As Healing Wish has been shown to now wait for a target that can be healed, going on standby for as long as the current pokemon slot is occupied by something at full health, is this also the case for a regular Wish? Or will that still attempt to heal even fully healed targets? Healing Wish only...

Seeing how good Freeze-Dry is in the current meta, I wonder if our weaker tao trio dragon won't become a bit too good for SwSh OU. Kyurem-B is already a dead ringer for getting banned this time and that's merely because DDance + Icicle Spear got added to Kyurem's learnset via TM/TR, and base can...

I suppose I can live with a ban to Ubers - that's one less "clause" to see pop up at the start of every match on PS at least. Poor Octillery tho. This feels like the Arena Trap bans from the past where you can't even use Arena Trap Trapinch anywhere but Ubers. :bloblul:

Octillery also lacks Disable, so it can't prevent anyone from destroying sub on the turn it can't Protect, whittling down its health much quicker (where Glalie can Disable-stall for Leftovers HP) So yeah, I agree - if any ban is made, it should be to Glalie, not Moody.

So someone showed this set to me and it looks very promising as a late-game cleanup sweeper: Accelgor @ Throat Spray Ability: Unburden EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Bug Buzz - Energy Ball - Focus Blast - Sludge Bomb After using Bug Buzz once, you're...

The SubDisable Dragapult set made me far more worried about Sub than Moody Glalie ever did in its short time since being un-banned. SubDisable Dragapult is 10x worse since Hyper Voice/Boomburst can't even hit it thanks to its typing and Dragapult is an actual threat already, which Glalie is...

Might not be my place to talk about this, since I'm just a low ladder semi-casual, but on the subject of Moody clause, I'm a bit baffled why running just one sub-breaking mon or move per team (which would also completely bypass half the issue with SubProtect Moody Glalie) isn't a solution...

Theorycrafting for a bit here, since Utility Umbrella hasn't been implemented to PS yet unfortunately: Heliolisk @ Utility Umbrella Ability: Dry Skin EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Volt Switch - Thunderbolt / Parabolic Charge / Discharge / Thunder - Hyper Voice...

Toxic ignores accuracy checks and hits through semi-invulnerability like Dig/Fly/Bounce when used by a Poison-type.

So I was browsing a "unlisted effects" thread on Reddit from a few hours ago and my eyes fell on this thread within: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/e11fvi/fun_fact_toxic_when_used_by_posion_type_never/f8lrhuw In short: Do Ghost type moves now hit through semi-invulnerable states...

Hold on. That list says Knock Off doesn't work vs DMax, is that true? That's quite a big nerf to Knock Off in the current meta, and it does still work on Showdown currently...

https://pokepast.es/a86795063f697e6a I generally lead with Gallade, who threatens some common leads like TTar, Pelipper, or suicide Exca, letting it set up the Hypnosis Blunder Policy for free - preferably missing for the speed, and otherwise putting whoever the counter they sent out is to...

So, at first glance, Blunder Policy is a meme item that has people trying to make work with things like Inferno. Essentialy, you give up one move slot for an otherwise useless move to get +2 speed, and then if it hits and doesn't give you your speed, you're probably dead on the next turn. But...

How does Copycat interact with Max Moves? Does it cause the user (not Dmax'd itself) to use the Max move, the base move, or does it simply fail?

Guess who's back from the depts of RU? Revenge Gardevoir! Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf Timid Nature Ability: Trace EVs: 4 Def / 252 Spe / 252 SpA - Moonblast* - Psychic / Psyshock - Focus Blast - Mystical Fire / Thunderbolt / Energy Ball / Shadow Ball / Etc. *Moonblast is only truly relevant for...
