I dont think theres rlly any problem with it, i just wanna see if it has room for improvement
Example better stat spreads/nature/items or replace a pokemon/….
Run disable on gengar
Not shadow ball
And use scarf vivillion
rlly
cybertron ran this set
Encore poli to
Not hypno
i just distributed the stat spreads in my own way
the moves and stuff are from cybertron
U will hate missing in BO1
Hypnosis is there as a last resort
I never wanna use it
Yeah but encore disable is very powerful
When im certain ill lose, ill have a 60% chance to bring me back into the game
I mean
Poli is kinda slow for encore to be useful
Gengar kinda needs to be there with disable
Also, i want to ensure my vivi lives at least 2 hits so…imo focus sash is better
Idk, thats just my opinion
Idk if im right or wrong
Yeah but sand I going very popular
Is kinda strange sash in vivi
U can use a fast sleep powder and fake out
Vivi learns fake out?
Inci
Like a lead
Inci vivi lead?
Never heard of that b4
U then parting and sleep the other guy
Works ig
Yeah i get the idea
I might try that
Yeah I have blaistoise inci flashbacks
Parting the first Mon that u made asleep
Ik ik
Encore disable is like gengar poli
Potential perish and u make protect and encore
And then u disable with gengar that he is pretty fast
Yeah but like
I still dont get what encore does under very specific situations
What if u encore a fake out
Ur encore fails?
Or sth
If you encore fake out then they are locked into fake out
But doesnt fake out only work when the user just switched in
Shouldnt it fail or something
Yes, when they are encored into it, Fake out is unable to be used and then they are forced into struggle
Ohhh i see
Thx
I also run perish rain so I think I could help just gimme a bit since I’m a little busy at the moment
