Will he ever be useable?

Make it a bulky fuck. Strength Sap is honestly fucking disgusting, in conjunction with Spore its even worse. Only real problems it has is the whole x4 Poison thing and the fact that it screams Taunt Bait. That and the disappointing BST, but it can still take most hits.

Eh, he is fine. Strength Sap and spore is nice. He has alright bulk. His damn weakness to poison hurts though. He is fine enough in the right team.
>>30972444
>Spore + Dream Eater
Sure.
Has anyone actually tried using Shiinotic? How is it?
>>30972883
I kind of want to use him, so I second this.

I have fun with one on battlespot. Unless the opponent has a spookysword, megamence, specs/band SE move or literally any poison move it usually does work.
Most memorable battle with one had it push a MegaMetagross into a corner with Spore/Strength Sap. Honestly, if you give it one turn to do anything with Spore or Strength Sap, you're going to have a bad time.

This is the reason Smogon has that sleep clause crap.

Yeah I can see how that would get shitty fast

I use it as a gimmicky way to set up TR with Mental Herb Mimikyu in doubles.

>Spore everything on the next turn
I've messed with Strength Sap but it's useless in doubles, most of the time you'd rather be Spore/Moonblasting things and if you do sap them they can just switch out. With its mediocre bulk it would rather like to have Protect instead anyways.

Strength Sap is amazing. Hilarious watching people's reaction when I live a move and recover it all back in one turn.
>>30972444
>Is there any hope for him?
Yeah, the crystal hands treatment is working well.
