Do not worry. In generation 11, Sudowoodo will gain 3 new evolutions depending on what environment you level him: Phoneyboney - impersonates a ghostly skeleton, but is actually Fighting type Shamclam - impersonates a watery shellder, but is actually fairy Mockrock - impersonates a rocky Geodude, but is actually steel
@KLIXORthe2 ай бұрын
I think keeping the theme of having the Sudowoodo's actual typing resist most of the implied typing's weaknesses should be kept. Phoney could be dark type, Shamclam could be grass type, and Mockrock could be bug type.

I used to do something similar with aggron in gen 7, except I ran autotomize/ice punch/stealth rock/reversal. Autotomize was sweet because if you read your opponent was gonna set up hazards instead of attacking first turn to try to trade rocks, you could autotomize and win the 1v1 vs landorus-T, heatran, garchomp, and tyranitar, and then get a fast stealth rock against their next mon, or go for reversal for damage. It could also check battlebond greninja by switching into a specs locked hydropump, and KOing it with custap reversal. I peaked around 1660 elo with it iirc.

There is only one other pokemon In SV who gets all those moves/ability other than head smash, that being carbink, who would likely not get brought to custap range as easily, so it is neat to see how niche this particular mons utility is :D specifically giving him spikes and not golem or donphan makes him so much better
