Also, as many Poison types as there may be for Toxic immunity, I don't think anything but a Specs Octillery or something could scrape Shuckle. Any other damage I'm fairly certain it could just rest off, including Toxic.

He has NO health.
Unless someone gives him an item that UPs heath, we will see none of this.

Re: NU Metagame
Y'know what I like about this NU list? It just looks fun.
It doesn't seem like it'll be the same as the Standard metagame, where essentially, the fastest and most powerful Pokemon win. With this list, it looks like it'll take a lot more to win. New strategies, dedicated team building, and maybe the general drop in big stats will let some Pokemon work with sets they otherwise could never hope to use. For instance, maybe Dustox (especially if Rocks end up banned), can actually function as a respectable Sp.Wall. I mean, it works out pretty well in UU, but in NU, it might actually be like a mini-Blissey, only with Toxistall instead of Seismic Toss, and Roost instead of Softboiled.
Chimecho might actually be BULKY. Wouldn't it be a laugh if Bastiodon turned out to be broken?
Like I said, it just looks fun. I think I'll enjoy this.

Just so everyone knows...
Belly Drum + Extremespeed is ILLEGAL on Linoone. From what I saw in the CBox, some people didn't know that.

Re: NU Metagame
Come to think of it, that's true. ExtremeSpeed's a special move from that Pokemon Box game or whatever. It's like, the first special Pokemon you get from the game. Belly Drum has to be bred in. Hah. Poor Linoone.Sasami wrote:Just so everyone knows...
