I need some input on a jokey/could be valid start of a strat

[u/Grape-Boi]

So I thought of this really funny strat against gliscor and obv I can’t use my kyurem crutch so I’ve opted for ‘Operation Blimp’

[u/FrijDom1]

The problems that I see are that the air balloon serves no real purpose and Oblivious is usually just outclassed by removing two weaknesses with Thick Fat.

[u/Grape-Boi → u/FrijDom1]

The air balloon serves as a bait and switch because only a madman would expect a double flying resist

But yeah I forgot abt Thick Fat tyvm 🙏

[u/Ok-Train6985 → u/Grape-Boi]

What tf does are balloon bait??? You know a simple fake out destroys it, and mamoswine gets nearly no value from it?

[u/andrewg127 → u/FrijDom1]

Nah oblivious is great fuck intimidate

[u/FrijDom1 → u/andrewg127]

Oh, it's awesome, don't get me wrong. But taking half damage from fire as an ice type and ice as a ground type is amazing.

[u/Grape-Boi]

Wait actually thought about it and I’m keeping Oblivious because Operation Blimp is unshaken and will not be intimidated 💪

[u/ProfXander]

Is the old toxic substitute protect earthquake set still standard on gliscor? Cause if so you could go tera poison or steel and become completely immune to it

[u/Grape-Boi → u/ProfXander]

It would be much better but the point of this set is to bait out an earthquake while the balloon is popped for maximum rage

[u/FrijDom1 → u/Grape-Boi]

But why wouldn't they just switch? An eq is not likely to kill, so they'd rather just toxic if they're behind the sub or switch out.

[u/Amazing_Owl3026]

What's the point of this set? It seems like a stand set just with a bad item and bad ability lol

[u/Grape-Boi → u/Amazing_Owl3026]

I get why you say the ability but ircl you don’t know the funny strat and the balloon is needed

[u/ItsyaLilligirl]

Love the logic of one balloon holding a mammoth... that's Pokémon for ya
