WHEN YOU DESTROY A NOOB WITH ENCORE HAWLUCHA ON POKEMON SHOWDOWN !!!!

[@FranXiT]

Since you have encore to get infinite boosts, you should go with bulk up instead of swords dance to also have 4x defense

[@pabloc.5186]

The opponent can always switch mon. That's why swords dance is usually preferable, to maximize chance of a sweep.

[@FranXiT]

@pabloc.5186 then run block on hawlucha

"That it's not even a set ☝️🤓😭😭😭"

"tHatS NoT eVeN A Set!"... "i'M tIrED of FaCInG NoOBs" ... forfeits Established sets are a rule or law, they're just copy-paste standards for pokemon. Established sets don't automatically make the pokemon viable, nor they automatically the best set for the pokemon in fulfilling their necessary role within the team. The noob is the one who relies explicitly on established sets, at the cost of the role that needs to be be fulfilled. Note that using established sets isn't a bad thing if those sets fulfill the role, but it's a bad mindset if you look at a pokemon and only see those specific sets, without a spark of creativity allowed.

When will Baton Pass users learn? People are catching up to that strategy

The path of least resistance, most people just copy other people. The general public usually doesn't try. The reason you see the same strategies over and over again.
