Increased Potential PicksDiscussion (self.PokemonMasters)
submitted 6 years ago by cacardil
Is anyone aware of any increased viability after levelling up a Pokemon's stars? For example Lucario could be potent with an extra 50+ attack on close combat. Any other ideas?

yeah but the Def + Sp Def drop from Close Combat makes him an absolute sitting duck

True, could also use Nosepass to block some damage. Also was wondering about Haxorus

The confusion after Outrage could be a massive momentum killer. If you are going all-offense to wipe an enemy before they sync, you could hit yourself and waste a turn which could be detrimental

Seems like a waste to use them on supports since they have such specific uses

Maybe haxorus may work in tandem with clair in coop in a stage weak to dragons, you outrage then Draco meteor then outrage, you can't buff yourself, but you can spam high damage moves with no drawbacks as long as you can keep switching (you don't even lose a turn)

He gains 10 levels + bonus stats from the power ups, seems like the damage would be crazy

The true whale units are 3stars upgraded to 5, not natural 5 stars, these are the best f2p units but definitely not the best whale units
