    Oh a Gravity team. I remember wanting to suggest that on the last video but just kinda forgot to do it. Glad you still picked up what I never put down 👍👍
    One thing I've wanted to do was use the 50 base accuracy moves with Gravity as well. I don't know why Inferno only has 50 accuracy when it just has 100 BP but it might be a good way to spread burns, especially on an Assault Vest Pokemon. Gravity+Inferno is about 83% accurate while Will-o-wisp on it's own is 85% so it's not too inconsistent. Zap Cannon has the same 50 accuracy but at least comes with 120 base power and guaranteed paralysis. And also Dynamic Punch but honestly you're probably just better using Focus Punch or Focus Blast.

    • @foofootoo
      @foofootoo  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah the 50% accurate moves are really tough to justify even in gravity because they don't become 100%. I think they should be more powerful than they are considering how unreliable they are

    @callmebope3359 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used this team and I remade some parts of it. I noticed that iron valiant is a really strong partner to sandy shooks and espathra since it’s naturally fast and has hypnosis. If you lead espathra and sandy shooks get gravity up and sandy shooks faints you can now send in valiant and then put both opponents to sleep in a single turn. With blunder policy or agility you could even boost your speed with it!

    The use of Gravity here makes me wonder something: If moves like Gravity, Hone Claws, Defog, Sweet Scent, and Telekinesis exist, and are decently common, why is there an evasion clause?
