Obviously having to rely on focus miss sucks, but it's not a stretch to say that this means standard defensive TTar is out. Focus blast just OHKOs even specially defensive variants. ![]() ![]() It's a prediction, but not a hard one by any stretch. Issue 2, your counterplay is so linear and forced that torn clicks nasty plot on the turn 2 protect and now you die to the second heat wave. This is fine on its own, you live a +2 heat wave, hit a leech seed, click protect, you live a second +2 heat wave just barely thanks to leech seed and leftovers and click heavy slam, doing just barely enough for a kill. Issue 1, basically every torn will be running heat wave. But, as I'm going to be saying a lot in this post I think, we got yet more issues. Hey another reason for this mon to be on every team. But this is before you consider pursuit support, which can very easily remove Glowking from the equation. So not a full counter, though at least it's a check. Torn now either nukes with hurricane or switches out, then uses its plethora of opportunities to come in on various threats it beats, clicks nasty plot and beats you next time around. Thirdly, knock variants not only remove assault vest but also put it in range of +2 hurricane along with rocks chip.Now we have a problem. Alright, this is still fine, at least it lives two hurricanes at +2 so it can basically sacrifice itself for a 1-1 trade. Second, Glowking can only just about do over 50% to offensive with ice beam. The only way Slowking Galar can stand up to offensive Torn at +2 is with an Assault Vest, so you're immediately locked out of some of its great utility in chilly reception and toxic spikes. We nearly lost this as well, which would've been disastrous in the face of such a monster threat dropping right before NDPL (I agree with Runo, fuck OU why now of all times?).
