Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Shaymin-S was ultimately banned away to Ubers very quickly in its debut generation. One of its overpowering traits was its massive Speed stat. What was its Speed stat?
2. Shaymin-S shares the signature move of Seed Flare with Shaymin's regular forme. Unlike its regular forme, Seed Flare has an eye-popping 80% chance to halve the Special Defense of its target upon hitting it, rather than the 40% its regular forme gets. Why is this?
3. Taking after fellow mythical Jirachi, Shaymin-S could use its ability and access to one move in particular to completely shut down slower Pokémon, of which there were quite many. What move did Shaymin-S use to achieve this?
4. While Shaymin-S could very easily cause rage quits from its opponents, in the fifth generation, it had to contend with two counters in the Uber tier that were quite common, and thus, eased the minds of the otherwise easily angered assailants. Which two Pokémon could reliably switch in to Shaymin-S and win?
5. In the fifth generation, it was discovered that Shaymin-S could also be a potent sweeper. What boosting move did it use to attain this designation?
6. Shaymin-S' sweeping sets did require the player to invest a second team slot in a teammate that made these sweeping sets great. What teammate was mandatory for fifth generation Shaymin-S to reliably pull off a sweep?
7. In the sixth generation, two more counters to Shaymin-S emerged, cutting into its viability pretty badly. Who were these?
8. Unfortunately, Shaymin-S was mostly fringe-viable in sixth generation Ubers. Why was this?
9. Shaymin-S was still not very good in seventh generation Ubers, but it was discovered that it could be at least reasonably useful on offensive teams if a player dug deep into its movepool and unearthed an option that made this so. What new move did Shaymin-S frequently utilize in the seventh generation?
10. Dexit, the cutting of the Pokedex in half as the eighth generation initially began, forced many of our favorite critters to stay back in Alola until they were cleared for entry. Did Shaymin-S get to enter Galar immediately upon the eighth generation's release?
