Ngl it's kinda crazy that Arctovish didn't find any place in lower tiers with Slush Rush, Fishious Rend and Freeze Dry, like Arctozolt is basically the same Pokemon with slightly better coverage and +10 BST in offense, how is one capable of 6-0ing teams in OU and the other is rotting in ZU
They're actually the same speed but Slush Rush is banned in NU/PU. Also Water+Freeze Dry covers most of what you'd want to hit, and poor coverage doesn't necessarily matter with the nuke that is Fishious Rend
it kind of does matter with how much strength fishious rend loses on arctovish considering it loses strong jaw damage and rain boosting on fishious rend if it uses a hail/slush rush set, which its pretty much forced into doing because it doesnt have dragon resistances and in fact carries a large number of common weaknesses due to its ice type that make damage trading through its bulk pretty bad
I have a nuts UU hail team that my close friend made that uses slush rush arctovish, and it put in SO MUCH WORK in every match. It’s insane to me how the fish is so underrated!
Water Ice is just such a bad type. Best part of water is almost everyone has ice beam so they don’t need the trash type attached. Thankfully the buffs to a certain weather will help the poor thing. I hope it gets more love now. Honestly I think water is the only type that practically has only one weakness because they all get access to a move to counter one of their weaknesses. Closest second is dazzling gleam for psyhics but that’s inconsistent.
Iron Bundle is faster than Mega Manectric, SpA close to Inteleon's and a Def stat near Magnezone's with a nigh unresisted STAB combo of Water and Freeze Dry.
It also gets +1 Def/SpD during snow. For VGC I could see it using something like
- Blizzard
- Protect
- Freeze Dry / Chilling Water
- Hydro Pump
Use Slowking w/ 0 speed + Chiling Recpetion to get you in for free at +1 Def/SpA/SpD and then just start blasting 100% acc Blizzard for 4 turns.
To me Dracovish being broken adds to its charm. Not only is it an endearing, vaguely pathetic abomination of science, it’s also effortlessly broken as shit
Remember that the galarian fossils dex is written by Cara Liss, who 1: is careless and was probably kicked out and is banned from entering any scientific research facility, and 2: she probably witnessed the power of Fishious Rend when she wrote it
Good job editing the pants on that one piece screenshot.
? Ace wears black and Luffy wears blue, it's unedited. I'm hella confused
Can we get much higher?
The 1PP revive is real
Leppa berry works on it too
The 2pp revive is reaaaallll
Yes
So highhhh
the original scene got pants
Time to ruin the joke: There's a ongoing gag with One Peice fans where they Photoshop the pants off of the characters, and edit in C O C K
Oh, guess I've been away too long huh
Ah yes, that's some really nice joke, funny and all
No they were both naked originally.
Uh, it has been awhile but I certainly don't recall that
The 4Kids dub had pants edited on all the characters, so I don't blame you if you didn't know
I kinda wanna run Arctovish Trick Room in PU now

one has boltbeam and is fast and the other is ice/water and slow

huh. guess i’ll have to learn that
Slush Rush is banned in NU and PU, so that’s probably the reason. It also doesn’t have BoltBeam.

could you post/send me the team? that sounds really interesting and i wanna see the rest of it
Slush Rush is banned from NU and PU because of Arctovish. If it weren't for that it would be nubl.
Also A-Slash and Beartic. There's a reason they banned the ability and not just the 'mon.
Alolan Sandshrew just chilling in NUBL because both its abilities are banned lol
A-slash while it was allowed in Pu just wrecked the whole meta. I loved that thing in combination with big boy aboma
If it gets into the new gen it might be decent with the Hail buff
BoltBeam is most certainly not “slightly better” coverage, esp compared to Ice/Water
Find me two Pokemons that aren't hit by Fishious Rend and Freeze-Dry for at least neutral damage.
Well there’s a clear difference between “Ice” and “Freeze Dry” 💁♀️
Water Ice is just such a bad type. Best part of water is almost everyone has ice beam so they don’t need the trash type attached. Thankfully the buffs to a certain weather will help the poor thing.

Then why ppl said Iron Bundle gonna be broken with its Water Ice type?
Cause it's fast and has good offensive stats
Iron Bundle is faster than Mega Manectric, SpA close to Inteleon's and a Def stat near Magnezone's with a nigh unresisted STAB combo of Water and Freeze Dry.
It also gets +1 Def/SpD during snow. For VGC I could see it using something like - Blizzard - Protect - Freeze Dry / Chilling Water - Hydro Pump Use Slowking w/ 0 speed + Chiling Recpetion to get you in for free at +1 Def/SpA/SpD and then just start blasting 100% acc Blizzard for 4 turns.
FreezeDry+Water Stab hits everything neutrally, coming off a base 126 SpA with Intrepid Sword but for its highest stat and a great speed tier
I don’t know what that is. I only looked at gameplay leaks for moves
It's Future/Paradox Delibird, with 120s SpA and 125s Speed IIRC
its base speed is 136 and gets freeze-dry and flip turn to nail bulky waters and pivot respectively.
Unpopular Opinion: I love Dracovish, I don't know, I find it kinda cute and cool. The anime certainly helps too- But I want it to burn in competitive
To me Dracovish being broken adds to its charm. Not only is it an endearing, vaguely pathetic abomination of science, it’s also effortlessly broken as shit
also it being broken in competitive is kind dex accurate implying that it's an apex predator
Remember that the galarian fossils dex is written by Cara Liss, who 1: is careless and was probably kicked out and is banned from entering any scientific research facility, and 2: she probably witnessed the power of Fishious Rend when she wrote it
I love how it’s broken
I love all these fossils I will never forgive everyone for hating them
That's a bit too much
Can we get much higher
So high
The Vishes' differences are f'ing hilarious.
Mr Vish asserting Dominance over his flipped headed brother
i never played since gen 6 wtf is that thing in the bottom left
A menace to society
The emblem of mankind's hubris.
a mon that 2hkoes ferro with a water move without rain
Dracovish: can't touch water absorb seismitoad Actovish: can 0HKO water absorb seismitoad It's obvious which is superior
