Okay, Alolan Muk was already fairly great. Now I realize the extent of what he can do. Also Dancer is fairly amazing in its own right.

Hell, even Aqua Step and Clangorous Soul works with Dancer for Arceus knows why. I might have a new favorite battle partner for doubles in Scarlet, people wont expect this mess. Oh man, could you imagine if Espathra with Opportunist got any Dancing moves? Hear me out. Imagine if Espathra got something like Quiver Dance, Muk already has Dancer so it gets the effect, and Espathra gets a second buff? Like a pseudo Geomancy.

[@svierrodcuppycake3655]

Alolan Muk's ability is Power Of Alchemy, which copies it's partner's ability when its partner faints. Oricorio's ability is Dancer, which copies the effects of most moves with "dance" in the name, without using up its turn. So a Dancer Pokemon would see its partner use Dragon Dance, or Quiver Dance, or something like that, and then immediately use the move too, but then still do its selected attack later in the normal turn order. Oricorio would normally do this, and Muk's Power Of Alchemy allows it to copy that ability when Oricorio is knocked outl.

[@reesecarlton]

Alolan Muk has the ability Power of Alchemy, which replaces itself with the ability of Muk's next ally that faints (naturally, this is only applicable in double battles). Its ally, Oricorio's ability is Dancer, which allows for it to use the same move that its ally does, should its ally use a "dance" move (again, exclusive to double battles). The resulting strategy is for Oricorio to go in as a suicide lead, letting A-Muk gain the Dancer ability through its native Power of Alchemy ability. From there, it can copy things like Dragonite's Dragon Dance or Comfey's Petal Dance. Hoped this helped, but I can still answer further questions :)

[@primordialsun]

An additional note is that the Dance move can be copied if the opponent uses one, as seen when the enemy bellosom used quiver dance, and Muk copied it.
