>>33910022Boomburst is also 100% accurate and bypasses subs. Along with Earth Power it gives him pretty potent offense. I will probably boost his stats and give him Ice Beam.
Trick Room intrinsically requires an entire team to support. I think Slowking can find enough opportunities to switch in and set up if he's the setter, or predict the switch and attack with terrain boost, or keep his Regenerator option like Megabro often does. I can't fully predict its viability but I think it would be an interesting dynamic to explore.
Jynx would actually be one of the faster Nasty Plot users in the game, but I suppose I could make its main stats at least match M-Houndoom.
Nido has the same wallbreaking power while having way more targets he can deal with, and without being choice locked. One of which includes unscarfed Lando. The thing is his 100 BST distributes almost perfectly to maintain his LO damage with 20 remaining in speed. I guess I could deduct his attack, although it doesn't feel kosher even if it's more optimal.
Jirachi isn't usable in ranked. I take the Gamefreak approach of balancing around cart, not smogon. Doubles included but not as central, but that's where Rock Slide would shine, and there's no physical variant of Togekiss in ranked. Again I guess I could deduct from SpA. Would be odd if she ends up with more attack than King.
I just remembered my meme with Infernape: I was making Ash-Greninja. +10 speed, +45 in offenses, with a KO based ability. I then chickened out and put 20 in defenses, giving him Buzzwole's offense stat, which still fits the KO meme. I guess the whole thing might have been slightly ill-conceived. I was torn between lots of things so just followed the meme for now. Will probably reverse the nerf, if nothing else.
Empoleon would have pretty good coverage with EQ, though it's not boosted. I feel like he has enough defense to deal with walls, plus poison immunity, although burns would wreck him. Might have to go ham with attack.
