OK, if you're so smart, what ability would make this

Speed Boost

>>31481999
the ability isn't the problem, its the speed.

>>31481999
Slow start

>>31481999
Wonder Guard

>>31482005
>waiting 3+ turns to get over 100 speed
Why

>>31482036
You'd outspeed fully invested base 110s after only one boost, you doublenigger.

>>31481999
Levitate so it doesn't get destroyed by mud-slap.

The only correct answer is Autotrickroom

>>31481999
Stall.

Its actually faster than a magnezone but i think the one i fought was scarfed.

>>31482200
Shoo shoo dialga goon

Parental Bond, maybe.

>>31482036

>Use agility in tandum with speed boost.
>Sweep.

>>31481999
Wonder Power (a new ability which is a combo of Huge Power and Wonder Guard)

>>31482253
what would vikavolt do with its newfound attack stat

>>31482253
Nono

Wonder Power Boost

Wonder guard huge power and speed boost

Simple and Quiver dance.

Tinted Lens/Compound Eyes HA:Electric terrain

HP: 50

does nothing but volt switch/uturn

>Changing its stats
What the fuck are you doing? Tinted Lens is all it needs. It lets Agility + LO put in work, or you can run Specs in Trick Room and just spam Bug Buzz:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tinted Lens Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Landorus-Therian: 312-368 (81.8 - 96.5%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tinted Lens Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Marowak-Alola: 108-128 (33.3 - 39.5%) -- 22.7% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tinted Lens Vikavolt Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Tapu Fini: 156-186 (45.3 - 54%) -- 94.1% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
This thing 2HKOs just about anything not wearing an Assault Vest, and that's without even worrying about coverage.

No Guard so it can throw out Zap Cannon like in the trailer.

>>31481999
Huge Power clone for speed.
Then it would outspeed base 130s(406 max vs 394 max)
But that may catapult it into Ubers.

>>31482451
why would you even run choice specs? this thing has a great attack movepool

>>31481999

Just run Timid and T-wave to cut your opponents speed. That ought to at least get it into an acceptable speed tier.

An ability that sets up Trick room by entering the field.

>>31481999
Compound Eyes

Zap Cannon now has a 70%acc
Now Combine it with Zoom Lenses

>>31481999

Swift Swim

>>31482281
>252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Vikavolt Wild Charge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Rayquaza: 352-415 (100.8 - 118.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

An ability that automatically sets Trick Room would probably be nice, but then it would solidify itself on TR teams and make Oranguru kind of useless in that regard.

>>31482606
It also has huge special attack. If you can 2HKO the meta with one move you don't need to hit anything super effectively. Bug Buzz/Volt Switch/HP Ground can cover just about anything.

No guard for that delicious zap cannon off of 145 special attack, paralyzing everything that moves.

Wasn't a big fan of Vikavolt, but I've been looking into it recently and trying out a fully defensive set (Bold, 252HP 252Def). It's not too bad actually since it's got decent resistances and 145 Sp.Atk is huge enough to still hit hard with no investment. I use it as a Pheromosa switch in on Battle Spot with Roost, Volt Switch and Guillotine

>>31481999
Analytic.

>>31481999
It's electric type so Levitate

>>31481999
Compound Eyes, and also let it learn Psyshock and Focus Blast

>>31481999
>tfw people actually found a niche for this thing in vgc, and not necessarily trick room

Feels good. Vikavolt is by far my favorite Alolamon in terms of design.

>>31486645
Wait, really?

What niche is it?

>>31486645
How are people using it outside of Trick Room?

Senpai tell your secrets pls I want to use my alola bro in competitive

Delta Stream

>>31486645
Is it the one that use String Shot as speed control?

>>31484663
that set's honestly the only one that works for vikavolt in singles. buge is fucking balk

>>31486751
Biggest issue with Z-String Shot is that it's one time use and easily undone

>>31481999
some ability, like drizzle or drought, except you use trick room on enter

emergency exit

It might be fun

>>31486781
True, but regular String Shot still reduces both foes' speed by 2 so it doesn't have some use in doubles/vgc.

>>31486786
what about an ability that actually exists

>>31486813
there are none that exist that can save this.
