Bibarel isn't THAT bad if it has Moody. But of course Moody is banned. It's unfortunate that it has lackluster Attack tho. I mean, Normal-Water is a decent offensive type and Bibarel has two priorities in Quick Attack and Aqua Jet, and Swords Dance, and Simple, and Superpower for Steels and Crunch for Ghosts. Bibarel just needed, IDK, higher Attack and way more bulk, or way more speed, and then it would be considerably more threatening.

My Simple Bibarel was a champ in Radical Red, Skull Bash adding x2 attack and defense went hard, especially with a Power Herb. Add in Defense Curl and Rollout and it swept a ton of teams. Add in Waterfall for filler STAB and a lot of things struggled with it, especially after the boosts, it really only feared special attackers and high powered fighting types who threatened it turn one, who still don't enjoy a base power 130 move with STAB coming their way. I eventually replaced Defense Curl and Rollout for Return and Bulldoze as the ability to slow down Mons that switched in afterward was great, as 71 base speed isn't exactly zippy!

I remember that in STABmons Bibarel was a f**king monster, for those who don't know, STABmons was a special meta on Showdown! where you could use (almost) any move from the types that the mon gets STAB from, even pre-evolutions if they're typing was different. So for example a Water/Flying type could use almost any Water and Flying type attacks regardless of if it could actually learn them in-game (think Gyrados with Earthquake, Dragon Dance, Waterfall and Dragon's Ascent, this would be legal in STABmons). Simple Shell Smash with STAB Extreme Speed and Aqua Jet, +4 Attack, Special Attack and Speed with an attack that has +2 Priority, do I need to explain why this is terrifying? CHOICE SCARF DEOXSYS-S WAS OUTSPEED BY IT*, I know that's not an ideal item for it, but that's to give you an idea of how insane it was, (Bibarel has base 71 BTW, compared to Deoxsys-S's staggering base 180 Speed). *If it ran Jolly, Adamant would be outsped, this is with a plus-Speed nature and 252 EV's into Speed on Deoxsys Shell Smash was pretty nasty in that meta overall, the Eevelutions all got Shell Smash thanks to Eevee being a Normal type (Flareon was quite solid with Shell Smash, Flare Blitz and Extreme Speed iirc), Azumaril could also use it thanks to Azurill being a Normal type (not as powerful as BellyJet, but less risky). Kyreum-Black had Dragon Dance and good physical Ice STAB before gen 8. Some numbers for those curious about the unholy power that is Shell Smash Bibarel; 252EV's into Attack and Speed with +Attack Nature: Attack: 295->885 after Shell Smash Speed: 241->723 after Shell Smash 252EV's into Attack and Speed with +Speed Nature: Attack: 269->807 after Shell Smash Speed: 265->795 after Shell Smash Yes your Defense and Special Defense do get halved, but with 2 Priority attacks (Aqua Jet and Extreme Speed) on top of a speed stat now comparable to one of the fastest Pokémon around.

Bibarrel in a nutshell: "What is my purpose?" "You use HMs" "Oh my god"

To be fair, it gets STAB on Surf and Waterfall which are actually great water moves for special/physical respectively I think at the time Surf and Hydro Pump were toss-ups for the best special water moves, and Waterfall was the best physical water move, and Strength, which isn't the best, but still a pretty decent normal move.

[@DatMageDoe]

@@Aquilenne Even with STAB, Surf and Hydro Pump off a base 55 Sp Atk is pretty sad. As for Strength, it was OK In a pinch, but you'd only ever run it on an HM slave, because Return is just better, and using an HM slave in combat is a weird choice because they're usually very under leveled.

I ended up using 2 Bibarels on my Platinum team due to the HMs. I did not want to have any pokemon with 4 HMs at the moveset so I had 2 To buff Bibarel I would give it Super Fang and maybe some more "biting/fang" moves its teeth are a important part of its design afterall

Shoutout to Radical Red, which gave Bibarel a few solid buffs. Of the notable ones, access to a Skull Bash which boosted Attack as well, which meant Bibarel got 2 Bulk-Ups and a base 130 attack off in two turns. My favorite strat with this Bibarel is to come in on something, preferable something it can take a Special Attack from pretty well, set up Amnesia, and spam Skull Bash. If you're lucky, you get +6 Attack, +6 Defense, and +4 Sp. Def, and then try a sweep. Requires a lot of team support, but it's super fun.
