Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Spiritomb was the talk of the town in its debut generation of standard play. At least, it was initially. With the release of "Pokémon Platinum" came a new threat into the fourth generation metagame that took away a lot of reason to use Spiritomb. Which threat was this?
2. It should be noted that, once Spiritomb dropped to fourth generation UnderUsed, it essentially picked up right where it left off before the release of "Pokémon Platinum". That is to say that it was a stellar Pokémon in fourth generation UU. Much of the reason for this can be attributed to its stellar defensive Ghost/Dark typing. How many weaknesses did this typing have in the fourth generation?
3. Fittingly, Spiritomb's great defensive typing has been complemented by good Defense and Special Defense stats. These are unfortunately held back a lot by its poor HP stat, but they're just high enough to make Spiritomb decently bulky. What is Spiritomb's Defense and Special Defense stat?
4. Spiritomb could contribute to offensive teams, despite its slightly underwhelming offensive stats, in a couple different ways. The most common method was simple Pursuit trapping, but another common and lethally efficient method saw Spiritomb take a page out of Suicune's book and opt for a tried and true Calm Mind, bulky boosting set. What was frequently the damaging move of choice on this set in the fourth generation and onward?
5. Spiritomb received access to an intriguing Hidden Ability in the fifth generation. What ability was this?
6. As fifth generation power creep kicked in, one of the Spiritomb's nagging flaws began to more seriously hinder its defensive capabilities - its terrible Speed stat. What is Spiritomb's Speed stat?
7. Spiritomb's defensive typing took a bit of a hit in the sixth generation, when a new typing appeared that could hit it super effectively. What typing was this?
8. As Spiritomb descended to sixth generation RarelyUsed, it unfortunately fell into a tier where a big time hard counter to it was a prominent face, which cut into Spiritomb's viability significantly. Which Pokémon of the following could switch into Spiritomb and defeat it quite reliably here?
9. Spiritomb fell down a few notches in the seventh generation, with another major dosage of power creep. Which usage based tier was it in here?
10. While it was definitely negatively impacted overall by the introduction of Z-Moves, Spiritomb itself could at least be an effective wielder of this mechanic in its new competitive tier. Which Z-Crystal did it often make use of here?
