its ability is a liability, trading 3 weaknesses for 6 (and one of those weaknesses being x4) (i was looking at the already inverted table and then applied the ability to that, what a dumb mistake), has underwhelming all around stats and movepool, outside of a sd set this doesn't really add much to its team.
boring and strong, it works, i don't see it as broken, its just boring, if i vote for it is out of having nothing else to vote on.
Bulky water with recovery and hazards, lacks regenerator so its not as lame as it could be, i love it.
while i agree with the "i'd just use kingtsar" stance of other posters i think on the long run this can achieve a niche of its own, its ability to check better grass types and sleep powder/leech seed from non-grass types fusions on the meta will be apreciated, however its lack of a fire stab doesn't really help it much, its a weak pick overall but i don't hate it.
Ghost abundance aside, i love this, i'm ok with this being a grass poison but i guess we can't do that, its fine as either a defensive or offensive mon and its stabs + earthquake do great vs most pokemon in the meta but this doesn't feel overwhelming
While i love the ability and both of these pokemon the combination of spore and magma storm/fire fang/will o wisp worries me a lot, the main way of dealing with spore is grass types, misty surge users, electric surge users, and overcoat pokemon, and all but a koko or fini fusion (that has to resist/be neutral vs fire/grass/steel while not worrying about burns, a fire fairy could work but beware of stealth rock) suffer in a horrible way vs this thing, it can't even check itself so if this wins we will need overcoat pokemon or something like the previously mentioned tapu fusion with a very specific set of resistances to stop it from being a free spore into sweep pokemon, so while i love the design of this thing i find it worrying/borderline/broken not because of its ability or stats but because of its movepool so this is something that we can't just nerf like grimmlurk.
Its cool, immunity to most status and its combination of stats type and movepool its decent, its not weak, its not shining, its just right, i'd like to comment that it doesn't feel like a slowton counter since a single hydro pump or ice beam after some chip its all it takes to get rid of it, yes.
this is disappointing, pikachu can be min maxed into a better attacker than that, sure dumb volt take go brr, if it doesn't work out in the real games, there is no chance of it working here even with the better speed tier, this is a hard pass to me, the basculin at least would get usage here.
take the above breloom sub and replace fire coverage concern with belly drum mach punch concern, overall this is the least broken of the 2 and i like it a lot, but its rather nasty after a boost, our ghosts aren't particularly safe and i can see this run bdrum + sitrus berry + thief to hit ghosts types, feels borderline too but i don't feel as much fear.
parting shot, stealth rock, knock off, earthquake, predictable, good, love the behemoth looking design, yes.
