Now, Sturdy is only supposed to work once, so why did it keep repeating every time I attacked Donphan, which again, was Lvl 1?

 

[Kantrip]

Sturdy stops you from dying any time you get hit while at full HP. Level 1 Sturdy Endeavor is used pretty effectively here I see

Ghost Types, entry hazards, phazing, and other things like that are helpful to counter this.

 

[Blaziking17]

At least there are counters, thank God. I had never seen that before, so it was shocking at first.

Thank you Crimson.

 

[MK26]

lmfao, thats amazing

i believe weve found gen 5's improved FEAR combo

sandstorm
shell bell
sturdy
endeavor
donphan

now how the hell are you supposed to make an acronym out of that?

 

[Kantrip]

SDESS?

Or Sturdy Shellstorm lululz

 

[Wave⁂]

Probopass is better.

 

[kirbyraeg]

Aron is better.

 

[Wave⁂]

I'd argue that Probopass and Aron are equally good, due to them both x4 resisting SR and immune to Toxic Spikes.

 

[kirbyraeg]

I just don't like how probo can be blocked by substitute, but then again, Aron can't hit ghosts. I guess it's still technically even?

 

[EpixAura]

Lol, this old trick. Once again, entry hazards, statuses, phazing, ghosts, or something like Scizor with immunity to sandstorm and a priority move.

It's best to couple things like Aron, Probo, and Donphan with Espeon. You can reflect their entry hazards which would otherwise ruin your sweep, as well as any statuses. It's pretty easy to predict when they will use a status move on those guys, after all.

 

[Wave⁂]

Probopass doesn't need Espeon to reflect back entry hazards. Priority isn't important at all, you're going to be outspeeding these level 1 Pokemon anyways. Phazing doesn't do anything, as you're still left with a 1% health (more likely dead) phazer. Stealth Rocks and Burn don't work on Probopass.

Points for being the first Probopass fan I've ever seen. Priority is to outspeed things like Ice Shard on Donphan. Also, I suppose multi-hit moves would work well to get rid of things like those. Pokemon like Scizor and Mamoswine with priority moves are pretty much counters for this. Immunity to sandstorm + priority against Ice Shards and other priority. But still, they will be left at 1 HP...

 

[Kantrip]

Probopass represent!

Won't Shell Bell put them back at full health again from Endeavor so that even immunity to sandstorm won't help to counter it? If they run a priority move then they don't need to rely on the sandstorm.

 

[Pink Reaper]

This guy cheated.

Donphan cant be lvl 1

 

[Blaziking17]

This guy cheated.

Donphan cant be lvl 1

Thank you. One of the points I was trying to make besides Sturdy being broken as hell.

 

[mood4food77]

but probopass can be at level 2!!!

 

[Wave⁂]

but probopass can be at level 2!!!

You necro this thread for... this?

 

[Enzo]

Wait, you don't have a Jellicent?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
EDIT: Psplit works on ghosts so....

USE GOLURK

 

[mood4food77]

honostly, i didn't realize what i posted would be a necro bump, it never gave that message warning no the bottom like it usually does and i wasn't paying attention

that's my bad guys, sorry

 

[MK26]

bumping this because somebody tried this with me yesterday, except with a lv 1 aggron lol

i didnt realize it was lv 1 at first so i acctidentally let it kill my toxi's sub (and by extension, kill my toxi)
i coulda just brought poli in to kill the sand but didnt feel like it
so i ended up tricking my latios' choice specs onto it for the lols

Level 1 Magnemite though?

Donphan can however be level 5 though, through the Emerald Pomeg berry glitch.
