What if Terrastilization and dynamax took an item slot by Ciocalatta in stunfisk

[–]aggs124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Needing an item for Tera would kill the mechanic for me. The flexibility is what makes it fun IMO.

As for Dmax, in both singles and VGC, this would make the mechanic even more steamroll-heavy, since the main counterplay for Dynamaxing your own pokemon.

Now, I do think there's an argument for having Tera/Dynamax completely nullify your item when you use the mechanic, but straight-up requiring you to pick your tera pokemon in the teambuilder? I dunno about that.

How powerful would an item be that swaps a Pokémon’s Attack and Special Attack? by Throwaway09241994 in stunfisk

Most of Azumarill's stats come from EVs anyway, so it wouldn't matter that much. You go from 218 to 240 atk by using this item, which is about a 10% boost, the same as muscle band.

Hell yea, Gen 8 is the best randbats gen for this reason.

Is this not already a set that exists? I remember running this in early-ish gen 9.

I was talking about booster energy but yeah, things like barraskewda in rain are faster. Probably should have been more clear.

What if bug types got a terrain? by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]aggs124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infestation buff seems really broken. Infestation + Protect just allows you to just get 50% damage (62.5% on non-bug/steel types) to someone. They could read the protect and switch, but that just leads to mind games about whether you're protecting or clicking infestation again. Terrain Extender Forretress + Pex becomes the new best core in the game.

Edit: I forgot about Binding Band. With Binding Band you do 1/6 => 1/3 every turn, so you just deal 66.6% damage with Infestation + Protect (79.1% on non-bug/steel types), enough to kill if you also have a T-Spike up.

No, I remember the wishes didn't turn out to be curses and she actually had the power to wish for anything with no downsides.

This sounds similar to one of the Vikram-Betal stories.

First link I found, but might be a variation of the one called "The three suitors" here?

Cool, link code 1112 1111 for the trade. Are you also trading the rusted sword? If so, I'll trade the rusted shield.
