I love clawitzer too

His ability and move pool is awesome

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Ik

sunnyquiver-34 OP

ges a monster in doubles and singles

sunnyquiver-34 OP

with 75% heal pulse

fleetkernel-50

Yes lol . And learns all the pulses
I was surprised to see you running ice beam !

fleetkernel-50

I think I seen him use ice beam

sunnyquiver-34 OP

it was that or aura sphere

fleetkernel-50

Coverage ?

sunnyquiver-34 OP

yeah

sunnyquiver-34 OP

water pulse is strong enough stab

sunnyquiver-34 OP

90 BP and 30% confuse

fleetkernel-50

Fighting and ice does tend to hit what other things can’t haha

I was googling the most offensive typing the other day it’s apparently ground and ice
They can hit the most stuff super effective

fleetkernel-50

I’ve tried him a few times I swear he could work on a trick room team

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Yeah is pretty slow

sunnyquiver-34 OP

and insane bulk

sunnyquiver-34 OP

high spd, and good defense, with resist against glacial lance

sunnyquiver-34 OP

you cant ignore it either with 120 bp dark pulse and 127 bp dragon pulse

fleetkernel-50

Also that conversation you had with the player makes me think everyone loves that mon

fleetkernel-50

Awesome shiny too

sunnyquiver-34 OP

yeah its really cool

fleetkernel-50

I’ve tried scarf and iron ball in the past lol

sunnyquiver-34 OP

i checked a few formats on showdown, and he has 0% ussage, which is crazy. scraggy has more lol

fleetkernel-50

It is crazy the speed tier is awkward and Rillaboom

fleetkernel-50

He has potential to be a great single target nuke

sunnyquiver-34 OP

yeah true

fleetkernel-50

He needs a mega ev

sunnyquiver-34 OP

maybe with an indenee canceling priority, maybe?

fleetkernel-50

Would help ! I may try him again over concelduer later haha

sunnyquiver-34 OP

I might fit him on my scraggy team lol.

sunnyquiver-34 OP

dark pulse against shadow rider and lunala might be valuble

fleetkernel-50

My hatterne runs dark pulse now to hurt indeedees in the mirror match lol

fleetkernel-50

Will test it proper in 50 minutes when this tournament starts haha

sunnyquiver-34 OP

lol,

sunnyquiver-34 OP

im trying it on my scraggy team to replace incin

sunnyquiver-34 OP

3 fake outs and 2 intimidates is a bit repetitive

fleetkernel-50

Yeah! When I see that stuff I know I need to bring some defiant and terrain

Rilla is a mission resetting terrain

fleetkernel-50

Them battles are tedious swapping indeedee in and out

Trying to act first because if you’re responding you’re fkd lol

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Yeah lol

sunnyquiver-34 OP

the mind games can be crazy. Are they gonna fake out my calyrex or are they gonna knock off it?

sunnyquiver-34 OP

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublesubers-2552046365 I ran a match and its working really good

fleetkernel-50

Pretty cool he can just hit everything

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Sometimes i wish i had that ice beam lol

fleetkernel-50

https://tenor.com/view/mamoswine-rubbing-happy-gif-26960858

fleetkernel-50

I like this one too
I come second in a tournament with him once
He counters incin to well

fleetkernel-50

And Lando

sunnyquiver-34 OP

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublesubers-2552049738 it seems to have explosive power too

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Ive seen it used quite a bit

fleetkernel-50

Holy shit I was about to ask if it’ll ohko the bear

sunnyquiver-34 OP

I prefer him in singles tho, i dont like protecting or tera when I want to do earthquake

fleetkernel-50

I had him on my speed team and I was always clicking protect haha

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Yeah it has supprisingly high power, i expected it to do around 70%

fleetkernel-50

The bear is a issue for me in mirrors because I’d rather not even do TR if it’s a mirror but the bear out speeds all my mons

fleetkernel-50

Kinda wanted that awkward speed tier

fleetkernel-50

But with priority on it

fleetkernel-50

So it can clean up end game if tr finishes

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Ill need to test which moves it can tank

sunnyquiver-34 OP

it tanks normal blood mon, idk abuot items

fleetkernel-50

Yeah! I think I got to many memories of him being smashed . Some people know his a threat and sorta slow so they opt to delete him so he doesn’t delete them

fleetkernel-50

That’s pretty good

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Dragon tera seems to be best for it, getting to ohko miridon and koridon, and resiting both thunder from kyogre and grass moves

sunnyquiver-34 OP

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublesubers-2552054278 works really well here
