[Monroah]

Eevee breaking Ubers over its knee wasnt something I expected to hear today but its so funny, I love it

[njivwathomassilavwe]

Quiver dance is Arceus's gift to bug types and dancers

[ES-dptw]

Quiver Dance: "You are safe now my sweet child."

Basic butterfly level mons: "I owe you my life-"

Volcarona: "UNLIMITED POWER."

[pureevil]

You forgot to mention that Clangorous Soul is a sound based move so can be combined with Throat Spray to get +2 SPA.

[FarCritical]

She smashes sea shells on the sea shore

Three things are certain in life, death, taxes, and Volcarona sweeps!

17:05 - Fun Fact: Clagorous Soul is considered a Dance move... Not a lot of people are aware of this giving it a great surprise factor on top of an additional Omni Boost to an Oricorio, whether it be from a Teammate or Opponent Kommo-o.

"After his third quiver dance, volcarona was effectively immortal"
*Tuca donca intensifies*

Falinks with No Retreat: Am I a joke to you?

[gillesprezudent]

Consider this. Iron Defense is a Physical version of Gen 1 Amnesia for Body Press users that also grants an effective Intimidate immunity for free.

[blacklusternolegs]

Shift Gear - "Give it to Metagross and watch things drop" Please? Can we please have this gamefreak?

[nintenster]

Ok, thats Jim and FS's video on boosting moves, now we just need Wolfys video

[theskullboy]

Volcorona: alright boys listen here. Saying something is “gangster” is dissing your fly girl. Just hit him with one of these

**proceeds to break it down**

FSG missed 2 things when speaking on Geomancy. First was XY fullpass who would pack 5 support pokemon including 2 memento users, usually whimsicott + cottonee just to set up Geomancy bp smeargle into espeon giving it a 560 bp stored power through moody accumulations and geomancy. Second thing they missed about Geomancy is Z Geomancy Xerneas, who was a screens HO exclusive in SM, but Z Geomancy gave you an omniboost + geomancy, so you became basically unkillable paired with ingrain and rest. The only way to beat this mon was unaware, since phasing couldnt beat it and +6 moonblast would 2hko even full spdef Ho Oh

[mariocruno]

Boosting is everything. The volcarona theorem

[royaldonut]

You forgot to mention Z-Conversion on Porygon Z. I mean how perfect it sounds and it worked really well too, since giving omniboost to Porygon with adaptability boosted thunderbolt or thunder could easily sweep whole teams. This set could still be occasionally seen in NatDex

[zzzzzzzzz]

The Tanjiro thumbnail is a masterpiece

About coil

What makes the accuracy boost huge is when you realize that physical attacks actually have tendencies to miss a lot more often than special attacks

Plus, if a move has 75 accuracy and above, one accuracy boost makes them 100

Garchomp, using hone claws, gets to incite ptsd in other players by spamming dragon rushes that cant miss, alongside stone edges and namely iron tails that all cant miss, and in alola, pairing that with a darknium Z turned hone claws into an accuracy boosting swords dance

Took me a while to understand how awesome hone claws/coil is, and im pushing for wider distribution for it as a result

Just think about moves that have less accuracy to balance their power, and how one accuracy boost can impact that

[pepepepegavillage]

Quiver Dance is truly a move of all time.

[JulianimeIsAmazing]

Just a side note about the disrespect towards Coil, that accuracy boost is way more significant when you factor into Zygarde mostly running Dragon Tail for STAB, a move that has an extremely contentious 90% accuracy. The reality is that in this game, any move that doesn't have 100% accuracy may as well have 50%. The problem is that, while the player has more agency in running that risk with moves that have 50-85% accuracy, moves with 90-95% accuracy missing feel much more like the game is cheating the players rather than the players having gambled and lost. Especially when a lot of the time these 90-95% accurate moves don't even have real alternatives, like Play Rough, and even Rock Slide which has a pitifully low power. So it's worthwhile to have Coil boosting accuracy when a single miss could cost you your setup sweep. Especially if Zygarde is also running a surprise Iron Tail to specifically hit Fairy Types harder, the accuracy boost isn't negligible, it's probably the most useful stat to boost in the game and the problem is ways to boost accuracy aren't as widespread or reliable. I'd say Accuracy is even more important than Speed.
