Chilly Reception is a good move in singles. It is a slow pivot move, meaning that unlike normal switching which always happens first, you cannot hurt the incoming Pokémon, only the Slowking (which usually has regenerator anyways). It also gets rid of sun, debuffing Protosynthesis pokemon.

16:45 - A hard Quash defender here: Quash is an EXCELLENT move to deal against both super fast (Flutter Mane) or Trick Room (Ursaluna) mons, if used by a Prankster user such as Sableye I've literally managed to reach Master Rank easily with my Sableye using it

7:30 Chilly Reception is REALLY good for Slowking competitively because it allows Slowking to pivot out and gets to heal from Regenerator. And Galarian Slowking ESPECIALLY benefits from this since unlike Slowking it can't learn Teleport due to it not being able to be transferred. And even without Ice types it's worth using because it won't harm your team.

One overlooked move which probably hasn't actually been heard of is Mystical Power (I know it sounds familiar, but you're probably thinking of something else), which is a new signature move for the lake guardians, Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie. It's a 70BP 90% accurate psychic type move which always raises Sp.Atk by one stage, and as it was introduced in PLA, and it sounds similar to other moves, it gets missed pretty frequently, which is a shame, since I think it's pretty cool.

Comeuppance is actually a decent move on Mabosstiff. Because of it's already low speed, and items that can make it even lower, it basically becomes a much better version of payback. It's not the best move it can learn sure, but it never left my movepool lol

Chilly Reception is a great move It allows you to switch at the end of the turn (not exposing the mon you are sending out to attacks) while also setting up snow If you pair it with slush rush, like beartic, you have a nice setup Plus, Slowking's Regenerator ability makes so he benefits tremendously from the pivoting

Axe Kick was actually pretty popular in competitive singles, the unofficial format. Lokix gets Tinted Lens which means it can spam moves without worrying about a resistant switch in. Axe Kick provides nice coverage against Rock types as well as to kill Talonflame which is very meta relevant in the UU tier. Hold Hands was also pretty popular on Charizard in Doubles, when boosted by Normalium Z, it gives you an omniboost, obviously quite useful. Ion Deluge had a very niche use in Gen 6 VGC on Pachirisu, it could get off an Ion Deluge and turn Hydreigon's Hyper Beam into an Electric Move, enabling it to easily OHKO Mega Gyarados.

Hello, Michael! Pokefan here....I think you're missing the singles comp use of Chilly Reception. They removed teleport in Gen 9, which made Slowking relevant again due to teleports negative priority combined with its Regenerator ability. You switch to Skowking. Take a couple of hits and Chilly Reception out to a better match-up, giving you momentum and Regenerator kicks in giving Slowking back 30% of it's hp. It's a way to still have Slowking pivot and setting up snow at the same time. The snow is less important than the pivot.

Rototiller and Gear Up probably boost both attack stats because Game Freak wanted the move to be useful for all Plus/Minus mons and Grass types respectively. As you said, a pokemon typically only cares about one stat. But if, say, Rototiller only boosted Special Attack, then it's even more situational because you can't use it on mons like Trevenant, Sceptile or Zarude.

The funniest fact about "Spotlight" is that in German "Spotlight" is the name of the move "Follow me", so as a German player I was confused that you hadn´t known about the move for a long time.

@neri1220 9 ай бұрын

Spotlight was actually a really cool move that i used back in a day. You COULD target your ally who could be immune to potential attacks, hide behind a sub, being super bulky/resistant or using the move Metal Burst/Counter or Mirror Coat. It could redirect dangerous moves while your ally could heal you while tanking hits. It could also make you ignore redirections from Follow Me (it was anti-follow me basically giving your ally Stallwart or Properell Tail ability for a turn). Considering how common even up to these days the move Follow Me is, i am surprised this move has been removed from the games, instead of being given to MORE pokemon. Because very few pokemon could learn it and i think that was detrimental.

Feel like i need to add this quick note about Chill reception since it was overlooked in that its a) negative priority and b)used to counter weather wars. A big part of doubles is weather teams and pivoting, so while tou could run slowking on a snow team as a setter and pivoter (it also has regenerater) its more likely use is a pivoter and weather contester. While in most cases the snow wont do much, it does remove any active weathers

In Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, a "cold" joke is often used to refer to a joke that has no punchline, or one that fails to get a laugh from its audience. An unamused audience may remark that the room is suddenly cold. A similar joke in the English language is to pretend to only hear crickets respond to a bad joke. An exaggeration of this response in media, particularly in comedies, is to have the room literally become cold as a result of a bad joke. This is why this move creates a snowstorm, and why the user leaves the battlefield, presumably ashamed of its terrible joke.
