Clever. I was thinking honckrow can also work because it has insomnia, making it impervious to spore. It's also fast enough to take loom out.

swellow uses flame orb or toxic orb to boost it's attack with guts. you use protect to make sure you don't get statused before that. and then it can't be statused after. sooo yeah.... i lost.

I seriously need to make a mushroom counter.
