Aside from king's rock cloyster and scarfed togepi, what are some Pokemon very capable of flinching the enemy?

2 minute read

I usually use the name “Flynch” in games so I figured I’d make a flinch team for fun. I’ll be looking into ideas but I was curious if anybody here had some! I already have the cloyster and togepi. Also I’d prefer not to use king’s rock again since It’s on my cloyster.

Is there any restrictions to the Pokemon you can get? If not, then Jirachi is a very good fincher.Jirachi @ LeftoversAbility: Serene GraceNature: JollyEV’s: Attack and SpeedMoves:- Body Slam/Thunder Wave- Iron Head- Zen Headbutt- Fire Punch

This set is one of the most annoying in existence. Thunder Wave is for paralysis, although alternatively Body Slam can be used if you want to Paralyse Ground type and/or are worried about Taunt. Serene Grace gives it a 60% chance to paralyse. Iron Head and Zen Headbutt are STAB, and both have their flinch chance doubled by Serene Grace. Fire Punch is coverage, and can be replaced by something else if there is something you prefer.

There are a few more candidates for Serene Grace flinchers.

Cinccino @ Kings RockAbility: Skill LinkEVs: 252 Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HPNature: Jolly/ Adamant-Bullet Seed-Rock Blast-Tail Slap-U-Turn

Same as Skill Link Cloyster, Cinccino has 41% of flinching something with a 5 hit move. It has wider coverage as well, and more moves to make use of Skill Link.

Shaymin-Sky @ Leftovers/ Sharp BeakAbility: Serene GraceEVs: 252 Sp. Atk, 252 Speed, 4 HPNature: Timid-Air Slash-Seed Flare-Substitute-Leech Seed/ Earth Power/ Synthesis

You can’t use Shaymin-Sky in wifi battles as of Gen V, but maybe Gen VI will change that mechanic.

Dunsparce @ LeftoversAbility: Serene GraceEVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Def, 4 Sp. DefNature: Careful-Glare/ Body Slam-Coil-Headbutt/ Rock Slide-Roost

Hey, it works; what can I say. Dunsparce is susceptible to status like Toxic & Burn though, since it’s slower than all the others.

Aerodactyl outspeeds almost everything especially outside of ubers.
