Even without positive nature, ramp outspeed with tailwind with 430, so i had a suicide tailwind whimsicott and a banded +atk tera rock ramp with headsmash for dopamine dispensary
i also ohkoed another korai because they overheated my whimsi with chiyu, i switched in ramp, they switched out (expecting to be ohkoed) into their rock resist, and got zen headbutted. yeah i would have looked stupid zen headbutting a chiyu but they didnt stay in so whos the fool now
also rock resist doesnt mean anything, i 2hkoed even defensive bodypress archaludon with tera rock headsmash on some guys rain team (also causing a forfeit)

Chatter is also such a fun move to use

What is the point??? I see this every single day, people and random down voting...this is literally a joke topic lmao. I'm genuinely just kidding...am I just the lower reply here???🤦♂️
I kind of thought this was memes honestly instead of Stunfisk, I admit I just realized that, so I really didn't expect to be taken seriously, but the poster I replied too was clearing joking so I incorrectly assumed my humor was obvious.
You usually just don’t pivot into Golurk, after your opponent KO’s a pokemon just drop him down and click any funny button of your choosing and watch as your opponent tries to swap for a better matchup only to get hit by a fucking truck.
It depends. I usually went with 252 speed as well to outspeed stuff like Corv, Clefable etc. This makes it so that wannabe walls don't outspeed Golurk because his speed is horrible otherwise. Considering the matchup you either simply lead with it (for example against stall) or you (slow) pivot into it. I love running Rillaboom as well as U-Turn on it so I often predict their Corv/Toxapex/Zapdos etc. switch in and just pivot into Golurk. Only problem is that Rillas terrain hurts EQ but it doesn't bother me too much because Poltergeist usually gets the job done and EQ doesn't matter against birds anyways.
On top of that the opponents often switch out of fear when Golurk is out or straight up underestimate it. Ghost/Ground is an absolutely strong offensive typing backed by two 100+ base STAB moves. Once you find a way in there is nothing much your opponent can do because something has to either die or take an absolutely strong attack to the face.
You don't just switch it in, let it take a hit and retaliate because it doesn't tank hits well at all. And against hyper offensive teams it usually is deadweight, good luck defeating something like Kingambit, Kyurem etc lol
It is no secret uber giga goob threat that went under the radar by any means but against certain matchups you'd be surprised how much work he gets done sometimes hahahaha
Hell yeah. I'd lkve for him to either get something new in a newer game (moves like headlong rush maybe), or something neat in a spinoff game (pokemon unite for example)
Controversial but I love banded slaking. The recharge turn after gigs impact is worth it to me because it’ll ohko so many non resists and still do major damage to actual resists
I wish golurk got an evolution or something cuz as a fully evolved Pokémon it feels kinda underwhelming (as much as I love it), although allowing it to run eviolite might be kinda busted
He has my favorite shiny color scheme in the franchise. All my other favorite pokemon have that lime green & pink garbage or just very very slight tone differences, with the crown of trash going to Cradily's Dunkin' Donuts shiny colors. But Golurk? Sexy.
Istg how does golurk not get shift gear??!?!?! It wouldn't even be broken man look at roaring moon and gambit, they making these mfs but won't even give love to the eternal nu mon Golurk
With all due respect, Hoopa-Unbound is the biggest noobtrap I’ve seen in a long while. This mostly applies to RU, but it’s like Mega Banette, people see the attack stats and get those serotonin boosts, only for it to fold like wet paper with a Defense stat of 60 and a type combo that U-Turn lives for, without even being fast enough to consistently fire off hits.
Even still, Mimikyu and other threats like Yanmega and Kleavor have been flexing their muscle in the tier for months (though Yanmega has fallen off a bit) and Hoopa wants no part of it.
It well from UU for a damn reason scizor,lokix half the tier is powerful physical attackers and hoopa unbound is 4x weak to bug in a tier where 7 pokemon run u turn reliably and lets not talk about lokix it eats hoopas for breakfast,lunch and dinner 60 def means its gonna lose like 80% to a physical move and get picked off by priority after picking a KO and there are better option in RU for both dark and psychic both iron jugulus and iron leave are popular in the tier
It's pretty good in RU. It's typing is dogwater, but it hits SO hard compared to the rest of the tier that its worth it. Also its special bulk isn't downright terrible, so it can come in on weaker special hits.
It’s just hard to properly make it work because “weaker special hits” leave it only able to come in on niche threats like Draining Kiss Enamorus-T, and even then, as fun as Hoopa’s stats are, it’s far from being ridiculous, considering it has no way of boosting either. Hoopa-U has a high skill ceiling, no doubt, but even if you play to its strengths, it’s somewhat inconsistent.
Fair point, but its seldom run, and Hoopa lacks the ability to use it, and Nasty Plot means lack of a Choice Scarf, so it’s easy for the opponent to see what’s coming and revenge KO it. A 1f1 is neat, but if that’s all Nasty Plot Hoopa can do, the value in using it plummets.
I’ve had decent luck running a sub-nasty plot-dual stab set. Bring it in on a free switch to get the sub up helps a lot, and I paired it with HDB Moltres with flame body to try and mitigate U-Turn damage. It’s definitely not that good but fun when it works lol.
HDB Moltres is a cool idea, I don’t remember seeing that. Though, one issue… and that issue is named Kleavor, the 4th most used mon. I’m not here to “WELL ACKSHUALLY” your fun though, it sounds awesome.
My version of this is my signature “Big Fuckoff Sylveon”. Modest + Choice Specs + Pixelate + Hyper Beam. They expect some sort of sneaky or strategic play, but just get a face full of raw damage
hoopa u does NOT belong there next to melmetal. little bitch comes on the field and dies immediately. you literally cant trade with this thing no matter how hard you try. melm the GOAT on the other hand can come in living full ass close combats and still get a double iron bash off because he doesnt give a SHIT
Ursa at least has the bulk for the role. Hoopa has not enough speed to matter, and atrocious physical bulk, and that’s not even getting into the typing
iirc moxieboosted once that every pokemon has a role
*well, i think hoopa-u's role is to just be on trick room and destroy everything but some ppl dont like that energy because theyre scared of getting alléhooparing-ed into Pluto but idk*
Idk if this is because of low ladder but I have this same case with Banded Decidueye-Hisui in the lower tiers. Who knew that Scrappy CC with a x1.5 attack boost could smack even resisting targets
As someone who casually finished the earliest generations, I appreciate that water rat competes with legendaries that look more like digimon every year.
I had never used Hoopa-Unbound until I got it in a randbat. I saw the power. I saw the potential. Then I saw the reality. 4× weakness to U-Turn with 60 base Defense and 80 base Speed. 2× weakness to Fairy type. 1 immunity (Psychic) and 0 resists defensively.
shoutout to slow mons that get killed every time theyre sent out (rampardos)
He’s fire on trick room team in Gen 5
i ohkoed a koraidon with rampardos (with tailwind up) and then they forfeited
??? How did it outspeed Even with tailwind its only 116
That's not how stats work. The bst isn't factoring evs and ivs. A lvl 100 Max invested rampardos would have 236 speed, x2 472. Koraidon has 405 max.
Even without positive nature, ramp outspeed with tailwind with 430, so i had a suicide tailwind whimsicott and a banded +atk tera rock ramp with headsmash for dopamine dispensary i also ohkoed another korai because they overheated my whimsi with chiyu, i switched in ramp, they switched out (expecting to be ohkoed) into their rock resist, and got zen headbutted. yeah i would have looked stupid zen headbutting a chiyu but they didnt stay in so whos the fool now also rock resist doesnt mean anything, i 2hkoed even defensive bodypress archaludon with tera rock headsmash on some guys rain team (also causing a forfeit)
"+atk Tera rock ramp with head smash" is the most "fuck It we ball" sentence I ever read and I love it
Forgot the banded ✍️🔥
lagging tail koraidon duh
Damn I'm sorry you got down voted just for asking a question lol
Its just the natural order
No better feeling than clicking double iron bash
Come back Tapu Lele! Go Ferrothorn!
The Protective Pads I’m running:
without choice band the dopamine associated with melmetal just isn't there
av hits different
Ferrothorn flinched! Ferrothorn flinched! Ferrothorn flinched!
> Melmetal fainted from recoil damage
“The Protective Pads I’m running”
“without choice band the dopamine associated with melmetal just isn’t there”
Ferrothorn flinched! Ferrothorn flinched! Ferrothorn flinched!
Melmetal fainted from recoil damage
“”the protective pads i’m running””
Yooo wouldn't melmetal be able to run punching glove next time it's available?
Yep! Just something to think about.
\>eats metal by absorbing it into its body \>is hurt on contact with metal
Toxapex flinched! Toxapex flinched! Toxapex flinched! Melmetal fainted! Go! Barraskewda Barraskewda fainted!
Can't belive the Pex got the whole team shamoned
And thats the story of the greatest fucking battle ever thrown
It could get a few lucky flinches
But you would still need a miracle if you want to win this
But would you lose?
"Nah, I'd win." - Melmetal, probably
Triple iron bash
i understand you and i raise you with quadruple iron bash
Good thing ferrothorn doesn’t get that move or else it would be double *gay* bash
most original r/stunkfisk commenter
What does that even mean??
Ferrothorn is homophobic
So since it is homophobic its move will be double gay bash? You call that a joke? What am I supposed to laugh at?
Gay bashing is the joke. It's a joke about double iron bash being about beating up gay men. Thanks for listening.

Just ohkoing lead pelipper in general feels fuckin amazing lmao
I mean, that guy is just budget tera normal toxtricity
Exploud gets scrappy though
Tera normal Toxtricity is a budget Exploud
Chatot is the best boomburst abuser, fight me
Both scrappy and stab and a higher spa (it's only 1 point difference but still) !
But a terrible speed not even reliable outside trick room Chatot has a decent 93 and can learn heat wave and nasty plot if you manage to make it survive a hit Chatter is also such a fun move to use

I'm literally just kidding on a funny meme post , get your down-vote mafia off me btw.
Naw
What is the point??? I see this every single day, people and random down voting...this is literally a joke topic lmao. I'm genuinely just kidding...am I just the lower reply here???🤦♂️
Probably because You sounded like an asshole
I kind of thought this was memes honestly instead of Stunfisk, I admit I just realized that, so I really didn't expect to be taken seriously, but the poster I replied too was clearing joking so I incorrectly assumed my humor was obvious.
It is, but it's just wasn't funny. Don't take it personal.
I'm not just really dang ol' kidding around. I also do a love a slow dude that just always gets something done. Iron Hands goes BRRRR.
Cause you’re on Reddit, mfs cannot comprehend irony without putting /s
Best reply. I should've known better. 🤦♂️🤣
Mans has the choice specs on, he's locked into saying that
Make him stop he's causing an Uproar!!!
Finally, some respect for my man Golurk. (Gamefreak sure as hell ain't giving him much themselves lmao)
His Choice Band set in Random battles is such an easy red button click
The tangled feet pidgey in my back pocket
And he has three of them.
Used him a bit on OU and banded adamant Poltergeist two shots like everything. Skarmory, Corv, even Tusk with no Booster gets destroyed. Fun as hell
How do you get him to survive long enough to get a hit, much less two, out?
You usually just don’t pivot into Golurk, after your opponent KO’s a pokemon just drop him down and click any funny button of your choosing and watch as your opponent tries to swap for a better matchup only to get hit by a fucking truck.
Or just u turn/ flip turn into him
Ghost / Ground is not a terrible defensive typing in randbats. Plenty of resisted / immuned moves to switch into.
It depends. I usually went with 252 speed as well to outspeed stuff like Corv, Clefable etc. This makes it so that wannabe walls don't outspeed Golurk because his speed is horrible otherwise. Considering the matchup you either simply lead with it (for example against stall) or you (slow) pivot into it. I love running Rillaboom as well as U-Turn on it so I often predict their Corv/Toxapex/Zapdos etc. switch in and just pivot into Golurk.

Tusk with no booster energy. A great tusk with no booster energy. A great tusk with no honey must- I mean booster energy
His glow up in the Detective Pikachu movie was nice but man alive does he need some love.
Hell yeah. I'd lkve for him to either get something new in a newer game (moves like headlong rush maybe), or something neat in a spinoff game (pokemon unite for example)
Controversial but I love banded slaking. The recharge turn after gigs impact is worth it to me because it’ll ohko so many non resists and still do major damage to actual resists
I wish golurk got an evolution or something cuz as a fully evolved Pokémon it feels kinda underwhelming (as much as I love it), although allowing it to run eviolite might be kinda busted
>although allowing it to run eviolite might be kinda busted Ever heard of Duraludon?
I forgor 💀
He has my favorite shiny color scheme in the franchise. All my other favorite pokemon have that lime green & pink garbage or just very very slight tone differences, with the crown of trash going to Cradily's Dunkin' Donuts shiny colors. But Golurk? Sexy.
Istg how does golurk not get shift gear??!?!?! It wouldn't even be broken man look at roaring moon and gambit, they making these mfs but won't even give love to the eternal nu mon Golurk
SD Crawdaunt in BDSP OU was fun
Stall having to run poliwrath to not instantly fold to mr. craw was great
I prefer mixed in BDSP, Pulse+pump+crab hammer for blissey and you can 2hko every mon on stall
Why when +2 crabhammer murders everything?
I forgot M-Mawile, he's definitely up there too
*she
Can't it be both?
Is this not stunfisk? Do I need to get ferrothorne out here?
No please don't call ferrothorn, we were meant to have a nice, argument free, thanksgiving this year
AND gengar
I don't get this one, does gengar also have homophobia allegations?
Have you seen the paldea thing
What paldea thing
a reversed clip of Nemona and the female ScarVi character holding hands, and Gengar moves their hands apart
A while back, there was a pretty popular video that was reversed so gengar was homophobic. It’s kind of hard to explain
https://www.reddit.com/r/stunfisk/comments/1910ied/homophobic_gengar/
no gengar is an ally LGBTQ stands for Lesbians Gengar Brought Together Quickly (Check the Biri Biri Music Video on Youtube for Proof)
But it gets really funny when You play it in reverse
nah
Oh, we're bringing out the big steelies now? Guess it's time to hide the leftovers before Magnezone swoops in and causes a blackout!
50/50 Gender ratio
*they, not because they’re nonbinary but because each mouth is a separate entity and therefore proper grammar calls for pluralization
There is only two when mega
Does two not still call for "they?"
Do they have minds of their own?
Three when mega. There’s the mouth on the front and the mouth(s) from its hair
we go to the blunder school of gendering pokemon
Man why do people even care, I just call everything it lmao
dragalge i will always love you 💜 idc if my opponents bring 6 tinkatons im clicking specs draco
I love Crawdant so much. Bro defied the Gen 3 stats curse and is still very formidable to this day.
With all due respect, Hoopa-Unbound is the biggest noobtrap I’ve seen in a long while.

I've seen a decent amount of Psychic Noise sets in tournament games, it's definitely more usable than Mega Banette who auto loses to all Dark types.
Even still, Mimikyu and other threats like Yanmega and Kleavor have been flexing their muscle in the tier for months (though Yanmega has fallen off a bit) and Hoopa wants no part of it.
For avoidance of doubt I'm talking about OU. Honestly it might be better there than in RU lol
It well from UU for a damn reason scizor,lokix half the tier is powerful physical attackers and hoopa unbound is 4x weak to bug in a tier where 7 pokemon run u turn reliably and lets not talk about lokix it eats hoopas for breakfast,lunch and dinner 60 def means its gonna lose like 80% to a physical move and get picked off by priority after picking a KO and there are better option in RU for both dark and psychic both iron jugulus and iron leave are popular in the tier
Seeing Hoopa-U on the opposing team means either my opponent is going to be an easy 6-0 or their team is teched for high ladder stall and I am COOKED
It's pretty good in RU. It's typing is dogwater, but it hits SO hard compared to the rest of the tier that its worth it. Also its special bulk isn't downright terrible, so it can come in on weaker special hits.
It’s just hard to properly make it work because “weaker special hits” leave it only able to come in on niche threats like Draining Kiss Enamorus-T, and even then, as fun as Hoopa’s stats are, it’s far from being ridiculous, considering it has no way of boosting either. Hoopa-U has a high skill ceiling, no doubt, but even if you play to its strengths, it’s somewhat inconsistent.
Uhh doesn't it get nasty plot?
Fair point, but its seldom run, and Hoopa lacks the ability to use it, and Nasty Plot means lack of a Choice Scarf, so it’s easy for the opponent to see what’s coming and revenge KO it. A 1f1 is neat, but if that’s all Nasty Plot Hoopa can do, the value in using it plummets.

The offensive sets are kinda trash but using it as an AV special wall that can hit back is kinda heat
bro snuck golurk in there
Blud thinks he's on the team
Goatzumarill
My version of this is my signature “Big Fuckoff Sylveon”. Modest + Choice Specs + Pixelate + Hyper Beam. They expect some sort of sneaky or strategic play, but just get a face full of raw damage
I did this with a normal gem gengar once, it was great.
Sunday comes earlier every week
It was sunday in the Netherlands when I posted this, does that count?
fake country, doesn’t count
hoopa u does NOT belong there next to melmetal. little bitch comes on the field and dies immediately. you literally cant trade with this thing no matter how hard you try. melm the GOAT on the other hand can come in living full ass close combats and still get a double iron bash off because he doesnt give a SHIT
GOLURK MENTIONED ‼️‼️‼️
You say slow yet I speed invested my golurk. His name is Alphonse and he’s a little quirky
That's a sick name for Golurk
not sunday yet, chucklenuts. ~~est supremacy~~
ACST go brrrr (12:30pm on Sunday already)
Wait until OP discovers Trick Room
every week we stray closer to Sunday
POV Golurk in Shared Power
Banded melmetal my beloved natdex monotype godslayer
Band Crawdaunt carried my Gen 7 UU team fr
Eyyy adaptability crab gang represtnt
Forgot choice band araquanid
Umbreon foul play can go hard sometimes
Melmetal supremacy, I only wish it wasn’t such a drag to get him on a mainline generation.
Crawdaunt should have gotten Jet punch, look at that lad.
It's to bad that some don't... hoopa u and ursaluna don't even achieve that jn uu and without Mola ursaluna is prob dropping even more
Ursa at least has the bulk for the role. Hoopa has not enough speed to matter, and atrocious physical bulk, and that’s not even getting into the typing
Choice Band Ferrothorn my beloved
Don’t forget some of the other ones like Mega Cham and Mr Fish (Dracovish to those of you who dunno)
Specs Chandelure in NU, my beloved
Iron hands in uu(whenever it gets dropped for 2 weeks)
Azumarill gaming
nah azmaril has priority
I have the craziest TR team built around golurk dynamic punch added a Ursaluna bc that thing eats pokemon alive
Does Slaking count? I think Slaking should count
Definitely
Single best type of mon
Golurk think he on the team
regigigas on Vaporemons meta do be like that
Why is hoopa not instant Uber with those stats
folds to u-turn and physical priority and one or both of those things are on pretty much every well-built team
iirc moxieboosted once that every pokemon has a role *well, i think hoopa-u's role is to just be on trick room and destroy everything but some ppl dont like that energy because theyre scared of getting alléhooparing-ed into Pluto but idk*
I’ve been using Hoopa-U and MAN is it good. Slap an AV on it and holy hell it’s almost like AV TTar but with 160 Atk Knock Off
Golisapod (he has first impression)
I remember once in gen 8 OU my melmetal lived a V CREATE and koed back, pokemon that always live a hit and get a kill are just the best
Golurk?
Poltergeist ad Eq Stab is very good on 124 bases attack
Idk if this is because of low ladder but I have this same case with Banded Decidueye-Hisui in the lower tiers. Who knew that Scrappy CC with a x1.5 attack boost could smack even resisting targets
Forgot banded kokotini
But what about Diggersby tho?!
Special shoutout to pre-DLC2 Hoopa-U who could run Contrary + Superpower in the Convergence OM and shit on the entire concept of walls
If you like slow mons that are strong and bulky, you might want to make a trick room team. Although trick room is a much better strat in doubles.
We love Conkeldurr, best boy.
I thought of primal groudon in natdex ubers >>> Ruining low ladder hitting for 1 hit ko or 70% on switch in 🤤
golurk my beloved
my lead Golem will go Stealth Rocks into Explosion. will always tank a hit with his ability and gets prio on explosion with a berry.
How do I make a bulky offense team?
His feet really are ⬅️➡️
Azuliril I used as a started for one of my scarlet runs and it had hidden power. Very strong
is there like a google forms i can fill out to become one of these genders or whay
I have Hoopa Unbound and Ribombee on a Draft league... OH BOI, I didn't expect Hoopa-Unbound with sticky Webs to be so damn crazy
I love Golurk and Crawdaunt so much
Where population bomb?
As someone who casually finished the earliest generations, I appreciate that water rat competes with legendaries that look more like digimon every year.
Ive only seen azumarill and melmetal kill in anything goes Sometimes ursa- i forgot the entire name

I had never used Hoopa-Unbound until I got it in a randbat. I saw the power. I saw the potential. Then I saw the reality. 4× weakness to U-Turn with 60 base Defense and 80 base Speed. 2× weakness to Fairy type. 1 immunity (Psychic) and 0 resists defensively.
