Chilly Reception is a good move in singles. It is a slow pivot move, meaning that unlike normal switching which always happens first, you cannot hurt the incoming Pokémon, only the Slowking (which usually has regenerator anyways).

It also gets rid of sun, debuffing Protosynthesis pokemon.

I still remember when Smogon had a meltdown about Z-Celebrate in Gen VII because of how strong the boosts from it were.

Chilling reception was created because teleport was removed from slowkings move list, gen 8 teleport was incredibly good on defensive pokemon allowing responsive switches, along with facilitating slush rush strategies in singles.

Really? No one gets the Slowbro knowing Chilly Reception joke? It's a Refrence to Pokemon 2000, where we have a talking Slowking making bad jokes while complaining about the cold.

Chilly Reception is really good actually. It functions as a teleport that helps out Ice type team members and shuts down enemy sun/rain.

7:30 Chilly Reception is REALLY good for Slowking competitively because it allows Slowking to pivot out and gets to heal from Regenerator. And Galarian Slowking ESPECIALLY benefits from this since unlike Slowking it can't learn Teleport due to it not being able to be transferred. And even without Ice types it's worth using because it won't harm your team.

16:45 - A hard Quash defender here:

Quash is an EXCELLENT move to deal against both super fast (Flutter Mane) or Trick Room (Ursaluna) mons, if used by a Prankster user such as Sableye

I've literally managed to reach Master Rank easily with my Sableye using it

Chilly Reception is a great move
It allows you to switch at the end of the turn (not exposing the mon you are sending out to attacks) while also setting up snow
If you pair it with slush rush, like beartic, you have a nice setup
Plus, Slowking's Regenerator ability makes so he benefits tremendously from the pivoting

[Angel-wdgt]

Mortal Spin is actually a prevalent move in competitive singles due to stealth rocks and spikes (both versions) being decently common, especially with the introduction of clodsire that can carry all of these moves. Mortal Spin functions like rapid spin while also spreading poison to an enemy pokemon.

[TimeBucks]

Spotlight is actually sometimes a pretty useful move

[Hobi_Noodle_Soup]

Ok I'm actually in love with the move names for the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee games lmao. Imagine getting knocked tf out with moves called "Baddy Bad" and "Glitzy Glow"

[boomsandapples]

Chilly reception is actually a REALLY good move in singles. Being a pivot move on a bulky, slow, pokemon already makes it great, since it allows another pokemon to come in without taking damage, but the hail also combines very well with pokemon such as baxcalibur.

[spinnie_boi]

Spotlight actually does have a niche use in that if your other Pokémon uses a move like outrage that hits a random target, you can force it to hit a specific target with spotlight

[squiddorito]

6:59 Chilly reception is such a based move concept in-universe tho. Sloking remembering a terrible joke only to tell it later and NO ONE LAUGHS is absolutely perfect

[DraconicFlower-mzlw]

Petition to get a redesign of the Baddy Bad shirt

[Silver-Arm]

Celebrate was a good move in gen 7, because Z-Celebrate gives you a omni boost. But it's so inaccessible that I've only seen it in Pokemon Showdown

[lluisjuan]

Chilly reception is actually a great move in smogon singles. Slowking+Regenerator+slow switch is a great pivoting combo.

[supxrkicks]

lunar blessing is very common in VGC right now, because it pairs beautifully with guts/flame orb Ursaluna

[FireLordSSBU]

21:23 Take Heart can be called by Metronome, and raises both Sp. Atk and Sp. Def by one stage each, and heals any non-volatile status conditions.
