[@grunkleg.2934]

A couple cool buffs that were left unmentioned - Infernape gets Knock Off, Drain Pumch, and Aura Sphere - My son Dragalge gets both Scald and Flip Turn back - Brambleghast, Ceruledge, Banette, and Houndstone now learn Poltergeist (not Basculegion though) - Kantonian Ninetales gets Healing Wish - Forretress finally gets a good Bug STAB in Lunge - Iron Valiant and Gardevoir both learn Vacuum Wave - Lurantis is finally able to learn Superpower thanks to the inclusion of Torterra - Revavroom gets High Horsepower, which I mean it's an engine so why wouldn't it - Cacturne finally gets another usable Dark STAB in Knock Off - Shiftry got Early Bird replaced with Wind Rider, and it learns both Toxic Spikes and Will-O-Wisp - Actually a lot of things get Knock Off for the first time: Poliwrath, Quaquaval, Pawmot, Lokix, Toxicroak, Leavanny, Trevenant, etc. - Darkrai can at least use Will-O-Wisp now (Dark Void is still garbage)

[@eliashornwall8546]

The fall of Tyranitar is especially tragic, since it isn’t even Tyranitar’s fault. Pursuit was sniped from the game, and Excadril isn’t in the game, Dracozolt isn’t in the game, and Last Respects was banned, so Houndstone doesn’t have a reason to exist. It wasn’t just powercrept, but was actively nerfed by taking away its moves, and the regional dex.

[@Princecharisma111]

Poltergeist

[@jimtsap04]

Houndstone got poltergeist, ttar got knock off, good sand immune mons like clefable jirachi gliscor kommo o and mandibuzz are back, and ogerpon has a rock form too, also sand is a good counter to other weather especially snow switching in to deny aurora veil, easily tank a moonblast and ohko back with stone miss, sand finally has some identity again, maybe not ou defining but could be a cool niche choice to catch the opponent off guard

[@ispeakcockney]

Tyranitar wil rise in OU again to counter snow because it is easier to fit in many teams compared to Pelipper and Torkoal

[@gunsandroses896]

​@ispeakcockney but now both Ninetales are in the game. Which Kanto Ninetales is a pretty good Sun Setter as far as I know

[@TayoAAdetola]

Empoleon also got vacuum wave and still has knock off plus gliscor lost roost but gained toxic spikes as well as crab hammer.

[@TheRealGigachad1848]

[@MaxBurnHeart]

Yes, Empoleon buff was enormous. I still liked defiant, because it could punish more with knock off and flip turn. Still, roost is an enormous buff. It's the stuff I have been dreaming of since gen 4. When Empoleon got that move in Arceus, I wasn't expecting it to move here, yet here we are. I think it's gonna be OU or UUBL. Water/Steel is an incredible combo, and has an amazing stat spread. With Gliscor, I'm not convinced. Sure, Toxic Heal is strong as ever, and double spikes are amazing. Oh, and Crabhammer is a fun option. However, Gliscor lost access not only to defog but also to roost. So being completely reliant on Toxic Heal is dangerous. It should still be OU mon, just not as incredible as people may think. Alomomola will be good. Wish with that huge health would be more valued, especially in a game with removed aromatherapy/heal bell. I can see people moving Baxcalibur to ubers. Not only it can break through teams, but now it will be able to setup at the same time. Just wow. It's interesting that Mandibuzz kept its most valuable options, including toxic. With how its competition was nerfed, Mandibuzz could be the new stall queen. Still, I can see it being in UU. Other interesting things to note: Manaphy returns! It gets scald, flip turn, knock off and most importantly- tail glow. Good thing z-moves are not around anymore. Shiftry replaced early bird with wind rider. It's gonna be interesting how it'll perform in VGC. Will it replace Brambleghast, I wonder? Scizor gets bug bite and knock off back. Which is neat. Vaporeon gets scald and flip turn. Ugh. It's gonna be a menance if it's gonna play calm mind set. Torterra got a lot of new moves, including shell smash. It could be a great late-game sweeper. Infernape also got fun moves, like drain punch or knock off. Lokix gets knock off. This Pokemon's moveset is basically perfect now. Roaring Moon gets knock off. As if it needed that buff. Interesting changes overall. I'm just glad Toxapex didn't get back knock off or scald. Still, my Sandslash boi needs more love. Sharpness was right there, but it looks like it's not gonna happen. :/

[@horodoomwolf]

Weavile also got Knock Off back and instead of Triple Axel, it has Icicle Spear now. It may go crazy with loaded dice but just like SD Baxcalibur, it loses its protection for rocks. We might see Weavile taking back the spot he lost against Chien Pao.

[@andrewwojtas8486]

Gliscor also got crab hammer which is definitely nice on it's tera water set, I feel like we're heading to that phase where literally everything is viable in ou

[@Max-qw8eq]

Good because I hate vs’ing the same thing all the time, it’s boring as sh*t

[@andrewwojtas8486]

@Max-qw8eq side note they gave both it and gligar a sitting animation, I lost my shit when I saw it in game because they never really had them sit at any point in the series

[@salamandersoup1159]

Yeah I saw Crabhammer when I transferred one from Arceus, I thought it was one of those moves that it always had but no one used it because it was unviable/had to breed onto it. Didn't realize it was a new move. That's cool. Can't wait to see how people use this or if it's viable at all

Empoleon is my favorite pokemon of all time in competitive, and it was thr cornerstone of my main UU team in gen 5. Getting roost and competitive is insane. It's like everything it could ever want.

[@RadicalJawzFunnyMoments]

Do you think iron chugulis will be ou viable with its access to a mega kick with its new hidden ability compound eyes?

[@boltskyline2957]

shut up

[@disasterarchfiend9638]

I think with Houndstone getting Poltergeist, Ttar may see play for enabling that, and jt does matchup pretty well vs Glowking. One piece of food for thought.

[@jimothycool]

So true.

[@Dmangames-gg3cl]

Another thing that imo seemed big was Shiftry getting the ability Wind Rider(former signature ability of Bramblin and Brambleghast) which makes it immune to wind moves, increasing its attack when hit by one. This also works when it uses tailwind giving it increased attack and speed. I've messed around with it but I have yet to find an amazing build for it.

[@kingspheal363]

I'm so glad Empoleons defiant changed to Competitive, shows that other pokemon could get more fitting abilities to replace older ones

[@wesselvandorsten]

Ogerpon seems completely cooked, that thing shits out damage. Also the new Ursaluna form is a threat and a half, don't sleep on it!

[@kyouhei7731]

You forgot Shiftry. It has wind rider now

[@Rustyboat94]

Also, Shiftry can make better use of it in singles since it can set up its own Tailwind, unlike Brambleghast.

[@MikeyTheCartoon]

The Gen 4 starters got buffed this time around. Empoleon got a more suited Ability, Infernape got Drain Punch to go with its Iron Fist ability, and Torterra got moves like Shell Smash and Rock Blast. As a Sinnoh Fan I’m glad to see this.

[@e-duh3529]

One cool thing about Emp is it kinda just sits on walking wake's face

[@dextersynesterformerlysorb5334]

If you wanna play set up I guess this is an offensive upgrade for empoleon, but I see it as entirely defensive. EV/IV spread around HP Def and Spdef depending on what you need, Roost + Roar (which you didnt mention but is absolutely game changing) then 1 phys 1 spec attacking options. The ideal tank.

[@dextersynesterformerlysorb5334]

Not to mention that set combined with trick room is lethal

[@boomprower]

For empoleon I'll still run flash cannon over grass knot probably because all these fairy and ice types running around also it has a 10% chance to lower special defense

[@miked5163]

Trailblaze Weavile also gives it a decent check against defensive Terra water

[@smarkwick7814]

[@goGothitaLOL]

They’re changing abilities, maybe Meganium, Electivire, Magmortar in NU if not RU may not be too far off

[@pattycake520]

Rather than changing Meganium's ability, they should buff Leaf Guard for all Pokemon. In addition to status immunity, take 2/3 damage from Fire attacks (mathematically canceling the boost Fire attacks get in sunlight.) Meganium should also get a move like Aurora Veil, but for sunlight, and Pollen Puff.

[@AevitosTrath]

I think it's nice that Infernape Now has access to raging fury, fire type outrage.

[@grassygrass1798]

Shiftry gets the ability Wind Rider which is very exciting

[@connorbosley4431]

One thing people have missed is torterra getting shell smash, with one shell smash torterra can outspeed a non boosted dragapult

[@jimtsap04]

Yeah but it's torterra a single ice move and it's deleted and with lowered defenses even fire and flying especially since you likely are not invested in defense much if at all, plus it's base speed is still so low even after a shell smash most scarfers still outspeed it, though with tera like most sweepers it can make countering it harder and unpredictable

[@connorbosley4431]

@jimtsap04 it can tera to defeat the weakness. Because of it's slow speed it'll take a hit, then shell smash, and then hit back first.

[@josepharmstrong1788]

Mamoswine, a criminally underused Pokémon (especially after the Oblivious buff in the generation of Incineroar, which it PERFECTLY counters) is getting a physical defense buff in a generation where Ursaluna, Landerous, Great Tusk, and Kingambit.

[@sreenaths6829]

I wish he got Headlong Rush. Sounds like a move that's made for him! Oh well, EQ still gets the job done IG.

[@davizera8958]

Yo didn't torterra get Shell Smash and Headlong Rush? I think that is pretty sexy.

Gliscor with the Toxic Heal ability and with an item other than Toxic Orb is totally possible, since in this generation, the desire to Toxify EVERYTHING is in vogue. And with the Tera Grass or Fire, for example, it would be an excellent trap, an excellent bait and a mortal danger for many Pokemon who think they can just take on Gliscor carelessly, also, I'm happy for Goodra and Tyranitar, they got a boost and for other Pokemon too.

Probably not changed/added typings those are off the as well as stat spread overhauls (they just started doing Stat swaps for the first time, on one Mon by 5 points) Maybe Triage Meganium (with Calm Mind, Earth Power, Dazzling Gleam, Draining Kiss), Iron Fist Electivire (with Close Combat, Drain Punch, Bulk Up, and Knock Off) and Mega Launcher Magmortar (with Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse)

@goGothitaLOL Triage Megnium is never gonna happen. And Honestly I never liked it. It's strong but it doesn't match with its lore. In my own project, I gave it an ability that turns screen moves into switch moves and added Aurora Vail to its move set.
