Comments closed and final summary: This video was created based on • Beating Cynthia with a level 1 Cottonee. After checking, it was a strategy that was possible not only in Blizzard but also in 2, and in fact, more than that, the sound of the original video was not good and it was a shame that PP recovery items were used during the battle, so I tried to reconstruct it. To be honest, when I first uploaded it, I just recorded it to kill time, so I didn't think this many people would see it, and as a result, it wasn't a strategy that I came up with entirely, so you can think of it as stolen. In the end, most level 1 plays are about using the matchup to drain PP or using the mind, so I tried to think of something that escapes that, but it didn't work out well. Pokemon: Somian Ability: Mischievous (If it's not an attack, it's like Lightning, with priority +1) Items in possession: Shiny Dust (20% chance to dodge the opponent's move) Moveset The moves learned are items that increase the maximum PP beforehand. Substitute: TM 90. Reduces ¼ of the maximum HP to summon a substitute. But here, the ¼ calculation is rounded down, so at level 1, 2 will be reduced by rounding down the decimal point from ¼ of 11. Originally, the maximum PP is 10, but it is raised to 16 with Point Max. 0:42, 0:52, 1:02, 1:26, 1:40, 3:07, 3:52, 4:07, 5:15, 5:25, 6:16, 7:28, 10:05, 11:57 / Used a total of 14 times Defense: Technical Machine 17. Defends against the opponent's attack. Defends unconditionally except in certain cases such as Feint and Shadow Dive. Originally, the maximum PP is 10, but it is raised to 16 with Point Max. 3:22, 3:42, 6:04, 6:28, 7:40, 7:54, 8:46, 9:08, 10:17, 10:30, 11:06, 11:23, 11:47, 12:14 / Used a total of 14 times. Sow Seed: Level 8 magnetic move. Reduces 1/8 of the opponent's HP each turn and absorbs it inward. PP is originally maxed at 10, but it can be increased to 16 with Point Max. It is a level 8 magnetic move, but why it is at level 1 is explained separately below. 1:07, 5:06, 5:29, 6:55, 8:18, 9:31, 10:54 / Used a total of 7 times. Considering the granite trait 'Pressure', it is used a total of 8 times. Shadow Clone: ​​Technical Machine No. 32. Increases evasion rate by one level. When it's maxed out, the opponent's attack will only hit you ⅓ of the time. If you include the sparkle powder in your possession, it's 4/15. Since it only goes up 6 ranks, we'll leave the max PP at 15 instead of increasing it. 1:50, 2:03, 2:17, 2:35, 2:48, 3:31 / Used a total of 6 times. Poison Powder: Level 22 Magnet. Inflicts poison status on the opponent every turn. Ineffective against Steel-type Lucario. After catching Granite and leveling up, you can learn how to erase Shadow Clone and put in instead. (4:54) PP 35 / 5:49, 7:07, 8:29, 8:58, 9:42, 11:16, 11:40, 12:06 / Used a total of 8 times Basic strategy 1. Use the characteristic to create a substitute until you evade with the sparkle powder effect, and if you succeed in evading, recover with Sow Seed. 2. After that, wait for the sparkle powder effect again and if you evade, raise your evasion rate with Shadow Clone every time you evade. 3. Once your evasion rate is all increased, wait for Granite to be stunned while using Defense. 4. When Granite is stunned, you will level up, and at this time you will learn Poison Powder. 5. From now on, you can rely on your evasion rate and kill them one by one while drying them up with Sow Seed + Poison Powder and then sieging in with Defense + Substitute. 6. However, in the case of Togekiss, the Wave Bullet - Swift Combo is just a matter of luck. Regarding Granite's trait 'Pressure', the trait 'Pressure' doubles the PP consumption only for moves targeting itself. Therefore, Substitute Moves, Defense, and Shadow Clone used on the Pokemon using the move are not affected by the trait 'Pressure'. The trait 'Pressure' doubles the PP consumption only for moves targeting itself. Therefore, Substitute Moves, Defense, and Shadow Clone used on the Pokemon using the move are not affected by the trait 'Pressure', and only Sow the Seed is affected by the trait. Reference: http://blog.naver.com/hyungwon13/1008... How did Sow the Seed, a level 8 self-power move, learn at level 1? Many people may have overlooked this, but Pokemon hatching from eggs can inherit moves that can be learned by leveling up later in addition to the set breeding techniques. This is the case when both parents have learned the corresponding move, and the Pokémon coming out of the egg can learn the move by leveling up. The Somian in the video was bred with a parent Somian that learned Seedling, so it is possible that it already knew Seedling when it came out of the egg at level 1.
