>>16860983I love Whimsicott.
You better not run a sub-seed set on it though, anon.
Type buff means it'll be switching in and out more often, Infiltrator buff means screw you sub, new egg move combos means it'll be switching in often to deal and neuter threats then switching out to teammates that can take advantage of it.
Leech Seed? Still good.
Encore? Wouldn't be Whimsi without it.
Memento/Switcheroo? Now passes with Encore. Embrace your new utility.
Substitute? You mean Uturn, right? Or even Moonblast, Taunt, or Protect, which won't leave you blasted by Taunt like Sub will?
It won't replace Klefki. Best defensive typing and better overall bulk with Swagplay/dual screens/Torment leaves it a niche Whimsicott can't touch.
However, Whimsicott is more than free to switch in against all Klefkis and Encore or Taunt away.
It's good to be a Prankster.
