thoughts?
Physical Zucario, Terrain Pulse Clawitzer with no STAB and on a team with no terrain, and fast Pelipper. Not a huge fan, but I can be persuaded.
Yea its not quite done yet but its a start
What even is this
Fast pelipper is pretty standard
But not with sitrus
Sash?
Physical lucario Z is NOT the call especially if you’re not leaning into its ability
Yes
If u wanna use this lucario set just use base mega
It gets adaptability
Higher attack stat
And better bulk iirc
Clawitzer is also a bit weird the set looks like a scarf set but isn’t
And the terrain pulse
Depends but aura guard helps a lot
I used lucario Z in a tour last night
I leaned fully into its bulk and I got top 6
Tour was only 24 people but it’s something g
Rocky helmet garchomp is lowkey a singles type set and they almost always are support so it doesn’t really work here imo
I don’t hate swords dance but I think a lot of the really good pokemon give it a big target on its back so I don’t know if it lives to get one off
And tbh i may, i just needed a steel to finish a fairy/dragon/steel cor
Also no trick room with mega mawile is iffy
Tailwind isn’t doing enough
I dont really know why i picked that lol
Its kinda been working
I would have given it lorb but thats on my claw
Scarf might work better if you’re running quad offense
Clawitzer probably learns smth like u turn
Could put that over terrain pulse for pivoting
Maybe, its kinda acting as a second rain attacker
Flip Turn
…then why is there no Water Pulse?
Wouldnt weather ball get the boost off mega launcher?
Nm it doesnt
The chomp set definitely needs protec
Why are we using mawile without trick room
Yea
