Out of Arbok's abilities, which would you say is the better one to use?
>>32189215
intimidate you dumbfuck
>>32189215
Shed skin
Other replies may tell you it's intimidate. You should be extremely cautious around people who try to tell you that.

Isn't intimidate one of the best abilities to have on anything?
Shed skin helps with staying power since it can prevent it from being burnt or put to sleep, and sometimes it can net you a one-turn rest
Intimidate gives you increased bulk on switch-in, and can cause your opponent to switch and give you a free turn. It's also much better on doubles making it very good for support sets in there.
Unnerve is trash.
Overall, if you're going doubles get intimidate, otherwise consider more what kind of set will you be running... in PU of course. Objectively speaking, however, intimidate is a better ability. It lends itself to many more potential types of pokemon and isn't luck dependent like shed skin.
Depends, if you wanna use setup, shed skin is better so you can use rest as recovery.
But otherwise intimidate is almost always a better option

intimiate is useful 80% of the time

Unnerve is not even worth that remaining 5% anon.
>>32189279

>>32189279
Then don't send it in on a special attacker
>>32189280
Fucking with situs or lum berry users is funny
>>32189283
No, but clearly are
>>32189279
See I was thinking that too, but Arbok has higher special defense than defense, so physical attackers would be a bigger problem.

Also intimidate can force them to switch or be setup on, meaning even if they do switch it's a free turn.
