We found out recently that there are game changing TMs coming with the DLC that reintroduce very powerful tutor moves which will completely change competitive Pokemon!
#RagingBolt #IronCrownWhy Dipplin Will Change Everythingfoofootoo2023-08-09 | Four new Pokemon were revealed in a Pokemon Presents: Raging Bolt, Iron Crown, Archaludon, and Dipplin. While 3 of these Pokemon look like powerful beasts, it may be easy to overlook the tiny lil Dipplin - but don't be deceived! Dipplin has some extremely powerful tools that will completely change how viable certain strategies are...
#DipplinHow a New Move Almost Made Electrode Brokenfoofootoo2023-06-25 | Hisuian electrode has made its way into competitive Pokemon for the first time, and it's much better than Kanto Electrode purely because it has grass as a secondary typing. But that's not all it gained. Electrode also learned a new signature move, Chloroblast. This move has a lot of potential, and so I wanted to discuss how to tap into the raw power of Chloroblast.
#pokemon #electrodeTHIS Is How To Use Hisuian Goodra!foofootoo2023-06-04 | All the Hisuian Pokemon are in Scarlet and Violet now after a Pokemon Home update, so I decided to use Hisuian Goodra with super fun and surprisingly strong strategy featuring hisuian lilligant!

#pokemon #spidopsWhy Iron Leaves Will Be Good, Actually.foofootoo2023-02-28 | Iron Leaves and Walking Wake were just introduced into Pokemon Scarlet and Violet via Tera Raids! Walking Wake is getting a ton of positive comments, but a lot of people aren't so enthusiastic about Iron Leaves. But I'm here to be Iron Leaves' cheerleader - I love its animations, it's got a super interesting stat spread and has a very intriguing niche in competitive Pokemon...

BUT it does have a unique move, Triple Dive, which gives it an unexpected role. So I built this super fun team using Palossand and Armarouge to make the most of Wugtrio's new move!

So I decided to give Tinkaton the Pure Power ability to double its attack. Let the bonking commence!
