my favorite mon last season was scizor. Unfortunately, bith swampert and metagross fill that slot better now

Thank you!!

happycandle-57

Also, whats the purpose of fake out in singles?

rockyquartz-11 OP

I have been kinda using Scizor a lot less

happycandle-57

It feels like a waste of a slot

happycandle-57

As well as protect

sunnyquiver-34

but anyways, the team feel- wait this is a singles team? let me lock in

happycandle-57

Protect is only really good on stall mons

@sunnyquiver-34 but anyways, the team feel- wait this is a singles team? let me lock in
happycandle-57

Yeah its singles lmao

rockyquartz-11 OP

Haha 🤣

happycandle-57

So why fake out and protect over coverage

rockyquartz-11 OP

I mean I probably just took a List of Raichu Y thinking it was Singles. I can definitely change that

rockyquartz-11 OP

That was probably my bad then

@rockyquartz-11 I mean I probably just took a List of Raichu Y thinking it was Singles. I can definitely change that
happycandle-57

In my head neither move is great

happycandle-57

Just put coverage and volt switch

sunnyquiver-34

grass knot or disarming voice instead of protect on raichu, and for fake out put volt switch

rockyquartz-11 OP

Thank you!

rockyquartz-11 OP

I guess another thing is for Palafin should I have Life Orb instead of Mystic waters in a sense?

happycandle-57

While fake out is free chip, its not worth it unless it puts a relevant mon into zap cannon range every time

sunnyquiver-34

Yaichu is so strong its usually work a bit putting a bit into deffense to survive sucker from gambit, but they run supreme overlord so idk

rockyquartz-11 OP

I guess that also makes sense

@happycandle-57 While fake out *is* free chip, its not worth it unless it puts a relevant mon into zap cannon range…
rockyquartz-11 OP

It really didn't do much in most cases

sunnyquiver-34

mystic water is fine on palafin

rockyquartz-11 OP

For sure! I have been thinking of ice Punch instead of Close Combat

rockyquartz-11 OP

Also switching Scizor for Metagross a yes?

@rockyquartz-11 Also switching Scizor for Metagross a yes?
sunnyquiver-34

im reading the sheet and thinking lol

rockyquartz-11 OP

Appreciate you!

sunnyquiver-34

stamina means you want a slow, bulky arch set, so youd need max special attack insetead of speed, the ones that run max speed and special attack are the sturdy ones

sunnyquiver-34

decidye looks fine, im assuming its only 30 speed because it's calced to outspeed something

sunnyquiver-34

for singles, sizor might be better since it counters stall

sunnyquiver-34

just switch knock off for bug bite

sunnyquiver-34

and nothings wrong with peli

sunnyquiver-34

thats my opinion at least

@sunnyquiver-34 stamina means you want a slow, bulky arch set, so youd need max special attack insetead of speed, t…
rockyquartz-11 OP

Ok so High Special instead of outspeeding something is probably better?
