@@benharder7816 Yeah... as if your opponent is gonna just sit there and let you have your huge power boosted slaking. What's more than likely gonna happen is your opponent will just focus both of its mons on Slaking (assuming we're playing in doubles) and that'll get him killed really quickly (Slaking doesn't have very good Special defense) Plus, doing this is going to sacrifice a Gardevoir and an Azumarill just for the chance of sweeping with Slaking. In Doubles Tournaments (like VGC) you're only allowed 2 pokemon. So that's half of your team wasted (Truant will go to gardevoir which makes it useless, and Azumarill is only good with Huge Power)

Yup slaking literally has basically the best stats in the entire game, having a higher attack than pretty much every single legendary in the game, and an HP + defense combo that’s the best in the game, but the CPU using skill swap twice on slaking and switching it to his only high leveled Pokémon was insanely smart, I’ve never even seen that before. Without his overleveled Pokémon that would’ve been an incredibly hard match to beat even with equal leveled cards

@Kanishk Nishar Basically Skill Swap switches your pokémon's ability with the one of the target pokémon. And Slaking's whole gimmick is that he has gargantuous stats but his ability handicaps him by only letting him use a move one out of two turns. Get rid of his ability, and Slaking will run amok and sweep through even legendaries.

@Kanishk Nishar his base stats are higher than mew 2, but he only gets to do anything once every 2 turns because of his ability to nerf him, they took that ability off slaking and gave it to their opponent so slaking is now a monster and the opponent only gets to move every other turn
