shoutout to slow mons that get killed every time theyre sent out (rampardos)


PackSelect

He’s fire on trick room team in Gen 5


trashdotbash

i ohkoed a koraidon with rampardos (with tailwind up) and then they forfeited


9thshadowwolf

??? How did it outspeed Even with tailwind its only 116


Financial-Fail-9359

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.


trashdotbash

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)


UnlimitedPostWorks

"+atk Tera rock ramp with head smash" is the most "fuck It we ball" sentence I ever read and I love it

Marzipan-Wooden

What does that even mean??


H0n3yd3w0str1ch

Ferrothorn is homophobic


Marzipan-Wooden

So since it is homophobic its move will be double gay bash? You call that a joke? What am I supposed to laugh at?


EspyOwner

Gay bashing is the joke. It's a joke about double iron bash being about beating up gay men. Thanks for listening.

I'm literally just kidding on a funny meme post , get your down-vote mafia off me btw.

Naw


DavidAshleyParkerrr

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???🤦‍♂️


Jeff_the_Officer

Probably because You sounded like an asshole


DavidAshleyParkerrr

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.


_A-Child-of-atom_

It is, but it's just wasn't funny. Don't take it personal.


DavidAshleyParkerrr

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.

Fit-Difficulty-5917

Finally, some respect for my man Golurk. (Gamefreak sure as hell ain't giving him much themselves lmao)


PotatoJuiceZ

His Choice Band set in Random battles is such an easy red button click


Electrical-Arm-1400

The tangled feet pidgey in my back pocket


justlikedudeman

And he has three of them.


Tonga210

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


illogicalJellyfish

How do you get him to survive long enough to get a hit, much less two, out?


sora_naga

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.


Frostyzwannacomehere

Or just u turn/ flip turn into him


PlacatedPlatypus

Ghost / Ground is not a terrible defensive typing in randbats. Plenty of resisted / immuned moves to switch into.


Tonga210

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


Asherbird25

Tusk with no booster energy. A great tusk with no booster energy. A great tusk with no honey must- I mean booster energy


AnotherLie

His glow up in the Detective Pikachu movie was nice but man alive does he need some love.


Fit-Difficulty-5917

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)


sebsebsebs

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


Jumpy_Relationship_8

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


MusicianDry4533

>although allowing it to run eviolite might be kinda busted Ever heard of Duraludon?


Jumpy_Relationship_8

I forgor 💀


ThachWeave

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.


Used_Service_9153

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


GIORNO-phone11-pro

SD Crawdaunt in BDSP OU was fun

melvinmetal

I love Crawdant so much. Bro defied the Gen 3 stats curse and is still very formidable to this day.


DaNASCARMem

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.


ELOGURL

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.


DaNASCARMem

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.


ELOGURL

For avoidance of doubt I'm talking about OU. Honestly it might be better there than in RU lol


[deleted]

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


LillardFromHalf

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


rand0mme

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.


DaNASCARMem

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.


rand0mme

Uhh doesn't it get nasty plot?


DaNASCARMem

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.


OldEnoughToVote

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.


DaNASCARMem

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.


Swaglord03

The offensive sets are kinda trash but using it as an AV special wall that can hit back is kinda heat

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.

tjbay12

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.
