Pokémon Champions Made Mega Hawlucha Into An Instant Win Button
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Pokémon Champions is shaping the future of competitive Pokémon despite initial bugs and controversy, with players adapting to the new meta within the game's constraints.
- Mega Hawlucha has become a standout due to its new Ability, No Guard, which guarantees that all attacks used by and against it will hit, enabling reliable use of low-accuracy moves.
- Players are exploiting No Guard in double battles by using Mega Hawlucha's Entrainment move to transfer the Ability to teammates who know one-hit knockout moves like Fissure or Guillotine, ensuring instant enemy knockouts.
- This strategy highlights how competitive players creatively leverage game mechanics to turn seemingly simple Pokémon into powerful threats, making Mega Hawlucha one of the most feared Pokémon in Champions shortly after release.
- While this tactic hasn’t been widely seen online yet, opponents facing Mega Hawlucha are advised to outspeed it and its partner to avoid devastating one-hit knockouts.
