do =/= winning.
Just because they anticipate Slaking carnage doesn't mean they can do shit to stop it.
>>30552514
I can guarantee you any non-retard who's playing VGC will smell your shitty gimmick strategy a mile away as soon as the team comes up and immediately stop it the moment you try to carry it out.
>>30552514
>>30552455
M8 due to my innate fear of clefairy gengar bullshit I always taunt turn 1
>>30552435
>what is mental herb?
>>30552539
Because I wouldn't have 4 other Pokemon to choose from?
I'm not saying Slaking is an insta-win, but Slaking does fuck at lot of teams up.
>>30552589
So does Regigigas
>>30552606
I'd use him too if he was available.
>>30552544
>what is fake out?
>>30552544
>what is rage powder?
>>30552401
>king
honestly I got 100 wins with him on my rotation battle team in omega ruby. Great pokemon. Snorlax's rapey older cousin.
>>30552662
literally who uses a pokemon that learns rage powder
>>30552696
rip
>>30552717
Jumpluff and Amoonguss are fun to use in a similarly autistic way that OP is using a slaking
>>30552753
But I don't think those are available in S/M for the time being.
>>30552648
But you used fake out on slaking! :^)
>>30552401
Because nobody, not even (You) has a 70% GXE above 1400 ELO with it, and because you got a crit. Please go back home to ELO hell and stay there.
>>30552799
Both of your pokemon know fake out!!
>>30552401
Because defeating people in 1400 isn't a good proof your memeset is good
>>30552450
Were you born yesterday?
People have been trying to run this "strategy" for a decade now, they try the same shit with Regigigas.
>>30553120
ye but pyukumuku is new
Completely different.
>>30552542
good to know, lets battle
>>30552401
Gimmicky
Situational
easily Abusable
practically useless in Singles besides Baned giga impact or retaliate when team mate faints|
Needs a bit team support
>>30553184
Yeah, now people just gangrape slaking since pyukumuku can't do shit since it's the shittiest support for this gimmick.
>>30553248
Z moves go through protect so it's a guaranteed kill turn one. Then you just out damage and out tank and should be able to KO out at least 1 more.
Even if you consider Pyu useless, it's still a 2 for 2.
>>30553241
>practically useless in Singles.
Good thing that combo literally doesn't work in singles.
>>30553596
>Remind me again why Slaking is considered bad
he was generally saying why people consider it bad
>>30552401
Protect is everywhere in doubles and Pyukumuku is dead weight. And Slaking is not powerful enough to OHKO everything plus Intimidate is also pretty common.
>>30553596
Another might though, but Slaking'll need to waste a slot for Pursuit.
Cofagrigus uses physical attack and suicides.
Slaking comes in.
Slaking used Pursuit.
>>30553650
see>>30553353
Protect doesn't stop Z moves.
>>30553353
>Z moves go through protect so it's a guaranteed kill turn one.
Yeah, at 25% damage.
Slaking Need a MEGA SLAKING
Ability : Vital Spirit
HP : 150
Attack : 160
Defense : 130
Sp Attack : 95
Sp Defense : 105
Speed : 110
Here, only 80 stat rise but it basically guaranteed Mega Slaking to be kicked upward to Uber Tier, still, it basically made a gimmick pokemon into equal rival of Arceus... Or just made Arceus his bitch...
>>30553698
more like gay moves
>>30553806
Broken as fuck, either give him a decent ability and no stat boost or keep truant and give him a ridicolously massive boost like +40 to all five stats
>>30554227
Hmm, maybe giving Slaking Vigoroth's ability as his Mega ability, while merely giving modest 30 raise on Special Defense (and nothing else), would do the trick.
Basically Physical counterpart of most Uber Legendaries in manageable 700 stat. Still a Normal type and now cannot reliably slack off or use leftovers. Just a really bulky physical attacker.
Not as broken as the other Mega Slaking suggestions, wall carrying Will O Wisp will make short work of him.
