Grassy terrain boost is applied before the game even checks for abilities that affect damage so by the time Technician checks the damage, the move will already be above 70 damage
Completely unrelated but I absolutely adore that rillaboom Sprite, I just like the way he looks looking like an actual gorilla and not human in a gorilla suit
@salvadorhernandes3257 rillaboom's in game model and battle pose is off putting. It looks like a human in a suit. The sprite in this video has it in a more natural looking "gorilla" hunched over pose which just looks nicer imo
@@rayqcina4869 bro that's all I've wanted for so long. With the state of power creep at the minute it wouldn't even that horrific if he got Brave Bird. Also, if we got the likes of wild charge and flare blitz, they would be huge for him too. Since he can already use the elemental fangs is it really a stretch to say he can't use those too?
@@rayqcina4869 Radical Red had a good compromise - you could get an Aerodactyl with Brave Bird & Headlong Rush, which makes contact so it is boosted by Tough Claws as well. Honestly, it makes Aero one of the most frightening Megas in the game, one turn of Dragon Dance is all you need to wreck shop lol - and assuming you don't Mega you still have Rock Head brave birds flying around lol Wild Charge with Terra Electric + Dragon Dance + Rock Head would go pretty damn hard to be fair. It would mean he could nail the Bulky waters that might otherwise withstand his damage!
I'll be crying tears of happiness. Scald is actually my favorite move in the game. It's so unique as it's boiling water so it's a water move that burns! I hope it isn't just Volcanion and Milotic that can learn it tbh.
Man shuttup lmaoo. Cryin about how scald and toxic exist and then are perfectly fine when garg salt cures everything that doesnt run a niche item. Insane
Why breloom? Its 70 base power, right? So it isnt technician boosted and breelom has an attack that is barely higher than rillaboom's AND breloom cant set grass terrain on a switch. Or is this a joke i am not getting?
Oh, im dumb. Still therr is the posibility that rillaboom can not learn grassy glide this gen, maybe it will be able for Tapu Bullu now. That would at least be interesting since Bullu has a lot more weaknesses than Rillaboom and cam not learn Fake Out.
So I tested it on showdown with trailblaze scizor. The terrain bonus goes BEFORE technician, so it wouldn’t actually be 60*1.5*1.3 = 117 BP, it would be 60*1.3 = 78 BP which is too strong for technician.
Scale shot garchomp was the most stupid set this pokémon ever runned, it clearly deserves better than this gimmicky move. Hope it receives extreme speed instead, it's literally in its pokedex description
@artimist0315 I mean, with loaded dice garchomp might be great, will no longer have to rely on scarf and dice will make scale shot good physical dragon stab
@@autistic_potato1037 Where did you get that information from? That feels wrong. It was my understanding that only moves with variable base power like grassy knot can lose their technician boost because it makes the move itself have more than 60 base power. Terrain boosts the power of moves similar to rain and sun. Wiki says from Gen 5 and onward, technician is no longer effected by modifiers, and terrain should count as a modifier.
I have a feeling that even eith the nerf to 60 BP, Rillaboom will still ve hitting like a freaking double decker bus, just one going slightly slower than before.
All they need to do is lower the bp and burn chance. Scald does too much damage for the stall move that it is which allowed too many offensive Pokémon to run it. And 30% burn shouldn’t be more common on water type than fire type. Chilling water was the right step. I think if chilling water had a whirlpool effect it might have been a suitable replacement.
@@kevinstephenson3531 scald is not getting nerfed. It's either back or not back and I remember seeing confirmation of it coming back, tho it could be flawed.
The 2 other tms i want to comeback are triple axel and defog, triple axel so just mainly weavile can comeback a little bit and defog because there are really few ways to remove hazards in Ou
I do hope Weather Ball comes back as a TM. So that I don’t have to waste a Tera let’s say for example Tera Fire Venusaur with Tera Blast just to have Fire Coverage. Plus Weather Ball was a fun move to experiment with different Pokemon that was in Gen 8.
If the Isle of Armor tutor moves are coming back then that should mean Flip Turn will become more common. I don't know much about VGC but I'd imagine Corrosive Gas and Misty Explosion could also mix things up.
I would love to see dragapult have access to poltergeist since its only other physical ghost move previously was a 2 turn move, and effectively rendered its ghost typing offensively obsolete.
vgc has really become the "better of many evils" game recently with the hell that has been unleashed hasn't it (stares at the urshi-twins, fluttermane, and cocaine bear)
I kinda want Synchronoise to come back as a tm, with terastalising running rampant having a move to potentially counter mirror matches could lead to the game being more interesting and might require more guess work and more strategy with Tera's in general
Scorching sands is my favourite to come back. Triple axel was maybe a little too strong and ice spinner works well enough anyway. I want lash out to be back for Bisharp. To give a good stab with synergy to defiant.
Rillaboom definitely has potential in ou, especially with some of the pokemon it threatens. With a Choice Band, Drain Punch is a guaranteed ohko on Kingambit unless King teras, Grassy Glide is a guaranteed 2hko on offensive utility Great Tusk, with almost a 20% chance to ohko outright without using tera, Nasty Plot Gholdengo is ohko'd by Knock Off, can OHKO Iron Valiant with tera grass, and threatens Ting-Lu and Hisuian Samurott.
I wish we got all of the Isle of Armor tutor moves. Or at least the ones people were actually using. Flip Turn and Dual Wingbeat would be nice. Not to mention that having moves only really be usable for half a generation is weird
You have to take into consideration that Rillaboom MIGHT NOT learn Grassy Glide through TM. Just because they learned it in the past doesn’t mean they will have it now (looking at Weavile not having Throat Chop)
I just want toxic to be slightly universal again. It bugs me how Umbreon can’t use toxic(unless transferred) especially when it has/had a dex entry talking about having poisonous sweat
Made a full video with my thoughts on this if you want to check out the long form content. Should be attached!
if annihilape gets lash out thatd be fuckin hilarious
