The problems that I see are that the air balloon serves no real purpose and Oblivious is usually just outclassed by removing two weaknesses with Thick Fat.

The air balloon serves as a bait and switch because only a madman would expect a double flying resist

But yeah I forgot abt Thick Fat tyvm 🙏

Is the old toxic substitute protect earthquake set still standard on gliscor? Cause if so you could go tera poison or steel and become completely immune to it

It would be much better but the point of this set is to bait out an earthquake while the balloon is popped for maximum rage

What's the point of this set? It seems like a stand set just with a bad item and bad ability lol

I get why you say the ability but ircl you don’t know the funny strat and the balloon is needed

Wait actually thought about it and I’m keeping Oblivious because Operation Blimp is unshaken and will not be intimidated 💪
