fireflame 5 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 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 post Share on other sites
Gore 10 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Why wouldn't it stack? Link to post Share on other sites
Liroy 11 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I am pretty sure the crest is an extra ability. Link to post Share on other sites
Kikss 15 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 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 post Share on other sites
fireflame 5 Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 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 post Share on other sites
Crimson_Mc_Black 15 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 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 post Share on other sites
fireflame 5 Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 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 post Share on other sites
Paperblade 68 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 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 post Share on other sites
