I know it. You know it. Let’s just get it out of the way now. This mother fucker gets Slow Start, everyone point and laugh. It is a tragedy though. With 160 base attack, 100 base speed, and 110 in all of HP, defense, and special defense it has a great stat line. But Slow Start cuts that attack and speed in half for the first 5 turns it is on the field and it resets every time it switches out. God hates this Pokemon. The only way it can function is with a partner who knows Gastro Acid, or Worry Seed to get rid of this awful ability. If you can unshackle this monster, it can absolutely win games. Getting it going might be worth it, but by the time you get it out of bed, you might already be too far behind to salvage the match. A high risk/ high reward Pokemon destined to languish in rounds 4 and 5.
