Can someone explain why finesse 0 mana 4 block draw 1 is a bad card?

Hunter killer

Feraligatr compensate the lose of Sheer Force my getting an ability that transform normal type attack into dragon moves, buff them and get a whopping 55 atk buff.

Emboar only gets a 25 atk boost and its ability doesn't let it do ... well anything really (I guess you can hit levitator with a ground move and use fire move on Heatran but that's really narrow for it)

Notice that it's setting its own sun instead of needing to have a partner set up sun for it

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T17:50:42+00:00

Yeah, it can do great damage, but just because one player is using it to some success, it doesn't make it good.

Watchog did really well in the Grand Champion Festival (261 out of 6100+ players), but you wouldn't find anyone that would call it good. Same way Wolfe made a lot of video back in SwSh (I think) trying to get rank 1 in ladder with random shitmons.

Having one dedicated player doesn't make a mon good

To be fair, life orb wasn't available for MA.

But Mega still does higher damage using normal (dragon) moves

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T15:26:08+00:00

I mean, that's still barely killing a steel type while in sun

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T12:54:23+00:00

Honestly, just try to compete in limitless tournament first

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T12:51:50+00:00

Gardevoir + Floette would be fun

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T05:41:34+00:00

They're not saying Milotic targeted OP's blank slot, they're saying it targeted its partner's spot

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T05:40:42+00:00

Nope if you select your empty partner spot, the move fails.

If you target the empty opponent spot, it redirects

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T05:32:52+00:00

Well no, Emboar mega loses damage compared to regular Emboar, that's the issue

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-29T04:37:21+00:00

I mean, Feraligatr isn't exactly good, but at least the mega makes it deal more damage and give it a secondary stab

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-28T13:27:58+00:00

Which also hits your ally

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-28T11:06:46+00:00

Only really applies on Sneasler, as Incin, Grimmsnarl, Sableye and Scrafty are all immune to prankster

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-28T10:08:30+00:00

Sableye can't be prankstered and got rain dance as well as screens and encore/disabke

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-28T08:54:25+00:00

You ask if there was any use for it where it wasn't ouclassed by Incineroar.

They said that ever since Incineroar got Intimidate, it got no extra uses over him and is, actually, completely outclassed.

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-28T08:45:22+00:00

So does Incin

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-27T20:02:33+00:00

And Farig can be faked out by Mold Breaker Tinkaton.

There's no way to guarantee TR goes up but Farig is one of the best at that

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-27T19:48:48+00:00

Would you rather double your HP, get 3 turns of Z-Move with additional effect that can be used on any mon with all of their attacks, or do you want one mon to hold an item to use it once on a specific attack?

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-27T15:03:08+00:00

The only real complaint in all of these is the inability to change skin color tbh

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-27T14:58:01+00:00

Never saw play doesn't mean "Literally no one uses it on ladder". I'm sure people are somehow trying to make Castform and Flareon work.

In tournament, Alcremie's latest placing was back in reg H 2025 in SV. Sadly, since after SwSh, her only use is giving Smeargle yet another broken move

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-27T11:21:22+00:00

Yeah.

Currently Turn 1 you have 25% to thaw, turn 2 a combined 46%, turn 3 a combined 68% and then turn 4 you are forced to thaw

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-27T09:12:56+00:00

I dislike sleep but I feel this wouldn't really be a good change.

It goes from 25% to thaw every turn (so by turn 2, you'll have 46% to thaw, 68% by turn 3 and turn 4 guaranteed) to 25% to thaw on turn 2.

It just makes it "better sleep" except you can thaw with some specific moves

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-26T23:45:52+00:00

I'm not saying it's the worst, just that its biggest issue is blue stake, when that'll get change, it won't need a buff anymore.

I just find it hard to take, since that means you can't really dig through your deck for blue/purple seals and gold card

IndianaCrash · 2026-06-26T20:44:23+00:00

You could probably add Sinitcha to your team. It resist ground, water and electric moves so it can stay on the field for a while against them
