Petal Blizzard + Sap Sipper

[OLD GREGG (im back baby)]

With the introduction of the new BP90 Grass Type Petal Blizzard there is an opportunity to get free attack boosts while simultaneously doing decent damage in double battles....
I find mega venasuar to be one of the best users of this combination. Especially with a swords dance boost. Good sap sippers to use in this situation are Miltank, Goodra, Sawsbuck, Etc...
While this strategy is much gimmick it can catch people off guard and win you a sweep before the opponent realizes what is going on. I have not seen much use of this strategy so I thought I would share this.

This is basically just like Surf + Storm Drain and Discharge spam in that it's honestly a lot stronger on paper than it is in practice. You can't rely on having the two Pokemon you need on the field at the same time, and you're at a huge risk of getting blocked by Fake Out, Wide Guard, etc.

That is very true. It is a risky gimmick, that only pays off in certain situations. Just thought I would try to bring it to peoples attention, so they can look out for it.

It really isn't something that can catch you off guard. The Pokemon that have Sap Sipper usually aren't that viable in any other context so when you see a team full of Sap Sipper mons + Grass types you'll be able to see it from a mile away. And then as Arcticblast said you're super vulnerable once you do. Lockin this thread now



pwne edit: u forgot to mention that grass is resisted by seven types which is p sad lmao
