If you manage to out speed there team and survive a hit after using Hone Claws, you’ll not only get more attack but you’ll also fix the accuracy drop from Hustle. Easy sweeps without been hit by priority
No fully evolved Pokemon gets both Hustle and Hone Claws though. The only Pokemon with that combination is Rufflet, but it loses Hustle upon evolving into Braviary
Right, this wasn't meant to be a comprehensive list. There's a few others out there that I didn't mention in this video. Moody also comes to mind for example
Back in gen 5, Rivalry Haxorus was used a few times specifically to counter Landorus, Tornadus, and Thundurus (they're 100% male so there was no guesswork).
The sheer force ability isn't also kind of a double-edged sword? More damage in Ice Beam is cool but that 10% freeze could also help you a lot when landed
Honestly, I see a 30% burn chance on a move and think "sweet, this'll be great on a sheer force set", like, I'd rather lose the secondaries of a bunch of moves than not have sheer force most of the time (to the point where I'd rather it ate crit rate so I could run sheer force stone edge over rock slide...)
They should make an anti sheer power. Attacks with secondary effects lose all damage, but thier effects get a huge chance boost, if not just be a certainty
@@NokoTheTacomaybe he played a ROM hack where Sleep can be applied on a Pokemon that already have a different status on? I'm playing an Emerald hack and Effect Spore was bugged and applying a status on an attacker that already had one.
The W is pronounced like that because it comes from ZWEIL, the German word for the number 2. Deino and Hydreigon's names include the German words for 1 and 3 as well

Whoops scuse me I just double checked, Durant does as well, my bad
@@MEPlaysGames I should have mentioned i was referring to Durant lol. It’s not the best strategy in the world but it’s fun to pull off on Showdown
THEIR
the aura abilities also can be countered by aura break
That’s a pretty specific drawback though, since it’s Zygarde’s signature ability. I thought about including it in the video but decided against it
@@MEPlaysGames fair enough, no-one uses it over power construct anyway
Today I learnt Fairy doesn't resist itself.
Also Rivalry supposedly only boosts confusion damage in Gen 4.
Technically Anger Shell can also be considered a "double-edged sword" ability because it lowers yours defenses at half health
Right, this wasn't meant to be a comprehensive list. There's a few others out there that I didn't mention in this video. Moody also comes to mind for example
And it has the worst downside of all: an eternal boosting animation

"Only flying types could survive no guard fissure"
Meanwhile, sturdy mons crying in the corner
I like the idea of No Guard. Can't miss but can't dodge.
I was expecting you to mention the ability Moody
12:00 We have to keep genders in mind in Gen 9 thanks to enamorus having to choose between contrary super power sets and cute charm calm mind sets.
That's why I said *almost* no Pokemon will choose Cute Charm
@@MEPlaysGamesBut this is the one very rare instance you can play around it existing on this one pokemon making it even worse 💀
The REAL question this video brings up is:
Does having Komala on the team automatically proc the 'only one pokemon asleep on a team' rule?
Might be obvious but comatose also makes them a free meal for anything with dream eater without using hypnosis
4:19 STELLAR?????¡!???1!!!!

I mean yeah, but there’s a LOT of abilities with drawbacks, so I couldn’t have talked about them all in detail in one video
Sheer force life orb means it's always better

in some games i've seen that sleep can override the other listed status conditions (para, psn or tox, and burn)
That’s only for Rest.

4:19 LMAO, you just predicted the stellar tera blast Serperior set
I wonder if Showdown knows about confusion damage being boosted by Ribalry in gen 4
You can also one shot no guard machamp easily with your own ohko
2:29 also air balloon. its not like pokemon dont use it. you see goldengo using it
Actually any status ability like static could be bad if you need to use another status in a Pokémon
Does No Guard works on all Pokemon in doubles?
Most abilities are beneficial and Pokemon are better off with them than if they didn't have them.
Regigigas: is this a freakin joke
Key word -MOST-
Isn't there a lens item that boosts accuracy of moves by 20%?
It's called zoom lens. It's a good item until you see that the accuracy increase only apply if user moves last. So it's better to use wide lens.
@@merahsuc4750 Guess that's the bad part. Can't even bring your slow Hustle Poke in a Trick Room team with that item on.
Oh it is MEplaysgames because its Mat and Elias
Hustle is kinda the WAY worse huge power
6:02 im sorry zweilous is pronounced like what?
The W is pronounced like that because it comes from ZWEIL, the German word for the number 2. Deino and Hydreigon's names include the German words for 1 and 3 as well
that's why most people hack pokemon
Yeah. I just want Solid Rock on Regirock and Filter on Regice and Registeel.
evil tall 👍
