      Would make it viable against setup and not overpowered since it’s effectively just a 90bp normal move.

    My differences of opinion:
    65: Octazooka. Horn Attack is a pretty clear early game move and can put in a lot of work until getting access to stronger moves. Octazooka has a nice accuracy-lowering secondary effect but its 85% accuracy is just awful, but I think the fact that it was intended to be a signature move for Octillery is what really kills it; there's no reason to run this over Surf/Scald.
    100: While Egg Bomb absolutely is a stinker, I still find it hard to believe Misty Explosion exists. A self-destructing special Fairy move barely any stronger than Moonblast, with its only power-boosting effect being 1.5x damage in Misty Terrain, and even then, factoring in STAB, it's effectively 25 BP less than Explosion. You have to be dealing super-effective damage or be fighting a physically-defensive, low-SpDef mon while in Misty Terrain to even be remotely worth using over a standard Fairy STAB. It was obviously meant for Misty Surge Galarian Weezing, who would almost certainly prefer Neutralizing Gas shenanigans or the Levitate ground immunity anyway.
    As a side note, I find it hilarious that Synchronoise can be learned by Umbreon, who is a pure Dark-type and thus any Pokemon that shares its type is immune to the move anyway.

    • @natnew32
      @natnew32 2 місяці тому +6

      Misty Explosion actually sees use (once in a blue moon) if you can believe it. It lets you attack and "switch" (rather violently), which is useful for the same reason U-Turn and Volt Switch are. This is why Explosion and friends (Memento, Healing Wish) are seen on suicide leads pretty often, such as Explosion Azelf or Memento Ralts. While some of these pokemon have better options, others just don't. Plus it's a special move whereas Explosion is physical. (something like Wigglytuff might run it in SU or something, it has a somewhat serviceable 80 SpA and Compeditive to punish intimidate; it gets Stealth Rock, both screens, Taunt, Encore, and a few other nice moves so there might be stuff there.) In doubles it also hits everyone, teammate included, so there are some gimmick strats that can use it.

  • @abrarkadabrar7829

    Covet is only good in game. In gen 3 Kanto there's a very dumb and painstakingly long process I used with Snorlax and covet. I went to Mt Moon and went underground to find all the Paras. Killing it with covet gives you 1 Attack EV and potentially steal tiny mushrooms and big mushrooms that helps move tutor moves once you unlock the Sevii Islands. Welp I just remember that between level 49 and level 50 my Snorlax gained +17 Attack with one level.
    You can potentially do the same thing with Illumise and farming Heart Scales with Luvdisc but the fishing process is just longer and more probability based. No thank you.

    It's niche but Covet does have some uses, it's one of the few moves that doesn't get called by Assist, meaning that together with Thief you hit every type for at least neutral damage when for example making a prankster assist team, ambipom also liked this move because it's a good stab move for it with technician (Tail Slap is also good but less accurate), and like thief it can be used to permanently steal someone's item. It's a shame most Pokémon that learn it also learns thief though, which with no immunities does make it better

    I think Take Down is only semi okay to use with Rock Head or one of the "-ilate" abilities. Like with Aurorus or Mega Altaria. Not good by any means, but more usable than with most other Pokemon in general. It is still very replaceable, but okay for midgame strats if you want a decently strong stab move before getting the better Double Edge by the endgame/postgame. Competitvely though it is dogwater. You are mever winning a massive tournament with Take Down as a main STAB ever. Feel free to prove me wrong, but the cards are staked against take down as a move.

    I would argue that Covet is much better than Round. The ability to take items is definitely helpful especially early on when pokemon might hold stuff like berries. In competitive, you also have the option to use Covet on normal type Technician users like Persian & Ambipom, where Round has no such luxury. Doesn’t help that Round’s gimmick is also terrible, since it forces another pokemon to use Round on the same turn.

    I take issue with Bounce because Gyarados could use it in Gen 8 as Max Airstream.

      The problem is the power. It can absolutely work wonders, but there are better physical flying moves. Drill Peck, Brave Bird, and Dual Wingbeat are much better moves.

    Not that this would elevate its position as the worst move but Synchronoise actually has niche competitive use for GOLDUCK to hit toxapex/other waters and run with a Z crystal
