Prankster/Nature power

>Thoughts?

As gen 7 nears we will be getting a new ability that sets terrain for free, but did we really think of what this meant for some pokemon?

Whimsicott can do Thunderbolt to hit Flying types I guess.

It will definetly see usage especially with Dark Void and Spore. It's been a common thing in Doubles and this might just finally be a solution to said problem. Let's hope they introduce also an item like Damp or Heat Rock for the Terrains

I'm confused about this thread. Does Prankster grant priority to moves of a terrain's type or something?

Yeah, I know, which is why I'm wondering why "Priority Thunderbolt" is the title of the thread when tb is a damaging move.

Nature Power. It gains priority from Prankster even if it turns into Thunderbolt because Electric Terrain.
= Priority Thunderbolt

Hard counters like anti-priority as an ability are unhealthy for the meta, especially since we're getting a disastrous buff to prioty with this and rock-priority move from dayruff. This guarantees a slot is going to be used for priority block. Especially in singles, it's going to be almost as disastrous as hazards. Now 1 slot is going to be a hazard clear, while another slot is going to be priority block, leaving 4 free mons.
VGC is going to be a priority fiesta while singles is even further ground into the dirt by Gamefreak.
I get that they're promoting VGC as their competitive teir, but most people play singles, smogon or not. They really do need a balance team at GF

Wouldn't that be beautiful though? This fugly fish no one in their right minds actually likes, but will use it just because of competitive.

Either way, if it's a standalone evo expect it to have Relicanth or Stantler tier stats.

I unironically like Ferrorthorn; I'm sure a lot of people do. I like the way it uses its vines to walk and I like its cry. However I've never trained one or used one in a Showdown team.

It'll probably wind up like qwilfish. It isn't gonna have alomo's full retard HP stat, no way. It isn't gonna be a luvdisc or corsola either so I'm thinking it'll have kinda shit stats made better by a good movepool and good ability(ies), like qwilfish.

It sounds like a Special Attacker.

But it also gets Strong Jaw as an ability, so we may be looking at Game Freak's favorite shitshow: a slow mixed attacker with moderate bulk.
