Primarina @ Choice Specs

- Energy Blast

One specs Hydro Pump and Dugtrio faints. (It can tank at least one hit)

Christos April 19th, 2017 1:15 PM

Primarina's only a check, not a counter, as if it switches into any of Dugtrio's STABs it dies the next turn. Hydro Pump's accuracy makes it even less reliable against Dugtrio. Air Balloon Primarina would save the day.

Naive Nature

5qwerty April 21st, 2017 5:20 PM

I have a question: what counts as "hax"?

If I go for Iron Head with Jirachi, I'm statistically more likely to flinch than not (60/40). Would it be fair to assume that NOT flinching is "hax", then?

(Not trying to take anything away from Chase, him posting Jirachi just reminded me of my question)
