>>30824861>>30824879So here's the deal, the thing completely relies on Soak and STAB-dependent 2HKOs. Remove the STAB, remove the 2HKO.
Example:
>252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Pyukumuku: 82-97 (50.6 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO>Pyukumuku used Soak!>252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Pyukumuku: 55-65 (33.9 - 40.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO>Pyukumuku used Recover!Note this is with 0 held items on the Pyuku just to show what it does on its own. Unless that Garchomp got max damage RNG on both EQs, Pyuku will outheal and then it's up to good reads for calling a switch and Soak/Toxic punishing or to stay and Recover.
I love this poke with the favorite flavor berries, free Recover at <25% HP yes please.
