>Light ball now works with every pikaclone.
Who gets the most usage out of this? would you like pikaclones more/less from this change?

the dual typed ones really
emolga becomes a better zapdos
dedenne a mini tapu koko
togedemaru a better magnezone
morpeko would be so busted because of aura wheel is ridiculous and only balanced because of morpeko being a shitmon
interesting. this would definitely push the clones into competitive, which would be good for marketing on GF's end, but i wonder if it'd negatively impact how people feel about the clones, they're pretty inoffensive additions in each generation, but i wonder if people would hate them if they were forced into the light like this
>196 att togedemaru
>190 att morpeko
>110bp +1speed move coming out of 190att pokemon
you essentially gave the rat a rocket launcher
would this be enough to make them overpowered though? or would this just be enough to get them off the ground and be viable? (granted some of the pikaclones aren't all too shit, but things like plusle and minun, for example)
emolga sends zapdos to NU
252 SpA Zapdos Thunder vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 175-207 (51.3 - 60.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Zapdos Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 175-207 (51.3 - 60.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
vs
252 SpA Light Ball Emolga Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 204-241 (59.8 - 70.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Light Ball Emolga Air Slash vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Mew: 169-201 (49.5 - 58.9%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO
Not to mention emolga has motor drive, it also has nuzzle, energy ball, roost and defog
and its faster than zapdos
AND it has knock off, thanks to the light ball boost it can still run special and hit hard with it.
what about knock off? zapdos at least always has its damage so it'd be potentially more consistent, but emolga runs the risk of getting knocked off and losing half of its damage output for the entire battle
i mean, if you suspect something is about to knock you off you can just swap
>Light ball now works with every pikaclone.
woah that'd be super neat
lol, you're still sacrificing your item slot. but that would really make them good yeah
essentially gives them a Mega-Evolution wwww
Plusle and Minun would probably get some ridiculous doubles strategies
would be good in doubles but VGC has item clause so...
How good would Plusle Minun be?
>170 SpA and good-ish Speed
>access to Nuzzle, Nasty Plot, Volt Switch
you still have the shittiest physical bulk on earth though, you die any priority move ever
in Gen 6, would make them NU probably, maybe NUBL?
in Gen 8 (if they weren't dexcut.........) they'd sit in PU maybe
>Morpeko has Seed Bomb AND Psychic Fangs to make Ground and Fighting types eat shit
It'll probably a diet Cinderace. Would hate to see more fairies but eh.
all the pikaclones have shit crazy movesets to compensate their shittyness
pachirisu also has gunk shot and seed bomb
pikachu gets surf and fly
togedemaru gets u turn spiky shield zen headbutt, and all the stuff emolga and morpeko get that was mentioned before
and then you have non pikaclones who have tbolt and barely anything else (electrode, jolteon, ampharos, manectric, zebstrika, you name them)
Pikachu dead forever because all the clones are better.
