This would be glorious. Mega Kanga could do hard damage with no offensive investment.

It'd be even nicer to have parental bond endeavor work on 2 pokémon in a row during double or triple battles.

It actually would

Name any pokemon and it would get a lot better with PB, apart from Ledian because its attacking stats are fucking shit

It's technician without a move cap, serene grace, and infiltrator all in one. The power boost alone is amazing, the extra effects are just icing on top.

think of all the abilities that do 1.3x or 1.5x damage under specific circumstances

now parental bond gives an effective 1.5x damage to ALL moves as well as benefits like +2 from power up punch, it's stupidly broken on any poke with decent stats

So it's like half of huge power but with both stats, and extra little bonuses on top.

Shiiiiet.

Parental Bond is a Choice Band that doesn't lock you into moves, can break Subs, Sashes, Sturdy and gives you a pseudo Serene Grace boost

It's really fucking good

It's a band AND specs, it's just parental bond currently only belongs to a physical attacker.
>it's a pseudo serene grace boost
It's also a pseudo simple, since 100% effects will activate twice. PuP is what made kangaskhan so threatening.

All this talk about the pseudo-serene grace makes me want to use Blizzard Mega Kan in Hail.

You still only have a 19% chance to freeze. If anything the 165 base power is what you'd be using it for.

Well I'm thinking of using it in dubs/trips alongside a sash aboma using blizzard as well so the chances stack. So the chances of freezing at least one of the mons is pretty good.

It's like, GF took efforts to balance Parental Bond. They were like "doubly debilitatingicy wind/snarl? Oh hell no" yet completely ignorant that Kangaskhan isn't running those moves anyway.

it's like a chocie band and specs that lets you choose moves, can break subs and still attack, and have more chances of secondary effects happening.
now, imagine a pokemon with 105/100/100 bulk, only one weakness and 125/60/100 offenses with the ability, and you have mega milf

PB is without hyperbole the single most all purpose offense benefitting ability. Sure drizzle and drought are amazing, huge power turns things into monsters and aeri/refri/pixilate boost already high power moves while giving them way better attacking types, but Parental bond is just an all around general boost that consolidates several abilities into one.

Parental bond could make almost anything amazing, considering the moves that give you boosts like flame charge, charge beam, power up punch, ancient power, ect, and doubles the chance of second effects happening. On that note, I always wondered why they didn't name it something else and give it to mega weezing, or something

ancient power isn't the same as flame charge/PuP though, since its' not a 100% effect.

It's more like serene grace/technician ancient power at the same time.

Also I just found out that PB dragon tail doesn't phase twice, fuck that shit.
