    • @hollylucianta6711
      @hollylucianta6711 День тому

      It just doesn't hit hard enough. GF gave it equal points in A and Sp.A when it doesn't need both. Take some points out of Sp.A and stick them in Attack and Speed and it would be viable imo. I like its typing, it makes sense thematically, but yeah Ghost/Dragon is never going to be ideal when that makes you weak to both Calyrexes.

    • @somebody4094
      @somebody4094 День тому

      it could be the trick room counterpart of calidow at least in its original form by moving like half the attack and speed to special attack and for the bound form remove from the special attack and put in speed and attack

    • @zashinunes8191

      Yes it is, not sure about that set tho. But specially if you have a brain and skills. You don't need to use Meta Pokémon all the time, that just shows how bad you are depending on certain "viable Pokémon" to have some wins.
