people thought you'd be forced to switch at the end of the turn, not have it cancel your fuckin attack to switch

also golisopod is still solid

They really need to give this thing a second ability that isn't highly situational.

Hell, it's stats and movepool are so good that even with no ability at all it would still be awesome.

How do you even run this thing?

First impression is super tempting, but bug is one of the worst attacking types in the game and it wastes the moveslot if they predict the obvious first impression and switch in a bug resist.

I want to run aqua jet, but also liquidation, and don't want to waste 2 moveslots on water.

Other coverage moves may not be useful because of awful speed

literally the only reasonto use it over Scizor, Heracross or Pinsir for your Bug-type physical attacker if your team needs a pokemon with Fake Out to work, but only if Fake Out is the worst type in the game

First impression hits like a truck even resisted and it's a super bulky pokemon with VA on. Just don't be one of those retards who slap CB on it and say it sucks.

protip, use sucker punch instead of aqua jet unless you're going for a gimmicky sword dance set

I run mine with a life orb. If i havnt swept the entire enemy team by turn 3 then it forces a switch anyways and i can save him for later. Of course /vp/ is full of shitters that dont understand strategy.

They need to either fix Emergency Exit or give him a new HA next game. It's absolutely unacceptable that GF would gimp best bug like this.

Would making emergency exit activate AFTER golisopod attacks be a benefit? What tier would that make it?

If we are talking offensively, grass is way better than bug. Hitting water and ground super effectively is way better than hitting psychic and dark

If we are talking defensively, then there's a debate there, but I'd still lean towards grass being better

it would be better if it's ability was replaced entirely by forcing the opponent to switch out if Golisopod's attack brought it below 50% HP, but it only worked once per match

Wimpod and Golisopod should have HA's named Plan B and Bushido, respectively.

Plan B does a U-Turn before exiting at 50% heath.

Bushido sharply raises attack whenever below 50% health and refreshes moves that can only be used on the first turn.

But Bug counters bulky Grass/Psychic types and hits Dark types, Dark and Psychic both being perennially relevant. Meanwhile Grass is resisted by the same number of things, the most relevant change being Dragon is swapped for Fairy. I certainly wouldn't say Grass is a better attacking type than Bug.

Depends on the item. Choice Band? FI,Leech Life,Liquidation,Filler(Poison Jab or Payback could work. Or Aqua Jet to revenge skill weakened or frail Water weak threats).

AssVest? FI,Leech Life,Liquidation or Razor Shell(higher defense dropping chance makes it better utility wise), Sucker Punch, Payback, or Aqua Jet(priority options might be better if you got a successful defense drop).

SD? Leech Life and Aqua Jet is a must. The last option is up on you. It's ability prevents it from staying in the field for too long to even run Swords Dance effectively.

Yes, incredibly so. A slow U-turn every turn would make it a fantastic pivot that allows pretty much anything, especially fragile pokemon like pheromosa, to switch in without problems. It's the most logical solution, but GF won't do it.
