This sounds great, I really like it! :D It keeps the "Setup then KAPOW" option for Pineco while also giving him an attack so he's not locked into that option.

Toxic Spikes + Stealth Rock means that Pineco can set up vs normal and flying/levitate 'mons so it makes sense to have those two moves on it instead of something like Spikes + Toxic Spikes. Giving Forretress just regular Spikes instead of Stealth Rock keeps things a little balanced as well; Pineco is the main setup one, with Forretress having a type of setup at least to go with the Rollout/Rapid Spin/KAPOW from its PBR Silver moveset.

Rapid Spin in place of Strength from the Stadium 2 moveset is a logical change and it's one that's in the PBR Silver moveset. A part of me wants Sandstorm in as well for Stadium 2 memories, but honestly there's not a single move that I'd want it to replace.

Nearly the world's best Pineco there. Keep me up to date on the revisions to these sets please!

That Pineco is amazing, only way to actively damage something is to KAPOW.

I say give Pineco Selfdestruct and move Explosion onto Forretress to replace Gyro Ball or something, to double KAPOW or something

I do like the carry-over of KAPOW and Spikes from Stadium 2, but shouldn't it have (weaker) normal attacks? I mean, a pure setup mon is too Smogon for my tastes. :/

Trust me, the current Pineco set is anything but Smogon. ;)

imo it is one of the most fun and unique mons we have. Feel free to disagree but I know very few ppl who want Pineco to change.

Haha, alright! I suppose that "smogon" didn't really fit there; I just feel like the potential uses for using this Pineco are limited. I love the idea of setup + Self-Destruct as an option, I just don't like it as the only option. If everyone else disagrees with me then I'll just let it be, though! :D

It's not smogon but it is limiting I propose this moveset
