The only thing I'm dissapointed in is that he's still a coward even after becoming a beast.

Seriously, I can deal with the slowmon being there. But they ruined the best Pokemon they made this gen with garbage ability. What is the point of training Wimpod if you only get more switching out out of it.

You get a free attack, and as long as it lives the attack, you can bring it back out later. Seems to be something that happens at the end of all the attacks going off though. It's not something that triggers mid-round.

So you're saying you'll leave it in to take a super effective hit that knocks it below half health so it will switch itself out so you can bring back in late to take another 25% from stealth rocks

It's still a damn good move, and it's ability let's you do use it at least twice without wasting a turn switching out.

whether he's good or not depends on how his ability works.
If he gets hit and still gets his attack off it's fine, you get a free switch into something.
If you get hit and switch out before you can attack it's bad and will have to rely on aqua jet succ punch and his priority bug fake out attack.

look i can appreciate all this competitive brainstorming on how you can use it to your advantage but honestly unless we get an item that nulls abilities it's going to be garbage outside of doubles, and even then it needs tons of support to even think about doing anything with 40 base speed. i love the thing's design to death but it's just plain bad
and to think i almost had a new favorite bug type ;-;

>gastro acid or skill swap to get rid of its godawful ability
Why not just use a different Pokemon instead? Dumb gimmicks like Gastro-Acid, Entrainment and Skill Swap never work in doubles, they're only used in the lowest depths of the ladder.
