You can't just throw it on a team and expect it to work.

I can't

His bulk's kind of decent if you want a super frail mon like Cinccino to survive more than one turn, but otherwise, yeah it's not going to support most teams as well as people think.

I'm not mad about WHY Pachi is popular. I just think it's ridiculous that scrubs think they can put him on a team like he's Garchomp.

This pretty much.

If your team already has too many Fire, Ice, Flying or Psychic weaknesses to support Amoongus, or focuses on a Pokemon that's instantly downed by Electric moves, then yes, Pachi's an excellent support, and I'm glad Se Jun taught us that.
But if your team doesn't desperately need Pachirisu, then it's really not going to work for you.

Try low-ladder VGC and Doubles on Showdown. The thing is everywhere.
As others have said, it's a brilliant supporter in the right hands and on the right team, but if not, it's a waste of a team slot. Amoongus usually outclasses it.

People is dumb as bricks, Pachirisu (electabuzz gets it too, I think. Gen 3 bullshit) works for Electric weak teams, Amoonguss for water, fighting and electric weak teams but everyone is prepared. Lucario and Togekiss (this one for next year) redirect hits for dragons and Magmar redirect hits for Hail teams. Oh, and Volcarona gets it too but Rock Slide really mess it up.

Is a Follow Me Togekiss really reliable Dragon support?
I'd be too worried that decent opponents would switch to Ice moves upon seeing it.

it can still bulk ice moves really well since, unlike pachi, togekiss actually has stats

While I see the point of this thread, you can do this with plenty of Pokemon, and it works every time.

>used raichu as a support alongside dd gyarados months ago

i'm glad people are finally realising that everything has its uses, but it's a shame the best electric rodent is being overshadowed once again

ofc the trend will pass in a couple weeks anyway - this exact same shit happened on a smaller scale last year when sejun made top 8 with an illegal follow me magmar

That's because those Pokemon are so good they work literally in almost every team. They are called splashable for a reason.

Garchomp is fucking Garchomp.

Pachirisu is a extremely niche Pokemon that is very good at it's niche and if your team doesn't exploit that niche then the damn rat is a total dead-weight.

It's baffling to see how so many people can miss such a basic thing.

Clefable is a fucking monster

I once had a guy using Cosmic Power on me. Two Cosmic Powers and the combat was over.

He had Charge Beam instead of HP-whatever/Moonblast. I would've won if i had my Krookodile with me.

I'm even seeing this shit in singles OU now.
It gets curbstomped right the fuck out. Why do people suddenly think it's useful in this tier?

It had a niche in VGC and mostly because it was entirely unexpected and the guy using it was EXTREMELY skilled. This doesn't mean it's going to be the eater of worlds in every tier.

He even brought you 1-0. If anything, you are the baddie for almost losing to a Pachi bandwagoner.
