And Gigalith body fusions could probably also look cool, like imagine Metagross except objectively cooler (I am biased towards Gigalith)

If I were to make a tierlist I'd probably just include the legendaries and UBs anyways

I’m shocked a competitive player put spore immune web setter in F

rain locust

just use espeon galv for that

#

spore is banned btw

stuck bane
#

Oh then that’s fair

That’s probably the biggest crime besides flying type with motor drive

rain locust
#

ppl use no guard hypnosis stuff instead but its just not great

stuck bane
#

Wait is water bubble bad why is araquanid F?

rain locust
#

water bubble would instantly be banned

stuck bane

Fair

the moment araquanid gets actual physical offense is the moment it becomes extremely broken

not as egregious as in nd because no urshifu to abuse surging strikes but still ridiculous

yippee

stuck bane
#

As much as you try to deny it, IF has a showdown side, competitive should have a voice

Also the visual design argument falls apart when you realize sprites are determined by the creativity of the spriter, not the Mon

Thanks for not picking meinshau

Elemental monkey haters will get autism exploded in my head

They would make great head mons

I think Simisage at least would be a good bodymon

I don't dislike the monkeys, but there are many others I would see included over them personally

I think that there should be a version of the tierlist that doesn't include the starters in it since they are confirmed to appear in a future update

Also Plague doctor bunny

Aromatisse Representation as to show that not all of these fusions are bad

is that simipour and bayleaf? or meganium? Either way, kinda cool and cute AF

I know im late with the tierlist but just wanted to do one. S is 3 points, A 2 points, B 1 point, C adds something to the game for me but not worth a point, D completely unintrests me.

Here's some of the designs I did this year. Metang, Eelektross, Mawile, Wobbuffet & Yamask in that order

Golisopod is one of my favorite mons but emergency exit is an ability

Ruined my UM play through

barren lion

yeah emergency exit is a sad ability, especially on a slow speed pokemon

astral oyster
#

My favorite mon can be useful

steel meadow
#

although first impression helps alot

astral oyster
#

True

stuck bane
#

Golisopod might be able to win the special vote if it makes it on, defensive water type with spikes for competitive players, and spritework/getting 2nd place in the spriter vote proves spriters want it too. Very good chance of making it in

high haven
stuck bane
#

But for now, nothing is competing with Slurpuff in the special vote

steel meadow
#

only reason i didnt vote golisopod that high is because i cant for the life of me sprite it myself

also am wondering, is it only 1 pokémon from the entire selection that makes it in the game? or several?

You must be new, welcome to the Pokémon fandom

clear lichen
#

Don't need to be so negative I'm sure you're just overreacting

#

Surely

stuck bane

But in all seriousness delphox isn’t bad, mystical fire and magician fusions, it has reason to be added

btw couragestar if i win another tour ill add mienshao next probably

(I didn't see the image)

barren lion

It’s similar to the vote that cresselia won where a handful of staff did the same voting process and decided on cresselia

high haven
hidden relic
analog stag
#

Every coordinates to vote for each others

eager jungle
stuck bane
#

By that point, frog probably hand picks one from the list

It’s also unlikely that everyone would coordinate like that considering competitive vs spriter (idk if they could possibly be more different) and people want their Mon in so human selfishness kicks in

eager jungle
analog stag
stuck bane
#

Yeah but if everyone is agreeing “vote for all options a 3” it just takes one person to attempt to sabotage that and guarantee their pick makes it in

rain locust
#

alo hate is craaazy youre telling me you dont want this

stuck bane
high haven
#

Ooh, I got it! The winners talk it out. They're put into a seperate room/server/whatever and between them they decide what Mon should get added.

#

Just an idea

Good idea, but there’s this neat highly advanced tech humans invented called “lying”

It loses speed but still keeps its attacking stats, id argue that’s not as bad as a supposed speed turning into only massive HP

analog stag
stuck bane
#

Like, Octillery loses speed, but it still has better attacking stats like remoraid did

#

Besides, no point in really arguing it, gamefreak made their choice, and frog almost certainly won’t cave into the demands of making luvdisc evolve into alo

clear lichen
hollow creek
clear lichen
#

And Luvdisk is neither its kinda just fast shitmon

hollow creek
#

You can count on me to make Alo sprites

clear lichen
#

I doubt they'd make Luvdisk evolve into Alomomola

#

But just saying

#

Also I do think Alo has better offences than Luvdisk

stuck bane
clear lichen
#

God damn I can't stop typing it as Luvdisc

#

I dont even know if its spelt luvdisk or luvdisc

stuck bane
#

Only with a c

clear lichen
#

I'm pretty sure disc is spelled differently in multiple languages

hollow creek
#

a lot of competitive mons just look cool

clear lichen
#

It's so confusing

#

By multiple languages I mean multiple English languages

#

Why do we have multiple Englishes anyways

stuck bane
#

Because communication was difficult in the old days and everyone assumed their way was the correct one

clear lichen
#

I don't feel like worrying whether Armour is spelt Armor or Armour in whatever game I'm playing

#

Whatever

barren lion
#

the way I understand it is, 'armor' is the american way of spelling it, 'armour' is the british way.
Same with a lot of other words that has 'o' or 'ou' as options

stuck bane
#

This too

clear lichen
#

Anyways, Alo is 75/40 while Luvdisc is 30/40

#

I wasn't kidding when I called it a fast shitmon

stuck bane
#

A lot of words have been simplified, some to the point of seeming ironic

barren lion
#

America rebelled and said 'we will live without u' and removed u from a lot of words lol

clear lichen
#

Luvdisc also has higher defences than offences

#

So Luvdisc evolving into Alo would've made sense, but it is what it is

weak trellis
#

incidentally I think most people sitill use alo's 40 special attack anyway because using 30% accurate will-o-wisp generally outclasses any damage the 75's gonna be doing

#

at least prior to gen 7 (?) anyway

silent acorn

Alomo is so good as a standalone It gave luvu the middle finger and said : "NO"

tbh

#

if I did want something in alomola's asthetic ballpark I'd actually vote aromatisse but that's just me

silent acorn
#

People are like luvdisc they just can't accept rejection

weak trellis
#

mostly because it's not a water type rofl

#

actually I'm home RN I may as well make my tier list

stuck bane

#

Just shows Alomo evolved smart whilst Luvdisc swims with farts

Eviolite Luvdisc

weak trellis
#

back, whooo boy that's a tall one

#

real talk I'm bascially fine with anything that isn't in red or maybe orange being added rofl (orange is mostly that we have enough water, normal psychic, rock, flying, and to an extent grass types that don't do anything else notable)

clear lichen
#

Melmetal is Gen 7

#

Not Gen 8

weak trellis
#

I refuse

#

can't go into S/M/US/UM, not gen 7

clear lichen
#

Can go into LGPE

weak trellis
#

(see also: me counting hisuian mons as gen 9)

clear lichen
#

Gen 7

weak trellis
#

I don't count LGPE as a gen 7 game if that makes sense (I see it as the start of gen 8) but I'd rather not get into that debate

clear lichen
#

L:A being a main line game simplifies things even further

#

Hisuian mons are Gen 8

#

Even if they can't be used against other players there

#

Pokemon GO being a spinoff makes the Melmetal debate actually exist

weak trellis
#

but yea to elaborate on some things

clear lichen
#

Also Kommo-O is up for voting even if people want to vote a 0 for it for being the 12th non legendary Dragon line because we almost have the max number of dragons, which I still find a dumb argument

#

Or would it be the 11th?

weak trellis
#

castform gets undermined a bit by spriters having to account for all forms and not having a sandstorm form
Vanilluxe and Abomasnow are basically the same reason I'm not sure why I didn't put them both there as hail setters
Endgame crustle is an absolute hellspawn but at least I'll only have to fight them in randos?
I'm not sure how addable the ultra beases are but I ranked them as I normally would

clear lichen
#

Idk I forgot

weak trellis
#

I put kommo-o there because I figured it'd get in at some point rofl

#

also the only difference between silvally (worse arceus) and purugly (worse but faster snorlax)'s placements is that I actually like the latter rofl

clear lichen
#

I guess you don't want to fight Gigalith because its 2 non HAs are Sand Stream and Sturdy?

weak trellis
#

...I forgot it even got sand stream ROFL

clear lichen
#

It didn't in Gen 5

#

And it's probably the worst of the Sand Stream mons in battle

#

Buuuutttt I am biased towards it

#

So it's my favourite of the 3 anyways

weak trellis
#

my bias there is mostly against tyranitar for being a filthy 600 BST cheater with an extra 1.5x special defense boost

#

so if either hippo or lith get in I'd appreciate

clear lichen
#

Fun fact: My opinions of the Sand Stream mon is completely opposite of how good they are in battle

#

With Gigalith as my favourite of the 3 and Ttar as my least favourite of the 3

weak trellis
#

I mean gigalith feels servicable for what it's worth

clear lichen
#

They're all solid Pokemon though

weak trellis
#

I like hippo the most since it feel like it was designed with sand stream in mind but giga's also decent

clear lichen
#

In terms of how much I like them but I cannot stress enough that Gigalith is trash in Competitive

weak trellis
#

also I'm gonna move eelek since I just remembered that rotom heads exist rofl

clear lichen
#

Hippowdon is definitely designed with Sand Stream in mind its official art is it completely surrounded by sand

analog stag
#

I hope someone adds Minior to the 2nd vote

weak trellis
#

(just down to "not like but good fusions")

clear lichen
#

And it also constantly talks about how it starts sandstorms

#

It also is the only Sand Stream mon to start with Sand Stream

analog stag
#

Minior has a lot of potential with all the colors

clear lichen
#

Ttar got it in Gen 3 with the introduction of abilities

weak trellis
#

yea my absolute top pick is crabrawler/crabdominable but I can support anything in top

clear lichen
#

Gigalith got it in Gen 6 iirc

idle owl
#

when cinderace tho?

even if vikavolt gets smacked a bit by how (understandably) late eviolite is for charjabug

I just heard about Pachirisu making another showing at worlds this year ashGiggle

weak trellis

since I legit what else gets it in vanilla

Illumise has Tail Glow tied to it I think

weak trellis

also yea I did see that. pachirisu usually means that electric types are popping off hard

clear lichen

#

(I think Miraidon and Iron Hands this time)

clear lichen

Apparently VGC players thought Miraidon would be dogshit

#

Which is hilarious to someone who plays Singles

Because it's arguably the most broken Pokemon not named Calyrex Shadow Rider

But that’s 4 legendaries Frog has to figure out what to do with

clear lichen
#

Tapus would look cool and hand over their surge abilities

Idk why Buluboom is included there and not Tapu Rilla though

tapus also add four fairies and the ability to give koko and bulu some play rough so good on them

grave jolt

WAIT HANG ON

Oh that’s a good idea

moved them up to unique because of the surge abilities

I will not stop joking about Tapu Bulu being inconceivably worse than Rillaboom you can't make me

(swapped with heatran since you can make steel + flash fire anyway via other fusions)

it's true though

I love the way they're designed

And peak backstory

Wo-Chien is unfortunately Grass/Dark

They went from being ambiguous to being definitely not legendaries

They are filtered by the legendary filter.

The closest Pokemon to them are the Paradoxes, which are also not legendaries unless you include Koraidon and Miraidon

I have both the 2 games they are in, as well as HOME

grave jolt
clear lichen
#

Yeah so it's under special Pokemon

Seems simple enough to me

If they were Legendaries, they wouldn't have to specify "other special Pokemon"

They may be as strong as some of the weaker legendaries in terms of BST

But mechanically, they are not legendaries

It really seems they're their own category, and I still hate them regardless.

That feels like a whole lot of pedantry quite bluntly.

I realize sarcasm is hard to convey over text but i thought that was a fairly well known meme at this point.

clear lichen
#

Yeah but most people say it unsarcastically

#

Because a good portion of people really just don't read about what they're talking about

#

Obviously not literally everyone but still

#

It is a meme but it's also not entirely untrue, is what I'm saying

#

But yeah TLDR Ultra Beasts are cool, I guess this is opinion based but they have objectively done nothing to hurt the franchise in any way

#

Which you can't really say about some other additions

#

cough cough Baby Pokemon cough cough Mega Evolutions of terrible Pokemon that should've gotten an evolution

quaint mauve
#

If we're considering mainline games the biggest contender for long term damage is the mega evolution system, because now those pokemon cant get a base form buff without the mega being suspect.

Because Ultra Necrozma got thanos snapped

Also do people even use Necrozma in VGC

Necrozma is a top tier Pokemon in terms of design IMO

Though once again that's opinion and there's 0 point arguing over it

Hello Milian

glossy jewel
#

hllo

clear lichen
#

Blacephalon is probably extremely dangerous on accident

#

That's what I imagine

glass patio
# glass patio …huh

so if this is true then ok so if you don’t like minior you are simply wrong 👍

grave jolt
#

the watermark is still on the image lmao

rain locust
#

necrozma is fine in dex ou maybe even kinda mediocre

clear lichen
#

Like Blacephalon doesn't really mean any harm

rain locust
#

necrozmium goes hard in theory but in practice psychic is quite bad as a type

clear lichen
#

Ultra Necrozma and NDM are good

rain locust
#

also forces you to run photon which is real bad if ur using it as head

quaint mauve

clear lichen
#

NDW is too strong in OU but outclassed by Lunala and NDM in Ubers

glossy jewel
rain locust
#

ubs would def powercreep the tier rn even if i like them

clear lichen

NDM in particular is cruel since species clause prevents the usage of NDW

Actually tbf Kartana probably would be banned, Tera fixes its problems

#

Psychic is effectively a worse version of fairy these days.

clear lichen
#

It's poor offensively and defensively without many standout factors

rain locust
#

are you talking about gen 9 or fusions

#

i thought this convo was about the hypothetical of adding ubs to fusions

clear lichen
#

I would definitely like UBs in IF it'd be funny

#

Kartana would probably be the most broken I'd imagine

grave jolt

Because it just loses the one weakness it struggles with the most

#

UBs are technically not legendaries but may as well be

glossy jewel
clear lichen
#

UBs are quicker to type so I distinguish between them for that reason

glossy jewel
#

they fall under the same category

#

of being "unique"

quaint mauve
#

Ultra beasts are legendary in all the ways that matter. there being more than one of them is just lore.

rain locust
#

blacephalon instant ban bc zam/nidoking exist
xurkitree instant ban bc 173 spa with tg
kart instant ban bc 181 atk with sd
pheromosa probably instant ban bc 137/137/151 offenses with qd
naganadel probably instant ban bc plot + beast boost
buzzwole/staka might warp the def meta idk
nihilego would be bad
celesteela would be uh mediocre

#

did i forget any

grave jolt
clear lichen
quaint mauve
#

... the legendary bird trio aren't legendaries

clear lichen
#

But this is a dumb argument because let's be honest they're as strong as a legendary anyways

glass patio
#

does strong always have to equal legendary

#

i dont think it should be like that

clear lichen

Pseudo Legendaries are as strong as some of the strongest sub-legendaries in BST

Hi!
I’m not sick any more

Anyways
Clauncher

clear lichen
#

So either this is not entirely accurate, HOME isn't entirely accurate, or it doesn't fucking matter

#

Because they're basically the same thing anyways

quaint mauve
#
  1. Didn't ask to be pinged there.
  2. Can we just agree home was probably put together by a egg carton full of interns?
clear lichen
#

I just like arguing slight semantics

glass patio
#

ubs aren’t legendaries problem solved 👍

grave jolt
#

It's the list used for comp restrictions

clear lichen
#

That are meaningless

exotic steppe
#

It seems like I have arrived in the middle of a very… interesting argument….

clear lichen
#

Yeah pretty much

exotic steppe
#

You all have fun with this I guess

I’m going to go

clear lichen
#

Hey wait actually why do they just ban all legendaries but not like Pseudos

stuck bane
clear lichen
#

Pseudos have stats extremely close to legendaries

glass patio
#

pseudos are different

#

man you really like to argue about minimal things

clear lichen
#

You can't say "oh Psuedos are generally worse" either

#

Because like

#

Articuno

#

Legendary Beasts

grave jolt
#

it's simple: they look like legendaries, they act like legendaries, and Gamefreak treats them like legendaries.

clear lichen
#

Legendary Titans

#

They're terrible yet they're still banned anyways

quaint mauve
#

goodra has a higher bst than most of the ultra beasts. Its just not hyper specialized towards one stat

glass patio
#

look it’s probably because even if ubs arent legendaries you cant just put them in the wild there has to be something special for them

clear lichen
#

Yknow what I probably shouldn't question it

glass patio
#

but you can put pseudos in the wild

clear lichen
glass patio
#

hol up

clear lichen
#

It sucks but they're worse

#

And Goodra is the worst Pseudo by a long shot

quaint mauve
#

Didn't Stak have a niche in doubles anyways?

clear lichen
#

Well in Singles I'm not sure about Doubles,

glass patio
clear lichen
#

And ik Stakataka is good in Doubles

#

But Guzzlord definitely isn't

glass patio
#

wait r we talking about pvp or what

#

i dont think i understand

#

am i dumb

clear lichen
#

Yeah we're talking PVP these are competitive level restrictions

#

For Doubles

#

AKA VGC

glass patio
#

…oh

#

yes im dumb

#

ignore what i said

quaint mauve
#

I gave up trying to understand the topic a while ago, im just posting here while trying to duct tape an Oath of Ancients Paladin together

clear lichen
#

If they're banning all Pokemon with that level of BST then why would Pseudos not be banned as well?

#

It's not like they have a restriction on them like something akin to Slaking or Wishiwashi

#

They just have that high BST

grave jolt
#

and ursaluna

quaint mauve
#

Pseudos evolving as late as they do is supposed to be their restriction, to be fair.

clear lichen
clear lichen
#

Like what's the reasoning for banning Legendaries if it isn't BST?

#

Availability I guess?

grave jolt
#

GF wants to see how a restricted-less meta plays.

clear lichen
#

We've had no restricted metas in the past

quaint mauve
#

Perish Song memes id imagine

clear lichen
#

So it's not like this is new for them

#

Though I doubt the weaker legendaries are restricted

#

Either ways I don't see mf Regirock anywhere

#

So I don't know for sure

quaint mauve
#

I mean, thats less its fault and more the fact rock moves are, to limited exception, not perfectly accurate.

clear lichen
#

Rock Slide is great in Doubles though

viscid fossil
#

The one good rock move we have is barely on 10% of pokemon who would want it

clear lichen
#

So you'd expect Regirock to see some usage in Doubles if anywhere

grave jolt
#

oh right, I forgot they also banned the totally-not-legendary-pokemon in the Paradox and Ruins

clear lichen
#

Ruins are definitely legendaries

rain locust
#

stakataka would be a top tier fusion fodder

clear lichen
#

Paradoxes are definitely not though, I'd say this is backing proof that Paradoxes and UBs are both technically not legendaries

rain locust
#

it shows in nd

clear lichen
#

But still treated as such due to their high stats

#

Stakataka would go from dogshit to broken so fast when entering Infinite Fusion

#

NO MORE ROCK/STEEL TYPE YIPPEE

grave jolt
#

The height of Fluttermane being 90% usage shows why it's a bad idea ashGiggle

clear lichen
#

I hate that bitch

#

None of the Paradoxes except like Bundle in Singles are quite as broken

quaint mauve
#

... I know that emote from somewhere.

grave jolt
#

The Paradox pokemon are basically Mythicals under a different name.

clear lichen
#

But Flutter Mane gets to be broken in 2 formats instead of 1

#

How about mf Brute Bonnet

#

Why is he terrible in 2

rain locust
#

how to make pidgeot instantly decent 101

clear lichen
#

While Flutter gets to be broken in 2

quaint mauve
#

55 speed 7 weaknesses?

molten latch
#

Morning everyone.

clear lichen
rain locust
#

nvm noivern just edges it out back to f tier it goes

grave jolt
#

Would Stakataka/Gardevoir just be that one princess from the game Slay the Princess? 🤔

clear lichen
#

And make Flutter Mane absurdly broken with 135 SpA 135 Speed and the best offensive type combo in the game

#

Except maybe something like Ghost/Normal for neutral hits

#

Or maybe Ghost/Fighting?

rain locust
#

waiit a minute noivern doesnt have brave bird

#

pidgeot wins again

clear lichen
#

Noivern isn't a bird Crobat isn't real

quaint mauve
#

Flutter mane being popular would just bring scizor back to meta comps

#

because bullet punch is a thing that exists

clear lichen
rain locust
#

bring back pursuit fr

clear lichen
#

Or predicting the switch with Mystical Fire and wiping Scizor from this plain of existence

quaint mauve
#

its still 55/55 taking a tech-stab priority move.

Scizor's no Ferrothorn

#

Obviously it OHKOs what I'm saying is that it is easily played around

252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Fire Flutter Mane: 113-134 (45 - 53.3%) -- 35.2% chance to 2HKO

#

It's just a line from a meme song parody, "more usage than you"

clear lichen
#

I've been considering learning Gen 7 Ubers to kill time while waiting for Gen 10

#

Mainly because I'd get to use Lunala without it being balls

#

Idk who at Gamefreak made Ghost types untrappable but thank you I shall now swap out against Mega Gengar threatening to blast me into non existence

#

... is what I would say if Lunala wasn't the GOAT

#

252 SpA Gengar-Mega Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 12 SpD Shadow Shield Lunala: 300-354 (72.2 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

#

Shadow Shield gaming

#

(Ignore the fact that Stealth Rocks exist)

#

Lunala would probably be obscene in IF actually

#

Shadow Shield gives it a free turn and it can shed its quad weaknesses to Ghost and Dark

#

Finally, Fairy/Ghost Lunala

rain locust
#

would def be a p solid ag pick

#

cause moongeist beats sheds

clear lichen
#

Or Ghost/Normal whatever

high haven
#

Does the order matter?

rain locust
#

its an option but its weak to stuff like toxic and pursuit

clear lichen
#

Also simply just set up Stealth Rocks fr

clear lichen
#

Because idk if it is Bug/Ghost or Ghost/Bug

#

It doesn't matter tbf

high haven
#

Pretty sure it's bug/ghost

quaint mauve
#

I'm gonna say bug/ghost for the sake of its evolution line.

clear lichen
#

It only matters if you need to fuse with a dual typed Pokemon with Normal type

quaint mauve
#

nincada's bug/rock

clear lichen
#

But just fuse with Slaking or Regigigas or something

quaint mauve
#

or, ground. whatever

clear lichen
#

Damn you corrected yourself before I corrected you

#

It's so over for me

#

I am gonna be executed for my sins now

#

Xerneas/Lunala with Geomancy would be so funny actually

rain locust
#

slaking/regigigas are not good

#

this is though

clear lichen
#

Ah, Endeavor strats

rain locust
#

with uturn/bp/wisp as other options in last slot

clear lichen
#

I forgot those existed

#

Would the game actually allow the fusion to go above 1 HP?

rain locust
#

no it sets it to 1 hp

clear lichen
#

I'd assume not

quaint mauve
#

Willo-the-wisp

clear lichen
#

Anyways, simply bring out a Ghost type, click Stealth Rock then click Roar frfr

rain locust
#

shed teams always load magic bounce

clear lichen
#

Simply use Lunala fusion and Moongeist Beam fr

high haven
#

Wonder Guard is already busted as is on a Mon with 1 HP, adding any more would be ludicrous

rain locust
#

before regigigas got mold breaker shed was major king in the meta

clear lichen
#

That's why we need Lunala in the game trust

#

Solgaleo works too, Sunsteel Strike can't even be negated by any type

rain locust
#

its still v good but not as much anymore

clear lichen
#

So no Shedinja shenanigans on its watch

rain locust
#

shed would just go to the steel resist anyway

#

fat water or even just imposter

clear lichen
#

Or you mean as a teammate

rain locust
#

no i mean the player using shed would switch out shed into the steel resist

clear lichen
#

So you mean as a teammate

rain locust
#

yeah

clear lichen
#

See, that's why hazards are used

#

Force switches force chip

#

Simply uhh

#

KO magic bounce user fr

rain locust
#

riight

clear lichen
#

Actually just say "Agency Agency" and use Stealth Rock on the Magic Bounce user switching out

#

Simple

#

Idk how much I like the idea of using Shedinja since if you don't keep hazards off your field Shedinja is worthless

#

And even after that you still need to play cautious of status

#

Or the 1 type that hits you for SE

#

Or Mold Breaker

#

But those problems aren't as bad in IF due to being able to cut the number of weaknesses to 1

#

And also due to magic bounce not being exclusive to bad mons anymore

#

Alongside hazard clearing

#

Which always existed

#

Ferrothorn no diffs fr

#

Leech Seed W

finite thistle
#

Tauros is actually faster, so he works better for any Endeavor strats

rain locust
#

its actually better to be slow so the opp ends with 1 hp last

#

to get priod the next turn

#

so ig igglybuff is the best? lol

finite thistle
#

Yeah, that's a good point. Was thinking about it in terms of getting it off, but being slower does avoid heal stalling

rain locust
#

yeah exactly

#

too fast means opp can just spam recover
