Seed Bomb’s most prevalent wielder, Trevenant, has a really bad time with this change. PvPoke shows a drop from a 58.5% winrate across the Great League meta to a 45.2% one in the 1shield. “Oh it’s fine, how much could an energy increase matter?” And then it matters a lot. Especially since they’re less likely to deal with Trevenant, because Seed Bomb: 55 Power➡60 Power, 40 Energy➡45 Energy While this may not immediately rocket all three to the top of the tier lists, solid matchups against Pokémon like Galarian Stunfisk, Bastiodon, and other Steel-types will certainly help them with relevance. ![]() Mud Bomb has some pretty notable users, too! Whiscash, Toxicroak, and Unovan Stunfisk have all had their time in the spotlight. And now it’s fixed! Objectively, this slaps. Mud Bomb has, for whatever reason, been slightly hamstrung for PvP’s entire lifetime. Hey, finally, one that matters! A 40 energy move is “supposed to” have 60 Power. Don’t expect this to change its performance. Rollout: 4 Power➡5 PowerĪs a 3-turn fast move, Rollout previously had a depressing 1.33 DPT. While it’s nice that this’ll buff up the move’s damage, I don’t think it’ll help that much overall. Either you spammed it to drop your target’s defense while hitting with fast moves, or you used it to bait. Poison Fang’s primary utility was in its low energy cost. Unlike Icicle Spear, though, it’s a little bit hard to feel like this is really going to matter. ![]() Also like Icicle Spear, it’s getting a 5 power buff. Like Icicle Spear, Poison Fang got a 5 energy nerf that thoroughly tanked its utility. Though Walrein's main buff comes a little later with the Seed Bomb nerf. While they’re not reverting the energy nerf, 5 extra power should certainly help Walrein, at least a little bit. However, shortly after release it got nerfed, increasing its energy cost to 40, which meaningfully hurt Walrein’s usability. Icicle Spear started out as a 60 Power/35 Energy move. Move Rebalances Icicle Spear: 60 Power➡65 Power
