I don't think he would, that is an allegation. He looks like he has good friends, and I'm sure they'd vouch for him, absolutely shocking revelations ahead, friends.
Frisk still has one use in competitive. Due to team sheets it will always reveal zoroark by revealing the held item since you can see which one zoroark is holding on the sheet
Remember that Alakazam has higher offensive stats than this monkey on top of a more flexible and useful ability, so don't hold too much expectations for Munki
Frisk is quite nice to have when farming specific held itemy from wild pokemon. That being said, i'm not sure why they'd make a pure utility ability the hidden ability of a legendary pokemon.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up Gholdengo as an especially problematic obstacle to Munki, even when you mentioned Shadow Ball in its coverage moves section.
i’m very concerned about great tusk representing the pokémon who killed it in court. it’s been on my mind a lot lately, and i think i’ve come to the conclusion that there must have been a revival blessing alongside a brainwashing and manipulation scandal that has flipped the script. this is very concerning and i hope great tusk can come around soon, before it’s too late.
At this point I'm starting to form a conspiracy that the Loyal 3 are getting some kind of boost in Indigo Disk, because besides the cool ability, they feel almost "incomplete" when it comes to their overall power level compared to their status.
Yeah the lousy three are just normal pokemon that got boosted by their chains, we dont know their original species but originally they were quite weak and not very exceptional.
There's no attempt, it's literally just a broken metagame and it's only a bit better if you play an official format. It's going to look like Pokemon GO Battle League Meta at this point.
Honestly I don't have high hopes for any of the trio but Okidogi looks fun. With Knock Off, Gunk Shot and Close Combat combined with Poison Chain it looks like a pain to switch into. Slap on Drain Punch for a recovery and a choice scarf / choice band / assault vest in the item slot and you have a very annoying wallbreaker on your hands. Just a bit lacking in the speed department. Dogi really wishes he had access to Mach Punch.
I appreciate that Munkodori can get the most milage out of Venoshock (and Hex to an extent) of any other Pokémon that exists because of how well its own ability spreads Poison. I'd consider running Scarf/Specs with Venoshock, Psychic/Psyshock, Focus Blast/Tera Blast (Fire? Electric?) and U-Turn/Trick. Not sure where you'd fit Hex in but it can't be ignored as an option.
Future Sight + U-turn/parting shot is my favourite set right now. Pair it up with a strong physical attacker for the follow-up hit and you'll be golden
Both Monkidori and Okidogi have a chance imo. The dog suprisingly just doen't want to die. Also you missed a HUGE part of the Monki's move set: Parting Shot
It’s hard to say toxic chain is “strictly better” than poison touch as it will only do more damage on pokemon staying in for 3 turns or longer. I obviously see what you mean and I agree with the sentiment but just a little correction of verbiage (and that’s to say there are NO instances where you’d prefer toxic damage to do LESS to the enemy, and there are instances where you’d like an enemy to not die/not reach berry or torrent range, for instance). I’m obviously a little too in the weeds for the scope of that comment but I found it interesting nonetheless
@@cryptooooooooo I understand, and I agree that it’s better in most instances, but the fact that instances do technically exist where regular poison is better means the verbiage “strictly better” isn’t applicable
The Funky Hunkey Dunky Monkey will probably end up in UUBL. This thing seriously reminds me of an Alakazam that can badly poison while pivoting out of its threats with U-Turn. It will probably be strong as a scarfer on voltturn teams, but other than that it won’t be used much
I've started using Munkidori in doubles ladder, and have had some success! It's dual stab is solid and with sludge wave its got a strong spread move that can toxic multiple Pokémon. Fake out is super useful of course, and with uturn to pivot, its been a great utility mon that is still does decent damage without boost. I run it with Life Orb to compensate for no nasty plotting, since it's bulk isn't great anyway. With all the broken mons in the format, usually there is a "higher priority" than Munkidori, and I consistently get a few turns to fake out, pivot, and throw in more fake outs/stab around my other "more threatening" mons.
Honestly, I disagree with saying Munkidori is the only one with a shot at OU viability. Fezendipiti also happens to have a really solid defensive type being a fairy resistant/immune to poison type/status, has pretty solid bulk at 88/82/125, reliable recovery, and a plethora of multi hit moves to fish for Toxic procs. It also has amazing defensive synergy with Corviknight, since Corviknight walls all of Fezendipiti 's weaknesses, while Fezendipiti's special bulk let's it eat the (usually special) fire and electric moves directed at Corviknight. Plus if you ever just want to Tera to pure Fairy, it just makes Fezendipiti stronger both offensively and defensively due to already being part Fairy. Really the only things Fezendipiti lacks are Reflect for dual screens, and Defog, the latter of which could even potentially change in The Indigo Disk. While it might be more team specific, I can see Fezendipiti becoming a very strong choice for defensive and stall teams.
I would think in theory you could use Tera fighting Tera Blast over focus blast for better consistency, if you can afford committing your Tera to munkidori. I think it still could have chance with choice Scarf.
I think other sets might develop. If Parting Shot can proc the Toxic chance it might be a better U-turn. You could also run Hex which naturally benefits from the Toxic chances, or even Venoshock given you don't want to proc normal poison if you can avoid it. Just needs some time.
Munkidori is also my favorite of the three, and I remember looking up all the loyal three's stats and thinking they sucked and then I saw Munkidori's and thought they were actually good
I think Okidogi is surprisingly good. Its intimidate immunity and bulk up + drain punch combo could turn it into an impressive late game sweeper, and poison/fighting is a good offensive type combo alongside its decent coverage.
I feel like we need a special version of dragon dance and monkidori would abuse the hell out of it. Base 106 speed is good back in gen 6 but now it needs a boost in speed. Also this thing should have gotten aura sphere for coverage.
Frisk does have a niche use in VGC as a way to tell if you’re fighting a Zoroark by seeing if a Pokémon’s item matches the team sheet. Still not good but not quite illuminate
I was honestly really excited about fezandipiti for Doubles, tried it after the DLC dropped with a combination of icy wind Dazzling gleam to have Speed Control and some spread moves to make use of Toxic Chains and it just felt so underwhelming. I think the Ability will definitely have more use in Singles than doubles since not only do games last longer which inherently increases the value of each individual toxic poison tick, but also the amount of turns that singles games accumulate are just statistically helping you with the 30% chance of actually triggering the ability. In doubles it just feels to unreliable to ever make work and play around which is a shame
To clarify, Frisk isnt COMPLETELY useless in VGC as the order of popups and ability triggers appear in the order of the pokemons' speed, so it gives information on speed tiers. Its not huge, arguably it doesnt matter at all, but its not nothing
I use scarf monkidori with sludge wave, psyshock, shadow ball, and u-turn. I find shadow ball more consistent than the unreliable focus blast. It can destroy the everpresent ogerpon too. Still i find valiant and enamorus to work better generally, so long i have another pivoting mon, but lately I've been changing my cinderace for bulky kommo-o to deal with the mentioned ogerpon
Imagine if game freak keeps the open sheet format for the next gens and rework friks to give hints about the ev training of the rival mons, something like "your pokemon can sense that the foe has trained its speed and health" with the text changing depending on some ev ranges
Munkidoro Is ... a very strange one tbh Okidogi looked easier to use but is has died in like ... 2 days? 3:14 fun fact i once terad fighting againist a +2 5 dead gambit ... he killed me as a fighting type
Okidogi has two major problems. The first being its speed tier putting it behind Great Tusk and Gholdengo, which is a significant problem when your STABs are checked by BOTH of them. The other is that competition with Sneasler is simply far too great; Sneasler is both a faster wallbreaker (who even has Poison Touch so you won't miss Toxic Chain much) and an easier setup sweeper thanks to Unburden. There simply isn't enough reason to justify supporting Okidogi over other faster Fighting-types. Shit, _Infernape_ is probably more effective than Oki right now.
An easy way to catch this Pokemon is to use the Bisharp line with false swipe.... you can put it at 1 hp while getting absolutely no damage... so you can just throw Pokeballs without worry....
While you definitely always prefer the immediate power of sludge bomb or wave, Funny Munki does have the only venoshock that can poison in the game if you like to gamble
"Frisk" seems primarily for quickly finding out if a wild Pokémon is worth catching or not because it has the item you're farming. Worth it sometimes. Glad it exists on Pokémon with other better abilities
I really think not having aura sphere sucks for this pokémon, a lot of special attackers wish they had that move, but being a legendary “monk” I could see them actually giving it to this pokémon and it would help a lot since it doesn’t really need the extra power of focus blast with its high special attack. Pokémon like King Gambit and Meowscarada would still be OHKOed I’m pretty sure.
Many may find it shocking that Great Tusk has represented his greatest foe in the court of law, but I believe that Iron Mugulis has “put his thumb on the scale” so to speak.
I would say okidogi is even weirder, as I think its got potential to become a good pick for bulky offense even if its not gonna be OU initially. With what okidogi can do its gonna be fun to watch it get optimized
Honestly it bothers me that this trio doesn't have a 580-600BST like every other trio there is...I feel like the extra 30-50 in stats would really help these 3. Allowing a bit of extra bulk for the monke and yogi or a bit more of an offensive presence on the special side for the bird would really help.
Frisk is a good ability! Scouting enemy choice items is fantastic, and often times you can learn a lot about what set the opponent is running from their item.
The badly poison vs regular poison part is very arguable tbh 2 turn of badly poison is 18.75 2 turn of regular poison is 25% Its iirc why Toxic Spikes are quite often being used at 1 stack offensively
Imo, regular poison is more powerful early game because it does a set percentage that doesn’t go down if your opponent switches. Later game, badly poisoned is probably stronger because it eats more HP each turn and the player has fewer switch options, if any. Even if you are up 3 mons to 2, taking a turn off to reset the badly poisoned scaling can be ROUGH
We must combat Rabsca by recruiting Iron Mugulis’ worst enemy from the future - Iron Jugulis, who has mastered the art of Tera Ground Tera Blast to destroy him and use his dark type powers to destroy Rabsca’s revival abilities
Somewhat unrelated but I always thought it'd be cool if Frisk stole the item on switch-in instead of just viewing it. Obviously the Pokemon would need to have no held item to steal one, so it'd be a pretty fair tradeoff, and there could be funny shenanigans with Fling.
Frisk used to be useful back in its debut. Before team preview and it’s later upgrade of seeing opponents items before a match (I’ve heard rumors), Frisk now joins Slow Start, Truant, and Defeatist as the worst abilities.
Frankly I'm starting to be on the boat where I think team preview at the start and a full open sheet to the opponents team is a mistake. Not only is frisk rendered useless but Pokémon like Zoroark whose whole point is to trick the opponent cant even do that effectively. I would even argue that team preview is a contributing factor for powercreep in later gens as a excuse can be made that you can see the opponents Pokémon so you should be able to play around it whereas before, a Pokémon couldn't be too broken because of the unpredictability of no team preview.
I feel like Monki won’t do much. Not that I’m a great player with meta knowledge, but the mon doesn’t look crazy. Yeah, toxic chain is good. But for a relatively frail attacker that can’t really sustain or stick around defensively, toxic as a status is a little underwhelming. Plus, the type combination kinda sucks. Poison and Psychic, in my mind, just don’t work well together. Usually the best counters to psychic types are dark types and steel types, with the latter being very common (as many steel types tend to be built defensively, wher dark is the opposite). Steel types are also immune to poison, and dark doesn’t particularly care about poison stab. And with the limited coverage it has for said steel types, I feel it’s kinda not incredible. Might be good in UU or even RU, but I can really see a niche for this thing. In reality, it’s a fast high damage mon with a little flexibility, bad typing, and a relatively low impact ability for how this Pokémon would typically play. Maybe it’s better and will see success with a more support style set which uses u-turn/parting shot to help spread toxic while hitting relatively hard, idk. Just seems really underwhelming, especially for OU viability

I hope Great Tusk is doing okay, I'm worried, y'all... :(
THE TUSK HAS FALLEN!!! BILLIONS MUST CLEAVE!
Remember that Alakazam has higher offensive stats than this monkey on top of a more flexible and useful ability, so don't hold too much expectations for Munki
Alakazam also doesn't have Parting Shot or U-turn
Its got the offensive and speed off Enamrous and he holds a scarf to a similar effect😊
Alakazam doesn't poison you 30% of the time, alakazam akso doesn't u-turn.
Yeah, but, Munki has better bulk, a better defensive typing, and an ability that works well with both offense, and defence.
Alakazam isn't in Gen 9 so all of these arguments are kinda moot
Frisk is quite nice to have when farming specific held itemy from wild pokemon. That being said, i'm not sure why they'd make a pure utility ability the hidden ability of a legendary pokemon.

Frisk is a good ability! Scouting enemy choice items is fantastic, and often times you can learn a lot about what set the opponent is running from their item.
Ngl frisk exeggutor has saved me from getting cleaned up by choice scarf pokemon plenty of times
"Relying on focus blast" is an oxymoron
Frisk only use is on single player to steal items from wild mons
The badly poison vs regular poison part is very arguable tbh
2 turn of badly poison is 18.75
2 turn of regular poison is 25%
Its iirc why Toxic Spikes are quite often being used at 1 stack offensively
One layer of toxic spikes takes 1 less turn to set up. It doesn’t mean poison is better than toxic.
Imo, regular poison is more powerful early game because it does a set percentage that doesn’t go down if your opponent switches.
Later game, badly poisoned is probably stronger because it eats more HP each turn and the player has fewer switch options, if any. Even if you are up 3 mons to 2, taking a turn off to reset the badly poisoned scaling can be ROUGH
That weezer edit was a thing of beauty

Frankly I'm starting to be on the boat where I think team preview at the start and a full open sheet to the opponents team is a mistake. Not only is frisk rendered useless but Pokémon like Zoroark whose whole point is to trick the opponent cant even do that effectively. I would even argue that team preview is a contributing factor for powercreep in later gens as a excuse can be made that you can see the opponents Pokémon so you should be able to play around it whereas before, a Pokémon couldn't be too broken because of the unpredictability of no team preview.
Rabscas going back in time to get psychic type unerfed from gen 1
The munki got different
I do wish Okidogi was faster, like base 107-110, so it can outspeed many ground and pyschic types
I feel like Monki won’t do much. Not that I’m a great player with meta knowledge, but the mon doesn’t look crazy. Yeah, toxic chain is good. But for a relatively frail attacker that can’t really sustain or stick around defensively, toxic as a status is a little underwhelming. Plus, the type combination kinda sucks. Poison and Psychic, in my mind, just don’t work well together. Usually the best counters to psychic types are dark types and steel types, with the latter being very common (as many steel types tend to be built defensively, wher dark is the opposite). Steel types are also immune to poison, and dark doesn’t particularly care about poison stab. And with the limited coverage it has for said steel types, I feel it’s kinda not incredible. Might be good in UU or even RU, but I can really see a niche for this thing. In reality, it’s a fast high damage mon with a little flexibility, bad typing, and a relatively low impact ability for how this Pokémon would typically play.
Maybe it’s better and will see success with a more support style set which uses u-turn/parting shot to help spread toxic while hitting relatively hard, idk. Just seems really underwhelming, especially for OU viability
Tbh I didn't have my mind made up on Rabsca but then I saw he had ill intent and I knew I couldnt ignore what was in front of me any longer.
I feel like Enamorus pulls off the stat spread better, with 2 immunities and excellent coverage options. Plus, fairy is stupid good
