I believe Vulcanora gets Synthesis. Or morning sun, or whatever. 3/4HP in sun!
I would love to see more Giga Drain love with triage or something...
Maybe next gen. After an overdue buff. :/
Why suspect fluffy?I think Innards Out is much more broken than Fluffy
Innards Out isn't OP IMO. In fact, I find it a crutial means of balancing Hyper Offense in a post-Ultra Beast meta.
Its pretty predictible which pokemon are going to use it- I've only ever seen it on Chancey, Blissey, Wailord and Guzzlord. (and one very weird rhyperior) Most pokemon, even with worthwhile HP stats are effectively inelligible due to naturally high Defenses- if a pokemon only
mostly KOs an Innards Out pokemon, the whole ability is kinda ineffective.
Is it annoying? Yes- seeing your beautiful sweep killed in a suicide switch-in sucks. But Gen 7 is already proving to be very fast paced, all about getting that one good sweep set up. Innards Out counters this by stopping sweeps without giving your opponent any tangible advantage- you're both down a pokemon, but if you were already able to OHKO a blissey, you probably were at least one-for-one with said pokemon already.
Furthermore, this OM is all about using abilities to their full advantage. A pokemon with Innards Out is going to have any other, more useable-while-not-KOd, abilities, as well as have half their EVs invested in HP. They also basically cannot have any def/spDef investment so as to get the full use of their ability, so you baaically have a squishy tank with attack investment. In a metagame with Tough Claws/Prankster/Poison Heal users...
Its a nerfed pokemon that can end a sweep by dying. A Focus Sash Ize/Ate explosion could probably do the same thing better in the hands of a skilled player.
Innards Out boils down to a 1 for 1 trade or forced switch into something that will take multiple hits to KO it. Meanwhile, the user is punished with a poor EV spread and an ability that isn't useful until it dies.
I don't see that being OP in this meta. I could see some arguing that its maybe a low-skill, newbie tactic, ( Innards Bliss is on my team I should know) but perish trap is also around in this meta and doesn't nerf the user.
