Wow ,Stealth Rock??!!?!
T-thanks, Roark.....I'll definitely use that.

campaignshitter Stealth rock is one of most the broken moves in pokemon

>>57906886
Bro...? Your Rapid Spinner...?

>>57906893
Bro...? Your spinblocker...?

>>57906881 (OP)
Why do you type like a faggot?

Rocks are low key good in campaigns its free damage because the enemy ai is dogshit and uses some shit like bide turn 1 anyway

>>57906895
Bro...? Your Pursuit Tyranitar...?

>>57906899
It trivializes any Bug/Flying/Fire/Ice type gym leader more than usual.

stealth brock

>>57906886
If it's so good why doesn't her ace have it learned? Dump smogshitter lmao

>>57906900
Bro...? Your Fighting-type coverage...?

>>57906924
her geodude has it DOE

>>57906925
>Gengar used Focus Blast!
>It missed!

>>57906924
>her
Roark has bigger boulders than (You).

>>57907121
this is a girl actually

>>57907140
Her dad is so hot

>>57906886
broken in smogshit != broken in the actual game

>>57906881 (OP)
>all three Sinnoh starters learn Sneaky Pebbles
Pretty fun.

>finally make a good rock move
>give it to a trillion non-rock pokemon
WHY

>>57907140
Respect his pronouns

>>57907140
I'm gonna fuck Roark regardless of what's in his pants.

roark’s a hardworking, coal mining, stealth rocking, tm giving white man

>>57906881 (OP)
Even if NPCs almost never switch, being able to get free chip damage (or severe damage in those who are weak to Rock) for every subsequent member of the enemy team is really fucking good.

>>57907286
How often in campaign do you have an opponent that's weak enough that you can put a turn into stealth rock or spikes and not die that is also strong enough that you couldn't have swords or dragon or quiver danced on that turn and swept their whole team

>>57907402
lance

>>57907402
>weak enough
Every single trainer. Stealth Rock can be learned by a shitload of Pokemon, so just dump it on something fast that can go first and dish it out on turn one.

>>57907416
why would I do this instead of just 1HKOing all their pokemon

>>57907407
yeah fair enough for stealth rock.
Lance even seems to have some weird AI that makes him switch pokemon out abnormally often

>>57907402
Why don't you emulate the game and find out instead of asking stupid questions dumbass?

>>57907421
>n-no, I HAVE to play the game as optimally as possible! I HAVE to grind my starter so I can OHKO everything mindlessly and not spend a single brain cell on caring about the game!
At that point just play randbats on Showdown until Champions is nearing release, thereby giving TPC full grounds to start going nuclear on Showdown and its forks.

>>57907443
>n-no stealth rock is good you just have to play like shit on purpose
agreed water sport and mud sport are good moves

>>57907432
because it's a rhetorical question, I'm saying stealth rock is rarely performant
like in campaign you probably fight a full team of six pokemon less than ten times per game and the AI almost never switches, how could a move designed to punish human style switch-in in vs. modes be worth its moveslot in 99% of cases

but the guy that said it's good for lance is 100% correct, stealth rock miltank or something makes it so a whole team tier of shittier or lower levelled pokemon can handle that fight.

>>57906886
Well it's terrible for in-game purposes
And because it's a reward for beating a gym leader you have to reset your game and re-play up to Roark to get more copies of it

>>57907449
Define playing like shit.

>>57907471
this is why 99.99% of stealth rock uses are in competitive
because in the campaign you can count the amount of times the opponent switches on two hands, often only one

>>57906881 (OP)
Good move for taking on Cyrus since his entire team is weak to rock

>>57907277

>>57906893
being forced to run a shit move like rapid spin is simply proof of the power of stealth rock

hyouta’s a hardworking, coal mining, stealth rocking, tm giving ainu man

>>57907670
Rapid Spin hasn't been a shit move since rocks were introduced, and it's been flat broken since gen 8

>>57907677
Based!

It's actually pretty good against quite a few late-game bosses.

>>57906886
I'm sure it's great for the 2 to 3 pokemon it affects in the Battle Frontier.
