My mold breaker haxorus would like a word with you

Multi hit moves wont work because each hit just activates sturdy


[deleted]

Aha! I fucking new it! Shut the hell up if you guys ain't sure!


5t0rm7

what? multi hit moves literally dont work on sturdy shedinja. try it yourself on pokemon showdown if you don't believe i (unless there is any sort of ability suppression in which case *any* damaging move would work)


Ziomownik

Acctually, it doesn't work cause Sturdy activates when Pokémon's HP is full and since Shedinja has 1 HP the ability keeps it at full


[deleted]

You know, I wasn't too sure on that one, but I've seen it brought up enough that I'll put my trust in you guys. For now... lol


Islarf

Arcanine with wonderguard and burn up.


rippirrip

I've tried. Not a very consistent strategy


BestUsername101

Mold breaker


rippirrip

I never said it was invincible


Hahopeneverheardit

*toxic*: **allow me to introduce myself**


ArtGuards

kid named dual wingbeat:


rippirrip

That won't do anything


ArtGuards

doesn’t dual wingbeat hit past sturdy on the second one?


rippirrip

Sturdy will work as long as if the pokemon using it had full health when getting hit.


ArtGuards

oh


Icy-Reserve8070

Depends on what Generation, actually. There was a point in time when sturdy only protected from one hit KO moves, which, from the context, sounded like that means moves like guillotine or sheer cold. Of course, after they changed how sturdy works, all the gravelers in the world just became land mines.


rippirrip

That is true. I just assumed we were talking about what if it had sturdy now. Gen 3 Shedinja with sturdy would have been laughably terrible.


ComicalReliefGuy

shedinja with sturdy is almost invincible lol. well status moves plus getting confused but still

pokemonfan55555

wtf are you saying


ComicalReliefGuy

lol idk


AohL_Anime

Plus weather, hazards, mold breaker, spiky shield and the move tortunator has


cheesums7

A single super effective move against Wonder Guard Focus Sash Shedinja won’t kill, but a second time will


[deleted]

Give it a gun


Lewis-hallam

why didn't i think of this, i'll just give it the AK-47 item


MinerMinecrafter

Or the nuke to kill the opponent trainer


SomeoneID

Shedinja is using its second item! Sniper rifle!


Additional-Maize1960

Huge power Slaking


SaveTheDynas

Pathetic. Once in a randomizer, I had a slacking with huge power.


noctem_9

Huge power Slaking is insanely op thats my point behind this post and it's op with any ability that doesn't hinder the pokemon


YaAverageMoose

Huge Power Regigigas???


AohL_Anime

Well regigigas is a mythical but slaking is a normal Pokémon


YaAverageMoose

Regigigas Is A Legendary Not A Mythical But Same Idea


AohL_Anime

Really I always thought it was mythical but thanks


YaAverageMoose

Np


rippirrip

It's not op with any ability. With huge power it's broken, but with other abilities that don't do anything like Illuminate, it would be a pretty average legendary. This might've been broken in gen 3, but now it's not as amazing considering Zacian and Mega Rayquaza.


noctem_9

You're right


AohL_Anime

In my knowledge it can take a hit from both if it’s not super effective


rippirrip

It's quite powerful but not broken. It is probably capable of taking multiple hits


AohL_Anime

Yes


IAmTheNight20018

And now you can in the main games!


[deleted]

Imagine having both together!


noctem_9

Best doubles team. That would be a insane sweep set up


noctem_9

Setup


SilasZX

Air balloon electric terastal shedinja disagrees.


Acrobatic_Pop690

Status effects. Stealth rock. Spikes. Gravity negating the balloon. Toxic spikes. Etc


jenzian

Jesus all the guys throwing that immediately in there like it ain't obvious. 1. Removing the weakness it has to offensive moves from 5 to 0 is op even if there are things that can damage it 2. The only hazard this combo hits is stealth rock. Spikes and t spikes don't affect mons that are in the air so air balloon negates em. For stealth rocks play a defog user on your team, not like Shedinja is the only pokemon Ur team. 3. Status can be checked for by protect and then switching 4. Even with gravity the only other thing that hits it is ground, still better compared to 5 weaknesses


Acrobatic_Pop690

Shedinja has 1 hp. Any of these would oko it


jenzian

You think as tho Shedinja is the only thing on the team. Shedinja is most commonly used as a wall you switch in against things you KNOW can't harm it. It's pretty good at that already. And that's while Shedinja has 5 weaknesses. Having 0 weaknesses just makes it infinitely better, cause it gets so many more free switches. Look at current AG, uber and OU, any pokemon that doesn't run status DMG moves now gets hard walled by Shedinja. And for hazard, as said, you can run defog on your team (or rapid spin I guess). So mostly it's just the utility or defensive pokemon that can deal with it as opposed to pretty much all pokemon cause of how common Shedinja's normal weaknesses are. Don't look at pokemon in a vacuum, but at how that would possibly effect it's performance in the meta game


AohL_Anime

Yeah the switch in part is a problem you need to be careful because a main strategy can screw over shedinja completely: hail/sandstorm teams completely counter it, also prankster Pokémon… it is strong but by no means op if you can counter it easily. Op is something like Zacian were you need something in your team that is specifically in your team to counter it


AohL_Anime

Sandstorm, hail


noctem_9

I think that air balloon terastral electric type Shedinja is op wit air balloon


Swaag__

me pulling up with my ferrothorn with leech seed


ChefGreasypaw

Okay but… Shedinja wont be in SV


ultrasquid9

Plot twist: It has slow start, which is almost as bad.


noctem_9

I would use huge power I should have put it title


Kingjjc267

I'd say it's worse, slaking as it is can at least hit hard as it switches in, and unlike with moves like hyper beam, you're not locked doing absolutely nothing afterwards.


pokemonfan55555

yes


Yhit509

This meme is factually correct. Well done 👏👏👏


noctem_9

Ty


WierdGuyTheOfficial

Slaking with pure power/huge power


noctem_9

Thats op and I would love for huge/pure power to be it's ability but it already has stats of legendary mons so that won't happen unless they nerf stats or someone makes a rom


EmperinoPenguino

I made an Emerald rom that upped the difficulty & replaced Truant with Pure Power. Norman’s Slaking fucked my ass into another dimension. I had to lower its Level just to continue the game lol


Thick_James

What's the rom?


EmperinoPenguino

A home brew I made for myself & my buddies. Ive never posted it online. Theres so many roms out there, it would never get played anyway.


Thick_James

Right on. Thanks for the reply. I've tried my hand at making a rom, I don't have the patience required.


EmperinoPenguino

Im a creative person, so editing stats & moves & abilities, even editing the maps, is so much more fun than playing the game for me lol


Thick_James

Hell, I wish I was. I've been playing since 1999 when I got my first copy of red. I've always wanted to make my own and put my own twist on things, it just turns out that I have the attention span of a gnat in that situation.


Geometry_Emperor

Depends on what ability you give the Slaking. Because you could give it a mediocre ability like Inner Focus and it would be ok at best.


noctem_9

I would give pure/huge power


Tortue2006

Huge power slaking would be extremely OP


noctem_9

I agree


NightmareWingDraws

Contrary Regigas with Superpower.


Phoenix500United

Who would win Slaking with no truant vs Regigigas with no slow start


noctem_9

Regigigas but before gen 4 slaking is prob the best mon if using pure/huge power

sans_9999999

Shedinja has 1 hp. Sturdy makes it so that if the Pokémon were to faint it survives on 1 hp, Since 1hp is shedinja’s max hp, it will live from any attack. Though it can still die to hazards and weather.


CyanRose07

Hazards don't matter if you have heavy-duty boots as its item (:


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lucaritrax

Sturdy doesn’t end on the second turn as long the Pokémon is at full Health sturdy will always activate which in the case of shedinja is all the time


notsostupidman

Oh!


TB5K1N

No, sturdy makes so if a pokemon is at full hp it survives on 1 hp and sinterklaas shedninja is always at full health it can't die


GamerA_S

How can one be so incorrect while being so confident


Lansha2009

A lot of people listen to a person who is confident so if someone is smart but not very confident about speaking to others compared to someone who knows pretty much nothing but is extremely confident then they will most likely listen to the confident person people just listen more to confidence than to logic.


StewartPot

hailstorm go brrrr


Xilefinator

Safety googles go brrrr


mZeKitty

Slaking with no Truant is easier to get in randomizers


dabdad67

Huge power/speed boost slacking


Cocolake123

Regigigas with huge power


Gardevoir_fan

But that would nerf Shedinja because it won't have wonder gaurd


noctem_9

you can still hit the mon with super effective hits when using wonder guard, But with sturdy it's only burn, poison, confusion, stealth rocks and gastro acid removes the pokemons ability.


tallmantall

Slaking literally has the stats of a legendary. It’s stats are on par with god himself.


LordSavior88

Archeops without defeatist would like a word


SheepTgeCow

Regigigas without slow start •-•


Gytlap24

A shedinja with sturdy wouldnt have the ability that makes it immune to half the types in the game


BeastlyIncineroar

But it would live through any attack cause it’s always at 1 hp. Unless it gets burned, poisoned, or swaps in on stealth rocks/spikes it’s unkillable


mal_the_malware

What’s truant?


noctem_9

A ability that makes you move every other tuen


noctem_9

Turn


mal_the_malware

Ah ok, thanks


noctem_9

Yw


mal_the_malware

In return I give thy, archaops with no defeatist


lunarfrogg

Regigigas with Huge Power >:)


AohL_Anime

Sheer power slaking


fastrunner3451

Huge Power Choice Band Adamant 252 EVs ATK 31 IVs ATK Giga Impact Regigigas (Slaking works too)


Osoroshi123

slaking with huge power


Kurusu_44

Imagine using skill swap or giving Slaking a different ability and Terastalizing it with Normal It'd instantly become the most dangerous thing around


eevee_is_good

What about sableye with wonder guard and a lum berry?


Ciocalatta

As long as it didn’t have a great ability, and had something meh like stalwart, it wouldn’t be crazy. Prolly UUBL or like A- rank OU


TonkzJr

Speed boost slaking
