I doubt they're gonna change this method. Sneasel evolves into Weavile the same way but with another item, and that wasn't altered in Sword and Shield.
Ghost types would skyrocket in usage. Rocky helmet would be on every team. Rough skin, effect spore, and other "make contact for chance of x" abilities would see niche usage. It would be broken and banned but it can still be countered. The meta would definitely shift.
Fling is such a good move in general. In series 5 I used to use a fling salac berry Whimsicott and a WP Dragapult to give it the WP proc and +1 speed from the berry

7months later buuuut.... Towards the end on Gen7 I played a team like that in a Free Battle Spot Doubles battle! He led Ambipom + Linoone (both with Pick Up) and each Mon spammed Fling to flinch both my Mons with King's Rock and Razor Fang! The Mons I led were slower so the first 3 turns I literally couldn't even move!! Luckily, I had 2 Fake Out users for some chip BUT... I just so happened to have brought a Triage Comfey in the back with Draining Kiss and Giga Drain that ALWAYS moved first (even before Linoone's Extreme Speed)! Comfey ended up KOing all 4 of the opponent's Mons (once I realized wtf was going on) but if I hadn't brought it, Ambipom and Linoone would have literally Flung me to death! I couldn't move so it prob would have been a 50+ turn game of me getting Flinched EVERY turn and chipped down 10-20hp per turn hahaha!! **Sorry for the book I wrote here but it was def the most memorable battle I've ever had lol and I still have it in my Ultra Moon VS Recorder on my 3DS!!**
This reminds me of a Togekiss strat I did for a friend. Using the ability that doubles the secondary effects of movements, air slash and choice scarf you can actually catch a lot of people by surprise. With those things Togekiss fliches the enemy two of every three attacks and my friend won so many matches thanks to that that people called him a hacker almost every time. It was so much fun seeing when he only had his Toge left and he still managed to kill 4 pokes and win the match.
a few weeks ago i learned about what pickup did and i wanted to make a vgc team with it as a gimmick, but sadly i suck at making doubles teams. glad to see you did it, though!
Love the video, also the comparison to the previous generation! Finally writing this comment. One thing I was wondering about was the usage of the same item. You mentioned that either King's Rock or the other was not availabe in SWSH, but my question is: Is it possible to use 2x the same item. Or will these items not being picked up then?
hey foo, ive been using some fun cotton down teams, and pairing it with lash out mons and others. its a really fun strategy. i have 2 versions of this strategy! my first one has role play clefairy with follow me, obviously. i paired it with a gossifleur, that mostly has utility moves. then, i had a malamar and a lash out crawdaunt that benefit from the clefairy! my second version has an eldegoss, male meowstic and togetic. first i skill swapped prankster to eldegoss, giving it priority sleep moves and giving meowstic cotton down. then, i can either put everything to sleep or just switch out to togetic, and skill swap cotton down to togetic. i paired my follow me eviolite togetic with a lash out tyranitar, as togetic stops rillaboom in its tracks and is extremely bulky. u can also do a lot of other gimmicks with this team, e.g. giving togetic prankster and making it a super broken support pokemon. i hope u like this gimmick and will try it out! i had so much fun playing with these teams. i have some replays, and my twitter name is also Strat2005. i can dm u some replays!
I'm with them, I didn't know it had in battle usages either. Though I generally only tried to use pickup for an extra destiny knot King's rock and razor Fang causing guaranteed flinches makes me wonder if razor claw gets guaranteed crits being flung.

If I won that speed tie, I almost definitely would’ve won the battle

Slowking was reintroduced? When they released Galarian slowpoke/bro they released Kantonian slowpoke as well, and that can be evolved into slowking via a kings rock
Can you test out what is the maximum amount of recoil damage done under the following conditions: -Opponent Dynamax Blissey with max health and no investment in Defense. -Head smash user with choice band with max health and max attack.
Except when you realize that you'll run out of PP too soon (max. 16 PP for Fling), and the damage is way too weak to be noticeable. Without poison damage (looking at you, Steel types and Poison types), this seemingly effective strategy loses to simple toxic immunities.
I dont know the pokemon's names. The electric/steel pikachu look alike w/sturdy, u-turn (trade up from gen 7) into the ground/ghost (sword/shield regional evolution) pokemon which triggers wandering spirit. Now the ground/ghost has sturdy & uturn swaps a pokemon with the move that makes an opponent copy your ability. Then have the ground/ghost use skill swap onto the pokemon you just switched in (this all can be done in one turn because of their speed stats). On the next turn swap the ground/ghost to the bug/ghost pokemon that has wonder guard. Have your other pokemon force the bug/ghost to mimic its sturdy ability (have the pokemon granting sturdy use choice scarf - or another strategy - to ensure it gets the move off before they can 1HKO the bug/ghost). You now have a pokemon that can only be killed by the poison or burn status effects. Carry a berry to cure on of those effects (basically a 50% chance focus sash). If you can find a way to paralyze the bug/ghost it becomes invincible.
I'm now starting to wonder how effective an unburden accelgor can be with weakness policy. If you pair it with a talonflame you can assure you a +2 dynamax move that is only outsped by priority. Now... how much damage could it do? Still have to calc that,but having giga drain to heal, water shuriken for water dmax against fire types or even priority post dynamax, and access to poison moves for even more boosts... it could work. (Btw talonflame needs a weak special flying type move... maybe gust works? So that it almost does no damage to accelgor)
Hey Foo, you always say that leaving a like lets you know what people want to see more of. While I do agree that well liked videos are in and of itself a good thing, and those steer you in that direction more, if the only type of video you post is one and the same, then by that logic, you'll never be steered in a different way. I like seeing snippets of these fun new strategies you come up with while not playing myself, but seeing them in action as well would be way way more fun to me as a whole. However, I can't like those videos, because they're not there for me to like. Consider this my 'like' to you making a battle recording video again, it's the content I originally subbed for, but am now sadly lacking.
Wow. I wonder if there are any other uses for Pickup. Also, I've found that for Raid battles that Telepathy can protect a Pokémon from moves like Surf and Earthquake. It would be neat if you made a video at some point on the Telepathy ability. Unless I'm mistaken, Telepathy is banned on Smogon?

And yes I know of harvest skill swap strat already, but this is more in case of pokemon with recoil moves and low catch rates. This requires research!

Wait. So if you used fling with Weakness Policy (WP) on a mon its super eff (SE) against while that mon also has WP it would dual use WP. With pickup, it would repack up the one the mon that fling was SE against and in 3 turns your at +6atk +6spatk... hold up... get me my metagross!

Wait. So if you used fling with Weakness Policy (WP) on a mon its super eff (SE) against while that mon also has WP it would dual use WP. With pickup, it would repack up the one the mon that fling was SE against and in 3 turns your at +6atk +6spatk... hold up... get me my metagross!
