[@turtlenator6249]

Wasn’t huge on Empoleon, but after trying it a bit on a Trick Room team, man is it fun with the Competitive buff.

[@aaf5435]

Man i hope that happens

[@雪者]

I'm actually excited for Empoleon in VGC

[@TH3H3LLR41S3R]

Prediction is that it won't even see worlds sadly.

[@ianluk6385]

​@@TH3H3LLR41S3Rit's basically a better Milotic. If Milotic can see relative success, Empoleon will likely at least get close to success

whats the other one? I can only think of Eiscue but I feel like that's wrong

[@mistahjenkins4826]

Fun fact: all three Sinnoh Starters now have a recovery move! Torterra gets Synthesis, Empoleon gets Roost, and Infernape gets Slack Off.

[@AwesomeHairo]

Infernape always had Slack Off, a nod to Sun Wukong

[@dokucroe3865]

Thiss needs mentioned too but Empoleon can also learn Vacuum Wave for priority to help with its poor speed.

[@Hyper_Drud]

Didn’t it already have Aqua Jet though?

[@Hazel-xl8in]

@@Hyper_Drudtrading stab for a higher special attack and coverage? it’s up to you i suppose.

[@TitanKaiju75]

Ah yes... Roost. Like how real life penguins have to land and rest after all that powered flight they partake in!

[@randomname9723]

Empoleon is one of my all time favs. In fact, all the Gen 4 starters are perfect

[@dermaisknabe8917]

Best set IMO.

[@imaginativegirl126]

Torterra got great buffs too with headlong rush and iron defense+body press

[@Moald]

Chimchar was always too basic for me, it doesn't feel like a starter pokemon imo

[@HazeEmry]

​@@Moaldmy feelings exactly. It had almost the perfect set. Hoenn is the same but Sceptile needed to be a bit more than it is instead

FINALLY! MY BOY MIGHT FINALLY GET THE RESPECT HE DESERVES! hopefully rhyperior will too whenever the indigo disc rolls around

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Empoleon is such a cool mon, so I'm super glad to see them doing better. :)

I have wanted to see a Roost Empoleon for a hot minute. Easily among my favorite starters.

[@Brambrew]

Rise, penguino enjoyers 💪

RISEEEEEE

It gets Air Slash now too

seeing them change an ability for the better gives me hope for future mons

[@smackjack78]

Feels like I could run all 3 Sinnoh Starters on the same team and not have it be a gimmick with the buffs being handed around. They’re all pretty viable now, I love it

[@senabecool7232]

I know Empoleon got Roost and a new ability, Torterra got Shell Smash. What did Infernape get as a buff

[@christiancinnabars1402]

@senabecool7232 Tera.

[@Endershock1678]

@@senabecool7232 Infernape was always the best of the 3, so it didn't need a buff.

[@zerius6743]

​@@senabecool7232 Infernape got Aura Sphere and also Raging Fury(came back from PLA) plus other tms that could give this mon more coverage IOA tms included.

[@alfiegreen349]

It got knock off I think

Never used this mon in my life, was always a Chimchar kid growing up. Saw this short, hunted a shiny, and have be wreaking havoc in my friend group leagues ever since. Thank you so much for the content.

[@pokeaimMD]

Aye im glad!

[@GoldStorm07]

I'd wish Empoleon would get Filter if its ability was getting changed, but Competitive is quite nice with that juicy special attack.

[@MKL874]

there's still a free slot that could be used for that, so maybe in the future

[@GoldStorm07]

[@antoniopriego5660]

He also learns vacuum wave now

[@imaginativegirl126]

OMG YASSS

[@vittoriomassaro8131]

Empoleon has basically becomed a water corviknight

[@Ironwill3004]

Only sucky thing is it no longer gets defog, but I’d say roost more than makes up for that

[@Cygis]

It also got a special priority move in Vacuum Wave which gives it more coverage and the ability to forgo Aqua Jet which uses its weaker physical attack

[@lordmonarch2995]

Empoleon was always awesome for both defensive and offensive and it still is. Love that emperor Penguin

[@nicolasromani3523]

It always made zero sense to me why Empoleon didn't learn roost. Evn real life penguins need to rest on their nest after flying for long periods of time eventually.

[@thomast7794]

Exactly! Penguins fly so much, empoleon should actually get all the flying type moves!

[@Valerio_the_wandering_sprite]

He probably meant "flying in the water".

​@@Valerio_the_wandering_sprite that's called swimming though.. 😂

this gives me hopes fro when they drop Feraligator back into the game in WAve 2

[@goGothitaLOL]

I mean Sheer Force is one of the best abilities in the game, but Gyarados, Cloyster and arguably even Drednaw (it has Shell Smash now) all give it a run for it’s money, and those are just the alternative physical Water set-up sweepers

Although Infernape is my favorite starter, Empoleon is one of my favorite water starter types and has a unique typing. Glad to see it get a significant buff after all this time.

[@BlackHanzo]

All they need is a calm mind

[@benminer7071]

Don’t forget it’s got access to swords dance too. Empoleon is crazy versatile and i love it. It’s useable as a physical, special attacker. Can be used defensively with Roost/ rest,substitute and iron defense. You can also go with support with haze, helping hand, stealth rock and knock off.

I wish emp[oleon was just a little faster.

[@christianvannucci6455]

What's also nice is that it's gonna be a wonderful counter to setup sweepers and against Urshifu Water, since he resists his attacks, can ruin any swords dance setup and knock off if it's banded

[@juju12589]

Oh yeah, Infernape also got some buffs It can now learn drain punch, which pairs really great with its hidden ability, as well as hisuian arcanine's signature move Stack iron fist boosted punching moves with the punching gloves item and you got yourself a really powerful mon on your team
