    I actually have seen a good Imprison strat. In the final Mt. Battle fight of XD, the final boss has a Dusclops with Imprison, Protect, Ice Beam, and Shadow Ball. The three moves it imprisons can really set back your strategies while in effect. Protect is just a really good double battle move in this game with only double battles, Shadow Ball is good against Dusclops itself as well as his Latias and Latios, and Ice Beam is good on the aforementioned Eon duo as well as his Salamence.

    An idea why lucky chant is niche:

    Laser Focus is the move that guarantees a crit the next attack right?
    It's not a great move, but it can be used to keep an enemy from healing. You don't always have the option to use a move that would just not do enough damage to keep the target out of healing range.
    Also, guaranteed bypassing Amnesia/Iron Defense/Cosmic Power stacks can come in handy

      ​@@priestesslucy3299 I don't think it's useless, just redundant more often than not. For instance, in the example you gave about it working even if the opponent switches, you're getting the same value by just attacking twice (once on the switch, then again for, presumably, the KO).
      I think its best possible application is against Calm Mind or Curse sweepers that have set up quite a bit, but that might often end up with you trading a Pokemon for that chance (the user) almost consistently. This is more or less a desperate strategy to avoid wiping, though, so I don't think you should be always relying on it.
      In my opinion, high F tier or low E is good enough.

    Swagger does have a niche over other Confusion moves by pairing well with Foul Play, though that's a high-risk, high-reward strat. If I was completely subjective, I'd put whichever is the Swagger clone that raises Sp. Attack in F tier because it completely missed the point of Swagger. Confusion damage doesn't take Sp. Attack into account, so raising it on your opponent is pointless, except now you've doubled their Sp. Attack, so they can more easily kill you. It's useless on physical attackers, and special attackers only benefit somewhat from it. It's just a garbage move.

Power Swap ( user and opponent swap Atk and Sp.Atk ) ( has potential imo) 14. Guard Swap ( like Power Swap but for defenses). 15. Power Split ( causes Atk and Sp.Atk of the user and opponent to average, Stat boosts don't count), 16. Guard Split ( like Power Split but for defenses ) 17. Power Shift ( switches Atk with Def and Sp.Atk with Sp.Def opponent) 18. Trick ( swaps item with Target, not F-tier cuz you can give the opponent a sh!t item ) 19. Craft Shield ( protect user's team from any status moves during that turn and has priority) 20. Telekinesis ( allows for target to get hit 100% of the time from any non OHKO move) 21. Swallow ( will heal depending on how many Stockpiles are set up) 22. Hold Hands (🙂), 23. Magnetic Flux ( Raises Def and Sp.Def for any Pokémon with a Plus or Minus ability ), 24. Power Trick ( Makes own Atk and Def Stat swap) (Shuckle Sweep???) 25. Happy Hours ( doubles Prize $ at the end of a battle, not F tier because you can use it to buy more key items) 26. Assist ( Metronome but for all the moves in your party ) 27. Flower Shield ( I forgor but it's trash trust) Bonuses: SuperSonic (55% confusion), Spit Up ( like swallow but for dmg), Celebrate ( 🥳), Magic Room ( No item usage for 5 turns ), aaaand Life Dew ( 25% heal to user and ally)

    I personally prefer to have a good offensive spread rather than any status moves but I do see the value in them for those who wish to use them. For the most part I can agree with your placements except for one that I noticed. At 18:08 I see mimic in D tier. I listen to nuzlockes a lot while i work and the status move i hear the most is Mimic, Rest, and Protect combos. In gen 1 + 2 just add Return and you have a set almost anyone can win the game with. If this ranking is just for nuzlockes like the title suggests then I believe you should put mimic much higher, at least B if not A tier. There are a surprising number of trainers out there that have a move on their first pokemon that can almost sweep their teams.

    Mr Challenges,
    You forgot to mention that sleep activates guts. Which means sleep talk can select a guts boosted move.
    In smogon singles, recently I’ve played and have seen a lot of Eviolite Guts rest talk Ursaring. With facade and usually EQ. Although in a nuzlocke you could obviously pre sleep so the opportunities are even greater.

    So I have used Trick before as an easy win condition.
    Against Totem Mimikyu in UM, used Trick from Metang to give Totem a Black Sludge, then used protect and pivoting to wait it out and then take out the Bannette after it was down and couldn't call Jelli
    Very niche but I would say giving your opponent a damaging item while taking their useful item is at least feasible in the right circumstances

    I have used Lucky Chant on a Pokémon once. A vanilla nuzelocke of Pokémon White. My Musharna. I had caught it in the Dreamyard while trying to find an Audino, because I wanted to remove it from the encounter pool to route for other shaking grass encounters. But it really came in clutch. Ghetsis fight, lost Serperior to N’s Zekrom crit, and have barely survived the assaults of Ghetsis’s mons, including a close win against the Hydreigon before losing a mon to Seismatoad in the rain. The Musharna came in clutch, being too bulky to kill in the rain without a crit, and setting up Lucky Chants along with dealing slow damage and using Recover, I won the day.
    I would lose Musharna to some BS later, and eventually win the nuzelocke with a merry band of misfits clambered together with my remaining encounters, but that is the one time I’ve ever had Lucky Chant be useful. And it wasn’t even integral to some important strategy.
    I think the move is seen as a waste of a slot unless under very specific circumstances, since crits can’t be planned for, and may be dismissed as a risk worth taking in comparison to a more useful move.

  • @scrubplaceholder6216

    Sweet scent to ensure sleep powder hits is a solid strategy for setting up bulk up for example.
    Or 2 sweet scent, sleep powder, and flash in order to make flash never miss. Then set-up.

    • @Rictavio27
      @Rictavio27 Рік тому +4
