[Guide] Pokemon Showcase: Antarki [Competitive]

[Reeveelution]

Holy sheet I am a blind fool. As usual. Thanks for the heads up. I really didn't know there was another guide for Antarki and completely bypassed it.

To powerofibarn, the original writer of the first thread regarding Antarki, I am really sorry XD I will probably remove this thread and post everything as a comment on the other.

All good, no need to apologize.  You don't need to remove the thread for now, or at least not until we have an organized catalog of analyses for every viable mon, which won't be for a while.  Although I can't help but feel that you overlooked the main purpose of Antarki, (Prankster utility) the effort you put into this is admirable nonetheless, and we will need more of this type of effort put towards the competitive scene if we hope to see any growth in the community.  Good job.

(P.S. ty for the ha cassnail)

Ah, feels good that I dont need to remove it yet. I also hope I didnt overlook HA Antarki at all. It's just that having Prankster + good offensive stats and movesets imo is something that can be abused of, making antarki a great sweeper/tank/utility/core that will never seem to die thanks to Priority Recover. But if you feel that way from reading my post, I shall edit it and re-emphasize on how good Priority is. Choice Antarki meanwhile has no use of Prankster, therefore the disclaimer i wrote in this post.

Unless you've already done it, I want to make two more sets for antarki, one that is extremely similar to that of sableye and another That befits the name of Troll-arki. I also did make a Prankster Utility Antarki set, it is set [3]. I did not reemphasize heavily that it was a powerful Utility set because.. frankly I need to write in more words and the beginners of the competitive field would probably already have a seissure reading my very smogon-style guide presentation. On another hand, look out for these sets i've mentioned above earlier, as they are only very much capable of existing in the metagame thanks to its Prankster ability. Hopefully in the near future you wouldnt feel odd looking at this guide, as it feels as if i really did miss out on Prankster Utility Antarki XD

P.S. Not a problem bro, I have 3 boxes of 5IV cassnail cause I'm still trying for 6IV male cassnail, got two 6Iv females so far and I'm in agonyyyy

EDIT: making a comment on your handheld device is really really hard lol
