It's these kind of games that make you wonder whether low elo players are actually real human beings or just bots made my smogon to make showdown look crowded and popular.

You mean, like using flamethrower in heavy rain? Yeah, who would even do that

I hit #30 on Gen7 OU ladder with a disgusting stall team I made earlier today. It's formed around grassy terrain support tapu bulu and alolan marowak

wait, why wasn't the raticate affected by the thunder wave?

did some digging since I didn't know either - looks like Dark types are immune to any prankster status move now

 

from http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-sun-moon-battle-mechanics-research.3586701/ :

 

Dark-type Pokemon are now immune to moves affected by Prankster that target them. (yeah wtf?) (UltiMario) This immunity does not extend to ally Dark-type Pokemon. (OmegaDonut) Prankster Spikes, hazards, weather moves, and Trick Room are not blocked (raikoo)but Prankster Defog is. (UltiMario) Dark-type Pokemon with Prankster will be affected by status moves bounced back with Magic Bounce/Coat. This is the case even if the Magic Bounce/Coat user is Dark-type. (UltiMario) Prankster Assists is blocked by Dark-types even if it calls an attacking move. (raikoo) If a Dark-type uses a status move into a Pokemon with Prankster using Magic Coat, the Dark-type Pokemon will be unaffected by the reflected move. (UltiMario) Video evidence: (raikoo)

Well that's a big change that just flew under the radar.

been messing around with greninja, and I've come to the conclusion that greninja is really fuckin good

alolan marowak keeping that ridiculous z-conversion in check

lel z belly drum is fun, too. Though azu overall feels like deadweight on this team - might swap him with tapu bulu to give my chomp and wak a little passive recovery
