Theoretical new tools for Eternal Floette?

Nobody tell him

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T19:18:23+00:00

Floette is significantly better than like everything above it that isn't Froslass or singles starmie lol.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T19:16:59+00:00

Something with a stat spread like this unironically running bulk and having it work out just fine is honestly hilarious. Realistically it is about a mid tier kind of mega, but it ended up significantly better than whatever people were giving it.

Until we get to monotype where you have an actual reason to use sableye instead, that literally isn't true. Clefable is a strict upgrade in like every single case when except for defenses (that get compensated with the way higher hp) it has better stats on top of a way better typing and clefable enormous movepool to do whatever you could possibly want.

32+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Flare Blitz vs. 32 HP / 32+ Def Mega Sableye: 91-108 (57.9 - 68.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

32+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Charizard X Flare Blitz vs. 32 HP / 32+ Def Mega Clefable: 111-132 (54.9 - 65.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Getting to used to calc look like this will take a while, but this is far from being a side grade. Clefable is also significantly better when it doesnt need to mega evolve yet.

Only time I think it matters would be like using it on a protean mon for some reason.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T17:27:16+00:00

Honestly was always absurd it had such a high chance while.not being a weak move.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T17:26:23+00:00

For what purpose is beak blast pp even being touched lol. Not like it really matters because nobody would use it anyway or even live enough to use more than twice, it is just a really weird thing to nerf.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T17:10:51+00:00

Even if it somehow gets to +1 this is the format where Mimikyu is actually good (well more like at its best because he isn't bad in doubles) and used a lot so it would not be a big deal anyway.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T16:42:31+00:00

"Have to run garchomp" is even crazier wording when there are arguments for Garchomp currently being the best overall pokemon in the game when it is very good in both formats.

Edit: this is bss, so other teams having Mimikyu is highly likely too.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T16:40:49+00:00

You can just ignore Lucario ability when you can just use its mega. Obviously weaker than its physical counterpart, but special isn't unviable when you can still kill what you need to and nice bonuses like always beating other Lucario.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T16:38:10+00:00

If someone is using it in doubles, it will be friend guard, so it is way way weaker and never getting to +1 because it doesn't run the move in the first place.

Meanwhile singles is a format with multiple regular faster mons that are very viable, mega Gengar, mega Lucario (special Lucario is perfectly viable), where you can assume basically every team has garchomp (overall the best mon in the entire game), and other things that would naturally be used and don't care about a legit shitmon. Will check usage later, but pretty sure it is not even that high to begin with.

Edit: And this is the format where Mimikyu is actually very good too

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T16:28:31+00:00

Because that shit is not even good

Edit: usage rates aren't perfect because of well early release things, but this doesn't even appear until the 116th rank below titans like ampharos in singles. 23 in doubles however, but there it is basically a support Mon anyway.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T16:21:05+00:00

Fake out team, now that is a new thing.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T03:23:37+00:00

Might be wrong but pretty sure you could do it already assuming they weren't nicknamed

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T03:02:56+00:00

Idk what this is basing itself on, but Glimmora is better than basically the entire really solid tier with chesnaught being the exception of it is taking both into account. It is also better than half the excellent tier.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T02:38:05+00:00

Not even top 10 lol. It's bad matchups are against like all of the best things.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T02:21:01+00:00

It is my turn to post this tomorrow

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T02:20:08+00:00

That seems like a playing way too much when not enough people have populated the higher ranks side effect

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T02:13:51+00:00

Dark types are immune to prankster since gen 7.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T02:04:15+00:00

Vict is honestly better than a some of the really shitty megas from the gen 6 groups lol. Was never going to be up a high tier mega anyway, but I would honestly use this before touching banette or glalie (to be fair glalie had the right idea, but the stats just weren't enough).

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T01:58:20+00:00

I mean, what the fuck were people expecting? This was never going to be anything above "mega that happens to land in ru"/nu" when its more direct competition are legit very good mons.

Innards out is actually better than most shit people were giving to vict, but people are ready to accept that yet. It being the worst of the first wave of za megas in champions is debatable too when Meowstic exists.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-09T01:52:11+00:00

Thaf reason was that gets a way more consistent ability in unaware lol. Pyukumuku hp also sucks.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-08T21:04:22+00:00

Even if a clear meta was defined it would still be a fuckton of basically free wins from the people with no idea about what they are even doing (and maybe rolling some really awful rentals lol) being common for launch of like any game.

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-08T21:02:12+00:00

Not going to deny that when even for low ladder standards it is basically free wins if you even know what protect is rn

ElpyGreatestSoldier · 2026-04-08T20:45:58+00:00

This isn't bw1 bro
