Right, just thought I'd get a discussion going on this new zam-esque pokemon. I'll just throw her (strangely enough, it can be found as male as well) stats up here for reference:
~MAX STATS~
HP: 340
ATTACK: 229
DEFENSE: 229
SPEC. ATTACK: 349
SPEC. DEFENSE: 329
SPEED: 259
Type: Psychic
Traits: Synchronize (Status Effects used on this Pokemon, also are applied to opponent's pokemon: ie. PAR/FRZ/SLP) or Trance (Copies trait of the opponent)
Alrighty, so those traits alone look interesting, and those stats are pretty impressive. It's like a zam (slightly less spec atk, and a chunk less speed), however with far more defense capabilities (I mean, check out that killer Spec Def!). To top it off, she's got a great variety of moves at her disposal. here's a funky lil' moveset I'm toying with:
Mean Look/Hypnosis/Dream Eater/Meditation
~ Here, Saanaito can Mean Look the opposing Pokemon to start. Then, she'll attempt to put the opponent to sleep via Hypnosis (her stats are high enough to allow her to take several hits while trying). From here, she can use a dream eater if she truly needs to recover some HP, but the best bet would be to start meditating to bring that Spec ATK (and spec def with it) up to phenomenal levels. She'll then be able to start OHKOing pokemon to death, excluding darks of course. Just a thought.
Anyways, she also has moves like:
Destiny Bond - Can usually be counted on as a guaranteed KO. Further, I can't see this being expected on the average Saanaito, so you may get the surprise factor here.
Will o Wisp - Burns opponent much in the same way Stun Spore does. On top of dropping opponent's HP, this move will half their attack, and would help Saanaito greatly with her Defense rating (tho, it is higher than zam's significantly).
Attract - Same deal as with GSC, will prevent the majority of attacks from ever reaching Saanaito. Paired with Mean Look/Meditation... ooh, the possibilities.
She also learns defensive moves like reflect/lightscreen. And she gets the mysterious "sealed" attack. Ooooh... ;)
Anyways, I can totally see her getting some serious play in R/S. Any other strategies or comments? Post away :yes:
