Would Hyper Beam and Giga Impact be used if their base power was 175?

no

their base power could be 250 and they wouldn't be used.

I feel like that's some serious hyperbole my friend, originally I was going to ask about a BP of 200 in the OP but I figured that would be way too powerful.

Care to explain why they would still not be used at 200+ bp?

nice numbers.

If you don't kill you lose a turn, they set up
If you kill, you lose a turn, they set up

Letting the opponent set up can lose you the match.

The only way they could make it viable- make it elemental attacks that have typing of pokemon using it.

power herb now allows the use of a recharge move without recharging for one turn

BP increased to 200 to compensate for knock off meta

AND WHILE IM AT MAKING A THREAD ON /VP/

I have a secondary topic I've always wanted to bitch about.

Why the fuck cant Normal be super effective against Fairy? Everyone knows Fairy should get a nerf, and Normal is resisted by two things with absolutely nothing in exchange. I can see not hitting ghost, its also immune to ghost so thats cool. I just feel like normal types are offensively shafted.

do dual-types mons get a flying-press dual-typed move effect on them?

also, hyperbea pixelate/glaciate isnt well-used, so I doubt that would fix it

Some neat calcs, with hyper beam and giga impact at 175 bp

252+ SpA Life Orb Refrigerate Aurorus Hyper Beam vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Clefable: 476-562 (121.1 - 143%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Refrigerate Aurorus Hyper Beam vs. 4 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Chansey: 224-265 (34.8 - 41.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

252+ SpA Life Orb Refrigerate Aurorus Hyper Beam vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Mega Sableye: 316-372 (103.9 - 122.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

232 SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Beam vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Primal Kyogre: 250-295 (62 - 73.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

+1 252+ Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Giga Impact vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Groudon: 354-417 (87.6 - 103.2%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

None of these are still very good options to run gi/hb on but it's fun seeing the nuclear power
