Edit: Oh, you already posted it. Didn't notice.

Neosquid thought it didn't need Prankster because it has base 110 speed, but I kind of like it there.

Does Prankster + status move overrun base one priority moves if the speed is higher? If so, that's a +3 defense boost before that Bullet Punch comes a-knocking.

[TheMissingno.]

That's right, we came prepared.

I've realized I have a subconscious Team Rocket fetish. I'm always wearing some sort of red or black. And many times a hat.

That's weird... Glad it's over though.

We already knew that.

My fetish is that I want to cover my girlfriend with butter and deep fry her.

Are you Tony Wonder?

I did some damage calculations. Used max Attack CB Scizors Bullet Punch for reference.
Build is 252/0/0/0/252/4 Calm Shuckpluff

With +3 Def, Bullet punch does 23.6%-27.77% damage, which isn't even a 4HKO with lefties (not to mention seeding). Of course, that's assuming stats cap out at 999 (don't they do that?). If not, the damage drops to max 22.7%. With +6 Def, that would be less than 15%.

Just to delve even further into theoretical-land, what if the set was 252/0/252/0/4/0 Bold, and stats don't cap? Well...
Starting at +3 Def, the damage is about 18.7%. At +6 Def, that becomes 12.3% max (min 10.5 %, not even a 10HKO).

Of course, that would quickly make the Scizor U-Turn out, which wouldn't do a lot more damage.
