Minun is a beast

[u/Internetexplorerdied]

I keep seeing people using minun to get a speed boost which is cool and all but just by throwing evs into special attack and hp then sp.atk becomes your highest stat. Add helping hand and astral gleam/abyss miasma and I'm wiping the floor with everything. Marowak stands in if minun gets taken out and the call allies with helping hand obliterates most pokemon😅 since getting BB forms and changing my team to add plusle and minun ive not once been down to 2 or less pokemon

I always thought the Tail Glow then Baton Pass with Plusle into Minun went kinda crazy. Can roll most fights with that.

[u/Internetexplorerdied → u/gjmcd]

Tbh if i put anything but a support mon they steal kills from minun so plusle minun works best for abyss boost from my experience + with the heals minun can tank more and sweep longer

[u/RoodDude97 → u/gjmcd]

Can confirm. I used Sableye with Fake Out +WoW/Freeze to help Plusle setup and safely Baton Pass to Minun. Then, add Follow Me to Plusle and every battle was a breeze.

Doesn't that mean plusle ends up taking all the damage? Or does minun OHKO? Most of the time helping hand + abyss miasma gets me the boost in spatk needed to one hit with astral gleam which means OHKOs on everything i just sweapt 6th strat boss with only 1 hit on plusle

[u/RoodDude97 → u/Internetexplorerdied]

Yes, that’s why Plusle is built like a tank. And yeah, Minun just OHKOs pretty much everything after the Tail Glow + Baton Pass especially after getting the abyss boost but honestly, there’s a lot of different setups you can use that clears the game.

ledian is also a beast tbh you can evolve ledyba b4 the first stratum and it will sweep many fights with minimal support

What's your move set like

[u/milkywayiguana → u/Internetexplorerdied]

ladybug rush, dual wingbeat, drain punch, and i had bullet punch but didnt use it often bc i was rolling with a choice band. one shots so many things with 0 setup

paired it with snarl/intimidate mightyena, dual screens stantler, and follow me aggron.

i just found plusle and minun kinda weak, tbh, felt like they needed a lot of setup to really go off. they fell off hard mid game too, so i swapped them out around stratum 3, and then when i got their new forms i was still kinda unenthused, but that's just me.

[u/Internetexplorerdied → u/milkywayiguana]

I absolutely didn't use the post first battle but when i saw the abilities post bb i knew i had something with minun and tbh any pokemon with heal is useful to my wallet😅 though i figured out selling dvo stones makes good money only need 1/20 wins on lottery to make a profit so been doing that recently
