Is it still possible to create a new <500 BST pokemon without a special snowflake ability and still be competitive?
>>
>>24672146
It's called Breloom.
>Poison Heal
Technician Breloom.

>A Grass/Steel with the same stats as breloom with 20 less speed and 20 more attack, Technician and Bullet Punch

Not him, but by proving that Breloom is a sub-500 BST Pokemon with a non snowflake ability, then yes, it is possible to create a new one, which is the point of the thread. Also Skarmory.

>>24672146
Mega Sableye has 485.

A Fairy/Ground special attacker with Sheer Force could be good at any reasonable PP

Pretty good senpai. What's the type
>>
>>24672637
needs STAB priority moves or extremespeed to be viable. Boosting moves would really help too.
>>
>>24672654
>>24672645
Well then Normal type

>>24672146
Real tired of all those "more power" abilities and priority.
>>
>>24672154
>>24672187
Unrelated but i really hate this fucker and i never understood its appeal
>>
>>24672146
sure

here's a list of sub-500 bst ou pokemon
>azumarill, bisharp, breloom, chansey, clefable, ferrothorn, gengar (exactly 500), klefki, mega sableye, scizor (exactly 500), skarmory, slowbro

now most of those have good abilities, but other than azumarill and maybe clefable and mega sableye I wouldn't call any "special snowflake"
>>
>Talonflame
>Slowbro
>Altaria
>Bisharp
>Ferrothorn
>Clefable
>Mega Sableye
>Mega Mawile in Ubers
>Lopunny
>Manectric
>Klefki
>Skarmory
>Breloom
>Chansey
>Azumarill
>Medicham
>Sableye

Granted, some are solely here due to their megas.

>>24672658
It should be normal/fighting with either guts or scrappy. Guts would make burns unable to stop your onslaught and Scrappy would let you destroy ghost types. Neither ability is overpowered but works well on this pokemon. Give it swords dance for those massive boosts and close combat + shadow claw for coverage. Talonflame can't do shit to you because of STAB extremespeed. Your main counter would be skarmory.

HP: 69
Atk: 100
Def: 60
SAtk: 65
SDef: 75
Speed: 131

Type: Steel/Dragon
Design: Snakelike Mechanical Dragon
Ability: Serence Grace

Moves:
Coil
Iron Head
Dragon Rush
Fire Blast
(Glare
Iron Tail
Headbutt
Elemental Fangs
Crunch)

So yeah should be an abusrdly fast flinch abuser, who can also paralyze the the opponent if needed - as both of its stabs are resisted by steel it's spatk is held high enough that it can do some nice damage with fireblast which will always hit after one coil, even with a jolly nature and no investments it might have a chance to twohit a defensive skarmory when carrying life orb

rate pls

Regular slowbro

Plus your forgetting uu pokemon can be used in ou to success, just because a pokemon isn't ou doesn't mean its bad.

Hell some ru pokemon can compete in ou in fact they catch people off guard cause no one plays the other tiers >:(

490 BST

Relevant Moves- Trick, Calm Mind, Nasty Plot, Amnesia, Rest, Moonblast, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Psyshock, Destiny Bond

You can either be Gothitelle with better neutral coverage and trap walls, or you can go the magic Bounce route and be a setup sweeper that is nearly impossible to Phaze. Roar and Whirlwind get Magic Bounced back, Ghost/Fairy typing means you're immune to Dragon Tail and Circle Throw. Only Mold Breaker Roar/Whirlwind or Foresight + Circle Throw can phase it, and who uses that, honestly? Once you start setting up it is very hard to stop.

You can also do Shadow Tag + Custap Berry + Destiny Bond for extra annoyingness.

>>24672694
It doesn't have any appeal, people used it because it has 100% effective sleep move and can abuse its ability.

Competitivefags would literally use a mon that's just a dog turd with a footprint on it if it had a broken enough strat

Breloom looks like a shit amalgamation of stuff that dont make sense

Why it hits harder than most fighting types save for a few megas, conkeldurr and machamp (tied), i wouldnt know
>>
>>24675026
Sawsbuck , Togekiss, and Dunsparce all have Serene Grace. Those pokemon are pretty ordinary if you ask me. It's not a special snowflake ability.

A special snowflake ability would be one the makes your secondary effects go off EVERY TIME, or one that raises 2 or more of your stats whenever one of your secondary effects go off.
>>
>>24675557
You don't get it?
Ever heard about poison coating?
It will make everything suffering including its own kind. Or you can take the red fungus way. Eat mushrooms, get vild and stronger. But ehh I might reach out too far on this one.
>>
>>24675557
Stretchy limbs means more power. Breloom has them, Mewtwo-X has them. Stretchy limbs makes you a shitload stronger.

Explain the hitmons then
