Actually, if you dont mind losing your Runerigus, just Fell Stinger him for a free attack boost. Risky, but worth it if you pull it off. Its turned into a Psychic type after all
@@borismuller86 Know how we have Poisoned and Badly poisoned? They should do that with Freeze. Frozen: Halfs SpA Frozen Solid: Same as now Also while we at it... Let Hail Boost Ice type pokemon's defense by 1.5 like sandstorm does SpD for rock type.
At it's easiest it's just U-Turn + Skill Swap turn 1. I just wanted to use Trick Room and Escavalier, but it's still not too tricky to pull off. Just watch out for Follow Me redirecting U-Turn.
Potentially you can just u-turn and immediately skill swap into whatever comes it ignoring trick room completely, and with a mental herb it should be almost uninterrupted
Normal Stunfisk is actually decent in OU. Not great, but can stall a lot of special attackers. The fact that it can eat a Draco Meteor from Specs Hydreigon and just Rest is insane. Also stalls out clefable and Corviknight. And checks special attacking aegislash.
Is nobody going to notice how Runerigus kept the Psychic typing AFTER it swapped its ability? The Milotic's Scald should've been suppereffective there! ThatOP
BigOrangeSnowman88 I wasn’t sure after I saw Cinderace’s ability swap back to Libero. It’s kinda weird that Types don’t revert but Abilities do. Does Soak/Trick-or-Treat’s added type stick around too?
Sort of, helps if they are super fast or super slow depending on if you want to set up Trick Room, and they need to have good/unexpected coverage moves
but in the case of escavalier it was pretty awesome that he had razor shell because it covered for his one weakness. that's as if swampert learned fire punch and pressured grass types with that.
escavalier might as well be the only pokemon with one weakness that can become a resistent type of that weakness through libero, besides having really good stats as well. (Tho poison/dark levitate might do that too)
The pride trainer card is so cute! Much appreciated foo! Also, I know some people probably don’t like Cinderace since it’s really oversatured but it’s one of my favorite Pokémon from this gen so I’m really happy that it’s so good.
Just use the card maker computer in a Pokemon Center. I found a dark background is best. You get access to the rainbow effect after beating the champion
Wow! This is a very unique strategy! The ability swapping of U-turn into Wandering Spirit into a skill swap switch in can go surprisingly smoothly. I was initially worried about the possibilities of disrupting it; e.g, someone else hitting Runerigus with a contact move before Cinderace could, or a Fake Out, etc. I was wanting to come up with something creative with Cinderace's hidden ability, but I guess I can copy your strategy but with Copperajah in the team, he also has great coverage like Escalvalier, although not having a water type move's a huge deal, perhaps I could make use of his Grass and Fire type moves.
That's a great idea! Water types will think they are safe from Copperajah's steel type moves, but STAB Power Whip will really hurt! And you can turn into rock or fire type if you are worried about taking super effective fire type moves
Libero is a defensive position in football/volleyball. The ability basically saying the pokemon can adapt to any situation (protean basically means the same thing). Its not about camouflage at all.
@@threes_leaves yeah see the thing is that an ability that changes based on the environment is alot more believable on a chameleon than a football player, just saying.
@@Crocodile7104 it's not based on enviornment tho. It switches based on what's best for the situation much like a Libero (a type of soccer player, coincidently what Cinderace is based on) Although technically, switching it's attack/sp att or defenses would've made more sense
@@Crocodile7104 Well that's what Protean is... Libero and Protean are 2 different words for 2 different pokemon for a reason. If they're were referring to environment and camouflage, they wouldn't have named it Libero. They named it that for Scorbunny FOR A REASON.
@@jonathanacosta36 Yes! But I do think that they made a new ability which functions like Protean just to make the new ability to be viable for more pokemon (Bcuz Protean suits very well for lizards and amphibian rather than mammals) For example: Like Shell armor and Battle armor being different ability but has the same effect, just to suit the ability for a certain species of pokemons.
nah u see it wrong. its really good for the grookey line to have that ability. when its giga-from is out its still provides the terrain although its gras moves doesn´t apply it. :)
@@RazorusR3X777 Banned in Smogon, not in singles. Smogon is a fan made format compared to the official Pokemon rules that basically only ban box legends and mythic legends.
I feel that this might be a bad idea because of team preview. The can use a strong fire type move before Escavalier can move because it’s slow so it will just die because of its 4x weakness to fire. They’ll know what you’re going to do before you can do it. You can use trick room but if your opponent has a counter to trick room like room service or run the trick room team themselves, you’re at a disadvantage.
This is really cool. VGC has a lot of gimmicks that are really cool, but this stands out because it requires such little commitment. You only really need Cinderace, Runerigus, and a TR sweeper for this to work, so it leaves a lot of flexibility in your team building and team preview options. It also only takes 1 turn. Don't get me wrong a whole turn of setup definitely puts you at a disadvantage, but 1 turn is very very minimal compared to other gimmick setups. I might just try this myself with Ttar. Besides the fact that Ttar is my favorite Pokemon, it's slow enough to be a TR sweeper, has a great movepool that can take advantage of Libero, and Libero isn't being given to it at the cost of its other ability because Sand Stream is useless after Ttar enters the field. This also gives me the option to abandon the strategy at team preview and go for a standard Ttar+Drill lead if I feel like I need to.
Sadly, Volt Switch won't work with Runerigus due to it being immune and Wandering Spirit requiring a contact move to activate (Volt Switch isn't), but the ability to work with U-Turn really opens the ability swapping potential in Pokemon. It's like Receiver, but without the fainting but with doing a bit of damage to an ally.
You really soom te like Runerigus, don't you? Can't blame ya! It's a fun pokemon, with a LOT of utility and its fun to see how you are capable of using it to its full potential
GG! I was expecting a Scald over an Icy Wind, but I didn't think it was a bad play because it breaks sashes and could be good for speed control on Cinderace That's the fun thing about this strat, it's pretty hard to predict!
Here a good setup for sniper inteleon: have laser focus on it to make it a guaranteed crit, then sniper boosts the attack, finally go into dynamax and use g max snipe shot for the stab and coolness.
Have you/would you be willing to do a video about some good Whiscash sets? It's a Pokémon who's always had a special place in my heart and I'd be really interested to see what you could come up for with it!
Whiscash has always been a cool pokemon and it gets dragon dance, i think there's a couple different sets but they all have dragon dance on it, it has for sure a dd 3 attacks set and a mono attacking set, but I'd love to see what he got in Gen 8
Please don't taunt me with Cinderace shenanigans. I'm trying to get a shiny Libero one and I got a shiny Blaze Scorbunny in only 102 eggs but now I'm over 800 eggs and haven't gotten a Libero shiny Scorbunny. Also nice vid lol.
@@foofootoo yeah it's an Italian word that means free and it actually indicated a defensive role in football (or should I say soccer? Idk) anyways I didn't wanna sound rude or anything so I apologize
@@threevelayt5302 *blows whistle* it is more likely the ability refers to the alternate meaning, a player that can play multiple roles, like how it changes the users typing
Even in Escavilier showcase, Dragapult got every single KO first game. Now that right there is a good mon who needs no crazy abilities or moves or typings to be effective. It is just a great mon. Period.
The problem is that 4 times weakness is it's only weakness, everything else it pretty much resists or neutrally affected by. So you are giving up your defenses for extra fire power which can backfire badly if you mess up with your prediction.
Considering Escavalier is one of my favorite pokémon, I am happy to see it getting some love. Also I noticed it received Close Combat on gen 8. Wouldn't it work better than razor shell to get rid of Ttar and Inceneroar?
Doing it with dragopult seems like a legit strat. Cinderace, rune, pult, are still good pokemon. Just throw skill swap on rune for a trick play sometimes or if you get a good lead matchup with it.
If we are excluding mythical Pokémon like mew and arceus, Lucario would probably be the most potent with protein/libero since the only types he doesn’t know are water, bug, grass, and fairy. Everything else he has a move for. Even Blaze Kick for no reason and yet he can’t learn fire punch.
This may be really random, but I just played someone running libero cinderace and escavalier all of the OTs were Foo, did I actually play you? (I'm Red who ran the toxitricty/duraludon dmax lead to get rid of your runerigus). Or was it someone with a rental team/giveaway mons?
@@foofootoo ah that's a shame! Funnily enough I found this vid when trying to message and guessed it must've been the rental team! I guess I'd say, when running this one be wary of stalwart duraludon and technician snarl on tox because the runerigus does not get to set up! That combo breaks so many trick rooms teams it's silly!
Escavalier always had the razor shell? I don't remember him with that movement, which is great to cover his weakness to fire. I thought it was a lot worse than it is, since I saw his stats and except for the speed, he looks like a great pokemon.
Razor Shell is a new addition to Escavalier's moveset this generation, thanks to Razor Shell now being a TM. In fact, Escavalier is the reason the Razor Shell TM has to exist. There are only four Pokemon that learn Razor Shell this gen that didn't before: Krabby, Kingler, Escavalier, and Mew (who learns every TM by default). And there are only two Pokemon who learn Razor Shell through TM that can't learn it through level up: Escavalier and Mew.
@@DrPumpkinz Oh, that's cool. I mean, it makes it a lot better now. Might give it a try. Also, thanks for the info, I was wondering if maybe it was a change made the previous gen since I didn't use it in that one, but now that I know it's not, I'm tempted with the idea of making a team around him (also will be a good excuse to try to make a trick room team since I never got one right)
hi, how do you record your matches without appearing the selection menus? when I look it seems a lot like a replay mode, but I don't know how it does it
Because runerigus came out in sword and shield so it'd take 2 turns to do that stuff instead of one turn, which makes it pretty inconsistent and not worth it. Also there's a chance they kill the skill swap mon before it even gets to skill swap, whereas in this case they have to know and focus on runerigus or kill cinderace before it U-turns, which is way harder than killing the skill swapper in 2 turns
This is so dumb on so many levels... 1st: Any Ghost Type completly walls your Set and uses you as setup fodder~ Also Grassy Surge does nothing for the Pokémon on the field after it has switched in anymore. And when switching out the original ability gets restored, thus it cannot switch in with this ability. Making it completly useless for such a gimmick.
Here's an idea you'll probably would ignore: Azumarril line with Huge Power + Skill Swap/Skill Share Pokemon + Zacian Skill Swap/Skill Share Azumarril Switch Azumarril for Zacian Skill Swap Zacian with Skill Swapper
Anyone got a libero cinderace(or member of his line stats don't matter just the ability) I don't have much to offer as trade but I do have a couple of chlorophyll Bulbasaur (one japanese in origin the other american) though I don't know how useful that is I can only trade though pokemon home (I wasn't able to nab up the event ones)
Ahh Escavalier, once it's Skill Swapped Libero and that is pretty much GG.
Bruh i just came up with a 'shedinja becoming sturdy' set with that runerigus. I wonder if that's possible
always feels weird to hear Libero with the english pronounciation. And I can't wait to try this set out! :D
I love the nicknames of your pokemon. They are hilarious and accurate. Especially the Drampa named Boomer.
How do I get that pride trainer card?! I need it
Try a dragopult with beat up holding a king's rock as your lead on a single battle, could be fun
Actually, if you dont mind losing your Runerigus, just Fell Stinger him for a free attack boost. Risky, but worth it if you pull it off. Its turned into a Psychic type after all
This is an amazing suggestion o:
Woah!
Tried it. The problem is the double focus into Escavalier, since they can no longer target Runerigus.
I am trying a couple different supports though.
@@LocalMaple like i said, its risky
@Goodroid 706 thanks for the correction
We need a special attack version of Huge Power.
And they should give Spiritomb Magic Bounce.

hi, how do you record your matches without appearing the selection menus? when I look it seems a lot like a replay mode, but I don't know how it does it
I've edited it like that, the footage contains the menus and such, but I just cut them out in editing software
What isn't with skill swapped special moves?
You could have also maybe added Passimian to this team to take libero through Reviever when Escavalier or Scorbunny died
So this way you could get in theory a dragontype Gmax charizard?
I wonder why nobody tried to do the same with Protean back in generation 6.
If playing Ubers you can possibly make broken Pokémon more broken with Libero such as; Zacian and Mewtwo
It makes flipping sense why would this armoured bug with Lances be weaker than a soccer player that can put its ball on fire
What’s the stat spread on Escavalier?
What about sniper+razor claw+ high critical hit ratio move😁
Actually, the German name for Cinderace is Liberlo, what makes it even more hilarious. 😂👌🏼
why the extra step of wandering spirit instead of skill swapping directly?
To switch cinderace safely. Cant switch n skill swap
well now we know foo is either an el debarge stan or a crystal stan
Crystal was everything this season
@@foofootoo grookey would be perfect for the brazilian banana inspector
Why did no one ever do this with Protean in earlier games?
Because runerigus came out in sword and shield so it'd take 2 turns to do that stuff instead of one turn, which makes it pretty inconsistent and not worth it. Also there's a chance they kill the skill swap mon before it even gets to skill swap, whereas in this case they have to know and focus on runerigus or kill cinderace before it U-turns, which is way harder than killing the skill swapper in 2 turns
How do you get the ha starters?
Link in the description
foofootoo thank you so much
Libero is the superior offensive ability but grassy surge offers good support and added bulk. My fav is probably Libero
How did you get libero Escalver
What about a protein snorlax
Move set:
Drain punch
Ice punch/Thunder punch
Fire punch
Shadow punch
Also make it more annoying by making it G-max
This is so dumb on so many levels...
1st: Any Ghost Type completly walls your Set and uses you as setup fodder~
Also Grassy Surge does nothing for the Pokémon on the field after it has switched in anymore.
And when switching out the original ability gets restored, thus it cannot switch in with this ability.
Making it completly useless for such a gimmick.
Robin93k true maybe then a protein snorlax with
Drain punch
Ice punch/Thunder punch
Shadow punch
Fire punch
So what do you think
Is Escavalier learned a Water-type move?
werent these abilities in the game already? Im confused
They were just not available for players to use leon would sometimes use them in the battle tower
Here's an idea you'll probably would ignore:
Azumarril line with Huge Power + Skill Swap/Skill Share Pokemon + Zacian
Skill Swap/Skill Share Azumarril
Switch Azumarril for Zacian
Skill Swap Zacian with Skill Swapper
No
Isn't anything with Libero potentially stronger ?
On the topic of cinderace do you think it's unfair that it got it's own unique status move ( court change) and the other starters didn't
Snipe Shot? Drum Beating?
@Nicholas Pisarski Thx guess I should've been more clear about what I meant
Won’t the opponent be able to take libero with this strat? Seems too many steps too
So I have auto generated subtitles on and it said "ass cavalier" lmao
lol
Do you not have protect on any of your Pokémon?!?
Unless cinderace is partnered up with weavile who has both fake out and taunt and cinderace would cream it with pyro ball
Anyone got a libero cinderace(or member of his line stats don't matter just the ability)
I don't have much to offer as trade but I do have a couple of chlorophyll Bulbasaur (one japanese in origin the other american) though I don't know how useful that is
I can only trade though pokemon home (I wasn't able to nab up the event ones)
I feel like this takes too much set up. You can just use escavaliar trick room on its own
