Just a small correction; life orb+sheer force isn´t a 60% buff to his attacks, but 69%. The two 1.3 boosts from it´s item and ability are applied seperately and not counted together. An attack with a power of 100 would be calculated like this. 100x1,3 (life orb)=130 130x1.3 (sheer force)=169

Dude Nidoking has been UU in every gen since RSE but still gets occasional OU play. This buffed version belongs in Ubers with Landorus Incarnate who has a nearly identical role to Nidoking as a Sheer Force abuser. The only relevant difference between this new Nidoking and Lando (other than typing) is one less point in speed and a better movepool. You accidentally remade Lando.

One other thing pseudo-legendaries have which Nidoking would need to have changed is the levels in which it evolves. If you left it as level 16 for Nidorino and then using a moon stone for Nidoking, then a player could have a Nidoking by the time they get to Misty in Kanto. I would say that it should evolve into Nidorino at level 25 and then Nidoking at level 50. Great stuff btw, you should continue this series with other three stage lines.

It's not as tanky with Salamence's Intimidate, and while it does have 5 more Spatk than Sal, Sal gets Draco Meteor compared to the shaking low acc power moves Nidoking gets.

Here’s how I’d change Nidoking (as a physical attacker fan myself): With 95 points to work with, putting them all into attack would be…unwise. Nothing changes, except attack which would go to *197* (the single highest attacking stat of all Pokémon, even mega Mewtwo Y’s special attack is only 194) So instead, I suggest this. HP: +5 (from 81 to 86) Attack: +35 (from 102 to 137, meaning it has the same attack as Solgaleo) Defence: +10 (from 77 to 87) Special attack: +17 (from 85 to 102) Special defence: +10 (from 75 to 85) Speed: +18 (from 85 to 103, meaning it can now outspeed garchomp) This does prioritise attack a solid bit, but you could still feasibly run a special attacking set. Supplemented with life orb and sheer force, an earthquake from this boosted set would *HURT* as for abilities, this would make it broken, but switch rivalry for defiant.

If we compare it to Gen 9 monstrosities like Baxcalibur and Archaludon, then we don't have to hold back with the buffs. Give this Nidoking access to Gunk Shot, Icicle Crash, and Play Rough on the physical side, and access to moves like Swords Dance, Bulk Up, and Nasty Plot for setup. Lowkey want to give it DD, because T-tar gets it so why not, but that 100 base Speed would ensure it never touches OU for at least two generations. Though, to be honest, all of that would probably let it have a pretty good niche even in Ubers; being very slightly slower and frailer (I think) than Landorus-I in exchange for an insane special Sheer Force moveset, a lack of an Ice type quad weakness, and resistance to Stealth Rock.

I'd say rather than rough skin, you should give it Guts as a replacement with rivalry.

i think 5 spatt could be traded for 5 att. remember that in comp (er, in the only format i acknowledge, no idea what it does in doubles if anything) nidoking never runs physical sets. it's still a mixed attacker by virtue of its options, as the moves that make use of the physical side are just weaker yet use the higher attacking stat to compensate. gunk shot, earthquake, and some punches need to keep up in damage output. with the proposed stats (122/110 offenses): 252+ SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Sludge Wave vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 257-304 (63.6 - 75.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ Atk Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Gunk Shot vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mew: 348-411 (86.1 - 101.7%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO 252+ Atk Life Orb Nidoking Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mew: 224-265 (55.4 - 65.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ Atk Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Mew: 231-274 (57.1 - 67.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO gunk shot is basically its only super good physical attack, whereas for special attacks the life orb sheer force boost lets it have much better rounded attacks.

I feel like they knew that a special Nidoking made for a better Nidoking, as showcased by what they used in the video. Increasing the Attack still gives it the proportionally niche option for its Physical moves, or coverage in Superpower, for example. If they truly wanted to lean into what was best for it, they’d have disregarded the Attack entirely and buffed up Sp. Atk to even more insane levels of broken. But sure, if your point is that it should be slightly more powerful than it would be currently, then that’s fine as well 👍🏼

@@pikminman13 ​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​​​⁠​⁠ _(Warning for a long ass comment)_ I never said Nidoking as a whole wasn’t meant to be a mixed attacker, but I actually misunderstood you myself first lol, so that’s fair enough, and I understand the confusion. We’re actually pretty much in agreement. I thought you were recommending +5 Special Attack & -5 Attack, so I was making the point that it still appreciated the Attack for the aforementioned reasons, i.e. Superpower to break through Chansey/Blissey. Reading your comment the other way around was what made me bring up the theoretical hyper-optimisation of a Sheer Force attacker as purely Special, and why they didn’t go for that despite knowing it’d likely lean Special, anyway. That said, I’d totally be down to swap 5 Special Attack for Attack. Hell, I might even cautiously advocate for a *sliightly* higher boost, as well. The special coverage already gives far too good of a reason to lean further special over mixed, for a few reasons: 4 Atk Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Gunk Shot vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mew: 261-308 (76.5 - 90.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Sludge Wave vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 257-304 (75.3 - 89.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Nidoking Sludge Wave vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 234-277 (68.6 - 81.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO *Earth Power still outdamages EQ, which you’re already aware of.* Running max Attack wouldn’t buff most of Nidoking’s deadly coverage, which is a huge part of its potency. Even +Speed versions aren’t drastically stronger with Gunk Shot, which already came with the trade-off of 80 Accuracy & 8 PP. So I say you emphasise it a little more, perhaps with -4 Defense & -3 Sp. Def (leaving both @ 90) in exchange for an additional 7 in Attack. Is 129/110 a lil insane? Perhaps, but the Sheer Force pseudo already made it comparable to Lando-I 😂 Could do 125 or 126 to be safe. Besides, it’s still Earth Powering, Flamethrowering, Ice Beaming, Thunderbolting… just that now, Gunk Shot is solidified as a threat, while also giving the niche Superpower & Sucker Punch more legs to stand with.

@IStillPlayWhite2
@IStillPlayWhite2 Ай бұрын
Thank you :) Its just a mechanic in Pokemon that Gamefreakj implemented, theres really no concrete explanation as to why Sheer Force and Life Orb merge! It seems that sheer force removes the negative effect from the Life Orb alongside the secondary effects from moves like Sludge Wave.
