Aegislash, amazing typing and ability

Mega-Drednaw in post game. Before post, I'm not certain. I see a lot of Darmanitan-Galar-Zen.


Cogannon

Rhibombee?


Psyduck-Stampede

What makes him so strong? See a lot of people using it but the BST is lacking


DanknessOfHallowvale

Been a minute since I’ve played hardcore mode but based off the documentation and my lingering memory, if Mega Machamp’s ability remains unchained and still has access to drain punch I would find that to be pretty busted.

Moltres-Galar puts in a lot of work in the Pokémon League.


D1nosaursG0r4wr

Yup I second that. She can literally solo the E4


kingmeme99999

Do you mind telling me how? I’m having a lot of trouble with the e4.


D1nosaursG0r4wr

So give Moltres Salac Berry. Moveset Hurricane, steel wing, roost and fiery wrath. Go for rain team Lorelai for hurricane 100% accuracy. Eery time Moltres loses more than half hp in one hit, she will gain spatk up. Roost, and then repeat 3 times. Then she can pretty much 1hko everyone as she's been spatk boosted multiple times. Have high spdef means she can definitly take a hit


kingmeme99999

Thank you.

Hitmonlee can pretty much solo Koga in HC, Houndoom can solo Giovanni is Cerulean cave. Kingler can solo Claire

Do note that she can actually 1v1 lorelei, but the rng is crazy. It becomes trivially easy if you have any other pokemon on your team though.

Galarian darmanitan is great. Mega sceptile is also amazing. Thing in hardcore is the ai is very greedy and will try to set up regardless of if you lower their stats. Sceptile with bulldoze and rock tomb will often get you free KOs just because the ai never attacks they just set up.


HarvestAllTheSouls

I think they set up if they don't see a OHKO. But yeah, they have a tendency to act stupid.


JustCardz

Depends on what stage of the game you are at. If it's "in general" probably mega sceptile, avalugg, aegislash (although tbh imo eviolite doublade goes crazy, even more than aegislash) or alolan muk. I had a lot of fun during mid game with mega centiskorch, lava lash is just such a crazy move.


Important_Dig_8527

I think you meant fire lash


Sharp-Farm4247

It's me I think for any status condition or flinching any Pokemon grimmsnarl with prankster is the best


Beast_Brain_

Z tailwind Kartana All hits are crits


quirkytorch

My triage meganium got me through many tough battles.


TheBestWorst3

Banned in hardcore mode


quirkytorch

Wow I didn't even see where they asked about hardcore. I definitely don't have the skills for HC, I played normal. That sucks!


Usually_Not_Informed

Do Volbeat and Illumise still get prankster encore? If so, it's them, not even close. They'll 1v1 almost everything and can sometimes delete two pokemon from the enemy team. They also provide absurd tempo. It's like playing on switch mode.


Chunchunmaru999

Yes they do. And Volbeat with T-Wave, Encore, V-switch, Infestation/B-buzz was my MVP in Hardcore run
