Varoom having hidden ability slow start is so crazy to me. It’s made to nerf regigigas and they randomly decide to give it to the car Pokémon. It’s like how truant can only be gotten by Slaking and DURANT for some unknown reason

[@LearLover]

it's ability isn't slow start after evolving and slow start is a pun

[@LesbeansSplatoon]

@@LearLoverOhhhh that’s good at least. I got the pun but I was like ‘but why would anyone want it on their mon??’

at least Durant can learn Entrainment

[@liluziintrovert]

@@LearLover I understand that’s the joke behind it, but it’s still dumb. A lot of ability’s on some Pokémon are just stupid tho, like Grimer not having liquid ooze despite it being a literal pile of liquid ooze

Funny thing is vivillon is a flying type so it’s not touching the psychic terrain so ice shard would have worked anyway

It worked out too because that Abomasnow had Triage which boosted the priority of its giga drain and that would’ve gotten blocked 🤓🤓🤓

Murkrow actually does get prankster as a hidden ability and was a meta pick in vgc thanks to prankster tailwind

[@Bruh_idk69lul]

I thought so lol

[@thewanderingmistnull2451]

Prankster Haze was more important because of all the Iron Defenses going on

[@inteleonarmy1838]

Reason being they only use fully evolved pokemon, and honchkrow doesn’t get prankster

[@corebear09]

@@thewanderingmistnull2451 fair, but Haze is just a counter to defensive bulk and set up teams. Tailwind generally gets more usage in virtue of the fact not everyone is gonna greed and set up like that, especially in doubles where making a mistake is the end of you. Legit tho, my ol' Murkrow has Tailwind, Haze and Foul Play just because it was the most annoying set to go against outside of trick room shenanigans

There's an explanation on the screen when this happens. They evolve the Pokemon, Honchkrow doesn't have Prankster.

For those who don't know why leech life didn't affect the greninja. Prankster always goes first if the user uses a support move, but when the ability is used on a dark type, it doesn't affect it. So the leech life was a support move.

Leech life is an attacking move. Metronome IS the status move. So whatever he rolled, it would always fail.
