it's a bit more niche than all this stuff but stakeout is a really overpowered ability similar to tinted lens (it does double damage to switch ins if you forgot). there aren't any "good" mons with it thankfully, but i managed to build a gen 9 ou team with adamant banded mabostiff to support gambit by nuking dark resists. great tusk takes over 40% from crunch which is obviously obscene, and easily drops to any coverage

Hex would indeed do double damage against Komala - if its typing didn't block Hex from even landing!

So I’m hearing that Explosion “cuts” the enemy’s defense and not “ignores.” If the enemy survives an explosion, will they have half defense while they’re out until they swap out or something?

Always crit move into anger point is my personal favourite variant of this strategy

Fighting needed a move as useful as freeze dry. And to not delete sky uppercut. I quite loved that move on Blaziken

They really should add more dual-type moves, it's such a neat concept with a ton of design space. Of course by definition they're not gonna be super impressive coverage-wise since they won't fill any holes the two component types fail to hit normally, but it's still something that I'm surprised hasn't been done more for purely flavor reasons.

I once used Weakness Policy Corviknight against my friend to great extent, especially since i was using a bulk up power trip set.

IS THAT HATSUNE MIKU I SEE IN THE THUMBNAIL????

Guzzlord will always have a special place in my heart because it was the first Pokemon I never took off of my team after catching it on my first playthrough. I genuinely hope that it gets rebalanced, given that GameFreak actually changes stat spreads now

never forget my favorite version of this with palosand and water shuriken accelgor. only thing it was missing was speed swap lol

Maybe I gotta start using moltres... when i get better IVs for it 💀

Also castform

Its stats rlly are Nothing but fast

Hey what? Komala's so cool, I love that he can't get paralyzed! He would be scarier if he was faster...

i know a guy who plays national dex who runs komala with banded sleep talk last resort. terrifying

Meloletta should be able to change forms with a item of something instead of mid match

I love your style

Flying press feels like the rough draft of freeze dry

I remember when with my Clodsire in showdown kill a Buff Lugia in 3 attacks

You get a Plusle in Pokemon Colloseum pretty early, Minun is transfer only. Yeah it's a cruel joke, Plus and Minus may aswell be unused content.

I was expecting tornadus and urshifu kissing 🤔

Comatose slaking when

Counterpoint: Silvally is a Good Boy and I want to headpat it

Ursaluna BM is considered better, hyper voice & earth power are better coverage then EQ, cresselia's healing is nice but in VGC games are a little bit too fast for it to be worth it. cresslia just dosent have the tools to make use of it's incredible bulk, having fake out or follow me would make it absurdly op, which is probably why it dosent have them. BM ursa has a more reliable spread move in hyper voice that dosent hit your partner, and earth power is more spammble then headlong rush because it has no drawback, the additional flexibilty of being able to use different items like throat spray/life orb also help. BM ursa is also immune to intimidate which is great when incineroar is running around. and mind's eye is great for hitting tera ghost mons and fluttermane.

3:00 for a second I thought that lightbulb picture depicted something darker

Plusle and Minun needs to have a signature ability rework to be closer to Tasugiri and Dondozo. A combination ability alonside a huge BST boost and they could be VGC contenders. Minun could be a bulky follow me user, while Plusle could be a fast focus sash sweeper. Plusle and Minun should always be doubles staples, they are the original doubles gimmick and they need the love.

2:55 the reason it counts for beat up is because komala is only asleep when the ability activates, and the ability isn't active when it is in the party.

I think a good rework for Plus and Minus would be to make them buff their ally regardless of if the other is on the field but then either double the buff or add an extra buff if both are on the field. Like: Plus, Boosts SpAtk of ally by 1.5×, doubles if ally has Minus. And maybe give Minus a defensive buff where is gives an evolite boost if Plus in also on the field or something. Both giving a specs boost is cool tho. It just sucks that it only functions with the other on the field

I'm convinced Comatose was a test dummy for Good as Gold

Arceus-Steel(Arceus-Flying)

Somewhat off topic, but friendly reminder for Main-Series-Only players who haven't thought about GO in a while: If you want a Melmetal for competitive use, NOW is the time to farm for it! GO's 8th anniversary event is running right now with Shiny Meltan being available for a few more days. After (i think) the 4th, you won't be able to make it shine for a while! Shiny Melmetal obtained legitimately is one of the biggest flexes you can have in competitive, I think 😎

but electircwindgirlfeirned flying press isn't hawlucha's signature move pikachu libre also learns it

Okay that's cool and all but: Sleep Talk Last Resort Choice Band Komala. I'm not saying it doesn't get walled, I'm saying it's funny.

Lets give Slaking Comatose as its hidden ability

Wishiwashi could be cool if 1hp form has like 150 speed and can command dondozo

2:00 wait, hex is ghost type, how does it damage Komala?

My favorite tech with komala has to be the banded sleep talk last resort and its only those two moves

if i get to see my baby Komala mentioned i am a happy boy, even if theyre bad

You should do a video about Mamoswine, I think it’s recent buffs to the move pool would make a fun one

Damn I commented twice, but Booster Energy Mons are also busted lmao, they can just switch in and win

Gimmicks are fun. You see stuff like Truant from good old Slaking. One of the pokemon mystery dungeon games had the thing set up yawn status Gotta wonder how much that would affect competitive...

1700's player to prove how much I play randbats, the ONLY time I ever got a Last Respects mon was a Scarf Houndstone. Idr exactly, but I remember I was getting swept from a Pokemon I couldn't stop on turn 1. For some reason, he switched out even though he could have one shot my last mon (Houndstone). He then let me delete the rest of his team until he revealed his last Pokemon, a fucking normal type He almost swept me, gave me a sliver of hope, only to say "Fuck You, Bitch" and Break my Spirit (Excuse my Language)

comatose is such a good ability, give it to snorlax

Thank you for reminding me to do my daily click!

Interestingly Komala can use snore just normally thanks to a the ability. Give it a scarf and could actually start flinching things

when you think about it really hard, wishiwashi is like dusknoir 2

Entrainment Minus/Plus is a legitimate combo, the only problem is that its stuck on Minun. It turns a liability Ability into a viable power up to allies with otherwise meh abilities and nerfs opponents who rely on their abilities, which is happening more and more these days. If Minun had good stats, (and maybe one other good Plus/Minus mon existed and wasn't ground weak to carry momentum) it would absolutely see use IMO, as entrainment Minus is multifunctional, and it has a good support movepool otherwise.

There's also Zen mode, which kinda failed... The regional variant kinda succeeded, outside of the mon simply having a nearly always superior ability option.
