ironpanther-10

and slight movepool adjustment

@ironpanther-10 and slight movepool adjustment
happycandle-57 OP

For who?

ironpanther-10

gyarados, kingambit sinistcha

@ironpanther-10 gyarados, kingambit sinistcha
happycandle-57 OP

What would you change

ironpanther-10

gambit often uses no protect in high level of play and instead use chople berry low kick

ironpanther-10

you can stay on protect black glasses, but personally I thin low kick is important

@ironpanther-10 you can stay on protect black glasses, but personally I thin low kick is important
happycandle-57 OP

Protect is here so you can double protect next to blaziken to get the speed boost up. Some bascs are eving to live non-glasses sucker punch and I find the basc check very important

happycandle-57 OP
  • chicken covers fighting weaknesses well enough
ironpanther-10

gyarados you COULD actually use it as a second mega with dragon dance
i do like power whip on it and i do see your vision with waterfall thunderwave, but you usually want protect on gyarados
maybe getting rid of taunt

ironpanther-10

or twave

happycandle-57 OP

I think I prefer ditching twave just so we have the tr counter

ironpanther-10

ye

ironpanther-10

tailwind might be enough speed control

ironpanther-10

and speed boost actually

ironpanther-10

and sinistcha is the opposite

@ironpanther-10 and sinistcha is the opposite
happycandle-57 OP

Wdym

ironpanther-10

they usually dont run protect and prefer using shadowball, life dew or strength sap

@ironpanther-10 they usually dont run protect and prefer using shadowball, life dew or strength sap
happycandle-57 OP

Again, protect is really needed here

ironpanther-10

mmmh

ironpanther-10

im really not so sure if protect is the correct move here
i cant even find data of anybody using protect on sinistcha

ironpanther-10

i would need to see how often protect puts you in a better position on sinistcha

Genuinely not enough support

ironpanther-10

i think 3 support pokemon are actually a bit too many

ironpanther-10

usually you run 1-2 support pokemon

happycandle-57 OP

I’m thinking drop gyara for 2nd mega

ironpanther-10

yea

happycandle-57 OP

Venu or dragonite are thoughts rn

ironpanther-10

think about that way
blaziken is weak to bascu, garchomp, swampert etc

you want a second mega that covers those weaknesses

ironpanther-10

m venusaur sounds decent, but keep in mind that they both share a psychic weakness

@ironpanther-10 m venusaur sounds decent, but keep in mind that they both share a psychic weakness
happycandle-57 OP

We have gambit for psychics

ironpanther-10

i know, i just want you to keep that in mind and cover them with gambit

happycandle-57 OP

Of course
