Totem Salazzle

by DrPumpkinz

In most totem battles, the Totem is the main attacker, and the called ally Pokemon act as support. Game Freak seemed to be trying to reverse the roles with this totem, but they fell flat in a few ways that I tried to fix. Additionally, there are a few Ground-types available shortly before the trial, and they just completely demolish Salazzle without even trying. Salazzle was given Protect and Disable over Flame Burst and Torment. Protect not only allows Salazzle to Toxic stall, but lets it block a super effective attack, which can then be promptly Disabled. It was also given a Shuca Berry to tank a Ground attack. Salandit was given Fake Out to stun the player as they get Disabled, Nasty Plot to make themselves more threatening, and Flame Burst as a secondary attack. To be honest, the main reason Flame Burst is there is because it would feel weird for the Fire trial to not have any Fire attacks.
