fireflame Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 So, i'm out here training my team, getting ready for the next episode (like Dr Dre) and I was looking at my Feraligatr and wondered... How does the crest work with my moves and existing ability? Here's my Feraligatr: Ability: Sheer Force Moves: Agility, Liquidation, Crunch, Ice Fang Seeing this I had three thoughts on how this would go down: 1. The crest completely overwrites all abilities, so my Feraligatr only has Strong Jaw essentially. So Ice Fang and Crunch would be increased, but I still have the chance for a Liquidation Defense drop (because no Sheer Force). 2. The Crest gives "Strong Jaw" to Ice Fang and Crunch, but Sheer Force kicks in for the other moves. 3. Both the crest and the existing ability stack, so the biting moves get both a "Strong Jaw" and a Sheer Force boost, making 'Gatr shred opponents apart. (I hope it's this one) Could someone who has tested this please clarify? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meruem Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Why wouldn't it stack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liroy Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I am pretty sure the crest is an extra ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikss Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The damage output of my crest feraligtor is insane so i'm pretty sure it stacks. Wouldn't be a very good crest if it just overwrites the ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireflame Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 I wasn't sure, because I felt like the devs would try to balance making it good with making it OP, and Feraligatr is already good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson_Mc_Black Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 oh yeah it stacks, like other crests that basically give the pokemon another ability (like dusknior getting technician with his/hers) but doesn't over write the existing ability, so yeah feraligatrs crunch and ice fang get 2 power boosts (and priority if its the first move you use {works like fakeout}) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireflame Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Heck yeah, that's awesome! Feraligatr is on my list of top 5 starters, so it's great to know that he's really good in this game. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperblade Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 It's worth noting that the Crest doesn't give a 50% boost like Strong Jaw. It's only 20%. Life Orb is better for pure damage purposes, the real benefit of the Crest is the priority boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
