>>12107983It gives you an extra turn to get out of being locked into petal dance (since it's only 2-3 turns)
If you're behind a sub and set up, it would go like this
>Lilligant used Petal Dance>opponent fainted, sends out Dragonite or something>Lilligant uses Petal Dance>Hydreigon doesn't give a fuck, breaks the sub with Megahorn>Lilligant is now out of the Petal Dance, it's faster due to quiver dance, so it uses HP Ice and OHKOs DragoniteIn the same battle, it would've died to Dragonite
Of course, there's the incredibly realistic possibility of Petal Dance lasting 3 turns instead of 2, but that's a 50% survival rate compared to a 0% without the sub. And an even greater chance of surviving if your opponent mispredicts Lilligant's power or switches incorrectly or something.
Besides, you'd be locked into Petal Dance either way once the "pokemon that doesn't give a shit about grass moves of any strength" comes out. Might as well get some buffer room.
