GameFreak introduces a new ability; when the Pokémon uses a self-destruct style move, it survives the explosion on 1hp.

How would this change competitive?

Nothing because Explosion is garbage move since the BP got nerfed. Give me back the super-powerful Explosion, Gamefreak.

It would change literally nothing, if your pokemon outspeeds the opponent it faints the same turn unless they use a stat move, if it's slower it faints the second turn before it can pop off another explosion. Sure you could use something like recover, but modern gamefreak only likes to give spesshul abilities to one or two pokemon and usually it's the only useful ability, anyone who tried to use it would get rekt by anyone who isn't an absolute retard.

>explosion from behind a sub
>explosion triggers salac berries and gang
>explosion + reversal

probably not S tier in OU unless they give it to something stupid but it would absolutely get fringe use at least

Barely at all.
Explosion was better when it was an actual kamikaze attack.
