Stakeout wasted on a pokemon with bad stats.

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN

at least he's good in game, right?

>>30988483
Simple is probably better now that he has Swords Dance and two forms of priority.
+4 252+ Atk Life Orb Bibarel Return vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Toxapex: 313-370 (102.9 - 121.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

>>30988483
It has SD and like 2 priority moves, Simple Bibarel is gonna be a silly gimmick at least.

>>30989486
This. Bibarel may finally be viable in OU if not UU

If Moody wasn't banned, Bibarel would be Ubers.

I've actually played some with people who played ORAS RU rules but in Gen 7, to see how good stuff like SD Bibarel would be. Bibarel was a complete deadweight and useless garbage, even in games where the team it was on won. It doesn't have the bulk to set up, the speed to use non-priority moves, or the power to have your priority moves OHKO.

SD will probably land it a niche in NU this gen. It might even still end up PU if NU gets powercreeped to ORAS RU levels. But it's got zero viability in tiers RU or higher.

>>30989884
gid gud

>>30988483
Bibarel has Simple SD now
It's good

>>30989884
With screens up it'll survive enough to fuck anything over with at least +3 STAB returns.

>>30990388
Supporting it a shitmon doesn't make it a non-shitmon. Everything that's better than Bibarel without screen support is still better than Bibarel when there is screen support.

>>30990499
Supporting a shitmon is literally the aim of at least 75% of singles and 100% of VGC
