Substitute hands down, I bought this plush the instant it came out.
It just made so many things I liked viable.
>Weak to status? Haha fuck that, sub that shit
>Fast Pokemon and want to scout out what that opponent has if it can kill you? Hell yes substitute that shit
>Opponent using an 8 PP move? Substall that fucker until he starts doubting himself and using a move you get a free switch on, then make him feel bad for not predicting your switch
>Focus punch is shitty? Not with fucking substitute, goddamned GENGAR can use focus punch now
>Did I mention move combos? Substitute torment is amazing, spore then sub on the switch is free tears, the classic Speed Boost Protect+Substitute continues to send Blaziken to ubers and get baton pass scoliopede banned
>No recovery? Just leftovers? Out-fucking-skill your opponent with substitute shenanigans and heal back to full health before they even have a chance to break you
I'm a bit sad that sound-based moves pass through it now and so does infiltrator, along with so many things like Skill Link being more widely distributed and fucking parental bond, but I still love it, and it's still so versatile. Help offensive sweepers, keep your defenses intact to freely heal behind a sub, pass on a sub for team support, fuck lum berries or screens.
