Raichu is possible later. For one thing, Alolan Raichu exists (and will be legal once HOME support is added).

Is a physical set viable? Greninja has a lot of options in terms of physical moves.

Solar Power only boosts Special Attack in the sun. There is literally no reason to use it on a physical set.

Don’t know if there is any reason to use base form Calyrex. Only coverage moves it has are Pollen Puff and Draining Kiss. It is basically a worse Celebi.

Good Coverage Moves: (Italics = transfer) Energy Ball, Grass Knot- Water, Ground, Rock Thunderbolt, Charge Beam/Thunder Punch, Wild Charge, Fusion Bolt, Bolt Strike- Water Glaciate- Ground Focus Blast/Brick Break- Rock, Dark Scorching Sands- Rock Dazzling Gleam/U-Turn- Dark

Love how its SwSh Dex entry mentions that they kidnap Wooloo/sheep. Also, anyone have an explanation for how it learns Steel Wing? Yes, Gastly can learn punch moves and Primeape learns Iron Tail, but they at least have members of their line to explain it. Beheeyem, just doesn’t

I like the Magnemite line in concept, however it has some glaring issues. It only learns Normal, Electric and Steel moves, along with Mirror Coat and Body Press. It can’t cover any of its weaknesses, outside of using Magnet Rise.

For whatever reason, this is POTW #137 rather than #126 Good Coverage Moves: Flamethrower, Heat Wave- Ice, Steel (not a weakness but both STABs are resisted/immune) Hex, Snarl, Dark Pulse- Psychic

The Transfer Only moves section for Generation 8 excludes the Generation 7 games. This includes the Let’s Go games in addition to SM & USUM.

It will always bug me that it has only one Flying type move, which is Fly. It has none in PLA

Good Coverage Moves: Surf, Grass Knot- Ground Rollout (transfer only)- Bug Draining Kiss, Focus Blast, Disarming Voice- Dark

Since there is no multiplayer in PLA outside of trading and the satchel thing, are we going to ignore it for POTW? That would mean all of the new Evolutions/Forms along with Enamorus (& Samurott) would not be covered.

It has access to Stored Power, as an HR in Sw/Sh and as an egg move in BDSP.

Doing something similar to what I did last week: Fire, Electric, Psychic- no physical moves Flying, Rock- no special moves Bug- only has X-Scissor Steel- only has the inaccurate Iron Tail for a physical move Dark- only has Dark Pulse for special move Fairy- no moves period

Normally, I try to do my whole “Good Coverage Moves” thing with each POTW. However, that doesn’t really work for a Pokémon that can change its type. Instead, here is a list of types that Silvally lacks a good move for. Fighting- only option is Reversal Ground- has none Fairy- has none, outside...

I would like to note that the past 9 POTW posts have not been locked (that’s 102 to 110). Just wanted to let the admins know.

This move set is almost exactly what I am using in my Brilliant Diamond play through (though only the moves). I have Flamethrower instead though, due to better Accuracy.

As much as I want to recommend an Iron Fist set, I can’t. Yes, Infernape gets both STABs and a coverage move, but that’s it and the Fighting options it does get (outside of Focus Punch) only have 40 BP.

As far as I know, you cannot have a Mr. Rime with Toxic. You would have to bring over a Mime Jr. from a previous generation. Since it wasn’t from Sw/Sh, it will not evolve into its Galarian form.

Good Coverage Moves: Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Heat Wave (Fire Fang, Head Smash, Rock Slide, Stone Edge)- Ice/Bug Flash Cannon (Steel Wing, Iron Tail)- Ice/Fairy Focus Blast (Superpower)- Ice (Acrobatics, Dual Wingbeat)- Fighting/Bug (Zen Headbutt)- Fighting
