Anger point gotta be one of the most fun abilities in the game

[@TheJuicyTangerine]

Anger point actually raised your atk 7 times in that first fight. It sets attack to max, not does 6 raises, so it even ignores tauros' intimidate

[@DBS_Destroyer]

Well, technically it raises it by 12 stages but it’s the same thing

[@BlazingTyphlosion]

@@DBS_Destroyer No?

[@Ampheline]

@@BlazingTyphlosion It does raise by 12 stages, The reason he said it's the same thing is because it'll get you to +6 no matter what stage you're on.

[@Ampheline]

@@BlazingTyphlosion Setting your attack to +6 all the time or giving you +12 has the same effect no matter what.

[@TheArcticBearboss]

It doesn't raise it by a set amount, it maxes out your attack stat. Since Anger point is triggered after the intimidate, you're gonna hit max attack no matter what.

[@LuisRomeroLopez]

*Costar Flamigo + Any Pokemon with Skill Swap* looks interesting just by itself. *Medicham* now gets Skill Swap, so it could give Huge Power to a +6 atk Flamigo while getting the + 6 atk. with Costar.

[@neri1220]

Very cool way of showing Ally Switch on Meowscarada. People keep using this mon offensively but it has many other tricks to offer, such as the mentioned Ally Switch. Skill Swap, Toxic Spikes, Trick and even Chilling Water are some of the surprise factors it could utilize. Just a note here: Ally Switch has been NERFED in that it may fail when used twice in a row, just like Protect - this was not the case in previous generations but it is now, so keep that in mind.

[@trevhart2124]

I just breed a shiny Sprigatito with Ally Switch, and this nerf disappointments me. Maybe I should've gone for Petal Blizzard instead

I like how Krookodile and Meowscarada looked at each other when they swapped places. I like to think in that moment Meowscarada was doing the smile and nod trope in that moment.

[@FoxMan_FF]

Anger Point strats work _really_ well with Paldean Tauros- specifically the Blaze Breed since it resists Flower Trick. I've also seen Cryogonal used for the setup since it gets access to Frost Breath, which also always crits. I want to see if I can utilize a similar strategy with Eviolite Primeape since no one expects it now that Annhilape is a thing.

[@aldocortes5748]

You are on the right track with Eviolite Primeape. I really recommend it. I use it with Tera Steel to resist Flower Trick -Drain punch -Rage fist -Tera blast (steel) -Protect Jolly nature 252 ATK 252 SPEED 4 HP

If it's Murkrow, it will be dead before it has a chance to Haze on the afterturn (assuming it's a lead), Follow Me, on the other hand will mess up the strategy before it causes too much damage (Meowscarada being immune to Rage Powder is a big advantage tho)

[@Somebody73852]

As a person that has used anger point for years, Tauros blaze breed is so much better since it resists the flower trick. I like the Salac berry idea of course but it helps more to use a different form of speed control such as Murkrow in the back, so you can give a different item like goggles, because spore and rage powder suck

[@TriStain69]

As someone who's recently tried that, I can report that it can be a little risky, since a decent amount of Pokemon can still outspeed Tauros and take it out turn 1 before it can even get a chance to attack. Tailwind is great, but with this setup you'd kind of need to do a lot of switching around to have Tailwind up for when Tauros takes the Flower Trick. Plus if the enemy team sets up a Tailwind too that just negates that speed boost completely. I think the benefit of the Salac Berry strat is that it grants the immediate speed boost on turn 1

This works better with Froslass and Paldean Tauros, since Tauros resists frost breath and meowscarada isnt worth lowering its attack to not kill krookodile, particularly when its usually used offensively against dondozo and other mons

I've made a mono dark team who uses this very set up as the backbone of the team. It's done significantly better than I thought it would and you're right, it's delicute. I'd love to try and battle of the two anger points to see who comes out on top XD

[@Hyenadont]

Terrastalization works really well here, as you can change type to steel or flying to resist the crit. A better item too would be covert cloak and using froslass (can't flying terra on that one) so turn 1 you have full immunity to fake out immediately. Froslass also has helping hand, which is just ridiculous. Terrastalization also means you can max the attack/spA of your critter so it's still useful when anger point shenanigans can't be used. Fire tauros and primeape are really good alternatives, with primeape having eviolite to take hits rage fist starting at 100 base and drain punch to refill HP like crazy as well as encore to deal with set up or support mons, and tauros has rock slide and earthquake for the max spread damage, and a crazy good physical fire move that breaks screens and hits grass mons and terras

[@kingyveltal1623]

I… don’t see why you didn’t just terastilize krookodile into a type that resists flower trick. Great strategy though

[@stevenseufert2520]

I think he was going for greatest damage output. He already has STAB with Earthquake and Power Trick, adding rock tera type grants STAB for Rock Slide. Also, the item equipped to his Krookadile was a Salac Berry, which grants a speed boost, but only when it gets to low HP. If he doesn't take enough damage, he won't get the speed boost.

Wow this is amazing I love krookodile thanks for making this strategy for one of my favorite Pokémon, can this be competitive team or is it just a fun team?

[@AmericanDadClips1]

This team only works on the slight end of teams, a lot of Pokémon use 2 hit moves or just straight up understand that they need to get Krookodile off the floor first, meowscarada is fairly weak, so they either double attack your krookodile or simply attack it in general after the flower trick goes through and one hit it. Works okay but overall not the best for sure
