How much cud could a cud chewer chew if a cud chewer could chew cud? Only 2 unfort.

Other mons they could've given Cud Chew are Numel line, Skiddo line, Mareep line, and Miltank.

I'd just like to point out that Farigiraf also gets Baton Pass. Even with Cud Chew working the way it was intended, and even without Stored Power, Starf boosts could still wind up extremely useful if you wanted to lean into that (in SV rather than Smogon). You could also just go with a more standard pinch berry and one of Farigiraf's own boosting moves if you wanted something more predictable. Anyway, still totally perplexed by the slots each of Farigiraf's abilities are in. You'd totally expect Armor Tail to replace Inner Focus and Cud Chew to replace Sap Sipper, but nope!

They definitely should have kept this it would've gave people an actual reason to run unnerve

So basically a polteageist could make you eat the berry with teatime and then swap you another berry with trick, so you can cud chew one berry on turn 2 and cud chew again a diferent berry on turn 3

smogon would have banned cud chew recycling the random +2 berry by calling it “essentially moody”

Polteageist: "Who wants to eat a Starf Berry at 100% turn 1?"

I wish I had known about that before it was patched out. Infinite heals with sitrus, that just makes Flare Blitz and Wave Crash super spammable. Only the regular Paldean Tauros would miss out on that since it only gets double edge instead of those moves ( Kanto Tauros would have enjoyed that if it got Cud chew as well)

Cud chew starf berry is so funny

Really interesting mini history and Farigiraf strategy, though may I please ask: where did you find that Harvest is 30%? It definitely used to be 50% and to my knowledge it still is, I even Googled Harvest and 30% and I can't find any source saying it's 30%, at least on the main/typical sources that Google churns out.

Imagine using cud chew for those berries that do damage to the opponents based on whether they used a physical move or special move on your Pokémon depending on the berry.

as a programmer, to me it seems they forgot to put a flag to check if it was activated already or maybe the 'if' statement to check the flag. It's just a few lines of code so it's really weird that they forgot to program it, probably was rushed.

Yo wait even better use tea time in doubles it forces all pokemon to eat there held berry signature move of polteageist

This glitch actually did run pretty rampant for a time on BSS high ladder. Farigiraf w starf cud chew essentially acted as a drawback-less moody. From what I saw people who abused this glitch didn’t go all in on it, but if you managed to get a favorable matchup or even just a lucky roll and starf boosted the right stat, it became ridiculously easy to cheese wins.

It could be interesting in the Almost Any Ability metagame with kicklee: you can use either the salac berry with bulk up, endure, reversal and knock off/poison jab for fairies, which is basically his unburden set but slighty better. Or and endgame sweeper, with the berry that raises his attack stat, with the same set. If set up properly, it can deliver 200 BP reversal with +2 attack, and can even trade bulk up for rapid spin, to be at +1 speed too.

Well, Recoil could be viable with Sitrus Berry Cud Chew, since you always have some damage one you. This might need some other setup, since Liechi Berry isn't an option for an itsm slot of you run Sitrus already.

Salac/Leichi Berry + Endure + Reversal with the Tauros’ would be pretty fun

Man, Nintendo really likes no-fun zones, huh? Even if it was supposedly a glitch, I'd argue that the buffed version is actually more in line with the description - you once again ate the berry, and the ability activates upon eating the berry, so it should activate again. If they're gonna keep the nerfed version, the ability description should specify once per battle, or perhaps a better wording would be once per berry, because I imagine that if the ability has been previously activated, but later in the match a berry gets switched into your held item slot, the ability would trigger again if you ate that berry?

The secret cow/mouse hybrid Pokémon they don't want us to know about: *Cudchu*

If only Farigiraf got Recycle... Truly infinite berries that doesn't use a bug. Its loke that one appletun set all over again but funnier

I didn't know Cud Chew was buffed until I saw WeedleTwineedle's livestream. I thought it always the same 😅

3:07 that's something to berry-n mind 4:32 berry frail

Tbh in doubles I seen someone fling a starf berry on espartha holding weakness policy, use protect after that for a speed boost and swept my team 😭

Edit: I'm stupid, but you could still will o wisp in doubles Sitrus berry could work with buffed cud chew if you gave your farigiraf a flame orb

i think a tauros set that utilized a sitrus berry and a move with recoil could be interesting

This was better than harvest because you cud eat a recovery berry with tauros and a symbiosis partener could swap you a life orb or weaknes policy and you just will cud chew the berry on the next turn while holding another item

Here's a question. I presume the random berry would also break the chain if it tried to boost a stat that can't go any higher. That means that if your luck was bad you could end it with maxed accuracy and attack but nothing much useful.

Farigiraf with the spa boost berry

Could the cud chew chain continue if you switched in and out to force your opponent to damage your chewer?

I had some fun with Cud Chew Farigiraf using Tera Ghost curse with a sitrus berry

That honestly gave me an idea of a cud chew double edge pokemon, but it's a damn shame that it got patched out just because game freak woke up and felt silly

Harvest is 50%

I heard about it, was debating using it with Tauros but it wasnt like harvest. But the glitch/buff made me more curious then it got nerf.

Also maybe skill swap cud chew on a poltigiest with the ability weak armor and the petaya berry and use tea time to trigger the berry while at full hp

Skill swap cud chew onto a Pokémon like greedunt with belch and that one move that gives it a defence boost when consuming a berry especially with the ether a sitrus liechie or salac berry but could also have gone for maybe a petaya berry ti boost belch even more while also boosting your defences via greedunts signature move that gives defence boosts

They should add this version of Cud Chew into Hackmon

Does the starf berry give you the same boost every time Cud Chew activates, or random every time?

They did that patch soo quick I didn’t even notice 🤧😳 soo thanks for this wow cud chew missed out on such viability Currently does cud chew not activate again if you use recycle ?

Aww man. Wish this was still in.

i think i played against you on showdown like a day or two ago i played against a salac berry fling into weakness policy farigiraf stored power

Its crazy that something like shed tail/regenerator is fine for gamefreak, but funny little nibbling nibbling on berrys is a no go.

This video definitely passes the cud chew line. Props to anybody who actually gets this reference

Could you run recycle on Farigaraf?

Well considering it was taken away immediately theres a very simple explanation: it was an accidental Bug that they fixed

Oh, darn it. I wish I could've tried this before it got patched...

Questio.... if you fling a berry into a cud chew mon, would cud chew activate?

Wait right its patched cud chew starf berry tea time would've been so funny

Cud chew could have worked like activating every 1,2,4,8 times and so on

The ability to finish a 6v6… that was nerfed…

1:01 looking like gen 9 randbats

Ðoes anyone know if trick room work on priority moves like dragon tail? As in the priority of the move will be reversed

I use Endure Trailblaze bulk up Liechi Berry Aqua breed

Who knew eating your own vomit would be so busted in the metagame 😂

Weakness berries blocking attacks after protect would be cheese

I think I know WHY they patched this. If the programming on this wasn't done correctly this could lead to using the berry INFINITELY!

Idk if it was a glitch but once I had my Taurus eat it’s berry 3 turns

cud chew... Gesundheit

I like your cud chew

You misspelled glitch.

In my opinion this was needed for raids. It would stay alive forever.

Imagine if you went to eat with like a cousin and when you were at home they vomited what they ate.

Harvest is 50% chance not 30

It goes om in om in om

they shouldve just kept the buff (or glitch) not because it would be fair but because farigiraf and tauros r cool pokemon and deserve it.

Could have sworn harvest was a 50% chance?

Sounds like moody with extra steps lol

UNGULATES LET'S GOOOOOO!

So is it still kinda bad again ?

Too bad the "Cudchewers" don't learn Recycle & my new move "Burp". Burp would be like the move Belch, except, it's 70 power & 100% accuracy. It'd have a 10%-20% chance to poison & wouldn't be affected by using Recycle, Pickup, or Harvest.

Harvest is actually 50% and 100%

I think it might have been a bug

We just doing random glitches now 'kay I see you game freak

thank god, I would've shot myself if another stallmon build became powerful. No worse feeling than getting stalled to death.

Not Foo mansplaining Weedle in a nutshell 😂

Cud chew is just a worse ripen and harvest

Gf did the right thing of nerfing it.

I battled someone that abused this and it was disgusting but they couldn't get passed my gastrodon with clear smog lmaooo, I stalled them and they ended up quitting after another mon came in and gave fargarif another berry it didn't want. Btw f*** costar flamingo, all my homies hate costar

It was 100% a glitch

Should of kept it

Thus is just a joke #Gamefreak nerfs and Buff pokemon bcuz they don't like losing to people smarter than them with their Creations.

“Secret buff” (literally a bug)

The fact that they can patch that so quickly yet we still don't have Home and they do nothing with all the glitchy functions and screen transitions in Raids tells me that they really DGAF about the solo-only and heavy post-game players who spent their hard earned money purchasing this game. It's disappointing. I'm not getting the DLC and I'll probably never buy another Pokemon game on Switch again.

They may as well remove abilities if they're gonna keep nerfing them... pointless... moxie, libero, battle bond non existent... just pointless

Cud chew sucks as its on mostly pokemon without recycle so once its done, thats it. The fact they removed recycle from a lot of berry users is BS, i miss Petaya berry dedenne with parabolic charge, sub, recycle and cheek pouch. This gen has been horrible for nerfs and nerfing stall playstyle. A lot of once viable pokemon are now just useless due to move removal, and we have pokemon that are just too fast and strong that since there isnt much stall anymore, its easy to.steamroll your opponents because every good mon is a glass cannon. This meta has been the most boring and uncreative in any gen. Bring back gen 6! So much variety.

Well yea it was over powered lmao

not a really a buff or a nerf, thats a bug getting past testers and then getting patched lol, misleading title

And they still haven't improved the game's performance hahahaha

The reason was because of Stored Power Cud Chew Starf Berry Farigiraf. And it was unintentional on GF's end. You might call it...a GLITCH. Not a buff to be nerfed, a *GLITCH*. Street Fighter 2 Disease is at it again. I swear, people need to stop treating oversights, glitches, bugs & exploits as "buffs" and "Advanced Techniques" to be exploited to win imaginary swag. Nintendo are assholes about intended uses of their games, for sure...but frankly, this being rushed to be a potential exploit like Marth's Grab Reach or Wavedashing is why sometimes, these things need to be fixed. Because they're NOT meant to be there.

sub protect combat looks so boring what a game
