First impressioning the shit out of a dark/psychic/grass pokemon and one shotting is one of the most satisfying things ever

What a charming young bug. He sure makes a great first impression.

>>30928950
this thing looks like a normal wimpod but in a mecha suit

how do you even run this thing?

>>30929916
He's a decent pivot because all of his moves should be priority with the exception of liquadation. Slap an assault vest on him and good to go

>>30929916
Adamant
252 Hp/attack
-first impression
-aqua jet
-leech life/liquidation
-sucker punch/rock slide/swords dance/whatever

Emergency exit at its best lets it function as a free switch. Hit shit hard with priority and gtfo. He is pretty bulky with assault vest as the other anon said. You have to think about using him, can't just slap him on a team.

>>30929916
>run him first in line

>>30930103
The fourth move barely matters, 99% of the time you are clicking First Impression. On the off chance Golisopod is your last, swords dance can let you clean up. Again, most of the time your just spamming priority.

>>30929916
I run him in Doubles on a semi-Trick Room team, he functions pretty well outside of Trick Room because of First Impression and Aqua Jet yet can blow shit up with Liquidation when you've managed to set up.

>>30930103
Do you think Celesteela was designed to hide behind Protect and Substitute for 40 turns while Leech Life slowly kills the enemy?
Maybe

But the fundamental design of Golisopod is easily countered if you do nothing but run 3/4 priority moves
Use some strategy where appropriate

Yes, another First Impression. Do you not understand how Golisopod is supposed to work?

>>30930180
>Restores to 51% hp
>Hit
>Fall to < 50% hp
>EE
>Swap back in

What's hard to understand? His ability can be used multiple times if you heal him

Golisopod is cute!

CUTE

>>30930212
>>30930218
I mistyped, and meant to say
>another Emergency Exit
Because that's not possible

>>30930248
It is possible. His ability doesn't disappear after he uses it. If you heal him above 50% he can use Emergency Exit again

Is this a Metal Gear Solid reference?

>>30928950
Which would be the best improvement to Emergency Exit
>If this pokemon is brought below 50% hp it will quickly attack if it has yet to do so this turn and then switch out of battle
>This pokemon will be alerted to an attack that would bring it below 50% hp and switches out just in time to dodge it causing the attack to fail. This effect can happen once per battle

>>30930305
Leave it the way it is and add Battle Armor as secondary/HA

>>30928950
I just heard the sound in my head.

>>30930305

Only improvement emergency exit needs is to not activate until the end of the turn

>>30930305
Second one sounds broken af

>>30930248
You've only been playing showdown, haven't you?
In the games it triggers WHENEVER Golisopod has been brought below 50% from above 50%.
Including hazards, and poison/burn damage.
I think life orb damage too, but I haven't tried it myself.

>capcha: donald way out
capcha, get off /pol/.

>>30929916
Some guy threw a rock tomb at me after I failed to get it to 50%, then switched on a threat to my Pokemon, since I'm slower I'm forced to switch and he can set up or predict a switch.

>>30929318
>Gosipod teleports behind you
>Its a criminal hit!

>>30930729
Speed stages don't matter when you're running only priority moves.

As long as Lele continues to rape OU, Golisopod will never step foot in that tier and be good ever.

It'll be fire in UU tho.

>>30931184
This. It's a good UU muhmentum pivot, but it's only a niche pick in OU because of Lele.

>>30931184
Tapu Lele was a mistake

>>30930628
I confirm about Life Orb, which has been super useful for me in some cases

OU is Diet Ubers at this point so who even cares anymore. UU is now the hot topic.

>>30930212
>>30930218
>>30930305
>>30930628
Random thing about Emergency Exit: if it's bought down to <50% by U-Turn or Volt Switch, the switching function of those two moves is cancelled and they stay in while Golisopod switches out.

>>30928950
Aranquid is the better bug/water i don't give a fuck about this overrated piece of garbage.

>Including hazards, and poison/burn damage.
so golisopod is even worse in the actual game. How sad

Golisopod was amazing in game and then went downhill from there.
I'm sorry Duke but that ability isn't doing you any favors.

>>30928950
What the fuck even is First Impression?
I mean, if you're Golisopod and your trainer told you to use First Impression, what the fuck would you do?

>>30930305
just let it fucking activate at the end of the turn

Judging by the animation, it's like this:

>oh shit, there's an enemy right in front of me
>trainer yells at you to attack it
>!
>just slap it really hard, or something!
>hope you can run away before the opponent his back

>>30937908
Based on the japanese name, it's a huge bug coming at you really fast outta nowhere.

But one anon described First Impression as when you're the wimpy-looking white boy in a prison for the first time, and some big ass motherfucker looks like he's about to talk shit. You gotta make yourself known to not be a pussy little bitch, so you grab something pointy and shank a fucker as fast as hard as you can.

>>30937908
The opponent is intimidated by Golisopod when it's released and Golisopod exploits this moment of hesitation by bitch-slapping the motherfucker

Does Bruxish have a good support movepool? Because Strong Jaw seems to be the superior ability for it.

>>30930305

Just make it so it doesn't cause me to run away from wild Pokémon.

Always give me the option to switch Pokémon instead of just running away from the battle.

>>30930180
First Impression, part 2?

>>30940288
I'm going to imagine this is what Psychic Fangs looks like.

>>30940288
it gets trick room and dual screens, and disable. so actually yeah, being a trick room setter that prevents fake out is pretty good.

>>30939134
>oneshot a fucking Lunala
i mean i know it's 4x weak but christ

>>30930212
If he had U-turn and EE allowed his non-priority moves to go off he'd be an absolute monster.

>>30929312
>X used Fake Out!

I'm working on a strategy with Wish:

>First Impression
>Gets hit, automatically switch
>X uses Wish
>Switch Golisopod in
>Golisopod get's healed
>repeat

How do I make this work?

>>30941744
Just Leech Life, ya dummy.

>>30941744
Alternatively, Alolan Persian can use Z Parting Shot after you've used Golisopod once, Persian will lower the opponent's offensive stats and switch out, healing Golisopod to full health.

>>30934352
>first turn out
>uses Swords Dance
The fucking mad man.

>>30943139
Nevermind, got to the point where he normally would've been switched out. And then realized there was no one else in the team anyway.
