>>30220206>Le Pachi memeWhen will you people understand that Sejun didn't use Pachirisu because it was he bro and he liked it and made it work with the power of bro?
Sejun used Pachirisu because
>VGC14 only allowed Alolamons which means a shitton of stuff is banned >With a shitton of stuff banned there were only two Follow Me users left: Lucario and Pachirisu>Everyone and their mom was using Amoongus for redirection because 99% of the time it's better for it than Lucario and PachirisuAll of this means that Pachirisu had a very specific niche on a very specific metagame, and more than all, a very specific tourney where Sejun decided for Pachirisu over Amoongus (this is something he said) because he decided to bet on everyone and their mom bringing something ot mess with Amoongus redirection efforts.
That Pachirisu also had Volt Absorb to heal itself and take away Electric attacks from Gyarados and Talonflame was the cherry on top of the cake.
This is how you use a seemingly at first glance shitmon properly. You don't build around the shitmon, you use the shitmon if through some miracle you need to do something nothing but the shitmon can do.
Sejun used Pachirisu because it fulfilled the specific needs he wanted and needed, not because it was his bro and he wanted to prove the Neo-Nazis of Smogon who hate variety wrong.
I can't believe that three years after the damn thing happened I still have to explain this. I liked Sejun and the dude deserved to win but fuck I dreaded him winning because of all the shit that would happen afterwards. I hate people so much goddamn.
