>Doesn’t get Body Press for Iron Defense sets>Doesn’t get Curse to make use of its nerfed speed What are they trying to cook here?
>>59372520Humiliation ritual
>>59372520They wanted a counter to Urshifu, who doesn’t exist yet and is already countered by plenty of Grass/Fairy and Water/Fairy types.
>>59372656nevermind unseen fist catching a stray long before he even exists
>>59372723Or the fact that Mystic Water 2HKOs uninvested Mega Scolipede anyways252+ Atk Mystic Water Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Scolipede-Mega: 63-75 (46.6 - 55.5%) -- 59.5% chance to 2HKOYou need HP investment to survive, and your opponent to not double target your Mega.The only other strategy you could use is anti-Dragon Cheer strategy, when Fairy types already exist.
>>59372656>They wanted a counter to UrshifuYet Scolipede doesn't resist Water or Dark.Game Freak has shown yet against that they do not know how the games work.
>>59372814They do know. But only Pokémon game freak values are allowed to be good.
>>59372828>only Pokémon game freak values are allowed to be good.Do you ever get tired of being a retard?
>>59372520why the fuck would you use Curse on a Speed Boost mon?Adamant 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed Scolipede level 50 stats with no boost: 136/167/109/67/89/164Adamant 6 HP/252 Atk/252 Speed Mega Scolipede level 50 stats with +1 Speed: 136/211/169/85/119/171do you understand how you're intended to use it yet???????
>>59372656It counters Meowscarada quite hard.
>>59372876Ehhh, the cat isn't used that much
>>59372889It shows up enough but not enough that you're bringing a specific counter for it. Back in SV it might have been worth it.
>>5937287632 Atk Protean Meowscarada Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Scolipede-Mega: 67-82 (49.6 - 60.7%) -- 99.9% chance to 2HKO
>>59372872>Speed BoostLook at the op picture again, retard.
>>59372920my example has it as regular Scolipede on turn one you double retard
>>59372853
>>59372937Even at +1, you’re still being outsped by a lot of Pokemon with how little Speed you do have. Even then, you’re going to be forced out a lot anyways because your STAB combo is shit.And the idea with Curse is some Trick Room stuff and acting as a psuedo Victory Dance.
>>59372937Yeah, and that's a dumb idea
