Who do you all think would be the best users of Psychic Noise? It's a move that's really captured my interest and I would love to give it a shot on a team.
Honestly you could replace anything that uses Psychic normally with Psychic Noise and is little bit of personal preference. For -15 BP you get to block all forms of healing besides Regenerator.
Imo that’s a steal. Against bulkier Pokemon, you most common switch ins, you deny them passive recovery and direct recovery, which can range from ultimately doing more damage to X no longer walls you because you prevent them from recovering. Only exception being Regenerator, which either you deal lot of damage anyways or deal poor damage anyways.
Also the difference in power, especially in this meta, is hardly noticable. You deal 83.33% less damage, so for Psychic’s OHKO ranges to matter it needs to deal 119.9%-100%. Any more and Psychic Noise can still OHKO and any less and it’s a 2HKO where Psychic Noise is favored. But since this meta is mostly HO you’re likely going to KO everything anyways with so many things being so frail and hazards being up.
You can use Psychic if you want for more fire power, but I feel like Psychic Noise is better in 99% of scenarios.

The shittiest version of dracovish that is allowed. Truly a pokemon of all time.
Shouldn’t it be proto-Dracovish since it existed before the frankenfossils?
