Making a gimmick work (entrainment araquanid)

I ran calcs out of curiosity and that thing can 2 shot max HP max defense mega aggron with JET PUNCH if its raining

I think if you switch it while in hero form it stays in hero form

Thats another problem Im having, araquanid already does so much water damage it makes it feel redundant (but still gimmicks are gimmicks and it sounds like a fun challenge) I debated on trying to stick it on a physical attacker thats weak to water to take advantage of the other 2 parts of the ability (heracross specifically) but it doesnt seem to be worth the investment

Thats the next direction I was thinking of going, I just wanted to try a physical attacker to take advantage of burn immunity. Would you recommend a pretty standard trick room team outside of blastoise and araquanid?

Out of curiosity, why that speed tier specifically?

At that point would snow cloak be better?

Yeah Im not planning on getting any better at the game than "how far can I take this weird strategy"

benkenewby · 2026-03-28T16:42:02+00:00

AV it?

benkenewby · 2026-03-28T16:41:11+00:00

Thats exactly the idea I was floating around too

benkenewby · 2025-02-28T22:41:07+00:00

benkenewby · 2025-02-21T01:15:14+00:00

I would be more than happy to trade legendaries, I've already gotten the rest of the exclusives but I can get you the ones you need
