Not even Blissey stops this sweeper .

Flutter Mane may before long be banned in two metas . It ’s already been blackball in OU , and now it ’s being suspected in Monotype . This has been the discipline of heated debate . Some palpate like this retiring variety of Misdreavus is fine for the biz , as it ’s checked by Pokémon that learn Sucker Punch and Shadow Sneak . Is there really enough out there to cease Flutter Mane , though ?

Flutter Mane considered best Paradox Pokémon by many

To understand this public debate , one must first realize why Flutter Mane is such a job . The boastful issue is that it has idealistic stats for any Special Attacker . Both its Special Attack and Speed are base 135 ; that means it outspeeds threat like Meowscarada , Roaring Moon , and even Jolteon .

What ’s even more thwarting for players is that Flutter Mane has 135 base Special Defense . This makes it almost unsufferable for other Special Attackers to revenge KO Flutter Mane except for Choice Specs Dragapult ( any other Dragapult wo n’t KO with Shadow Ball ) .

Dragapult is the only thing that outspeeds Flutter Mane without a Choice Scarf or a speed - boosting move . So , if it practically outspeeds everything , and has enough power to KO most thing , should n’t it just be consider broken ?

Well , there is one affair that many histrion feel keeps Flutter Mane in check : priority . Many relocation that go first ( Shadow Sneak , Bullet Punch , Sucker Punch , etc . ) can make Flutter Mane passably hard . This set aside sure Pokémon , like Scizor and Kingambit , to be fairly reliable counters .

These counters do n’t even function all of the prison term , though . Brambleghast can bolt down Flutter Mane with a Shadow Sneak , but only when take a Choice Band . Most of the other Pokémon that use Shadow Sneak ( Sableye , Spiritomb , etc . ) wo n’t get a full KO .

Most Pokémon that learn Sucker Punch can beat Flutter Mane , most notably Kingambit , Lokix , and Chien Pao . This introduces another exit , though : Flutter Mane can learn Substitute . This mean that it can plant up a Sub , ignore the Sucker Punch ( since it only hits if the resister clicks a damaging flack ) , and start a chimneysweeper from there . With that being the case , it ’s hard to see any meta allowing Flutter Mane with the exception of Ubers . This is what name it , with the exclusion of Legendaries , a contender for most potent Pokémon ever .
