>>31495116I understand anon. I used to be the same way (only cared about / played singles) but this year I've finally got an IRL friend who also knows competitive pokemon, but he only is interested in vgc. He's actually willing to give me rides to regionals and is springing for hotels and shit too, so guess who cares about vgc this year lol.
Anyway- Mainly that it's part of the AFK (arcanine, tapu fini, kartana) core that is fucking up everywhere at the moment.
Fire/Water/Grass is a fantastic synergistic combination.
I've actually been running Marowak/Fini/Kartana on my team, which I feel is even better (Ghost/Fair/Steel trio in the same three as F/W/G) and i'd been trying out Enosh's calm mind fini; which is why I've asked in this thread a few times why people think it's a bad set.
It's.... definitely weird. Everyone is right about the lack of reliable recovery fucking it over- sometimes a neutral switch in that gets it below yellow just ends it right there- but it is a weirdly amazing wincon on its own right, which I wasn't really expecting. Also there's a lot it can set up on in the current vgc meta (quite a few things that can't even touch it) so I've gotten to +4 many times now, sent out marowak to eat lightning attacks, and then rape face cause nothing but opposing kartana can touch it (and half my team can take kartana anyway cause it's everywhere right now).
I'm still unsold on it. I think it can probably perform really well if I learn it well enough to be able to know/recognize/play around any of its weaknesses, but I'm not sure if it's worth it, because of aforementioned problems.
Sorry, long post is long.
As I said, I've been persistent about asking why it's bad cause i saw a lot of it in this thread, and that hit close to home for me at the moment. ;p
