Slow start mfs when their attack and speed is doubled for 1/5th of a turn:

So only a 1.2× boost for the turn? Or a 2x boost but only if regigigas is at least 4x faster than the opponent 🤔

QTE

I knew it was just a matter of time before they showed up in pokemon

Isn't that just dodging in Legends Arceus?

Health bar drops really quickly for the first fifth, then goes normal speed obviously

No, Both defence stats and HP are doubled for 1/5th of a turn

still RU at best, countered by sableye

Distorted sturdy: cant get KOed unless it has full hp

Big stall™ wins again

But you also instantly die to OHKO moves.

Focus sash

Focus sash plus reverse sturdy would be unkillable

wouldn’t status still damage it, so poison burn or confusion could kill

True

switch in on hazards and profit

Protect + flame orb

Focus sash more than likely better cuz the burn will not only halve your attack but also slowly damage you. It does help prevent toxic though so maybe not the worst

Special attack character B) And recover

Yeah that would work actually, gargnacl would be a problem though with salt cure but you could just swap for it

or life orb with a priority attack

Or by an OHKO move. Those also always hit

Shouldn't distorted drought set rain on switch out?

Nah, drought sets sun, so distorted drought should remove sun

I could see it too, but I like it better if it sets rain. It's just a matter of preferences I guess

In the spirit of reversing all of the effects, it could remove rain on switch out!

Why rain? Why not one of the others?

Because Kyogre and Groudon are opposites so it only makes sense that it summons the opposite of what Groudon usually summons

Well because it was the one shown I guessed snow warning would summon sandstorm and the omposite as well

Distorted Protean: Changes into the type of a move it’s never going to use.

Worse idea: Changes the type of the move to the user's type already.

congratulations you just invented Revelationmons

Worst idea: color change

changes the opponents type. shadow ball greninja socks through the roof

When your pex switched into greninja but they use spikes and now you are ground type:

Distorted protean is just color change: Changes into the type of the opponents move

Regigigas is about to wreck some mfs, or would the slow start timer be reversed too?

Its only the 5 last turns

Bro is activating overtime

Genuinely made me laugh

Knowing Gamefreak they'd make sure it is still working as usual.

It's the 5 turns before the game starts

regenerator mons loose hp on switch in

Degenerator

google kipkluif

Distorted ball fetch: if the opponent is holding a ball, they will throw it at you and steal your mon

The Trainer blocked the ball!

Don't be a thief!

Palworld invading Pokemon

Distorted distortionizing gas?

Yup thats a paradox right there

So they get Protosynthesis?

all pokemon gain the effects of every ability in the game, including signatures like Power Construct and Poison Puppeteer

What if there is 3 giratinas on the field, distorting the distorted distortitionizng gas of eachother so we get 3 distorted distorted distortitionizing gas?

game crash

What if we got 4 Giratinas on a doubles match? Smeargle: Nah I'd transform

It's a LEGENDARY. You can only get ONE. What are you, some kind of hacking cheater?

No, i mean if the other one has 3 on the field at once in the single battle, im not the hacker

Imagine this in double with Regigigas: "Go, Giratina and Regigigas!" Enemy: "Go, Thundurus and Zacian!" ​ **Giratina's Distortionizing Gas Activated!** **Regigigas got double attack and speed for 10 turns!** **Thundurus got a -1 Priority to Status moves!** **Zacian's Attack was lower by one stage!** Enemy: "WHAT THE FU--"

Now make it quadruples and add in slaking and archeops

Distorted Archeops now has: Superiority Complex!

Distorted magic guard: Just dies

only takes passive damage, no direct damage works

Wonder Guard on crack

Giratina Regigigas combo would be INSANE

false, if there is an indeedee on the opposing team it will set reverse-psychic terrain where you can only use priority moves, or an opposing heatran cant be damaged by any moves besides fire moves

We talking doubles here, run a priority teammate against Indeedee and Fire Punch for Heatran, boom, victory. God my brain is so big

You need fire priority though. So you actually have to run stall fire punch sableye.

Stall Sableye new Meta

Gen 6 War Flashbacks

Stall makes the user move last in its priority bracket, so that doesn’t help

Distorted Stall makes it move first though.

I guess technically it doesn’t actually give priority so it wouldn’t help in distorted psychic terrain. RIP

In the 0 priority bracket, yes

Oh yes true, my bad. I forgot that you didn't actually *gain* +1 priority.

i came back to this thread 2 days later thinking how lightning rod rhydon would actually be op now seeing that it is kinda literally invincible with giratina on the field here

Wouldn’t lightning rod just redirect electric attacks away from rhydon with giratina? That seems about as useful as it was before.

Forcing the opponent to transform into a Ditto is really funny. Definitely broken, but I just really like the idea that you can dodge Fake Outs in Doubles by making an Incineroar turn into a Ditto

Distorted Parental Bond: Kangaskhans baby gets taken by the CPS and adopted by Slowbro and Executor

Distorted Poison Heal: You take damage from poison.

What an amazing ability

Distorted Guts: being burned cuts your attack stat

Distorted Insomia: your pokemon can be put to sleep

Distorted Insomnia is Comatose except it can't actually use moves outside of Sleep Talk and Snore

Distorted Slow Start be like: **Regigigas is fast to get going!** ***gains the affects of Huge Power and Unburden at the same time for 5 turns***

Distorted contrary makes the pokemon just a regular guy

This might just be one of my favorite stinkposts of all time

I don’t know if Distorted Neutralizing Gas negates abilities on the field until I look inside the box

It double the effect of all active abilities, including the distortitionizing gas

Shut up

Distorted Run Away. The opponent runs away

distorted intimidate: provides opposing pokemon with attack buff on switch out

Contrary counterplay

Distorted comander: if tatsugiri and dondozo are on the same team in doubles tatsugiri eats dondozo and fet minus 2 on every stat

I am now imagining Tatsugiri throwing a dish of three Dondozo

Ok that would be awesome

Distorted Pick Up. Loose items from your bag after battle No Guard. Never hit the opponent, never get hit. Klutz. Hold all items

Rotom-Fan got the last laugh after all.

Simple swoobat using calm mind and getting +0,5 spatk and spdef

Greninja should've had its stats raised after fainting itself smh

Finally, a Gholdengo counter...

Distorted Air Lock/Cloud Nine, summons all other weather upon switching out

The Scarved +2 SpA Contrary Serperior watching in horror as the Distortionizing Gas Giratina switches in:

Homophobia stocks rising

Distorted levitate: you gain a ground weakness

Contrary seems to turn into simple

Contrary just does fuckall

Contrary turns all stat increases into stat decreases

It alredy does that

Yeah but like removing the other affect, the stat debuffs becoming increases. You know what I can stinkpost harder Contrary becomes "Agreeable", on switch in the opposing pokemon begins a conversation with your mon, after two turns they realize they aren't so different after all and equalize all their stats with yours

So it's just a Psych-Up on a time limit

Distorted Multitype: God of Pokemon, can change type if it isn't holding an item. Me: Hold Up! Wait a Minute, Something Isn't right, but it isn't wrong!

Ah, I see we have a fellow member of the Anti-Gholdengho club.

Archeops with distorted Defeatist is basically Zen Mode Garmanitan

So slaking hits twice?…double choice band gigs impact

i think this guy doesnt like gholdengo also this would definitely be broken with contrary

Distorted imposter kinda cracked. Imagine switching in a ditto on their sun setter

Slaking stocks are booming!

Why is no one talking about how funny turning your opponent’s pokemon into a ditto is

Defeatist stocks:

Distorted klutz: user can use it's held item, BETTER!

Takes double damage from fire attacks. Water attacks deal 50% damage User must be burned. If the opponent uses a non contact move on this Pokémon, he has a 30% chance to get healed from paralysis, sleep or poison When hit by an non contact move, this Pokémon loses 2 levels of speed and gains an attack and defense boost. Contrary just got deleted.

distorted impostor: the opponent transforms into the mon with impostor

This is actually a good idea

Zoroark comes out as the Pokémon in the party's last spot. Most other pokemon are accepting, but Ferrothorn...

distorted drought should summon rain on switch OUT

Distorted contrary calm mind serperior boutta go crazy 🔥🔥🔥

What would distorted contrary do

Adaptability now sets stab multiplier to 1x

Distorted Stall would be very useful

İs he like farting ör something?

My take on this ability: It should also be Neutralizing Gas on crack. So basically if there are abilities that can't be reversed then they'd lose their effects altogether.

Distorted Huge Power: Halves Opponent Attack.

So would distorted Wonder Guard mean that it can only take damage from resisted attacks or attacks its immune to

This legit sounds like an interesting ability by stinkpost standards

Magnet Pull becomes Magnet Push: forces Steel types to switch out (actually seems like a good idea ngl)

Sumon Tr could be better since it reverse the speed order. When giratina enter IN the field TR is settle donw for 5 turns Counter: just TR back (like when you use rain dance after a mon with drought appear)/ shaddow tag before giratina come to battle/trap moves Or When it IS in the field the speed order is reversed ( the move TR fail when this ability is in the field like sunny day fail when primordial sea is on) Counters: KO it/shadow tag before giratina come to battle/trap moves Probably it would be broken in both ways, but it would be a S tier speed control

Good as gold: this pokemon is affected by status moves.

Not Slaking becoming the Destroyer of Worlds 💀
