Amoonguss is no stranger to the Pok\u00e9mon VGC meta. The mushroom was first introduced in Gen V and was the centerpiece of the infamous \u201cCHALK\u201d teams that dominated the Gen VI meta. In the modern Gen IX meta, we constantly see Amoonguss working alongside the likes of Flutter Mane, Iron Hands, and Ting-Lu.\u00a0 In fact, according to Pikalytics, it\u2019s been the second most-used Pok\u00e9mon in Reg. C on Pok\u00e9mon Showdown where competitive players test different compositions. When it comes to recent major tournaments, Amoonguss has consistently been in the top five most-used Pok\u00e9mon, reaching as high as second place just below the very overpowered Flutter Mane. What makes Amoonguss so good in VGC is its ability to support its allies. It can put foes to Sleep with Spore, redirect attacks with Rage Powder, and heal allies with Pollen Puff. Some also run Clear Smog to reset the stats of Pok\u00e9mon that often set up like Dondozo or Kingambit. Interestingly enough, Game Freak tried to bring in Amoonguss competition when they introduced its Paradox counterpart, Brute Bonnet, in Gen IX. On paper, Brute Bonnet is supposed to be the stronger one of the duo\u2014compare its 570 base stat total to Amoonguss\u2019 464. Brute Bonnet beats Amoonguss in every stat aside from Special Attack, which hardly matters when the latter isn\u2019t an offensive threat anyway. However, Amoonguss is still used way more than its Paradox relative because of its ability and typing. Brute Bonnet has seven type weaknesses, while Amoonguss only suffers four. Plus, Amoonguss\u2019 Regenerator ability allows it to heal a bit of its HP when it swaps out of battle, while Brute Bonnet\u2019s Protosynthesis isn\u2019t nearly as useful for support Pok\u00e9mon. Players are so aware of how dangerous the little mushroom is that they\u2019ll do almost anything to stop it in its tracks. For example, the Grass Tera Type is pretty common because it's one of the few ways Pok\u00e9mon can avoid being affected and put to sleep by Amoonguss' Spore. Similarly, we\u2019ve seen multiple players burn their own Pok\u00e9mon to avoid the pesky sleep status. We\u2019ve even had instances where Gholdengo used Trick to give Amoonguss a Choice item to lock it into a single move. As the 2023 Fresno champion Emilio Forbes said, players are now forced to take these extreme measures just to counter this one mushroom. It might not look it, but Amoonguss\u2019 impact on the meta is truly terrifying.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Pokemon-Amoonguss.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897579"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897579"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":897849,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897579\/revisions\/897849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=897579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Amoonguss is no stranger to the Pok\u00e9mon VGC meta. The mushroom was first introduced in Gen V and was the centerpiece of the infamous \u201cCHALK\u201d teams that dominated the Gen VI meta. In the modern Gen IX meta, we constantly see Amoonguss working alongside the likes of Flutter Mane, Iron Hands, and Ting-Lu.\u00a0 In fact, according to Pikalytics, it\u2019s been the second most-used Pok\u00e9mon in Reg. C on Pok\u00e9mon Showdown where competitive players test different compositions. When it comes to recent major tournaments, Amoonguss has consistently been in the top five most-used Pok\u00e9mon, reaching as high as second place just below the very overpowered Flutter Mane. What makes Amoonguss so good in VGC is its ability to support its allies. It can put foes to Sleep with Spore, redirect attacks with Rage Powder, and heal allies with Pollen Puff. Some also run Clear Smog to reset the stats of Pok\u00e9mon that often set up like Dondozo or Kingambit. Interestingly enough, Game Freak tried to bring in Amoonguss competition when they introduced its Paradox counterpart, Brute Bonnet, in Gen IX. On paper, Brute Bonnet is supposed to be the stronger one of the duo\u2014compare its 570 base stat total to Amoonguss\u2019 464. Brute Bonnet beats Amoonguss in every stat aside from Special Attack, which hardly matters when the latter isn\u2019t an offensive threat anyway. However, Amoonguss is still used way more than its Paradox relative because of its ability and typing. Brute Bonnet has seven type weaknesses, while Amoonguss only suffers four. Plus, Amoonguss\u2019 Regenerator ability allows it to heal a bit of its HP when it swaps out of battle, while Brute Bonnet\u2019s Protosynthesis isn\u2019t nearly as useful for support Pok\u00e9mon. Players are so aware of how dangerous the little mushroom is that they\u2019ll do almost anything to stop it in its tracks. For example, the Grass Tera Type is pretty common because it's one of the few ways Pok\u00e9mon can avoid being affected and put to sleep by Amoonguss' Spore. Similarly, we\u2019ve seen multiple players burn their own Pok\u00e9mon to avoid the pesky sleep status. We\u2019ve even had instances where Gholdengo used Trick to give Amoonguss a Choice item to lock it into a single move. As the 2023 Fresno champion Emilio Forbes said, players are now forced to take these extreme measures just to counter this one mushroom. It might not look it, but Amoonguss\u2019 impact on the meta is truly terrifying.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Pokemon-Amoonguss.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897579"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897579"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":897849,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897579\/revisions\/897849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=897579"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=897579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
