It needs water shuriken.

I just swept your whole fucking team

Same mistake as thinking that lowering defenses was a fair trade for Close Combat and Dragon Ascent. If they knew their own game, they'd know that lowered defenses doesn't fucking matters when the opponent is dead.

>>31693972
Ehh... any priority can kill it after sash.

>>31693985
True but charizard X and Aegislash are good backup.

Still hung on with the sash the first time in that case and I wouldn't be so dumb to use shell smash a second time.
Probably wouldn't have taken out your oral monster tho so you win this round chum.

when you forget to field your vagina in doubles

>>31693957
Still pretty good in singles in Gen 7, but it's ass in doubles.

What about Cloysters with fucking king's rock?!?!

Had to learn that the hard way when up against one with smogonsword, a much slower mon.

>Implying I didn't have Magic Room up to nullify your sash

>X used [literally any special move]!

>>31693972
I'm not retarded enough to not only let Cloyster set up, but to also let it sweep my team.

Even if you assume that Psychic Terrain is up and no other terrain has replaced it since then, there are still plenty of mons who can take any of Cloyster's moves. Keldeo, Poliwrath, and Empoleon are all resistant to Cloyster's main moves. Pretty much any physically bulky pokemon, especially water types, can survive a +2 rock blast. Also, any steel type that either has sturdy or a focus sash can kill Cloyster with ease.

It's like Glalie in that it gets no respect because it sucks in Smogon's tiers.

>>31694218
Does sturdy still work if you're down to 1 hp before the end of rock blast?

>>31693948
most water type stop cloyster

>>31694267

No. Multi hit moves go past Focus Sash too.

>>31694176
I also like Minacciao or whatever it is for this purpose.

Any physically bulky mon with access to Foul Play rapes this little vag. I've always toasted it with Sableye's fat smug fucking smile.

>>31694314
Fake Out, then Foul Play the Shell Smash
