Disclaimer: Yes, I KNOW we are not supposed to talk about in game strategies, this is not an in game strategy, this is for online against other people that I use from WITHIN the game, which I mention later in this post, but if I don't put down the disclaimer someone will jump down my throat for "asking for in game team help" which I am not, it's online against other people that I just happen to be accessing from in game because I don't use simulators.
I am having a really hard time figuring out what to do with my Chimecho, and before someone copies and pastes a smogon strategy, I already have another Chimecho I use for battle, the thing is I got this shiny Chimecho (originally a chingling) while I was breeding for my main chimecho and since it has the wrong nature for what I use my main Chimecho for (because you have to use an incense to breed and this shiny came with a Bold nature), this one I opted to make a healer on my team.
Anyway, it has Recover, Heal Pulse, Skill Swap, Entrainment and holding a mental herb to prevent it from being taunted but the thing is, to be the best healer I really want it to also have Heal Bell so I want to get rid of Skill Swap or Entrainment but cannot decide which. (If only Heal Pulse could heal the user OR a team mate and not just a team mate!) If I get rid of Entrainment, I can never get it back, whereas Skill Swap I could get it back, I don't know if having JUST entrainment is as useful, which is why I need help, input and opinions please! (and actual opinions from posters, not just copy and paste please, I want to know WHY you are saying what you are saying)
Now obviously in addition to being a healer, I also planned on using it's ability changing moves to either get rid of a team mates negative ability and give it to opponents (using both Skill Swap and Entrainment), or to give a team mate Levitate if needed (so if I have a steel, rock or electric type team mate, giving them Chimecho's levitate with Entrainment, depending on what the situation dictates at the time of battle) but again, once I get rid of Entrainment, it's gone forever, so I want to be absolutely sure which one to get rid of. And I can't even try out strategies because before I go online or even the Battle Maison, the game saves so whatever I decided is now saved and can't be changed. so I really, really want as much input as possible please. And again, (because that's what people tend to do and why I'm trying to over explain my position to hopefully STOP it from happening) please don't copy and paste from competitive sites, I want to know why YOU, personally, the one reading this, thinks I should get rid of one or the other. (I'd also be open to maybe getting rid of Recover if you have a good enough idea of Chimecho's self recovery, also because I can get Recover back if I delete it as it was an egg move, pretty much the only move that is non negotiable is Heal Pulse) And to further add information, I already know the difference between what abilites Skill Swap and Entrainment do and don't affect:
Skill swap doesn't swap:
Wonderguard
Multitype
Illusion
Zen mode
Stance change
Entrainment doesn't overwrite:
Trace
Truant
Multitype
Flower gift
Imposter
Zen mode
Stance change
so if that helps others with an opinion on what I should do, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks for all input, I want to make the change tonight if possible.
