Lead with a Slaking and Contrary Serperior, then have the Serperior use Gastro Acid on Slaking to get rid of Truant. Then go all out attacking.Would that work? Provided I don't get Taunted of course.Yeah. Worry Seed would also have the same effect. Two issues, though:1. Sacrificing one of your teammate's moveslots for an otherwise useless move may not be the best idea, and2. The effect wears off as soon as you switch out, so you'd have to keep reapplying it, which is pretty unwieldy.Sounds like a fun strat, though. I haven't thought of that before. Perhaps Regigigas would make a better beneficiary.Regigas won't work. Getting rid of Slow Start means you won't get the good stats. It needs to take those 5 turns to get going.

If this Ability is replaced due to a move like Skill Swap or Worry Seed or suppressed by Gastro Acid, the Pokémon's stats return to normal.In the Japanese version of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, removing Slow Start does not undo the Attack and Speed drop; it must still wait five turns. This was changed in localized versions as well as in Platinum.

Evil team is called "Team Skull"--MEGA GENERIC but i'd be lying if i said their designs weren't coolSpoiler
all these new forms remind me of digimonwhich is a good thingall im waiting for is a gravelly-voiced background announcer to be like"alolan marowak, the flames of courage"
Alolan Marowak is cool as fuck....but that sand castle thing is Gen V levels of shit design.
I mean, there has to be a few of those stupid creatures based on inanimate objects, though. They've always been around, and they're never gonna stop. Might as well expect them. I think the sandcastle is a fuck of a lot better than Kefki (least favorite Pokémon of all time).I was kinda hoping they wouldn't go too overboard with theming every Pokémon around a tropical island, though. X/Y had Furfrou and Aromatisse, but it didn't go overboard on the France thing. Unova had Braviary and... Garbodor, but it didn't go overboard on the US theme.If you go too overboard, it makes it seem less like a generation, and more like a holiday-themed expansion pack or some shit. Next generation is gonna be based around holidays. We'll have Christmas Pokémon when it's not even Christmas.
saladit, beware line, mudsdale line, rockruff, sandshrew, meowth, and vulpix alolas,and the starters don't have anything to do with tropical islands though.
I don't even have a problem with Pokemon being based on inanimate objects, I just think it looks fucking retarded.
