THE IMMORTAL TOXICROAK MADE THIS NOOB RAGE QUIT ON POKEMON SHOWDOWN !!

[@saiyanfreak]

He was probably Punching Glove Urshifu, which boosts punching moves by ten percent but prevents them from making contact. That’s why he had three punching moves on his moveset.

[@garunix4577]

Is that like iron fist from golurk

[@Dreedger]

Why is no contact a down side?

[@saiyanfreak]

@ it prevents Urshifus ability from activating. The ability is extremely relevant in doubles/vgc format.

[@Dreedger]

@@saiyanfreak ohhhh that makes sense

[@laterferaligatr2947]

I'd say he was Punching Glove on his Urshifu. I learned from experience ( by using it with Urshifu when the glove first dropped as an item) that while it boosts punching moves' power, it also negates contact for punching moves, which effectively also negates Urshifu's ability when it uses moves like Thunder Punch and Drain Punch

[@kyleschram4306]

Dude that last guy was a mystery, astoundingly questionable sets and plays. It had to have been on purpose im convinced

[@mythmakroxymore1670]

Now take it to doubles and surf spam.

[@Alsebra]

What was the Calyrex going for in that first battle that caused Ting-Lu with Whirlwind to go off first?

[@Yuander_467]

Which gamemode is this?

Palafin waiting till this day to enter '-'

[@piratequeenucyra6690]

That's kinda smart as much as I don't like Tera... He's steel type now so he resists Psychic and Flying, he has dry skin so he's immune to water for neutral. The rain is up so you can't spam fire at it. Really it's only weakness is ground and fighting. But it has substitute... This is disgustingly clever.

[@greendesigner]

Dont forget grassy terrain weakens earthquake and two other strong ground moves

[@MarySpratt-q9e]

Meta

[@da1mon646]

You can actually spam Fire moves once it's Tera Steel 'cause of Dry Skin, even in rain

[@handstand0]

Are you not allowed to show the chat? I was expecting some salty dialog but got nothing

[@Expialadociouss]

They did show the chat. Witness the end of the Full Paradox game.

​@ExpialadocioussI just saw 3 sentences.......

[@bmrphilou7941]

Black sludge would have been better to heal toxicroak. Rookie mistake

[@TeveshSzat89]

Yes, because black sludge would heal a Tera Steel pokemon. Excellent suggestion.

[@J3T_3]

@@TeveshSzat89LMFAO

[@voidoflife9372]

It wouldn’t have. They heal the exact same amount.

[@secondcite3840]

Can anyone tell the class the flavor text of Black Sludge?
