>Apologies for grenigger? Ash-grenigger spotlight?
A better apology would have been making all starters equal in competitive viability but still good.

It doesn't need to persist when it leaves. Just landing the move gives you momentum

Obviously you shouldn't count on the trapping of shackle when Decidueye will get KOed next turn, at that point you might as well suicide it to get something else safely

Spirit shackle ->Baton pass

wait, what? what the fuck?
wasn't it just supposed to be mean look with damage?
how about Anchor Shot?

All Mean Look moves are like this.

>Anything that Shackle doesn't kill will just kill Decidueye because he can't take hits from anything with a damage investment.
>Anything that Shackle does kill means that the secondary effect is useless.
It's a pointless secondary effect unless your opponent is a moron or got caught in a VERY specific situation where they want to switch but didn't until it was too late.

Maybe if it was a Pursuit clone instead of Mean Look with damage, there'd be something.

pedo doesn't say anything about this, just that baton passing bypasses it

>>31245864
Doesnt work.

Exactly this. I have never been afraid or impressed by Spirit Shackle.
