Darkrai will be fine; HypnoRai was its least consistent set and only really worth using for how solid its balance matchup is with a bit of luck. It’ll just go back to using its other sets.
Same hat.
I think this gets hit a bit harder than the two above. It has less set versatility and its sleep sets were more consistent, so without sleep powder, it faces a lot more competition on sun, a playstyle that can’t possibly fit all its viable abusers onto one team as it is. However, it’s still one of the best Chlorophyll Pokémon in the game, so I’m sure it’s not all doom and gloom.
Meh. Hypnosis was mostly a filler move on it that was chosen for its potential to cheese. It never needed it and is gonna do exactly the same thing it always did.
Surprisingly, unlike Ninetales-A, Torkoal is hit a good deal harder. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not going to be used any less since it still is the sun setter of choice, but being able to force switches with Yawn helps a lot with its passivity and synergized very well with the Stealth Rocks it set. I suspect it’ll just be running Wisp most of the time instead.
This Pokémon gets hit the hardest out of everything listed so far; Spore + Regenerator let it spread consistent sleep throughout the course of a game, which it can’t do any more. However, Stun Spore is still a great pick for its utility in terms of speed control, though that 75% accuracy hurts. Of course, if you want to sleep things that bad, you could always drop Regenerator for Effect Spore KEKW
Losing Spore is actually nuclear for it. It really needs the free turns to do its lead shenaningans. Even with all the moves in the world, it’s harder than ever to justify it on anything other than webs.
Well there goes its one OU niche. Now it has little to set itself apart from the 50 million other breakers & priority users.
