>>47806184Dewgong is the best Encore+Disable trappper in the game
Ampharos is cool and mega ampharos is tanky and hits hard enough that Agility becomes viable as a setup move
Jumpluff is really good in 1v1s, fast leech seed stalling with Substitute spam is nasty and it can force people to deal with it using Infestation.
Misdreavus and Murkrow are both really cool perish trappers with eviolite
Smeargle is a god, one of my absolute favorites. I especially love using him as a trick room FEAR sweeper. There are countermeasures, but it just as often makes people surrender when a second mon gets hit with endeavor
Masquerain is shit but I like it, and it gets both Sticky Web and Quiver Dance, with Hydro Pump as cheeky coverage, so that's something.
Breloom is fun to use and pretty cool, Spore+Swords Dance along with Technician Bullet Seed and Technician Mach Punch is pretty wacky
Plusle is useless but Minun is surprisingly versatile, it can Baton Pass nasty plots, or be used alongside RestTalk Klinklang/Ampharos in doubles to spam Magnetic Flux using Mimic. Mimic solves its moveslot problems, letting Minun carry Wish+Protect+Toxic and still being able to copy attacking moves when needed such as Klinklang/Ampharos charge beam after your defenses are thoroughly buffed. This strat is really fun, throw in a Shuckle with guard split and you can make the survivor unkillable after one goes down. If the survivor is Klinklang/Ampharos, all you need to do is poison or burn all remaining ground types, and if the survivor is Minun, all you need to do is burn any remaining steel types. Or just bring in a psych up user and get another unkillable monster.
Swalot is adorable, I wish it had more use, the only special thing about it is that it learns Ice Beam.
Spoink is also cute. It's not super great, but it at least gets eviolite and Psywave to Toxic stall things through RestTalk
