I’ve been using Brambleghast on my VGC teams since Regulation B, namely to counter Pokémon like Annihilape, Flutter Mane, and Dondozo, but it also helped against Pokémon like Ting Lu in Regulation C. I first ran it on a Rain team with a bulky Pelipper who would set up Tailwind, which helped with the aforementioned Dondozo. Then I ran it as a lead with Gale Wings Talonflame, and in each series since I started playing in B it’s been a really reliable Pokémon. Flexible? Not really. Reliable? Absolutely. Now that it has Poltergeist I’m really excited to see where it’ll go.

@fatyoshi696 8 ай бұрын

About articuno never being good, it was actually decent in gen 1 where ice types were actually pretty good thanks to blizzard being 120 base power and 90 accuracy, the types that would check it being significantly worse (both relevant rock types were also ground type making them ice weak, fire and fighting were really bad and steel didn't exist), and freeze being 100% permanent making their freeze immunity actually relevant. Articuno's stab blizzard is also (iirc) the single strongest unboosted special attack in the game, allowing it to 2hko tauros which is a notable feat, and while there are things that can switch into it pretty well most of them are terrified of the freeze, so you can use it as a big bulky beatstick that also has a chance of landing a freeze ohko. It's definitely not a top tier option but it's solid and quite fun to use

@nathanrailsback9667 8 ай бұрын

Yep, I ran it in a Pokemon Stadium mall tournament back in the day, and it only lost in the finals match where it came down to it versus Dugtrio. We both knew if Dugtrio missed, Articuno would win, while if it hit...my Articuno was ridiculously bulky, as I EV-trained the hell out of its HP and Defense back before I really knew that was a thing, just getting it from level 50 to 51 on low-level pokemon. It might have actually taken it. But he crit with Rock Slide, so GG.

@iantaakalla8180 8 ай бұрын

For some strange reason, in Gen 8 UU, Articuno was also good as stall because there were plenty of good Water/Grass/Dragon types that it could hit with Freeze Dry, and it was somehow appropriately bulky such that it could use Heal Bell.

In my opinion, Pachirisu was actually an incredible choice on Se Jun Park's part. Redirection was a rare trait, and would need to be used as support and disruption, which is Pachurisu's strength. Being able to use Follow Me in a metagame exclusive the the Kalos Regional Dex, and also being able to use Paralysis-inflicting moves like Nuzzle and Thunder Wave is a plus.

10:16 Articuno (and honestly the 3 legendary birds) could easily make good use of weather setting abilities. Give Articuno snow warning, Zapdos drizzle, and Moltres drought. Removing pressure (so they keep their HAs) would let them be more flexible options and let Moltres and Articuno have solid teambuilding considerations, while still keeping their original identity. Plus it just makes sense based off the lore of the birds, since they're signs of the seasons changing.

Mega metagross with max attack and hp, took so many people off guard. As for smogon OU, hehe nasty plot go brr. The choice band set was the most awful sets to use. But my favorite set was trollbat, timid, with just enough speed to outspeed base 110 pokes with and the rest in bulk. Moveset of toxic/taunt/roost/BB. imagine a tank that outspeeds you and watches ypu slowly die. Man i was evil when i was younger... (Yes i did try mean look over BB, but een without attack investment, i still found it way more useful on a team)
