SPOILERS! Scarlet & Violet: The Teal Mask

[Eeveeto]

Fun fact about Knock Off Morpeko is that it also gets Spin and at the same time outspeeds and resists Gholdengo's STABs. Stats are of course not good, but me and Morkal will certainly find use for it.

Poltergeist Pult would go straight to Ubers wdym noo.

 

[Dhrabb]

Why do people want Pult to get physical ghost stab, it ruins how uniquely it plays

 

[StarFalcon555]

Blueberry is in Unova

SV's a real world tour with its DLC

bitches complained so much about wanting a second region in the postgame of a Pokemon game that GF went "you know what????? fuck it. we're putting TWO DIFFERENT REGIONS in the DLC. FIRST EVER POKEMON GAME WITH THREE REGIONS BAYBEEEEE"

and bitches are still complaining because none of those regions are Kalos

Game Freak can never satisfy Pokemon fans istg

the stats aren't good but they're good enough to give it a solid matchup against gholdengo—if ghold is uninvested, 252 atk jolly morpeko has a slight chance to ohko with knock off. even with full defensive investment, knock off does over 50% minimum and you can just futz around with the aura wheel/protect combo until you get the opportunity to use dark-type aura wheel to secure the ko

Wait, Serebii has Gliscor listed with Toxic, I thought that wasn't the case?

 

[FuecocoBoi]

Munkidori and okidogi stats just dropped
Guts drain punch is a thing

i was under the impression that munkidori got frisk. did that info change while i was asleep?

 

[Fusion Flare]

So. no roost Gliscor?

[Bugboy]

Monkidori seems extremely strong, 130 special attack poison/psychic with 110 speed is already good… but it also has nasty plot, parting shot, focus blast, fake out, u-turn, trick. Absolutely insane move pool.

and we all know how crazy toxic chain is

 

[DaddyBuzzwole]

Ursaluna

hariyama got it in gen 4, dude. guts drain punch is old enough to drive

 

[FuecocoBoi]

i was under the impression that munkidori got frisk. did that info change while i was asleep?

Munki got frisk, oki got guts
you run toxic chain on Munki frfr

 

[Pokemon Trainer: Shadow]

So. no roost Gliscor?

It's not a TM, so no

 

[Valoo]

Oki has guts bulk up drain punch poison jab crunch
i might swap out sneasler for this

Oki has guard dog, not guts.

 

[FuecocoBoi]

Oki has guard dog, not guts.

Oh, I saw leaks that it had guts
still, guard dog is actually really good

 

[ANinjaDude]

Oh, I saw leaks that it had guts

Being immune to Intimidate is always good for dealing with Lando, and being immune to phazing moves is nice for a set-up sweeper.

...but Dipplin has the same BST as Appletun and Flapple. As much as I'd like a buff for the entire line, a regional evo for a regional evo seems silly.

 

[Cuddly]

I think you are underestimating the power of Poison/Fairy as a typing. It is literally two of the best defensive typings in the game added on top of each other. The difference in the number of resists and lack of weaknesses compared to Dark/Flying is quite extreme, not to mention the lack of a Stealth Rock vulnerability.

I think Fezandipiti will be generally less focused on being a set up sweeper and more focused on being an annoying pivot that can easily switch into about half the attacks on any given team.



It's definitely not going to be running Technician. As a fairly defensive support, it's probably going to be the best of the trio at making use of Toxic Chain. It's really not going to be significantly worse than the other two imo. This is not a Wo-Chien situation.

Thing is that as a defensive Pokemon it’d do almost nothing besides use Toxic and Roost. Offensively it’s like physical Goltres with Roost but struggles against Steels and Poison (best options are Double Kick, 70 SpA Heatwave, and Tera Blast Ground), and has worse ability all things considered.
Between the loyal trio I think it’ll be the least used. Not to say they are terrible shitmon on par with Unown, so long as your Metagame has good Steel and Poison types you can beat Fezandipiti.
It also could be a different story in doubles since it gets actually good Doubles support moves like Icy Wind and Tailwind.

Showdown will take a day or so to update

not just immune, contrary on intimate. also no switchout moves affecting it

yes, but dipplin is also really bad. like, almost comically so. they gave it a 60-power, 85-accuracy move as its signature. and it looks unevolved too
