Constant 60 base power, but varies in type as usual. Definitely an improvement because fuck having to pokegen something for the right hidden power at a decent BP.

Fairy-type which is immune to dragon and SE against dragon. Too bad the only good ones are retcons.

What the hell are you trying to kill with sub disables that cant be done much better/safer by a dozen other pokemon?
Just use a trickster tank or batton pass into a proper gengar with shadow tag ffs.

Finally! Now tourneyfags can't slap HP on any pokemon and call it a day. Now they actually have to be strategic with their movesets.

It's a victory for us.
