Competitive Pokemon

No.15540367 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Let's use this thread to discuss competitive Pokemon, especially Pokemon that have gotten major buffs.

Let's look at Swanna as a perfect example. It does take 4x from electric but ignoring that, you have a set of moves that are extremely promising for the new metagame.

To start however, we need to discuss the moves that god buffed.

Defog got an incredible buff. Defog now clears away Light Screen, Reflect, Safeguard, Mist, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock and Sticky Web present on both sides of the field.

Tailwind still lasts 4 turns.

The Sport moves also got a major buff. They now last 5 turns and are in effect even when you switch.

So a possible Swanna moveset as a lead could be:

Defog
Tailwind
Roost / Water Sport
Rain Dance

You can start the match by Tailwinding, increasing your speed, then Defogging their stealth rocks/spikes/sticky web etc, then Rain Dancing to set up the rest of your team or Water Sporting to ruin a potential Drought team.
