Regular Muk didn't get anything new I pressume... This thing is so much better with the additional STAB and it has less weaknesses.
It'll probably work however it currently works when Dragalge with it uses Poison Tail.I'm wondering how poison fangs would interact with poison touch. Would it be two separate 50% chances to poison?
Also Poison Touch is 30% chance to poison, and Poison Fang badly poisons.I'm wondering how poison fangs would interact with poison touch. Would it be two separate 50% chances to poison?
You could replace Pursuit with Clear Smog just to clear away any stat boosters.I think Alolan-Muk can be quite useful.
For example I've thought about a Rain/Electric team which look like : Tapu Koko/A-Raichu/Pelipper/M-Swampert/Rotom-W/A-Muk.
In that team, whatever the talent he copies, it's actually good, and the team isn't made with A-Muk in the center at all, it's just a good addition.
He can compensate his only weakness with Levitation, or it becomes a rain/electric setter, or it doubles his speed. Its typing is awesome, and it's good by himself anyway with its good movepool and base stats.
He can run a set like :
A-Muk @ Assault Vest
Gunk Shot
Knock Off
Pursuit
Shadow Sneak
Receiver cannot copy Wonder Guard, so I guess Power of Alchemy cannot copy it too. :(Waiting for confirmation from someone that Power of Alchemy works in singles. If it works, pairing A-Muk with Shedinja wont even be "gimmick", it'll just work incredibly well. Your only bet to counter this strategy will be burn and roar/whrilwind.
As has been mentioned, Poison Fang badly poisons the target, making it a separate effect from what Poison Touch provides, meaning that it still has a 50% chance to badly poison, while also having a 30% chance to inflict regular poison, meaning a secondary effect will occur 4 out 5 times.I'm wondering how poison fangs would interact with poison touch. Would it be two separate 50% chances to poison?
That's not how Power of Alchemy works. The ability is useless in Singles, it has to be working with M-Medicham in Doubles.Could you run this thing with M-Medicham and have it switch in after the faint? 105 atk with Pure Power O.o
