Not really. You sound like someone who doesn't know anything about competitive and likes to shit on Smogon because you heard that they "banned" your favorite Pokémon.

1. The target Pokemon isn't locked into that move for several turns.
2. The target Pokemon gets to use that same move twice in one turn.

They're completely different. Use your brain.

In every possible way.
Encore: force the opponent to use one move
Orangutan's move: let your companion repeat its attack in the same turn.

It's not, OP is making shit up.

Instruct is double battle focused.

Encore causes the Pokemon to use the same move over multiple turns.

Instruct essentially allows Oranguru to 'give' its turn to its partner, which then uses the same move it used before again in that same turn.

Pyukumuku or whatever its name is. Switch into any strong attack for a free, unavoidable K.O. The rest only seem OP in doubles, which should be fine for smogon but will probably turn VGC into an oranguru-colored joke.

The fact is, they said Wishiwashi is supposed to be stronger than Gyarados. This is the only thing we have to base their respective power levels on, and it's pointing to the new Pokemon being stronger than their counterparts.

This argument is brought up a lot, why do people think this? If anything, isn't it easier to use your favorite pokemon in a smogon format because they are tiered with pokemon of similar viability?

Oranguru seems extremely slow, so I don't see it causing any flinches to anything with average speed or faster.

If you're facing a slow stall team then it'd be useful.

Instruct (I'm assuming so don't take my word for it) is only meant for Double Battles.

Your teammate will use any move it has, using up their turn. When you use Instruct, it makes your teammate attack again, using your turn.

This coupled with Telepathy will make Oranguru unstoppable in Doubles.

That's not how probability works you dip
It's actually only about a 65% chance

10% chance of flinching = 90% chance of not flinching = 0.9
It hits 10 times so 0.9^10 = 0.35 = 35% chance of not flinching after 10 hits = 65% chance of flinching on at least one of the hits

But thanks to telepathy, it causes mind games as to whether it would Instruct, do a damage move, or protect itself from being focused

Huh. That sounds pretty powerful.

How common are double/tripple battles anyway, though? I don't really ever hear about them competitively and there's only been four in the story mode of X so far.

Or is it like monkeymon can set up an Instruct on something that has just used a move and switched to him or vice versa?
