Link to discussion? Is it in their Pre-release discussion thread or something? Didn't see anything in Policy Review.

FUCK NO! NO NO NO NO NO! FUCK YOU SMOGON! I've loved Obstagoon from DAY ONE, and I fucking believed she could be capable of being OU since the beginning! I was more loyal Obstagoon than any other nu-mon I've see thin gen more loyal than I've been to any of the starters. Fuck you Smogon you will not take her away from me!

Yea, but that doesn't answer my question.

I read in some other thread that it has a move called obstacle to go along with Belly Drum and Sucker Punch. I don't have a clue what obstacle is and how it'd make it Uber worthy.

Figured I'd get an answer here, but I should have known better.

The move is called obstruct not obstacle.
Obstruct works like Protect except on direct contact it harshly lowers the attacking Pokemons defense.

Obstruct: it’s a kings shield like protect that lowers the opponent’s defenses by two stages.
You either switch into aegislash and sacred sword/scare it out as it sucker punches, or maybe it belly drums and you die to an at least +5 crunch after shielding the first bite.

obstruct is nowhere near as broken and 50/50 as king's shield + stance change
if it's actually banned then smogon is confirmed retards for all eternity

Thanks anon. Stats seem pretty solid for what it needs to do.

I'm guessing Obstruct, Extreme Speed, Belly Drum, and Sucker Punch/Crunch is going to be the standard set.

Looks like barely boosted attack, heavily boosted defenses, and same speed from Linoone. Eh, I mean with flame orb+guts+STAB Facade+Knock Off it's still gonna be hitting pretty hard. Do we know anything about its movepool other than Obstruct and the obvious?

Are you even familiar with the Zigzagoon line's movepool? Literally all it needs is belly drum, obstruct, extreme speed, and sucker punch. It can go full adamant and not even have to really invest in speed at all to get shit accomplished.

I hope if it does become a problem, they just ban Obstruct. The mon itself seems like a lot of fun to use.

I feel like it's gonna have a difficult time finding an opportunity to Belly Drum. It loses Gluttony, so it can't just fully recover all of its HP like Linoone upon using the move.

Assuming it's brought in on a pokemon with nistly contact moves, with its new move it becomes a 50/50 on protect or belly drum, so.

Obstruct and belly drum forces the opponent to play your mind games. They can either attack and have their defenses dropped, which means you'll get a belly drum in. Or they'll predict the obstruct, but if you predict that prediction, you can just belly drum and they're fucked.

He's kind of a high risk high reward Pokemon.
