>>47824597Spinda has a surprising number of gimmicks thanks to contrary. It gets assist, so if you ever wanted to spam V-create and get boosts out of it, Spinda is an option if you build an entire team around it, which isn't as hard as it seems since there's a pretty long list of moves that can't be called by assist. It's also the only Contrary skill Swapper, and makes an excellent partner to Arcanine in doubles, triggering intimidate twice and buffing it up with Close Combat spam. It becomes a similar situation as the magnetic flux strat.
Chimecho gets Wrap+Perish Song+Recover, which is a pretty juicy combination. It also gets Cosmic Power+Stored Power+Recover, and is generally a pretty good user of it, only really competing with Sigilyph, which it isn't inferior to.
Bibarel is one of the few users of Moody, which instantly makes any pokemon 1000% funnier
Ambipom is the strongest role play user, letting you pull off gimmicks like serene grace Rock Slide/King's Rock Beat Up spam; smogon is dead to me
Serperior Leaf Storm spam is also funny.
Alomomola is generally just Vaporeon but better, if you need a bulky water cleric, it's my go-to.
Vivillon is unironically strong. Compoundeyes Sleep Powder, Quiver Dance, then Compoundeyes Hurricane is devastating.
Minior is one of my favorite pokemon and one of the pokemon I am most upset got cut. I love it, I love how it hits like a truck after a Shell Smash and I love that its stats and ability are practically made for abusing it. It's adorable, it's useful, why did they cut it and leave in ugly garbage pokemon with no niche?
Besides all those, yeah, shit like Masquerain and Swalot aren't super useful, but I still like using them.
