How doomed would the series be if pokemon had more than one slot for held items?
>>59137019Bro imagine how cracked it would be to have scarf and choice specs
>Focus Band + Safety Goggles Shedinja
>>59137019Look at pokeabilty excadrill if you want an example of what it can happen
>>59137019>Galarian Darmanitan gets both a Choice Scarf and effectively TWO Choice Bands

>>59137019Gee Galarian Darmanitan why did Gamefreak let you have THREE items?
>>59137069Regidrago looking around hoping people don't realize he essential has 4 items
>>59137019Megas and the Primordials would be the biggest issue, though only in NatDex. A lot of them would get B&. Especially GroudonStallmons would love not having to choose between boots and leftiesSR weak mons would love being able to hold something other than bootsLife Orb would get way better since lefties would cancel out its downsideArceus would be insane. It's already arguably the most versatile mon in the game (sans Smeargle), without a forced item slot it could pretty much do anything
>>59137095Speaking of Arceus I Want him to be VGC tournament legal just to see the kinds of bullshit people can come up with
>>59137103He was on cart last year. Espeed was really bad into flutter mane or csr but there was a water arceus with cosmic power that was a bit like mini terapagos and a good laddering team with hyper voice + throat spray. The best thing he does is surprise you with what set it is, rather than do something better than anyone else, which works great in bo1 ladders but not as well in a tournament. Magearna was pretty good with stuff like scarf final gambit ape + trick room on teams with calyrex ice. Mew had a fun pledge set (again, gimmicky so great on ladder), av meloetta was ok, and probably the most fun team I used was a deoxys life orb one that ran knock off, super power, and psycho boost. There was a deoxys-d pech stall team, but I never used it and it seemed really bad when I played against it. I saw a manaphy baton pass tail glow team sheet but never even encountered it.

>choice specs >toxic orb >switcheroo on enemy support or tank Pokemon This is evil
>>59137019Almost every offensive Pokemon would run Double Choice items. Either Scarf+Band/Specs or double Band/Specs. Your damage output would be x2.25, so even resistances would still net you more damage than neutral hits without them.The metagame then centralizes around Choice items since even the bulkiest of Pokemon faulter.+1 252+ SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Sun: 627-738 (96.1 - 113.1%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
