doesn't entrainment fail on pokemon with truant/slow start/defeatist as their abilities?

you'd have to use worry seed on them first or something

Nope. It works fine on slow start at least. I can't remember about Truant.

What? Regigigas gets some good punches. Iron Fist boosts it and instantly removes Slow Start effectively turning him into a rape train. Chuck a life orb or something on him or something to increase his survivability and you're good to go.

Doubles
Have something with Sky Drop and follow up with Pangoro's Sky Uppercut to hit the same target while it's in the air and do boosted damage.

That's all I could think of.

Considering it's doubles and you're using a Regigigas, it's pretty obvious theres going to be a gimmick involved. Combine that with its terrible speed and awful defenses and all it takes is anyone with a double digit IQ to take out the Pangoro first.
also 4x weak to fairy isnt helping at all

Circle Throw and Parting Shot would make him a good pivot.. If he wasn't so frail...

Well obviously it's gimmicky. It's still the only thing that Pangoro is good for and it definitely is something that could technically work.

Scrappy Storm Throw will rek almost any smogonswords but who would send it against Pangoro in the first place. Anyways, in doubles if using TR it's kind of nice since that move ignores the attack drops from the always present intimidate and you can catch people off guard if using scrappy since they don't expect it.

> It does not work on Pokémon with the Truant, Zen Mode, Multitype, Illusion, Flower Gift, Trace, Imposter or Stance Change Abilities.

But yeah, go nuts with other punching Pokemon.

The only damaging Dark type moves it can learn (That are physical) are Thief, Fling, and Payback.

Don't look at is "is there any reason" when you should be able to win with anything. Just because Girafarig is a weaker Alakazam doesn't mean you shouldn't use it.

It's a shame really. He has a great offensive type and good attack, yet he's so slow and doesn't get
>close combat
>sucker punch
>knock off
>ice punch

which would have made him a lot more viable, even if he's still an inferior Conkeldurr most of the time. It gets none of those, and is 4x weak to the new type, rendering it fairly unusuable.

Better than Aerodactyl getting Rock Head, with its only recoil move being fucking Take Down.

I wanted ot use Pangoro as well but he's just dead weight most of the time. Even a simple Dazzling Gleam could take him out. Plus, his movepool is too small not to take advantage of his ability.

When I use him in Battle Maison he's always the first to go down before he could even land a hit (even if it was Parting shot).

As far as I can tell, literally the only ways to use him effectively are either as a Choice Scarf Parting Shot pivot or offensively with Iron Fist Hammer Arm under Trick Room.

Fucking fix him, Game Freak, there's so much wasted potential here.
