its just volcanion with ice beam. volcanion honestly is an extremely fun mon to use imo so im fine with this even if its a bit lame.
this ones alright, legit just a nerfed melm. pretty lame but it will still be good so i have similar thoughts on it as i do for volcanion.
great defensive cornerstone for this team, fantastic physical wall that also provides defog support. cm sets are also pretty neat, though im not sure how good they'll actually be. nice mon
probably the best winner of the whole slate, this thing is very cool. sap + cage + plume is a very cool combo and can shut down passive mons very well while also deterring physical attackers, though honestly this thing has a lot of set variety with the additions. awesome mon
my sub. honestly I think it works quite well with this team overall, giving it some strong priority and webs since none of the mons here exceed 100 speed currently, making the speed support pretty notable. don't think it's a great sub tbh but it works quite well with the rest of the team on paper
this one's okay. i don't think it synergizes very well with the team bar melm as of current but it could get better when more pokemon are added that work with it more. i think it's kinda weak when compared to the rest of the additions here as well, although it does provide the team a setup sweeper and sr user. one question though. why would you remove FImp? could've been useful on some sets here and definitely wouldn't be too strong
one of the better ones here. specs and all out attacker kyurem are very fun and losing roost means that the sub roost sets are gone (thank god). not a ton has changed for it, but what has is pretty noteworthy and i like it quite a lot, honestly shouldve voted for it ngl. defog is also neat even if im doubtful that it'd use it
not a fan, magic bounce seems very tacked on to this solely because of its mega, doesnt seem to synergize with the mon itself well at all, i guess its a good antilead since you prevent rocks and just click sd? idk other than that it seems pretty useless to it. otherwise its just a pretty generic sd mon, hits hard with sucker and has solid coverage, not much to say.
pretty unique, not sure how to feel about this one. seems pretty crazy on paper. i like the idea but im a bit worried about how this will function once it gets in, not sure if teams are gonna be able to answer this consistently. cool mon tho
probably the worst winner here, sorry. gets around its bad typing via having extremely over-the-top bulk, pivoting, and reliable recovery. gonna likely be extremely unfun to face if you dont have the 4x since the bulk is so absurdly high that even moves its weak to are gonna struggle to wear it down, not to mention it being able to bring in mons super well with parting shot. just not a fan at all.
best apoc winner imo. otr sets are going to be risky due to its typing but very rewarding if pulled off, drain punch is a great addition as well, makes it much more sustainable, pretty cool overall.
