New Swoobat Evo
>Loovbat
HP:77

Defense:80

Would this be competitively viable?

Go back to Smogon? I am a Swoobat user. My whole team is NU-UU and I still win 4/7 battles in OU. I was just trying to think of a way to make Swoobat a better pokemon so it will be taken seriously in higher tiers

I don't think you understand how new evos of past Pokémon work. They almost always incorporate a new theme into it, see Magnezone, Magmortar, Mamoswine, or Scizor.

In that case, this thing would be about on par with Eviolite Swoobat.

It'd be a slightly slower but somewhat bulkier Alakazam without Magic Guard that takes a turn of set-up to actually be comparable to Alakazam. Flying as a secondary trying to Psychic is still bad, so Latias does stuff like Calm Mind better. 2 CM boosts would make it deadly, but good luck getting those.

Alakazam does the straight up attacking better due to immediate stats. Latias does Calm Minding better due to typing.

Swoobat with an evo would have a better shot if its evolution gave it enough of a defensive buff to abuse Unaware, since other stuff wouldn't stomp all over that niche.

I see. Well then why don't we make the Swoobat evo quite a bit more bulky?

Meh... it'd be good enough to be high NU, maybe up to UU, but it just doesn't have high enough base stats to stand out in OU. As others have said, NU threats are often good enough to find their niche in OU, but this just doesn't seem like it's a big enough increase to make it worthwhile. Maybe boost the SpA up to 100 or so would make it good.

Of course, this all depends on your definition of competitively viable. I'm taking OU as the standard.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic or anything. I was just unaware of how Golbat's niche changed. I've never used a Crobat competitively or in-game. I was referring to the zubat line because Woobat is supposed to be the new annoying bat.

Base 114 speed would be a huge boost, 349 is an awkward number for Swoobat to sit at. Not quite high enough to guarantee a sweep all the time but it doesn't hit hard enough without setting up to use a Scarf.

I think those defenses would make it it viable in UU, it's would hit like a truck after a Calm Mind with Stored Power and might actually be able to live long enough to set one up.
