How to Use Pickpocket Grimmsnarl on Pokémon Showdown

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
  • I've been requested to make a team around the niche Pickpocket ability throughout the years and finally decided to give it a try on Pokemon Showdown, I turned Grimmsnarl, a Pokemon mostly used as an obnoxious support into a hilarious sweeper with this funny meme team in the DOU tier. I got some iconic replays with a side of salt and rage on-top of the normal repetitive cringe edits for viewer enjoyment! If you enjoy the Pokémon showdown content, don't forget to like, comment, subscribe and share the video with a friend who might enjoy Competitive Pokémon content as well!

      This effect, plus: you use the item instantly. This can cause some weird effects, sometimes OP sometimes worthless. For example snatching someones weakness policy and activating it without being hit, grabbing someones sitrus berry and eating it before you drop below 50% HP, life orb immediately taking 1/10 of your health, using up your power herb even though you weren't charging a 2-turn move, getting ejected right after pickpocketing an eject pack, the possibilities are very interesting and definitely something Weedle could work with

  • @NightFreeze9128
    @NightFreeze9128 ปีที่แล้ว +568

    Something neat about this team that I don't know if everyone watching will notice is that beyond the Hitmontop double Weakness Policy synergy, every other Pokémon on this team that has a way to proc Grimm's second weakness policy (namely Mew and Comfey) also has an item that Grimm benefits very specifically from stealing. The Comfey's Big Root helps with the HP gain from Draining Kiss and Drain Punch, and the Mew's AV works because Grimm has 4 attacking moves. Yet another example of Weedle having absolutely insane awareness while team building. Also that Fling strat in the bonus battle is awesome, for some reason flinging the two random TRs that happen to have 130 base power moves in them is so satisfying to me.

    I didn't knew Fling worked like that but, according to Bulbapedia.... "If the user holds a TR, Fling's power is equal to the power of the move the TR contains".
    So that Weavile literally threw an Overheat power (130% Fling) after activating WeaknessPolicy.... Weedle you are defenetly on another level

  • @chamber4

    So today Weedle taught me that Grimssnarl can learn Power Whip and that not only can you fling TRs, but that fling's base power is based off of TR. TR 43 is overheat so Weavile got stab 130 BP move, that was incredible!

    Reminds me of a silly combo I had involving Weavile with Fling and Pickpocket, and Oranguru with Symbiosis and Instruct. Throw your item, get handed another, throw it again! Only works for one round, but I liked the mental image of Weavile chucking stuff at the enemy with Oranguru handing it more while egging it on.

    I really had to look up what was going on with that Fling play in the bonus clip. 7:18
    For summary, the Dragapult activates Weakness Policy Pickpocket Weavile and gives them TR43. For TRs, Fling uses the power of the move it contains (10 if it's status or variable), and TR43 is for Overheat
    You can throw a Weakness Policied 130BP Dark move on Weavile
    Wow
