>It doesn't get better than that, People would never use it with trace.>and there is no way Trace would ever be better than Rock HeadI never said that Trace is better than Rock Head or that it would be preferable. Like, actually think about this. Replacing its shitty OTHER ability with a better one is still a buff, regardless of your or the community's preference for Rock Head, or whether or not someone is actually using it. Just because you aren't utilizing what was buffed doesn't mean the buff doesn't/shouldn't exist. Someone might.
>What use could Trace actully offer that doesn't make you go "let me just give it Rock Head"?Rock Head Sudowoodo can pull off an attack maybe once, twice, or not at all before it kicks the bucket, even without recoil. I've used this a few times, as someone who likes Sudowoodo. I've also had a good number of successes with a build that utilizes Sturdy.
The hypothetical Trace Sudowoodo could be switched in on Pokemon with a plethora of type-nullifying abilities, especially if the opponent is Choice'd, and get a free hit or double switch on whatever switches in and come out unscathed (or at least less hurt than it would have been) itself. That's no even mentioning all of the other tricky bullshit you can do with Trace.
