Wolfey, you should take a closer look at spicy extract and it's synergy with foul play. If in doubles you have tailwind setup you can basically use spicy extract as a 4x helping hand for a foul play in doubles.

[@nuclearbirds]

Not to mention if you have a bulky physical attacker alongside scovillain that scovillain outspeeds, you can give your attacker a clear amulet and target your ally for a free swords Dance turn 1 and get major damage.

[@harryf9885]

@@nuclearbirds definitely! in that way its like using swagger with persim berry except better because you can use it mulitiple times and afterwards you still have one of the better items in the format instead of no item. This makes it more comparable to swagger with Tapu-Fini but a bit worse because scovillain is worse and it requires clear amulet. However despite that it is sufficiently different from Fini that there are some teams where I think it would be a better choice. Like teams that want to use a different terrain, have foul play users or want to leverage its unique typing and surprise factor.

Quick correction about Double Shock. You can use it while Terastalized, and it does not take away your Tera Type. This means if you Terastalize your Pawmot, you will be able to repeatedly use your Tera-DoubleSTAB Double Shock repeatedly, with no downgrade, making it a Close Combat level move with no drawbacks.

So a couple of things you didn't mention about Terra Blast compared to Hidden Power: Tera Blast can be Fairy-Type, Hidden Power Cannot. Tera Blast uses the higher of the Atk or Sp.Atk stat (potentially changes category to physical) - hidden power is purely Special-based. Even if it doesn't change category, this is HUGE as it gives physical attackers a coverage move that previously only special attackers enjoyed. Order up: it CAN still be used without a tatsugiri, it just lacks a secondary effect.

You missed one important detail about Gigaton Hammer. You said that you can get around the next turn issue with Protect. However, Gigaton Hammer’s only drawback is that you cannot use it twice in a row-not that you can’t use any OTHER attack on the next turn. There’s no need to Protect on the next turn if you have other effective attacking moves, which Tinkaton does (Foul Play, Brick Break, Play Rough, etc)

[@soramercury7074]

I thought the same way, but i ended up using protect most of the time. So far i only played doubles online and given how bad that 75 base atk is, i mostly got the impression, that it's not worth it to use other offensive attacks that often. Especially when you take 10% hp every time because of life orb. I do use fakeout and knockoff for it's utillity quite often though. but rather than having play rough, which can even miss, i use protect to attack with tyranitar's/garchomp's earthquake instead, or use thunder wave/helping hand for more great support.

[@taquaywhite4503]

Tinkaton has a relatively subpar attack stat, so I assume wolfey is just saying you’re better off using protect to not take damage before you can use gigaton hammer. I’m not that far in the video yet so if that wasn’t what he meant then this comment doesn’t matter

No details were missed, if you can use protect, you can use other moves too, but just... why would you. Only feasible reason would be to psyche out your opponent 4D chess style if you think he's going to use your protect turn to switch, heal, or setup.

Population Bomb is actually the *second* attack that can hit more than 5 times. Beat Up hits 6 times with a full team.

[@Princess_Narii]

Pop Bomb will trigger an 90 acc check with every strike Pair it with a wide lens and its a 99 acc check. That means that the move hits most of the time either 9 or 10 times Beat up in competative is a 4v4 and only hits 4 times Also beat up only has a 10 BP move and uses the typing of the mons in your party. Meaning that it doesnt get darktype stab from the mons in your party that arent dark. And it uses their attack stat so support pokemon and special attackers hit abysmally low with beat up. thats why beat up is used more often to trigger allies rattled or weakness policy and other abilities Rather then used offensively. cuss its just very shitty damage output Edit: OP is right tho its the 2nd move that can hit more then 5x. i miss interpreted the comment.

Fun fact about population bomb: If your moushold has the specific ability techniciann it boosts the power of any attack by 50% if its power is below a certain amount making population bomb actually go up into the range or 30-300 instead. While its still inconsistent since it can hit way more times than normal multi hit moves theres a lower chance of getting a low roll and even then it reaches decent power even in those low rolls if you do the math. Anything 3 hits and above is what you should hope for in the very least at hitting 3 times would mean 90 power bare minimum and since you definitely dont want 60 power or 30 youll get good rolls 8/10 most of the time since the 2/10 are 1 and 2 rolls which you DEFINITELY dont want the higher rolls are more likely with only a 20% chance of being a bad roll

Grafaiai pairing up with Slaking potentially makes Doodle S tier imo. Nothing scarier than a non-truant Slaking, and without needing the 200 move setup it usually needs to accomplish that makes it an amazing potential combo for the double battle meta. Edit: This seems to have gotten some traction. A double protect first turn protects Grafaiai from Fakeout, and Slaking from being double targeted. Or, yknow, teach Slaking Fake Out as well.

Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grass is usually pigmented with the colour ‘green’. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass", of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut. Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion). Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.Lawn grass is often planted on sports fields and in the area around a building. Sometimes chemicals and water is used to help lawns to grow. People have used grasses for a long time. People eat parts of grasses. Corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and millet are cereals, common grains whose seeds are used for food and to make alcohol such as beer. Sugar comes from sugar cane, which is also a plant in the grass family. People have grown grasses as food for farm animals for about 4,000 years. People use bamboo to build houses, fences, furniture and other things. Grass plants can also be used as fuel, to cover roofs, and to weave baskets. n English, the word "grass" appears in several phrases. For example: "The grass is always greener on the other side" means "people are never happy with what they have and want something else." "Don't let the grass grow under your feet" means "Do something". "A snake in the grass" is about a person that will not be honest and will trick others. Grass is sometimes used as a slang term for cannabis (also called pot, weed, or marijuana) The Grass type (Japanese: くさタイプ Grass type) is one of the eighteen types. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Grass-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed. Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed Starting in Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are immune to powder and spore moves and Effect Spore.Grass types are tied with Rock in having the most weaknesses out of all types with five. Since Generation I, a particular asset of Grass types is being the only type that is immune to Leech Seed. As of Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to powder and spore moves, such as Sleep Powder and Stun Spore. Additionally, Grass Pokémon are the only ones affected by Rototiller and Flower Shield. Those moves raise both attack stats or the physical Defense stat, respectively, when used. Forest's Curse adds the Grass type to the target's types. Grass-type attacks are resisted by seven types, so they're tied with Bug as the most resisted type. Those resistant types are best covered by Rock and Ground. As of Generation VI, Dark and Ghost have neutral matchups against every type that resists Grass. When Grassy Terrain is in the effect, the power of Grass-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) if the user is on the ground. Contest properties In contests, Grass-type moves are typically Clever moves, but can also be any of the other four contest conditions. As of Generation VIII, there are 112 Grass-type Pokémon or 12.27% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Grass-type in at least one of their forms), making it the third most common type after Normal and before Flying. A Pokémon with Protean or Libero will become a Grass-type Pokémon if it uses a Grass-type move. A Pokémon with Color Change, Imposter, Mimicry, RKS System, or Multitype will become a Grass-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with a Grass-type move, is sent out against a Grass-type opponent, if the terrain is grassy, if it is holding a Grass Memory, or if it is holding a Meadow Plate or Grassium Z. Since Generation VI, Grass-type Pokémon are also immune to Effect Spore; Only Grass-type Pokémon can have these Abilities. This does not include signature Abilities.Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Grass generally adopts all Bug-type Pokémon under its typing. It also adopted Poison-type Pokémon prior to the Diamond & Pearl set, after which they were moved to Psychic. Similar to the games, Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fire and resist Water. Grass-type Pokémon are strong against Fighting and Water Pokémon, whilst Metal Pokémon resisted it until the EX Power Keepers expansion set. Generation V introduced the most Grass-type Pokémon of any generation, with 21 (including Rotom's Mow form), and Generation VI introduced the fewest Grass-type Pokémon, with nine. Generation I introduced the most Grass-type moves of any generation, with 10, and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three. The Grass type and/or Pokémon of the type have been referred to using the term "plant" instead on some occasions: In the English Generation I games, the Gym guide in Cerulean Gym refers to Pokémon of the Grass type as "plant Pokémon". In the English versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, he instead mentions "Grass-type Pokémon". In the Japanese versions of the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen, he mentions the Grass type itself, calling it the "Plant type" (Japanese: しょくぶつタイプ). Another reference to "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) is made by Professor Oak in the Japanese Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, and international Pokémon Red and Blue, classifying Bulbasaur as such when the player is about to choose it as their starter. This is also the case in the Japanese versions of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen; in contrast, he calls it the "grass Pokémon" in the English versions. This same reference is also used in the first episode of Pokémon Origins. In multiple languages, such as French and German, the Grass type is translated as the Plant type. The Turkish dub of the anime occasionally refers to "Grass type" as "Plant type". The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stones, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the Leaf Stone, Sun Stone, Water Stone, and Shiny Stone.The Grass type is the only type to have more than one HP-draining move, having five of them. Grass-type attacks deal doubly super-effective damage to the most Pokémon of all types. Grass-type attacks are super effective against the three types that Fire types are weak to. Fire is the only type that hasn't been paired with Grass. In Tree's a Crowd, Brock states that Grass-type Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass types are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage. Now that you have read this much about grass, maybe you should go and touch some...
