PU Gourgeist-S mini

[Mega-Pokebattlerz]

[OVERVIEW]
Gourgeist-S is one of the more unique Gourgeist formes, as rather than attempting to take hits like its larger counterparts, it instead chooses to wear down foes with the infamous combination of Leech Seed and Substitute. Unfortunately, Jumpluff can do all of this while also boasting a better Speed tier and a stronger offensive presence, as well as more utility with Strength Sap. Gourgeist-S is also hindered by a mediocre defensive typing and an inability to threaten Pokemon like Clefairy and Articuno. Finally, any sets it could possibly run outside of SubSeed are done better by its other formes, namely Gourgeist-XL.

[SET]

move 1: Substitute
move 2: Leech Seed

evs: 152 HP / 132 Def / 224 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
This set attempts to wear the opponent down with Leech Seed and Will-O-Wisp, while being mostly protected from attacks thanks to Substitute. Gourgeist-S's bad HP actually works to its benefit here, as with Leech Seed, it will almost always recover enough HP to get another Substitute up. However, a SubSeed set like this is better done by Jumpluff due to its higher Speed and ability to cripple physical attackers with Strength Sap, which doubles as a more reliable form of recovery.

the set for this should be subseed. sorry, honestly didnt even bother to check the sets after the mass pm. but yeah, average already has a ToT set and subseed is very obviously the niche this has so this should get changed

Yeah... sorry about that. I changed the set accordingly, at the very least.

[OVERVIEW]
The fastest Gourgeist forme, but far from the best. (remove, look down)It does have a niche in its relatively good speed tier, but it's held back by it's awful HP and weaker Attack stat compared to the other Gourgeist formes, especially Gourgeist-XL.(Small Gour is actually the second best gour, but that honestly irrelevant since they fill different roles. While its fine to give a small mention to gour xl, this should focus much more on its lack of offensive presence and competition from Jumpluff.

This set is an annoying one to face. (remove this, doesnt add anything)It wears the opponent down with Leech Seed and Will-O-Wisp, while being (mostly) protected from attacks thanks to Substitute. Gourgeist-S's bad HP actually works to its benefit here, as with Leech Seed, it will almost always recover enough HP to get another Substitute up. However, a SubSeed set like this is better done by Jumpluff due to its higher Speed and ability to cripple physical attackers with Strength Sap, which doubles as a more reliable form of recovery.

this should focus on jumpluff yes, but that doesn't mean cutting out all the content here. like it's got a few other basic notable flaws that don't appear here at all, it's not just competition. bad defensive typing, mediocre stats, unable to threaten certain random mons like clef and cuno...

reticent to stamp this, mostly fine but it needs like 2 more sentences in the overview which is a significant percentage of a mini-analysis. I'll call it 2/2 but I'll try to look back once this goes to GP just in case something goes wrong
