@@Raddie-gv7fc not just for stall but bulky is a better way to put it lol cuz u can just run fur coat with offensive moves and use it to take hits / switch in when you otherwise coildnt since you still have strong moves outside of tech/skill link stuff And I’m sure ppl would say the same about Alolan Persian if they never had fur coat and someone decided to give it to them for a hack so

Your entire comment is looking at this from a competitive POV, not an ingame rom hack POV. You are horribly misguided. If you want to learn/hear what I have to say feel free. I have other vids explaining this. But the fundemental diff between ingame singles comp to PVP singles is where you are confused here, lol, and just not understanding a lot of basic stuff about the hack to begin with "Scrafty's presence as a bulky dark-type support mon is in contention from both Incineroar and Grimmsnarl." You're missing the ENTIRE point of this rom hack. Like, genuinely. I'm gonna type out a whole thing regardless cuz I can't stop myself but you should just look into the actual idea behind the hack and why it's balanced how it is. Incin, Grimm and Scrafty are completely diff now and ur comparison is speaking about them in like a comp/vgc perspective.. not an ingame one where I balance every mon to be able to switch between what it does and for you to keep 6 mons at a time and not team swpa and just use what mons you get/want and play thru the game multiple times. Idky I'm wasting my time explaining this cuz it's all in the basic/info vids I have, or in my discord. There's a balance between 1v6 sweeping AI and "gen 2 UU" the game... nobody said it's all stall. I just like being encouraged to switch out mons since setup sweeping is very broken in single player and so I tend to try to give out Moxie-eque abilities less often (I still use them, for the record, but when I have other alternatives I'll use them) Nobody said anything about making this game only have stall, or playing slowly. Those "answers to that problem" GF came up with are answers for pvp.. not single player. Setup vs AI is not comparable to setup in pvp. Literally night and day. AI is exploitable and doesn't hard switch, can't respond properly to setup sweeping, etc. I have other things in place like QC/sashes/prio in the back to negate it. Giving AI unaware mons is not the solution looool I have years and years and years of experience with this ingame stuff. It's not comparable to singles/comp/pvp in the slightest... The +10 speed boost makes its scarf speed tier better, and if you do choose to setup with speed it makes you faster after +1. Ingame speed tiers =/= comp speed tiers. Ingame speed tiers are prep-able for and every boss fight has diff mons it's not optimized, there is no "meta" you just prep for what the boss has. For context 68 speed with scarf can outspeed much, much more than 58 speed could. So you're objectively wrong there. "Reckless on a fighting type is severely overdone, it already exists on three different lines and is kinda bland for that reason. " 3 diff lines in vanilla. This is not vanilla. And this is a subjective opinnion. Moxie is also pretty common in vanilla, lol. Null point, moving on A neutral nature Scrafty with 20 speed ivs (locked at 20 for player eggs) with a Scarf is hitting base 103 with a +speed nature/perfect IVs (aka, what the AI would have) In comp, 103 speed is like, fine at best nowadays- this is NOT comp. Some bosses will have only one mon with 105+ speed, lol. You can def outspeed at least half fo a team (case by case, cuz again, this is ingame, boss teams are fixed and will vary greatly) with a scarf NEUTRAL scrafty, let alone if you got a lucky =speed nature, then you outspeed the majority of the game with Scarf. And you have buffed single use QC (with item clause intended) if you absolutely need to outspeed something faster and can't setup first or kill with prio. The "one poison move NATURALLY??" thing you're on about is also very silly- if you read the fine print and think about it for a sec, there is no reason to have TM overlap with levelups in a game with so many good moves. Sure, they COULD get gunk shot, or pjab by levelup, and acid reflux (new utility move) by levelup- but that makes no sense in terms of design since they already get access via TM... it'd just be wasted space, unless I wanted to give exclusive access to the move earlier than they get the TMS. Don't fixate on "natural" learnsets vs TMs. There are 200 TMs. Mons learnsets in this game use both. Don't overthink what is natural and what isn't lol Go and look at a list of poison moves on the doozdex (it's already sorted for you!!!) and find me moves that aren't already TMs that are worth giving. Maybe poison tail? Toxic if you wanna force it but like they have acid reflux already. There's not many, lol most of them are alrdy tms/I gave already to him. With Moxie you can just click DD or scarf once and get like 2-3 kills in a row. Reckless gives you raw damage without a kill first and can be used differnetly and is overall a more fun offensive ability for the playstyle I want to encourage in my game. If you want to brainlessly taunt the lead, stat debuff them, switch in and click DD 2 times for free vs stupid AI and win that's your choice but that's not how I'm balancing my hack. Sorry. Phasing/unaware/etc is bad for AI. They can't abuse it properly and dedicating a whole AI teamslot to a playstyle that I can discourage in faster paced ways like with sashes, buffed QC and prio on AI is more effective and better for the 90% of ppl that will play as intended and not try to just sweep shit brainlessly lol "There are plenty of better abilities than Reckless for Scrafty both for theme and function, examples including but not limited to No Guard (just Reckless but more thematic and makes Head Smash, Jump Kick, etc far more viable), Merciless (plays into both the thug and the poison lore, and gives a niche for toxic spikes teams to use it), and Opportunist (plays into Scrafty's design and cartoon goon theme)." You know nothing about this game. Jump Kick doesn't exist. Head Smash is 100% acc. There are a grand whopping total of only 25 inaccurate moves in this hack. I have all this info on the doozdex. No Guard is extremely niche as a result of moves being reworked to be accurate. The only moves he'd have for no guard are hjk/gunk. That's basically it. Not horrible but far less interesting than reckless boosting like 5+ moves. Opportunist is useless in this rom hack context. Not even gonna waste time explaining why Merciless is cool. Definitely not as good/easy to use as Reckless, and a bit less fitting, but I don't hate the idea. I gave it to Mandibuzz so there's an example of a non poison type with it and it's even cooler on them since they can play bulky and do baneful stuff or tspike stuff with offensive scarf. (on top of their 2 other abils ofc lol) "(though really then why not just buff Shed Skin, since most mons with it aren't very good anyway)." Can't. This is a gen 9 hack. Can't just magically code a new ability. Have to work with what already exists. This isn't gen 3 decomp.

Somehow Sakurai predicted this because Incineroar is dark type

@@ahmedali-ek2du thanks, I appreciate that i reccomend u check out other vids and check out the dex / my discord for sure 480-525 is completely fine for “””weaker earlygame mons””” if this is your first impression it would make sense u feel this way but if u see the BST thresh holds I use you’ll see I’m very consistent with it. Modt 3 stagers hit 550, some are semi pseudos 575 and new pseudos 600. Many 2 stagers are 525/535 occasionally 550 and up if I see it fits , single stagers are cass by case but if you’re new and see the 515 on smth like basculin it can seem high but it isn’t actually. BST is very arbitrary in this hack anyways. These guys would be just as great with 480 or 500 because the abilities and type and moves do all the heavy lifting . That’s how most mon changes work here. Check out the doozdex and you’ll see what I mean with the BST sfuff and general balancing And again the BST is arbitrary because even randkm 480 BST mons are still gonna be usable for the whole game by my own design same for even lots of NFEs with sub 480. Also white basculin def shouldn’t have the same stats considering 1. It’s much more timid and less aggressive which definitely makes sense to have lower attacking stats and 2. It can evolve (not a perfect argument since both qwilfish for example would have same BST but in this case the og basculin being extremely territorial/aggro makes sense for them to be stronger than the more timid scared counterpart, that also works balancing wise since thewhite stripe isn’t intended to be kept endgame while the og basculin are) I’m very strict with my BST rules and again, it’s all arbitrary cuz the mons r gonna be great regardless so usually I go based off of vibes or how I want them to feel not really a game changing thing to have 500 vs 515 when your abikities and moves are so good and are the main draw of using most Pokémon now

Appreciate it a lot thank u
