[@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions]

​@@ItsDaNewGuy ...Im not sure what you're trying to say... One of the many reasons why Zamazenta is dominating VGC (and why Zacian fell hard) this regulation is that Body Press isn't affected by Intimidate and thus is a physical attacking legendary that doesn't need the Clear Amulet item.

[@ItsDaNewGuy]

@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions Body Press doesn't attack by using the defense stat. It makes the attack stat have the same values as the defense stat. So defense boosts will increase the defense stat, thus raising the attack stat as well for only Body Press. Then, when you get intimidated, the attack stat gets lowered. The reason it acts like it isn't affected by Intimidate is because the defense stats are so high that it deals more damage even after getting hit with an attack lowering.

17:05 - Fun Fact: Clagorous Soul is considered a Dance move... Not a lot of people are aware of this giving it a great surprise factor on top of an additional Omni Boost to an Oricorio, whether it be from a Teammate or Opponent Kommo-o.

[@determineddaaf3]

Interesting, I always found Dancer an interesting ability too.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

@@determineddaaf3 it can be downright broken even in OU, if the opponent doesn't go for Taunts or Fake Outs turn 1 (which can be countered) you basically sweep the entire match. Since Oricorio can also learn Tailwind, a Turn 1 Quiver Dance from a Volcarona or Lilligant and Tailwind from Oricorio you'll be outspeeding even most Swift Swimmers. Run Firey Dance on Volcarona for the chance to raise SpAtk more or Petal Dance on Lilligant for large base damage (run Own Tempo to never be confused) and it allows Oricorio to attack twice in one turn. As well Oricorio's Revelation Dance acts like a better Tera Blast, the move's typing it decided by the user's Primary Typing so on base it'll have one of the 4 Oricorio Form's Type (Psychic, Fire, Electric, and imo the best Ghost) but then if you Tera the Oricorio its Rev-Dance will become its Tera Type. Have Ghost Oricorio to ignore Fake Outs, then Tera Ground when the opponent sends in an Electric Type suddenly having their attack nullified and hit with a 90 base power stab +1 special ground move...

@@determineddaaf3 welp... I had a whole detailed comment typed out but now it's gone. 😑 I ain't typing all that again so, Oricorio can be busted even in OU.

[@adamtheriault6743]

About coil What makes the accuracy boost huge is when you realize that physical attacks actually have tendencies to miss a lot more often than special attacks Plus, if a move has 75 accuracy and above, one accuracy boost makes them 100 Garchomp, using hone claws, gets to incite ptsd in other players by spamming dragon rushes that cant miss, alongside stone edges and namely iron tails that all cant miss, and in alola, pairing that with a darknium Z turned hone claws into an accuracy boosting swords dance Took me a while to understand how awesome hone claws/coil is, and im pushing for wider distribution for it as a result Just think about moves that have less accuracy to balance their power, and how one accuracy boost can impact that

FSG missed 2 things when speaking on Geomancy. First was XY fullpass who would pack 5 support pokemon including 2 memento users, usually whimsicott + cottonee just to set up Geomancy bp smeargle into espeon giving it a 560 bp stored power through moody accumulations and geomancy. Second thing they missed about Geomancy is Z Geomancy Xerneas, who was a screens HO exclusive in SM, but Z Geomancy gave you an omniboost + geomancy, so you became basically unkillable paired with ingrain and rest. The only way to beat this mon was unaware, since phasing couldnt beat it and +6 moonblast would 2hko even full spdef Ho Oh

[@skeetermania3202]

Could Toxapex Haze?

[@1peidu]

@@skeetermania3202 pex is generally a more restricting mon to put on teams in Gen 7 Ubers, but it works in theory. The problem is that Z geo xern teams would often employ shadow taggers to remove Xerneas checks before it gets sent out, such as charm gothitelle and mega gengar to remove Necrozma Dusk Mane. These would often be useful in removing toxapex as well before the xerneas went for the sweep, so in theory it works in practice you gotta run shed shell toxapex which is a massive waste of a pex.

[@1peidu]

@@skeetermania3202 idk why my reply disappeared but Pex is a harder mon to fit in Gen 7 Ubers mainly because it doesn't deal with the biggest threats in the tier as well as other pokemon, and also because you gotta run shed shell to not get giga pp stalled by gothitelle or mega gengar. In addition +2 thunder from standard non Z geo xerneas smashes it so you typically don't use it to check xerneas anyways.

[@pepepepegavillage4550]

Quiver Dance is truly a move of all time.

[@JulianimeIsAmazing]

Just a side note about the disrespect towards Coil, that accuracy boost is way more significant when you factor into Zygarde mostly running Dragon Tail for STAB, a move that has an extremely contentious 90% accuracy. The reality is that in this game, any move that doesn't have 100% accuracy may as well have 50%. The problem is that, while the player has more agency in running that risk with moves that have 50-85% accuracy, moves with 90-95% accuracy missing feel much more like the game is cheating the players rather than the players having gambled and lost. Especially when a lot of the time these 90-95% accurate moves don't even have real alternatives, like Play Rough, and even Rock Slide which has a pitifully low power. So it's worthwhile to have Coil boosting accuracy when a single miss could cost you your setup sweep. Especially if Zygarde is also running a surprise Iron Tail to specifically hit Fairy Types harder, the accuracy boost isn't negligible, it's probably the most useful stat to boost in the game and the problem is ways to boost accuracy aren't as widespread or reliable. I'd say Accuracy is even more important than Speed.

[@PT5-Shorts]

If it's not 100% accurate it's 50% accurate

[@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507]

Yea tell me how going up and punching something has 90% accuracy but the projectle moon throw has higer power and doesn't ever miss (and can't be intimidated)

[@kevinumana3582]

Let's not forget coil milotic landing more hypnosis and using muddy water to get more chances of dropping opponents accuracy

[@Psychomaniac14]

[@JulianimeIsAmazing]

@@kevinumana3582 True, Hypnosis Coil is a menace, with one Coil Milotic has an 80% accurate sleep move, remember prime Dark Void? With 2 Coils Milotic is just primed to sleep and sweep your entire team depending on the rules and if the team comp can afford a status absorber just to take the sleep in the first place, but it's not like Milotic is made of glass and paper either, so it could almost guarantee a minimum 2 for 1 trade if its checks/counters are taken care of.

the shell smash set i typically see with cloyster in showdown was smash, explosion, icicle spear, and rock blast with skill link (that's the real thing that puts cloyster over the edge with shell smash is the combo with skill link), but there's one other z move that's an extreme booster, but it's only available on a few mons: z-celebrate. it gives an omniboost and the thing i saw it on most in gen 7 randoms was malamar, since the omniboost ignores contrary and that sets up for a deadly sweep with one superpower essentially already done. unless the malamar was staring down the barrel of first impression or some other bug move from something faster, there's limited counterplay to it and it's a poor man's version of having to use a turn to set up any other extreme boosting move.

[@DaikoruArtwin]

There's a couple other moves that, when used with a Z-Crystal, would also become extreme boosting moves. The two examples I can think of on the spot: - Splash. Yep, that's not a joke. Z-Splash would actually increase the user's Attack stat by 3 stages! Although I fancied it for some meme movesets (e.g. physical Mantine), no Pokemon really made competitive use of it, given they either didn't have a good physical attack and movepool to begin with, already had access to good physical boosting moves, or didn't have the bulk required to successfully set-up for one turn. - Acupressure. On top of increasing a random stat by 2 stages, Z-Acupressure would also increase the user's critical hit ratio by 2 stages. On Drapion especially, this was pretty powerful because he had access to the Sniper ability and had an increased hit ratio move for both of his STABs, making him reach a 100% crit ratio for 2.25 times more damage. If you were lucky, you'd land on the Attack stat and deal 4.5 times more damage, or you'd land on the Speed stat and essentially have a double Dragon Dance.

[@Nameless_mixes]

Coil was good on VGC Milotic sets in some gens because it boosted its defense (when its special defense was its better stat). Combine that new bulk with more accurate Hypnosis (which we saw how devastating its boosted accuracy was in Gen 4), and it was a relatively solid pick.

This was the beggining of the eevee review we are long awaiting (maybe just me, but still xD)

[@Freakazoid529]

Imagine if Slither Wing got Victory Dance to complete it’s “physical Volcarona” game.

[@Deep-Sarcasm]

Gen 20: every mon gets a move that boosts +6 in all stats

[@adolfojuangarcia1906]

We need more accuracy boosting moves

[@HatsuneLuka]

Ik Batón Pass was banned in Gen VI and later, but I didn’t know it’s Evo Boost made it get banned in gen VII. I never used Z-Moves, so I didn’t realize people made whole teams around it, I mean Baton Pass teams have been a thing 5 decades now, but baton passing, and choosing a specific one depending on the opponents team is insane.

Growth in the sun also gives +2 to atk and Spatk. Could be used by Venusaur with chlorophyll and earthquake.

in gen 1 amnesia was basically a double calm mind.

I love Volcarona. I love my warm and fuzzy win con.

[@playersnake]

Perhaps the next theorem video could be why move sets (like mix attacking, fast physical, bulky special, etc) are close to everything or the Dragonite theorem

[@tacowednesdays]

What about a video of boosting abilities? Intrepid Sword, Moxie, Commander, etc.

[@FierceGalactaKnight]

My Poor Falinks, such a cool boosting move in No Retreat, such a shame it isn't good enough to use it very well.

[@richardchapman127]

Sharpness is the biggest threat with the right move

[@casualcraftman1599]

I love sweeping teams with a Quiver Dance Volcarona.

[@ExtremeSpeedMewtwo]

I’d argue Victory Dance would be better on Hisui Lilligant if it boosted accuracy instead of defence. Would probably make that mon so much scarier when combined with Hustle.

[@Naarukami]

I think the one thing we can learn from this video is that dancing is powerful and should not be underestimated.

[@alexanderdejesus4986]

rip No Retreat, was left off the list giving a +5 to the user with the downside of being unable to switch out. But as always another amazing video FSG.

[@bigmonke3348]

We need victory dance to be given to more mons. Mostly victini and slither wing. Makes sense for them the most
