This is it guys, the last Pokemon. Done.

I like more defensive sets on Furfrou (Impish or Careful)

The issue is, there isn't any recovery. By the time it becomes effective, too many turns have passed. Its move set and stats are much more suited to a pivot rather than a wall.

Don't forget, this thing is as fast as Garchomp. That's a speed tier that shouldn't probably be wasted.

Incredible physical wall
Furfrou @Leftovers
Ability: Fur Coat
Nature: Impish
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
- Return
- Toxic
- Protect
- Roar

Even better with Wish support.

And if you make it Careful with special defense investments it can take a sun boosted fire blast from Mega Charizard Y while still being able to absorb 2 Dragon Claws from Garchomp thanks to Fur Coat alone.


Edit:

Just a few damage calcs for the physical wall set:

+1 252+ Atk Dragonite Dragon Claw vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Furfrou: 108-128 (30.5 - 36.2%) -- 54.8% chance to 3HKO

+2 252+ Atk Dragonite Outrage vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Furfrou: 216-255 (61.1 - 72.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Furfrou: 115-136 (32.5 - 38.5%) -- 98.9% chance to 3HKO

252+ Atk Tough Claws Mega Metagross Meteor Mash vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Furfrou: 114-135 (32.2 - 38.2%) -- 97.7% chance to 3HKO

And those are without counting leftovers recovery (which is pretty much doubled thanks to protect)


Oh and another thing:

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 135-160 (40.4 - 47.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Furfrou: 132-156 (37.3 - 44.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

That thing takes neutral hits better than a freaking Skarmory.

What do you accomplish though? I just don't really like the idea of a toxic staller without reliable recovery.

I wouldn't really use it to toxic stall, I would use the combination of toxic + roar to spread poison to cripple the team, and use roar to remove dragon dancers and swords dancers, which is especially awesome if you keep Stealth Rocks up.

Actually let me fix that set. Roar is necessary, I don't know why I slashed in Sucker Punch.

But hey, if people prefer Jolly, go ahead, I can breed myself an Impish one easily.

I'm selfishly hoping for jolly because I already have a shiny impish.

Last type, mandatory "why not both"

Where's that adorable little Mexican girl saying "por que no los dos?"

I was in a hurry and couldn't find the link lol

My new phone doesn't let me post images. So I can't do it.

So after going the entire project not seeing a single shiny while breeding, I just hatched a shiny Furfrou!

But it only has two of the egg moves...

I think your fine sticking to Jolly.

If anyone else does want Impish though or if its just Madem I have 1 Impish Furfrou leftover I can give.

And with that, the last Pokemon has been finished. Two sets and a random 3 egg move shiny.

Set 2: The Wall

If this is a Pink Floyd reference just for me I am honoured.

Hey, let's not assume youre the only rock fan here. I know my Jefferson starship from my Jefferson airplane.

I almost linked to the movie, but I figured that may not be the best thing to do.

One of my favourite t-shirts has this image on it:

Just want to confirm that I'm providing the Impish Furfrou? Or did you actually breed it? I ask since its unclear and I posted the offer before you finished so...

I got it blue, thanks.
