If they want him to be a counter-attacking tank so badly, why doesn't he have a sustain move like Recover/Slack Off?Personally, I think he would do better with Prankster and support moves.
>>59305320Prankster removes his entire gimmick as a counter punching bag. He needs shadow tag to fulfill that function. Recovery would probably be fine though. That and taunt.
>*poke*
>>59305320you don't want this thing with prankster. We got to see a Wobbuffet with no shadow tag in gen 2 and surprise surprise it's pretty useless. When the movepool is so predictable you can just switch in to any pokémon with setup moves and set up 6 times in front of it if you decide to stay in and keep trying your counter shenanigans.
Who the fuck sets up on wobbuffet, enjoy your encore.
>>59305320Prankster nullifies Counter/Mirror Coat's negative priority and thus allow them to be used before opponent will hit you. And obviously that's fail.Give it moody to punish opponent switching around and make Smogonities seethe.
>>59305320Slack Off is reserved for monkey- and gator-themed pokemon
I'd say it'd be neat to give it a signature ability that taunts any pokemon that switches into it at the cost of all of it's moves being -1 priority. sure it fucks with destiny bond but that's okay to me.
>>59305571That's only an issue with trapping, without it it's just really bad pseudophazing on wob
>>59305892?
>>59306027Sand gator
>>59306036Psychic gator?
wobbuffet is the most fun mon to use ingame by a significant margin
>>59306062Wobbuffet is the mon I pull out when I get stuck and don't feel like grinding.
>>59306050Two gators even
>>59305320Even with just Recover I think people will Toxic a Pokemon then switch in Wobbuffet to sit there and heal until the designated target dies like how Dugtrio was used to remove threats with Arena Trap
>>59305320I would give it Night Shade
>>59305867Who cares if it racks up boosts with moody when it has no offensive moves? Getting an evasion boost doesn’t help that much since it needs to get hit to use counter or mirror coat.
>>59306191Moody no longer gives Accuracy or Evasion.
>>59305320>If they want him to be a counter-attacking tank so badlyThey don't. He's based around those dumb ass inflatable toys that bounce back after being hit. They just want something that gets smashed into the ground once, bounces back up for a single retaliatory hit, then explodes on the return.
>>59305867>Prankster nullifies Counter/Mirror Coat's negative priority and thus allow them to be used before opponent will hit youCounter and Mirror Coat have -5 priority, moron. The only moves with -4 priority are Revenge and Avalanche, so those are the only instances in which Prankster boosting Counter and Mirror Coat's priority would matter.
>>59307796Counter and Mirror Coat are both considered damaging moves, so Prankster would never affect them anyway.
>>59305320Smogshit is still banning it so clearly it’s still doing its job
>>59305320>metal burst>magic coat>taunt>recoverHere's your perfect wobbufet, bro
